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

Verse 11 is found in chapter 17 of Revelation. The angel interprets part of the mystery of the woman and the beast carrying her. The seven heads are associated with seven mountains and seven kings, while the ten horns represent ten kings who receive authority for one hour together with the beast. Historical interpretations of these symbols have varied, so the text should be distinguished from any automatic contemporary identification. The central narrative point is that the powers allied with the beast will ultimately wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer because he is Lord of lords and King of kings.

Und das Tier, das gewesen und ist nicht, das ist der achte und ist von den sieben und fährt in die Verdammnis.
Y la bestia que era, y no es, es también el octavo, y es de los siete, y va a perdición.
La bestia que existía y no existe es también un octavo rey; pertenece a los siete y va a la perdición.
Et la bête qui était, et qui n'est plus, est elle-même un huitième roi, et elle est du nombre des sept, et elle va à la perdition.
E la bestia che era, e non è più, è anch’essa un ottavo re, ed è de’ sette, e se ne va in perdizione.
E a besta que era e já não é, é ela também o oitavo, e é dos sete, e vai à perdição.
那以前有、現在沒有的獸就是第八個,他也和那七個同列,正歸於沉淪。
