¹Then 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.

KJVAnd^G2532 I stood^G2476^(G5681) upon^G1909 the sand^G285 of the sea^G2281, and^G2532 saw^G1492^(G5627) a beast^G2342 rise up^G305^(G5723) out of^G1537 the sea^G2281, having^G2192^(G5723) seven^G2033 heads^G2776 and^G2532 ten^G1176 horns^G2768, and^G2532 upon^G1909 his^G846 horns^G2768 ten^G1176 crowns^G1238, and^G2532 upon^G1909 his^G846 heads^G2776 the name^G3686 of blasphemy^G988.

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.

KJVAnd^G2532 the beast^G2342 which^G3739 I saw^G1492^(G5627) was^G2258^(G5713) like^G3664 unto a leopard^G3917, and^G2532 his^G846 feet^G4228 were as^G5613 the feet of a bear^G715, and^G2532 his^G846 mouth^G4750 as^G5613 the mouth^G4750 of a lion^G3023: and^G2532 the dragon^G1404 gave^G1325^(G5656) him^G846 his^G846 power^G1411, and^G2532 his^G846 seat^G2362, and^G2532 great^G3173 authority^G1849.

³ One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.

KJVAnd^G2532 I saw^G1492^(G5627) one^G3391 of his^G846 heads^G2776 as it were^G5613 wounded^G4969^(G5772) to^G1519 death^G2288; and^G2532 his^G846 deadly^G2288 wound^G4127 was healed^G2323^(G5681): and^G2532 all^G3650 the world^G1093 wondered^G2296^(G5681)^(G5625)^G2296^(G5656) after^G3694^G1722 the beast^G2342.

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?”

KJVAnd^G2532 they worshipped^G4352^(G5656) the dragon^G1404 which^G3739 gave^G1325^(G5656) power^G1849 unto the beast^G2342: and^G2532 they worshipped^G4352^(G5656) the beast^G2342, saying^G3004^(G5723), Who^G5101 is like^G3664 unto the beast^G2342? who^G5101 is able^G1410^(G5736) to make war^G4170^(G5658) with^G3326 him^G846?

⁵ A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

KJVAnd^G2532 there was given^G1325^(G5681) unto him^G846 a mouth^G4750 speaking^G2980^(G5723) great things^G3173 and^G2532 blasphemies^G988; and^G2532 power^G1849 was given^G1325^(G5681) unto him^G846 to continue^G4160^(G5658) forty^G5062 and two^G1417 months^G3376.

⁶ He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.

KJVAnd^G2532 he opened^G455^(G5656) his^G846 mouth^G4750 in^G1519 blasphemy^G988 against^G4314 God^G2316, to blaspheme^G987^(G5658) his^G846 name^G3686, and^G2532 his^G846 tabernacle^G4633, and^G2532 them that dwell^G4637^(G5723) in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

⁷ It was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.

KJVAnd^G2532 it was given^G1325^(G5681) unto him^G846 to make^G4160^(G5658) war^G4171 with^G3326 the saints^G40, and^G2532 to overcome^G3528^(G5658) them^G846: and^G2532 power^G1849 was given^G1325^(G5681) him^G846 over^G1909 all^G3956 kindreds^G5443, and^G2532 tongues^G1100, and^G2532 nations^G1484.

⁸ All who dwell on the earth 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.

KJVAnd^G2532 all^G3956 that dwell^G2730^(G5723) upon^G1909 the earth^G1093 shall worship^G4352^(G5692) him^G846, whose^G3739 names^G3686 are^G1125 not^G3756 written^G1125^(G5769) in^G1722 the book^G976 of life^G2222 of the Lamb^G721 slain^G4969^(G5772) from^G575 the foundation^G2602 of the world^G2889.

⁹ If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

KJVIf any man^G1536 have^G2192^(G5719) an ear^G3775, let him hear^G191^(G5657).

¹⁰ If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

KJVHe that^G1536 leadeth^G4863^(G5719) into captivity^G161 shall go^G5217^(G5719) into^G1519 captivity^G161: he that^G1536 killeth^G615^(G5719) with^G1722 the sword^G3162 must^G1163^(G5748) be killed^G615^(G5683) with^G1722 the sword^G3162. Here^G5602 is^G2076^(G5748) the patience^G5281 and^G2532 the faith^G4102 of the saints^G40.

¹¹ I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

KJVAnd^G2532 I beheld^G1492^(G5627) another^G243 beast^G2342 coming up^G305^(G5723) out of^G1537 the earth^G1093; and^G2532 he had^G2192^(G5707) two^G1417 horns^G2768 like^G3664 a lamb^G721, and^G2532 he spake^G2980^(G5707) as^G5613 a dragon^G1404.

¹² He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

KJVAnd^G2532 he exerciseth^G4160^(G5719) all^G3956 the power^G1849 of the first^G4413 beast^G2342 before^G1799 him^G846, and^G2532 causeth^G4160^(G5719) the earth^G1093 and^G2532 them which dwell^G2730^(G5723) therein^G1722^G846 to^G2443 worship^G4352^(G5661) the first^G4413 beast^G2342, whose^G3739^G846 deadly^G2288 wound^G4127 was healed^G2323^(G5681).

¹³ He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.

KJVAnd^G2532 he doeth^G4160^(G5719) great^G3173 wonders^G4592, so^G2532 that^G2443 he maketh^G4160^(G5725) fire^G4442 come down^G2597^(G5721) from^G1537 heaven^G3772 on^G1519 the earth^G1093 in the sight^G1799 of men^G444,

¹⁴ He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

KJVAnd^G2532 deceiveth^G4105^(G5719) them that dwell^G2730^(G5723) on^G1909 the earth^G1093 by^G1223 the means of those miracles^G4592 which^G3739 he^G846 had power^G1325^(G5681) to do^G4160^(G5658) in the sight^G1799 of the beast^G2342; saying^G3004^(G5723) to them that dwell^G2730^(G5723) on^G1909 the earth^G1093, that they should make^G4160^(G5658) an image^G1504 to the beast^G2342, which^G3739 had^G2192^(G5719) the wound^G4127 by a sword^G3162, and^G2532 did live^G2198^(G5656).

¹⁵ It was given to him to give breath 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.

KJVAnd^G2532 he^G846 had power^G1325^(G5681) to give^G1325^(G5629) life^G4151 unto the image^G1504 of the beast^G2342, that^G2443 the image^G1504 of the beast^G2342 should^G2980 both^G2532 speak^G2980^(G5661), and^G2532 cause^G4160^(G5661) that as many as^G3745 would^G302^G4352 not^G3361 worship^G4352^(G5661) the image^G1504 of the beast^G2342 should be killed^G2443^G615^(G5686).

¹⁶ He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads;

KJVAnd^G2532 he causeth^G4160^(G5719) all^G3956, both small^G3398 and^G2532 great^G3173,^G2532 rich^G4145 and^G2532 poor^G4434,^G2532 free^G1658 and^G2532 bond^G1401, to^G2443^G846 receive^G1325^(G5661) a mark^G5480 in^G1909 their^G846 right hand^G1188^G5495, or^G2228 in^G1909 their^G846 foreheads^G3359:

¹⁷ and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

KJVAnd^G2532 that no^G3363 man^G5100 might^G1410^(G5741) buy^G59^(G5658) or^G2228 sell^G4453^(G5658), save he^G1508 that had^G2192^(G5723) the mark^G5480, or^G2228 the name^G3686 of the beast^G2342, or^G2228 the number^G706 of his^G846 name^G3686.

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.

KJVHere^G5602 is^G2076^(G5748) wisdom^G4678. Let him that hath^G2192^(G5723) understanding^G3563 count^G5585^(G5657) the number^G706 of the beast^G2342: for^G1063 it is^G2076^(G5748) the number^G706 of a man^G444; and^G2532 his^G846 number^G706 is Six hundred threescore and six^G5516.

⁴ His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.

KJVAnd^G2532 his^G846 tail^G3769 drew^G4951^(G5719) the third part^G5154 of the stars^G792 of heaven^G3772, and^G2532 did cast^G906^(G5627) them^G846 to^G1519 the earth^G1093: and^G2532 the dragon^G1404 stood^G2476^(G5707) before^G1799 the woman^G1135 which^G3588 was ready^G3195^(G5723) to be delivered^G5088^(G5629), for^G2443 to devour^G2719^(G5632) her^G846 child^G5043 as soon as^G3752 it was born^G5088^(G5632).

⁸ They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.

KJVAnd^G2532 prevailed^G2480^(G5656) not^G3756; neither^G3777 was^G2147 their^G846 place^G5117 found^G2147^(G5681) any more^G2089 in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

KJVAnd^G2532 I heard^G191^(G5656) a loud^G3173 voice^G5456 saying^G3004^(G5723) in^G1722 heaven^G3772, Now^G737 is come^G1096^(G5633) salvation^G4991, and^G2532 strength^G1411, and^G2532 the kingdom^G932 of our^G2257 God^G2316, and^G2532 the power^G1849 of his^G846 Christ^G5547: for^G3754 the accuser^G2723^(G5723) of our^G2257 brethren^G80 is cast down^G2598^(G5681), which^G3588 accused^G2725 them^G846 before^G1799 our^G2257 God^G2316 day^G2250 and^G2532 night^G3571.

¹¹ They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.

KJVAnd^G2532 they^G846 overcame^G3528^(G5656) him^G846 by^G1223 the blood^G129 of the Lamb^G721, and^G2532 by^G1223 the word^G3056 of their^G846 testimony^G3141; and^G2532 they loved^G25^(G5656) not^G3756 their^G846 lives^G5590 unto^G891 the death^G2288.

¹² Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 rejoice^G2165^(G5744), ye heavens^G3772, and^G2532 ye that dwell^G4637^(G5723) in^G1722 them^G846. Woe^G3759 to the inhabiters^G2730^(G5723) of the earth^G1093 and^G2532 of the sea^G2281! for^G3754 the devil^G1228 is come down^G2597^(G5627) unto^G4314 you^G5209, having^G2192^(G5723) great^G3173 wrath^G2372, because he knoweth^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 he hath^G2192^(G5719) but a short^G3641 time^G2540.

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3753 the dragon^G1404 saw^G1492^(G5627) that^G3754 he was cast^G906^(G5681) unto^G1519 the earth^G1093, he persecuted^G1377^(G5656) the woman^G1135 which^G3748 brought forth^G5088^(G5627) the man^G730 child.

¹⁴ Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

KJVAnd^G2532 to the woman^G1135 were given^G1325^(G5681) two^G1417 wings^G4420 of a great^G3173 eagle^G105, that^G2443 she might fly^G4072^(G5741) into^G1519 the wilderness^G2048, into^G1519 her^G846 place^G5117, where^G3699 she is nourished^G5142^(G5743) for a time^G1563^G2540, and^G2532 times^G2540, and^G2532 half^G2255 a time^G2540, from^G575 the face^G4383 of the serpent^G3789.

¹⁵ The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.

KJVAnd^G2532 the serpent^G3789 cast^G906^(G5627) out of^G1537 his^G846 mouth^G4750 water^G5204 as^G5613 a flood^G4215 after^G3694 the woman^G1135, that^G2443 he might cause^G4160^(G5661) her^G5026 to be carried away of the flood^G4216.

KJVAnd^G2532 the earth^G1093 helped^G997^(G5656) the woman^G1135, and^G2532 the earth^G1093 opened^G455^(G5656) her^G846 mouth^G4750, and^G2532 swallowed up^G2666^(G5627) the flood^G4215 which^G3739 the dragon^G1404 cast^G906^(G5627) out of^G1537 his^G846 mouth^G4750.

¹⁷ The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.

KJVAnd^G2532 the dragon^G1404 was wroth^G3710^(G5681) with^G1909 the woman^G1135, and^G2532 went^G565^(G5627) to make^G4160^(G5658) war^G4171 with^G3326 the remnant^G3062 of her^G846 seed^G4690, which^G3588 keep^G5083^(G5723) the commandments^G1785 of God^G2316, and^G2532 have^G2192^(G5723) the testimony^G3141 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.
