Revelation Chapter 13
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast
rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,
and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of
a lion : and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great
authority.
13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death ; and his deadly wound was healed : and all the world
wondered after the beast.
13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power
unto the beast : and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like
unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies ; and power was given unto him to continue
forty and two months.
13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints,
and to overcome them : and power was given him over all kindreds,
and tongues, and nations.
13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship
him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world.
13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity
: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword .
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the
earth ; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast
before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship
the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire
come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast
; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an
image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of
the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that
as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads :
13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that
had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18 Here is wisdom . Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast : for it is the number of a man ;
and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
