Revelation 17:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ Then the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will show you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that bears her which has seven heads and ten horns.

⁸ The beast that you have seen was and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit; and shall go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth - whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world - shall wonder when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

⁹ Here is the mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains whereon the woman sits. They are also seven kings.
