Revelation 13:4-18

4they worshiped the 1dragon because he 2gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “3Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” 5There was given to him a mouth 4speaking 5arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for 6forty-two months was given to him. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, 7those who 8dwell in heaven.

7It was also given to him to 9make war with the 10saints and to overcome them, and authority over 11every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. 8All who 12dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone 13whose name has not been 14written 15from the foundation of the world in the 16book of life of 17the Lamb who has been slain. 918If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 1019If anyone 20is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; 21if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is 22the 23perseverance and the faith of the 24saints.

11Then 25I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had 26two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a 27dragon. 12He 28exercises all the authority of the first beast 2930in his presence. And he makes 31the earth and those who dwell in it to 32worship the first beast, whose 33fatal wound was healed. 13He 34performs great signs, so that he even makes 35fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14And he 36deceives 37those who dwell on the earth because of 38the signs which it was given him to perform 3940in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the 41wound of the sword and has come to life. 15And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even 42speak and cause 43as many as do not 44worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16And he causes all, 45the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, 46to be given a 47mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the 48mark, either 49the name of the beast or 50the number of his name. 1851Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that 52of a man; and his number is 53six hundred and sixty-six.
