The Beast from the Sea

1 Then1 I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw aa beast rising up out of the sea, bhaving seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a cblasphemous name.  
2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The adragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.  
3 And I saw one of his heads aas if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And ball the world marveled and followed the beast.  
4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, a“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”  
5 And he was given aa mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to1 continue for bforty-two months.  
6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, aHis tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.  
7 It was granted to him ato make war with the saints and to overcome them. And bauthority was given him over every1 tribe, tongue, and nation.  
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, awhose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain bfrom the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:3

Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard. It was a composite beast which united the characteristics of the beasts seen by Daniel in his vision (Daniel 7:1-6). The animals combined are all cruel, terrible beasts of prey; a terror to man. And the dragon gave him his power. That is, this beast was called forth to do the dragon's work, and acted by the dragon's authority.
