Revelation XIII

And I stood upon the sand of the sea

And saw a beast rise up out of the sea

Having seven heads and ten horns

And upon his horns ten crowns

And upon his heads the name of blasphemy

And the beast which I saw was like unto 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 power And his seat and great

authority

And I saw

one of his heads

As it were

wounded to death

And his deadly wound was healed And all the world wondered after

the beast

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power Unto the beast and

they worshipped the beast Saying who is like unto the beast Who

is able to make war with him

And there was given unto him a mouth

Speaking great things and blasphemies And power was given unto him to

continue forty

and two months

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God

To blaspheme his name and his tabernacle

And them that dwell in heaven

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints

And to overcome them

And power was given him over all

Kindreds and tongues and nations And all that dwell upon the earth

shall worship him

Whose names are not written in the book of life

Of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world If any

man have an ear

Let him hear
