Compare all
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.  
9 aIf anyone has an ear, let him hear.  
10 aHe who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; bhe who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. cHere is the patience and the faith of the saints.  

The Beast from the Earth

11 Then I saw another beast acoming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.  
12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, awhose deadly wound was healed.  
13 aHe performs great signs, bso that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

Revelation 13:10

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity - The Latin empire here spoken of must go into captivity, because it has led into captivity, by not only propagating among the various nations its abominable antichristian system, but also in compelling them to embrace it under the penalty of forfeiting the protection of the empire.

He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword - The Latin empire must be also broken to pieces by the sword, because it has killed the saints of God. This prophecy will not receive its full accomplishment till the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ.

Here is the patience and the faith of the saints - By these words, as Dr. Mitchell observes, "God calls upon his saints to keep in view, under all their persecutions, his retributive justice; there is no violence that has been exercised upon them but what shall be retaliated upon the cruel and persecuting government and governors of the Latin empire."
