Revelation 13:11-18 - The Second Beast From The Earth

¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he continued to speak as the dragon. ¹² And he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him. And he makes the earth and those dwelling in it, that they shall worship the first beast, whose wound of his death was healed. ¹³ And he performs great signs, so that he can indeed make fire descend out of the heaven to the earth in presence of the people. ¹⁴ And he deceives those dwelling upon the earth through the signs which it was given unto him to perform in the presence of the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who had the wound of the sword, and did live. ¹⁵ And it was given unto him to give spirit to the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast may indeed speak, and he may cause so many as will not worship the image of the beast that they should be killed. ¹⁶ And he causes all, small and great, both rich and poor, both free and bond, that they may give them a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead: ¹⁷ that no one may be able to buy or sell, except the one having the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let the one having understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man. And his is, Six hundred and sixty-six.
