Revelation 17:7-12

Riverside(i) 7 The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the woman and the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The Beast which you saw was and is not and will soon come up out of the abyss and go into destruction. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life will be amazed when they see the Beast that was and is not and will be. 9 Here is need for a mind that has wisdom. "The seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman sits. 10 Also they are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he comes he must stay but a little while. 11 The Beast which was and is not is also himself an eighth, yet is one of the seven, and will go into destruction. 12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received kingly power, but they will receive power as kings for one hour with the Beast.
