Revelation 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not. See notes on
Revelation 13:1-10. The beast that existed then, when John wrote, was to
receive a deadly wound, and to appear again in a new form.
They . . . whose name were not written in the book of life. Are
not of God's spiritual children.
From the foundation of the world. The meaning of this expression
is to be sought in Revelation 13:8. Their names were written in the book
of life which had existed from the time referred to in Revelation 13:8,
when the plan of redemption was prepared in the counsels of God.
