Revelation 13:2-10

2And the beast which I saw was 1like a leopard, and his feet were like those of 2a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of 3a lion. And the 4dragon gave him his power and his 5throne and great authority. 3I saw one of his heads as if it had been 6slain, and his 7fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth 8was amazed and followed after the beast; 4they worshiped the 9dragon because he 10gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “11Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” 5There was given to him a mouth 12speaking 13arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for 14forty-two months was given to him. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, 15those who 16dwell in heaven.

7It was also given to him to 17make war with the 18saints and to overcome them, and authority over 19every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. 8All who 20dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone 21whose name has not been 22written 23from the foundation of the world in the 24book of life of 25the Lamb who has been slain. 9 26If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 27If anyone 28is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; 29if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is 30the 31perseverance and the faith of the 32saints.
