Revelation 13:5-7

5The beast was given a mouth to utter boasts and blasphemies. It was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

6It began to speak blasphemies against God: to blaspheme his name and his dwelling — those who dwell in heaven.

7And it was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. It was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.
