12th Imam as Beast of Revelation 17

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7hRbWPjRYM

"The beast that you saw existed once but now exists no longer. It will come up from the abyss and is headed for destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world shall be amazed when they see the beast, because it existed once but exists no longer, and yet it will come again." (My emphasis)

Revelation 17:8

Does this not describe the occultation and much anticipated return of the 12th Imam by Shia Muslims in the last days?
