Revelation 13:1: “And I" [John] "stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads" [The rise of the Seven Kings] "and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads" [Kings/leaders] "the name of blasphemy.”

Revelation 17:3: “So he" [The angel] "carried me" [John] "away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw" [A vision of] "a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.”

Revelation 17:12: “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the BEAST.” The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed.
