Revelation 13:2-10

2TheG3588 beastG2342 I sawG3708 wasG1510 likeG3664 a leopardG3917, with theG3588 feetG4228 ofG5613 a bearG715 andG2532 theG3588 mouthG4750 ofG5613 a lionG3023. AndG2532 theG3588 dragonG1404 gaveG1325 the beast hisG846 powerG1411 andG2532 hisG846 throneG2362 andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849.

OneG1520 ofG1537 theG3588 headsG2776 ofG846 the beast appearedG5613 to have been mortally woundedG4969G1519G2288. But theG3588 mortalG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323, andG2532 theG3588 wholeG3650 worldG1093 marveledG2296 and followedG3694 theG3588 beastG2342. 4They worshipedG4352 theG3588 dragonG1404 whoG3754 had givenG1325 authorityG1849 to theG3588 beastG2342, andG2532 they worshipedG4352 theG3588 beastG2342, sayingG3004, “WhoG5101 is likeG3664 theG3588 beastG2342, andG2532 whoG5101 canG1410 wage warG4170 againstG3326 itG846?”

The beast was givenG1325 a mouthG4750 to speakG2980 arrogantG3173 andG2532 blasphemousG988 words, andG2532 authorityG1849 to actG4160 for 42G5062G2532G1417 monthsG3376. 6AndG2532 the beast openedG455 itsG846 mouthG4750 toG1519 speak blasphemiesG988 againstG4314 GodG2316 and to slanderG987 HisG846 nameG3686 andG2532 HisG846 tabernacleG4633—those whoG3588 dwellG4637 inG1722 heavenG3772.

7ThenG2532 the beast was permittedG1325 to wage warG4160G4171 againstG3326 theG3588 saintsG40 andG2532 to conquerG3528 themG846, andG2532 itG846 was givenG1325 authorityG1849 overG1909 everyG3956 tribeG5443 andG2532 peopleG2992 andG2532 tongueG1100 andG2532 nationG1484. 8AndG2532 allG3956 whoG3588 dwellG2730 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 will worshipG4352 the beast—all whoseG3739 namesG3686 have not been writtenG3756G1125 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889 inG1722 theG3588 BookG975 of LifeG2222 belonging to theG3588 LambG721 whoG3588 was slainG4969.1

9He whoG1487G5100 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191:

10“IfG1487 anyoneG5100 is destined for captivityG161,intoG1519 captivityG161 he will goG5217;ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is to dieG6152 byG1722 the swordG3162,byG1722 the swordG3162 heG846 mustG1163 be killedG615.”3

HereG5602 isG1510 a call for theG3588 perseveranceG5281 andG2532 faithG4102 of theG3588 saintsG40.
