Revelation 13:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 13:1

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.
