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