The Beast from the Sea |
|
|
 |
|
Revelation 13:1

|
And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.
Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads,
and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. |
|
|
|
|
|
Revelation 13:2
|
|
And the beast which I saw was like a leopard,
and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.
And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 13:3
|
|
I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain,
and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after
the beast; |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 13:4
|
|
they worshiped the dragon because he gave his
authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the
beast, and who is able to wage war with him?" |
| |
|
|
|
Revelation 13:5

And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against
God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. |
| |
|
|

It was also given to him to make war with the
saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue
and nation was given to him. |
|
|

Revelation 13:8

All who dwell on the earth will worship him,
everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the
book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. |

Revelation 13:9
|
|
If anyone has an ear, let him hear. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 13:10
|
|
If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity
he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here
is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. |

The Beast from the Earth |

|
|
Revelation 13:12

He exercises all the authority of the first
beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship
the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. |
|

He performs great signs, so that he even makes
fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 13:14
|
|
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth
because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the
beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who
*had
the wound of the sword and has come to life. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 13:15

And it was given to him to give breath to the
image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause
as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 13:16
|
|
And he causes all, the small and the great,
and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark
on their right hand or on their forehead, |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 13:17
|
|
and he provides that no one will be able to
buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast
or the number of his name. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 13:18
|
|
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding
calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number
is six hundred and sixty-six. |
