Revelation 17:11 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

This beast that existed before, then disappeared, but shows up again? He's like the eighth ruler, but he's actually connected to the previous seven — and he's headed straight for destruction.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Evil keeps recycling itself, but it always ends up in the same place: completely destroyed.

Revelation 17:8

That beast you saw? It used to exist, then it didn't, and it's going to come back up from the pit of destruction before heading to its final doom. Everyone on earth whose names aren't written in God's book of life — the one he's been keeping since the world began — they're going to be completely amazed when they see this beast that was here, then wasn't, but somehow still is.
