Revelation 13:5-18

5A mouth was given to him 1speaking 2arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for 3forty-two months was given to him. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, 4those who dwell in heaven.

7It was also given to him to 5make war with the 6saints and to overcome them, and authority was given to him over 7every tribe, people, language, and nation. 8All who 8live on the earth will worship him, everyone 9whose name has not been 10written 11since the foundation of the world in the 12book of life of 13the Lamb who has been slaughtered. 914If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 1015If anyone 16is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; 17if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is 18the 19perseverance and the faith of the 20saints.

11Then 21I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had 22two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a 23dragon. 12He 24exercises all the authority of the first beast 2526in his presence. And he makes 27the earth and those who live on it 28worship the first beast, whose 29fatal wound was healed. 13He 30performs great signs, so that he even makes 31fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the presence of people. 14And he 32deceives 33those who live on the earth because of 34the signs which it was given him to perform 3536in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the 37wound 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 38speak and cause 39all who do not 40worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16And he causes all, 41the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, 42to be given a 43mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17and he decrees that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the 44mark, either 45the name of the beast or 46the number of his name. 1847Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that 48of a 49man; and his number is 50six hundred and sixty-six.
