1211

The beast that you saw was, and now is not, but is about to rise from the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose names have (gegraptai | γέγραπται | perf pass ind 3 sg) not been written (gegraptai | γέγραπται | perf pass ind 3 sg) in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, will be astounded when they see the beast, because he was and is not, but is to come.
