Discovery BoxRevelation 17:9-10 
Context17:9 (This requires 1 a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains 2 the woman sits on. They are also seven kings: 17:10 five have fallen; one is, 3 and the other has not yet come, but whenever he does come, he must remain for only a brief time.
1 tn Grk “Here is the mind that has wisdom.”
2 tn It is important to note that the height of “mountains” versus “hills” or other topographical terms is somewhat relative. In terms of Palestinian topography, Mount Tabor (traditionally regarded as the mount of transfiguration) is some 1,800 ft (550 m) above sea level, while the Mount of Olives is only some 100 ft (30 m) higher than Jerusalem.
3 tn That is, one currently reigns.
