⁷ Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he ^(A)held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him ^(B)who lives forever, ^(C)that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; ^(D)and when the power of ^(E)the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

^14 (A)But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, ^(B)that she might fly ^(C)into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished ^(D)for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

⁴ who opposes and ^(A)exalts himself ^(B)above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits ^[a]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

⁵ And he was given ^(A)a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to ^[a]continue for ^(B)forty-two months. ⁶ Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, ^(C)His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. ⁷ It was granted to him ^(D)to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And ^(E)authority was given him over every ^[b]tribe, tongue, and nation. ⁸ All who dwell on the earth will worship him, ^(F)whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain ^(G)from the foundation of the world.

^9 (H)If anyone has an ear, let him hear. ^10 (I)He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; ^(J)he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. ^(K)Here is the ^[c]patience and the faith of the saints.

The Beast from the Earth

¹¹ Then I saw another beast ^(L)coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

⁶ Then ^(A)the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there ^(B)one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

¹¹ “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. ¹² Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

The Great Apostasy

4 Now the Spirit ^[a]expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed ^(A)to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, ^2 (B)speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience ^(C)seared with a hot iron, ³ forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
