Revelation 17:8-11
New King James Version
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and (A)will ascend out of the bottomless pit and (B)go to [a]perdition. And those who (C)dwell on the earth (D)will marvel, (E)whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and [b]yet is.
9 (F)“Here is the mind which has wisdom: (G)The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must (H)continue a short time. 11 The (I)beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to [c]perdition.

Revelation 17:8-11
New International Version
8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss(A) and go to its destruction.(B) The inhabitants of the earth(C) whose names have not been written in the book of life(D) from the creation of the world will be astonished(E) when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.
9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom.(F) The seven heads(G) are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not,(H) is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.
