Reve 17:8
&
"The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and (One early ms reads {is going}) go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come.
