Revelation 13:1-9

1And the dragon stood on the sand of the 1seashore.

Then I saw a 2beast coming up out of the sea, having 3ten horns and 4seven heads, and on his horns were 5ten crowns, and on his heads were 6blasphemous names. 2And the beast that I saw was 7like a leopard, and his feet were like those of 8a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of 9a lion. And the 10dragon gave him his power and his 11throne, and great authority. 3I saw one of his heads as if it had been 12fatally wounded, and his 13fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth 14was amazed and followed after the beast; 4they worshiped the 15dragon because he 16gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “17Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” 5A mouth was given to him 18speaking 19arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for 20forty-two months was given to him. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, 21those who dwell in heaven.

7It was also given to him to 22make war with the 23saints and to overcome them, and authority was given to him over 24every tribe, people, language, and nation. 8All who 25live on the earth will worship him, everyone 26whose name has not been 27written 28since the foundation of the world in the 29book of life of 30the Lamb who has been slaughtered. 9 31If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
