Revelation 13:5-7

5The wild animal received authority to rule people for 42 months. It could speak proud words and insult God.

6So it started to speak against God. It insulted God's name and the place where he lives, as well as the people who live there in heaven.

7It received power to fight a war against God's own people and to win against them. It received authority to rule over people from every nation, people from every tribe and people from every language.
