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.

10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies(A) and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.(B) It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.(C) It was given power to wage war(D) against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.(E) All inhabitants of the earth(F) will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life,(G) the Lamb(H) who was slain from the creation of the world.[a](I)

Whoever has ears, let them hear.(J)

10 “If anyone is to go into captivity,
    into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[b] with the sword,
    with the sword they will be killed.”[c](K)

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness(L) on the part of God’s people.(M)

The Beast out of the Earth

11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth.(N) It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.(O) 12 It exercised all the authority(P) of the first beast on its behalf,(Q) and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast,(R) whose fatal wound had been healed.(S) 13 And it performed great signs,(T) even causing fire to come down from heaven(U) to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs(V) it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived(W) the inhabitants of the earth.(X) It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.(Y) 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship(Z) the image to be killed.(AA) 16 It also forced all people, great and small,(AB) rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,(AC) 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark,(AD) which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.(AE)

18 This calls for wisdom.(AF) Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[d](AG) That number is 666.
