And I saw note a beast
coming up out of the
-- --
sea, having seven heads and
ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads names of blasphemy.
2 And the beast, which
I saw, was like to 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
own strength, and great
power.
3 And I saw note one of
his heads as it were wounded
to death; and his death's
wound was healed: and all
the earth was in admiration
after the beast.
4 And they adored the
dragon, which gave power to
the beast: and they adored
the beast, saying: Who is
like to the beast? and who
shall be able to fight with it.
5 And there was given to
it a mouth, speaking great
things, and blasphemies:
and power was given to it
to do for two and forty
months.
6 And he opened his
mouth to blasphemies against
God, to blaspheme his name,
and note his tabernacle, and
them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given to him
to make war with the saints,
and to overcome them: and
power was given him over
every tribe, and people, and
tongue, and nation.
8 And all that dwell upon
the earth, adored him:
whose names are not written
in the book of life of the
Lamb, which was note slain
from the beginning of the
world.
9 If any man have an
ear, let him hear.
10 He that shall lead into
captivity, shall go into
captivity: he that shall kill
-- --
by the sword, must be killed
by the sword. Here is the
patience and the faith of the
saints.
11 And I saw note another
beast coming up out of the
earth, and he had two horns,
like a lamb, and he spoke as
a dragon.
12 And he executed all the
power of the former beast in
his sight: and he caused the
earth, and them that dwell
therein, to adore the first beast,
whose wound to death was
healed.
13 And he did great signs,
so that he made also fire to
come down from heaven unto
the earth in the sight of men.
14 And he seduced them
that dwell on the earth, for the
signs, which were given him
to do in the sight of the beast,
saying to them that dwell on
the earth, that they should
make the image of the beast,
which had the wound by the
sword, and lived.
15 And it was given him
to give life to the image of
the beast, and that the image
of the beast should speak: and
should cause, that whosoever
will not adore the image of
the beast, should be slain.
16 And he shall make all,
both little and great, rich and
poor, freemen and bondmen,
to have a mark in their right
hand, or on their foreheads.
17 And that no man might
buy or sell, but he that hath
the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his
name.
18 Here is wisdom. He
that hath understanding, let
him count the number of the
beast. For it is the number
of a man: and the number of
him is note six hundred sixty
six.
