13 And I saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. And upon his horns were ten crowns. And upon his head, the name of Blasphemy.

And the beast which I saw was like a leopard; and his feet like a bear; and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne, and great authority.

And I saw one of his heads (as it were) mortally wounded. But his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered and followed the beast.

And they worshipped the dragon, who gave power to the beast. And they worshipped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast!? Who is able to make war with him!?”

And there was given to him a mouth that spoke great things and blasphemies. And power was given to him lasting 42 months.

And he opened his mouth to blaspheme God; to blaspheme his Name and his Tabernacle and those who dwell in Heaven.

And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given to him over every tribe and tongue and nation.

Therefore, all who dwell upon the earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life by the Lamb, Who was slain from the beginning of the world, shall worship him.
