Revelation 13:1-8 ESV ...And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. (2) And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. (3) One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. (4) And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?" (5) And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. (6) It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. (7) Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, (8) and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. (Note on what "I believe" [examine it cautiously - listen to and trust only Christ to define "your" beliefs]: The birth of the kingdom of Christ, which "I believe" happened with the creation of the Garden of Eden, and is now being revealed as the Kingdom of Christ destroys the counterfeit kingdoms of this world, (Rev 11:15) is a single 6000 year process by God and is the "founding of the world.")
Revelation 13:1-8 GW ...[12:18] The serpent stood on the sandy shore of the sea. 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. (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. (Note on what "I believe" [examine it cautiously - listen to and trust only Christ for "your" beliefs]: The birth of the kingdom of Christ, which "I believe" happened with the creation of the Garden of Eden, and is now being revealed as the Kingdom of Christ destroys the kingdoms of this world, (Rev 11:15) is a single 6000 year process by God and is the "founding of the world.")
Revelation 13:1-8 GNB ...(12:18) (And the dragon stood on the seashore.) 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. (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 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. (Note on what "I believe" [examine it cautiously - listen to and trust only Christ for "your" beliefs]: The birth of the kingdom of Christ, which "I believe" happened with the creation of the Garden of Eden, and is now being revealed as the Kingdom of Christ destroys the kingdoms of this world, (Rev 11:15) is a single 6000 year process by God and is the "founding of the world.")
Revelation 13:1-8 NWT ...13 And it stood still upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names. 2 Now the wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave to [the beast] its power and its throne and great authority. 3 And I saw one of its heads as though slaughtered to death, but its death-stroke got healed, and all the earth followed the wild beast with admiration. 4 And they worshiped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshiped the wild beast with the words: “Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?” 5 And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given it, and authority to act forty-two months was given it. 6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his residence, even those residing in heaven. 7 And there was granted it to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world. (Note on what "I believe" [examine it cautiously - listen to and trust only Christ for "your" beliefs]: The birth of the kingdom of Christ, which "I believe" happened with the creation of the Garden of Eden, and is now being revealed as the Kingdom of Christ destroys the kingdoms of this world, (Rev 11:15) is a single 6000 year process by God and is the "founding of the world.")
