Revelation 13:1-6
1And the Dragon stood on the shore of the sea. I saw a Beast rising from the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads--on each horn a crown, and each head inscribed with a blasphemous name.a
2The Beast I saw looked like a leopard with bear paws and a lion''s mouth. The Dragon turned over its power to it, its throne and great authority.
3One of the Beast''s heads looked as if it had been struck a deathblow, and then healed. The whole earth was agog, gaping at the Beast.
4They worshiped the Dragon who gave the Beast authority, and they worshiped the Beast, exclaiming, "There''s never been anything like the Beast! No one would dare go to war with the Beast!"
5The Beast had a loud mouth, boastful and blasphemous. It could do anything it wanted for forty-two months.b
6It yelled blasphemies against God, blasphemed his Name, blasphemed his Church, especially those already dwelling with God in Heaven.
