of the world.
9
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into
captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the
faith of the saints.
11
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns
like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before
him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed.
13
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven
on the earth in the sight of men,
14
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by
the means of
those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the
earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both
speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16
And
he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right
hand, or in their foreheads:
17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number
is
Six hundred threescore
and
six.
CHAPTER 14
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty
and
four
thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
2
And I heard a voice from heaven,
as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers
harping with their harps:
3
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the
four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred
and
forty
and
four
thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4
These are they which were not defiled with
women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These
were redeemed from among men,
being
the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5
And in their
mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach
unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7
Saying
with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and
worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8
And there
followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all
nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9
And the third angel followed them,
saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive
his
mark in his
forehead, or in his hand,
10
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
