Exegesis
The verse begins with the coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} linking back to the preceding vision, followed by the noun phrase hoi basileis hepta {οἱ βασιλεῖς ἑπτὰ | hoí ba-si-leîs hep-tà} “the kings seven,” where the article and cardinal numeral mark a definite group.
A triadic series of nominative clauses—hoi pente epesan {οἱ πέντε ἔπεσαν | hoí pén-te é-pe-san} “the five fell,” ho heis estin {ὁ εἷς ἐστιν | ho heîs é-stin} “the one is,” ho allos oupō ēlthen {ὁ ἄλλος οὔπω ἦλθεν | ho ál-los oú-pō ḗl-then} “the other has not yet come”—creates a progression from past fall to present existence and future coming.
