Titus 1:2New International Versionin the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, See the chapter |
The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.
