Revelation 17:9 In-Context

7 And the angel said to me, "Why are you astonished? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that has the seven heads and the ten horns that carries her.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is going to come up from the abyss, and he is going to destruction. And those who live on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished [when they] see the beast that was, and is not, and will be present.
9 Here [is] the mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains {on which the woman sits} and they are seven kings.
10 Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and whenever he comes it is necessary [for] him to remain a short time.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, is also himself an eighth, and is of the seven, and he is going to destruction.
