Exegesis
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.
In context — Revelation 17:10
And they are seven kings . The five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come; and whenever he comes, it is necessary for him to remain a little while.
