"^(x)The beast that you saw ^(y)was, and is not, and is about to ^(z)come up out of the ^(aa)abyss and ^[g](ab)go to destruction. And ^(ac)those who dwell on the earth, ^(ad)whose name has not been written in the book of life ^(ae)from the foundation of the world, will ^(af)wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come.

The beast which ^(aj)was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he ^(ak)goes to destruction.
