Exegesis
The final coordinated clause kai eis apōleian hypagei {καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγει | kaí eis apṓ-lei-an hypá-gei} uses eis with the accusative to express movement toward a goal, with the present hypagei conveying a certain, underway progression toward “destruction.” The series of kai-linked clauses builds a compact profile: identity (the beast), paradoxical existence (was and is not), numerical relation (eighth yet from the seven), and destined outcome (going into destruction). English renderings maintain this clausal chaining and preserve the present aspect of hypagei by using “is going” and “is headed,” which communicate an assured but not yet completed fate.
In context — Revelation 17:11
And the beast which was and is not, even it is an eighth, and is from the seven, and it is going into destruction .
