Revelation 17:11 Revelation 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth (king of the Roman Empire,) and is of the seven, as Revelation 17:8 see the exposition. See KNOLLYS: Revelation 17:8 And goeth into perdition. He came out of the bottomless pit, \ and therefore called the angel of the bottomless pit, \ and called the king of the locusts. He is the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition. \
