Revelation:13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then 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 crowns ,
and on his heads blasphemous names .
*
And 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 one of his heads [
was ]
as if it had been slain to death ,
and his wound of death was healed .
And the whole world marveled after the Beast .
*
And they worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the Beast ;
and they worshipped the Beast ,
saying , "
Who is like the beast ?
Who is able to make war with him ?"
*
And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemy ,
and authority was given to him to make war for forty-two months .
*
Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God ,
to blaspheme His name ,
and His dwelling ,
and those who dwell in heaven .
*
And it was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them .
And authority was given him over every tribe ,
people ,
language ,
and nation .
*
And all those who dwell on the earth shall worship him ,
whose name is not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world .
*
If anyone has an ear ,
let him hear .
*
If anyone has captivity ,
he goes away ;
if anyone [
is ]
with [
the ]
sword ,
he must be killed .
Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints .
*
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth ,
and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon .
*
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him ,
and he causes the earth and those who dwell in it ,
to worship the first Beast ,
whose deadly wound was healed .
*
And he works great signs ,
so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth before men .
*
And he deceives my own [
people ]
who dwell on the earth by the signs which were given to him to do before the Beast ,
saying to those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound-and came to life ! -
from the sword .
*
And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the beast ,
that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed .
*
And he causes all ,
small and great ,
rich and poor ,
free and bond ,
that they should receive marks on their right hand ,
or on their foreheads ,
*
and that no one may buy or sell except he that has the mark ,
the name of the beast ,
or the number of his name .
*
Here is wisdom .
Let him that has understanding calculate the number of the beast ,
for it is [
the ]
number of man-his number is 666 .
