Revelation Chapter[BR] 13

1 And I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten diadems, and on its heads names of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave its power to it, and its throne, and great authority.

Revelation Chapter[BR] 13

3 And I saw one of its heads, as having been slain to death, and its deadly wound was healed. And all the earth wondered after the beast.

4 And they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast; who is able to make war with it?

5 And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to it. And authority to act forty two months was given to it.

Revelation Chapter[BR] 13

6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemy toward God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, and those tabernacling in Heaven.

7 And it was given to it "to war with the saints, and to overcome them." And authority was given to it over every tribe and tongue and nation. Dan. 7:21

8 And all those dwelling in the earth will worship it, those of whom the names had not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb having been slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation Chapter[BR] 13

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

10 If anyone gathers captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone will kill by a sword, by a sword he must be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. And it had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon.

Revelation Chapter[BR] 13

12 And it executes all the authority of the first beast before it. And it causes that the earth and those dwelling in it should worship the first beast, of which was healed its deadly wound.

13 And it does great signs, that it even causes fire to come down out of the heaven onto the earth before men.

14 And it deceives those dwelling on the earth, because of the signs which were given to it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword, and lived.

Revelation Chapter[BR] 13

15 And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16 And the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves, it causes that they give to them all a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads,

Revelation Chapter[BR] 13

17 even that not any could buy or sell, except the one having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of its name.

18 Here is wisdom: Let the one having reason count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and its number is six hundred and sixty six.
