Revelation 17:11

The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.

·        He is of the seven in the sense that he shares characteristics with all previous world empires, but his fate is clear. (DG)

·        Perdition means “destruction,” and the beast will be destroyed.  (DG)

Psalm 73:22  I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.

Psalm 73:18  Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction (perdition)
