013:005 And there was given him a mouth full of boastful and
blasphemous words; and liberty of action was granted him
for forty-two months.
013:006 And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemies against God,
to speak evil of His name and of His dwelling-place—
that is to say, of those who dwell in Heaven.
013:007 And permission was given him to make war upon God's people
and conquer them; and power was given him over every tribe,
people, language and nation.
013:008 And all the inhabitants of the earth will be found to be worshipping him: every one whose name is not recorded in the Book of Life—the Book of the Lamb who has been offered in sacrifice ever since the creation of the world.
013:009 Let all who have ears give heed.
013:010 If any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.
013:011 Then I saw another Wild Beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
013:012 And the authority of the first Wild Beast—the whole of that authority—he exercises in his presence, and he causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Wild Beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
013:013 He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.
013:014 And his power of leading astray the inhabitants of the earth is due to the marvels which he has been permitted to work in the presence of the Wild Beast. And he told the inhabitants of the earth to erect a statue to the Wild Beast who had received the sword-stroke and yet had recovered.
