Revelation 17:8

The beast you saw once was, and now is not. But it is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. Some people who live on the earth have names that were not written in the Book of Life since the world was made. They will be amazed when they see the beast. It once was, and now is not, and yet will come.
