And
I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast
rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
|
2 |
And
the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,
and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
and the dragon gave him his power,
and his seat, and great authority. |
3 |
And
I saw one of his heads
as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after
the beast. |
4 |
And
they worshipped
the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying,
Who is like unto
the beast? who is able to make war with him? |
5 |
And
there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. |
6 |
And
he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle,
and them that dwell in heaven. |
7 |
And
it was given unto him to make war with the saints,
and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues,
and nations. |
8 |
And
all that dwell
upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book
of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation
of the world. |
9 |
If
any man have an
ear, let him hear. |
10 |
He
that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the
sword must be killed
with the sword. Here is the patience
and the faith of the saints. |
11 |
And
I beheld another
beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns
like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. |
12 |
And
he exerciseth all the power
of the first beast before him, and causeth
the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed.
|
13 |
And
he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire
come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, |
14 |
And
deceiveth them
that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to
do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they
should make an image
to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. |
15 |
And
he had power to give
life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both
speak, and cause
that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. |
16 |
And
he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive
a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads: |
17 |
And
that no man might buy
or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name
of the beast, or the number of his name. |
18 |
Here
is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for
it is the number
of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. |
