Seeker Overlay ON

* Then I stood on the sand of the sea . And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea , having seven heads and ten horns , and on his horns ten crowns , and on his heads a blasphemous name . * Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard , his feet were like the feet of a bear , and his mouth like the mouth of a lion . The dragon gave him his power , his throne , and great authority . * And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded , and his deadly wound was healed . And all the world marveled and followed the beast . * So 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 him ?" * And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies , and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months . * Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God , to blaspheme His name , His tabernacle , and those who dwell in heaven . * It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them . And authority was given him over every tribe , tongue , and nation . * All who dwell on the earth will worship him , whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world . * If anyone has an ear , let him hear . * He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity ; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword . Here is the patience and the faith of the saints .
