Revelation 17:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ And I saw that this woman was drunk from the blood of the saints and the blood of Jesus’ martyrs.

Explanation of the Woman and the Beast

When I saw her, I was greatly amazed. ⁷ And the angel said to me, “Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, the one that has seven heads and ten horns. ⁸ The beast that you saw: He existed, is no more, and he is about to come out of the abyss and go to destruction. Those who make their home on the earth, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the creation of the world, will be amazed when they see the beast, because he existed, is no more, and will exist again.
