5. On her forehead a name was written:
6. I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.When I saw her, I marveled greatly.
7. Then the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8. The beast, which you saw, was, and is not, and is to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and is to come.
9. “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.
11. Concerning the beast who was, and is not, he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to destruction.
12. “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom yet, but they will receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
13. These are of one mind and will give their power and authority to the beast.
14. These will wage war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”
