Revelation 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. |
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. |
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. |
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? |
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. |
6 |
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to
blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven. |
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. |
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. |
9 |
If any man have an ear, let him hear. |
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. |
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. |
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 |
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down
from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, |
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. |
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. |
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: |
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. |
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. |
