Revelations,
Chapter 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. |
