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.
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.
