Revelation 13:1-10 GNB . . .(12:18) (And the dragon stood on the seashore.) (1) Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads; on each of its horns there was a crown, and on each of its heads there was a name that was insulting to God. [Not Christian but Muslim or Jew or Catholic or Baptist or Lutheran or Jehovah's Witness or Methodist or... (Acts 11:26)] (2) The beast looked like a leopard, with feet like a bear's feet and a mouth like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave the beast his own power, his throne, and his vast authority. (3) One of the heads of the beast seemed to have been fatally wounded, but the wound had healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast. (4) Everyone worshiped the dragon because he had given his authority to the beast. They worshiped the beast also, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who can fight against it?" (5) The beast was allowed to make proud claims which were insulting to God, and it was permitted to have authority for forty-two months. (6) It began to curse God, his name, the place where he lives, and all those who live in heaven. (7) It was allowed to fight against God's people [righteously inclined people] and to defeat them, and it was given authority over every tribe, nation, language, and race. (8) All people living on earth will worship it, except those whose names were written before the creation of the world in the book of the living which belongs to the Lamb that was killed. (9) "Listen, then, if you have ears! (10) Whoever is meant to be captured will surely be captured; whoever is meant to be killed by the sword will surely be killed by the sword. This calls for endurance and faith on the part of God's people."
Revelation 13:1-10 CEV . . .(12:18) (The dragon stood on the beach beside the sea.) (1) I looked and saw a beast coming up from the sea. This one had ten horns and seven heads, and a crown was on each of its ten horns. On each of its heads were names that were an insult to God. [Not Christian but Muslim or Jew or Catholic or Baptist or Lutheran or Jehovah's Witness or Methodist or... (Acts 11:26)] (2) The beast that I saw had the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, and the mouth of a lion. The dragon handed over its own power and throne and great authority to this beast. (3) One of its heads seemed to have been fatally wounded, but now it was well. Everyone on earth marveled at this beast, (4) and they worshiped the dragon who had given its authority to the beast. They also worshiped the beast and said, "No one is like this beast! No one can fight against it." (5) The beast was allowed to brag and claim to be God, and for forty-two months it was allowed to rule. (6) The beast cursed God, and it cursed the name of God. It even cursed the place where God lives, as well as everyone who lives in heaven with God. (7) It was allowed to fight against God's people and defeat them. It was also given authority over the people of every tribe, nation, language, and race. (8) The beast was worshiped by everyone whose name wasn't written before the time of creation in the book of the Lamb who was killed. (9) If you have ears, then listen! (10) If you are doomed to be captured, you will be captured. If you are doomed to be killed by a sword, you will be killed by a sword. This means that God's people must learn to endure and be faithful!
Revelation 13:1-10 GW . . .[12:18] The serpent stood on the sandy shore of the sea. (1) I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns, seven heads, and ten crowns on its horns. There were insulting names on its heads. [Not Christian but Muslim or Jew or Catholic or Baptist or Lutheran or Jehovah's Witness or Methodist or... (Acts 11:26)] (2) The beast that I saw was like a leopard. Its feet were like bear's feet. Its mouth was like a lion's mouth. The serpent gave its power, kingdom, and far-reaching authority to the beast. (3) One of the beast's heads looked like it had a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed. All the people of the world were amazed and followed the beast. (4) They worshiped the serpent because it had given authority to the beast. They also worshiped the beast and said, "Who is like the beast? Who can fight a war with it?" (5) The beast was allowed to speak arrogant and insulting things. It was given authority to act for 42 months. (6) It opened its mouth to insult God, to insult his name and his tent-those who are living in heaven. (7) It was allowed to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. It was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. (8) Everyone living on earth will worship it, everyone whose name is not written in the Book of Life. That book belongs to the lamb who was slaughtered before the creation of the world. (9) If anyone has ears, let him listen: (10) If anyone is taken prisoner, he must go to prison. If anyone is killed with a sword, with a sword he must be killed. In this situation God's holy people need endurance and confidence.
