Revelation 17:2, 8

with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.

The 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.
