8The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, they whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.
Revelation 17:11, Revelation 11:7, Revelation 17:11, Revelation 11:7, Revelation 9:1

Revelation 13:18, Revelation 13:18, Revelation 17:7, Revelation 17:7, Daniel 12:8
10and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.
11And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.

Revelation 18:8, Revelation 18:8, Leviticus 21:9, Ezekiel 16:37, Ezekiel 16:44
17For God did put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
