Revelation 17:7-9

The Voice

Guide: ⁷ Why are you so amazed? I will reveal to you the mystery of this woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. ⁸ The beast you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go away into eternal destruction. And the earth dwellers, whose names have not been inscribed in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished when they see the beast because it was and is not and is to come.

⁹ Here is the mind possessing wisdom: The seven heads signify the seven mountains where the woman is seated. They also stand for seven kings.
