Revelation 13:11-16

11Then I saw another beast coming up from the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but was speaking like a dragon.

12He exercised all the ruling authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and those who inhabit it worship the first beast, the one whose lethal wound had been healed.

13He performed momentous signs, even making fire come down from heaven in front of people

14and, by the signs he was permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, he deceived those who live on the earth. He told those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword, but still lived.

15The second beast was empowered to give life to the image of the first beast so that it could speak, and could cause all those who did not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16He also caused everyone (small and great, rich and poor, free and slave) to obtain a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.
