Interpretation
n(Rev 17:9-12 NIV) "This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. {10} They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. {11} The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction. {12} "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.
