The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 13
{13:1} Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up
out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were
ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. {13:2} The beast
which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a
bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his
power, his throne, and great authority. {13:3} One of his heads looked
like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the
whole [1>]eretz[<1] marveled at the beast. {13:4} They worshiped the
dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped
the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war
with him?" {13:5} A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was
given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to
him. {13:6} He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to
blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
{13:7} It was given to him to make war with the holy ones, and to
overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and
nation was given to him. {13:8} All who dwell on the [2>]eretz[<2]
will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the
foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been
killed. {13:9} If anyone has an ear, let him hear. {13:10} If anyone
has captivity, he goes away. If anyone is with the sword, he must be
killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the holy ones.
{13:11} I saw another beast coming up out of the [3>]eretz[<3]. He
had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. {13:12} He
exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He
makes the [4>]eretz[<4] and those who dwell in it to worship the first
beast, whose fatal wound was healed. {13:13} He performs great signs,
even making fire come down out of the sky on the [5>]eretz[<5] in the
sight of men. {13:14} He deceives my own people who dwell on the
[6>]eretz[<6] because of the signs which it was given to him to do in
front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the [7>]eretz[<7],
that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound
and lived. {13:15} It was given to him to give breath to it, to the
image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and
cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed.
{13:16} He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor,
and the free and the slave, so that they should give them marks on
their right hand, or on their forehead; {13:17} and that no one would
be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the
beast or the number of his name. {13:18} Here is wisdom. He who has
understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is
the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
