Revelation 17:12

Verse 12 of 18. The 17th of 22 chapters in Revelation, in Revelation.

8The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.

9Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

10They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

11The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

12The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.

13These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

14These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

15He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

16The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
