Revelation

Revelation 13:5–11

⁵The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months. ⁶And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle — those who dwell in heaven.

⁷Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. ⁸And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast — all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.^a

⁹He who has an ear, let him hear:

¹⁰“If anyone is destined for captivity,

into captivity he will go;

if anyone is to die^b by the sword,

by the sword he must be killed.”^c

Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.

¹¹Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon.
