The           beast           that  thou  sawest  was ,  and  is  not ;  and  shall  ascend  out  of  the  bottomless  pit ,  and  go  into  perdition :  and  they that  dwell  on  the  earth  shall  wonder ,  whose  names  were  not  written  in  the  book  of  life  from  the  foundation  of the  world , when they  behold  the  beast  that  was ,  and  is  not , and  yet  is .
