Revelation 17:6-8
New King James Version
6 I saw (A)the woman, drunk (B)with the blood of the saints and with the blood of (C)the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
The Meaning of the Woman and the Beast
7 But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the [a]mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and (D)will ascend out of the bottomless pit and (E)go to [b]perdition. And those who (F)dwell on the earth (G)will marvel, (H)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 [c]yet is.
