Revelation 17:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads represent seven hills upon which the woman is seated. They also represent seven kings. ¹⁰ Five have already fallen, one is still living, and the other has not yet come. When he does come, he must remain only for a short while. ¹¹ As for the beast that was alive but is now alive no longer, it is at the same time the eighth and one of the seven, and it is headed for destruction.
