A Scarlet colored Beast.

"I saw a Woman sit upon a scarlet colored Beast, full of names of blasphemy, having Seven Heads and Ten Horns.
I will tell thee the mystery of the Woman and of the Beast that carried her which hath the Seven Horns.
The Beast that thou sawest was and is not; and shall ascend out of the Bottomless Pit and go into perdition.
The Seven Heads are Seven Mountains on which the Woman sitteth.
And they (the seven heads) are Seven Kings; Five are fallen and One is and the other is not, yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the Beast that was, and is not, even he is the Eighth, and is of the Seven and goeth into perdition.
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.
These have one mind and shall give their power unto the Beast. . . .
And the Ten Horns which thou sawest upon the Beast, these shall hate the whore and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will and to agree and give their kingdom unto the Beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled."
