Quote:

8) The beast that you saw existed once but now exists no longer. It will come up from the abyss and is headed for destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world shall be amazed when they see the beast, because it existed once but exists no longer, and yet it will come again.
9) Here is a clue for one who has wisdom. The seven heads represent seven hills upon which the woman sits. They also represent seven kings:
10) five have already fallen, one still lives, and the last has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a short while.
11 )The beast that existed once but exists no longer is an eighth king, but really belongs to the seven and is headed for destruction.

In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed [rev 17:9], and the formidable Judge will judge his people [rev 17:10]. The End.
