12:1A great sign was seen in Heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 12:2She was with child. She cried out, laboring and in pain, giving birth. 12:3Another sign was seen in Heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns. 12:4His tail drew one third of the stars of Heaven, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. 12:5She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 12:6The woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days. 12:7There was war in Heaven. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war. 12:8They didn't prevail, neither was a place found for him any more in Heaven. 12:9The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 12:10I heard a loud voice in Heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. 12:11They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death. 12:12Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."
12:13When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. 12:14Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 12:15The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. 12:16The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth. 12:17The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep God's commandments and hold Jesus' testimony.
13:1Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. 13:2The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 13:3One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast. 13:4They worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" 13:5A mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him. Authority to continue for forty-two months was given to him. 13:6He opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tent, those who dwell in Heaven. 13:7It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him. 13:8All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed. 13:9If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 13:10If anyone gathers into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone will kill with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
13:11I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. 13:12He exercises all the authority of the first beast before it. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13:13He did great signs, even making fire come down out of Heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 13:14He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived. 13:15It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed. 13:16He causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead; 13:17and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name. 13:18Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
