Revelation 13:5-7

5The beast was given a mouth uttering great boasts and blasphemies. It was given authority to act for forty-two months.

6Then he opened his mouth with blasphemies against God, to slander His name and His tabernacle—that is, those dwelling in heaven.

7He was also permitted to make war against the kedoshim and overcome them, and he was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
