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

¹¹ Then I saw another animal come up out of the land. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. ¹² It exercises the full authority of the first animal on its behalf. It makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first animal, whose mortal wound had been healed. ¹³ It performs great wonders, even making fire come down from heaven to earth before men's eyes. ¹⁴ It leads the inhabitants of the earth astray by the wonders it is allowed to do on behalf of the animal, telling the inhabitants of the earth to erect a statue to the animal that bears the mark of the sword-thrust and yet lives. ¹⁵ It is also allowed to impart life to the animal's statue so that the animal's statue can speak, and to have all who do not worship the animal's statue killed. ¹⁶ And it makes everyone, high and low, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, have a mark stamped on their right hands or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ and permits no one to buy or sell anything unless he bears the mark, that is, the animal's name or the number corresponding to its name.

¹⁸ There is wisdom hidden here! Let everyone of intelligence calculate the animal's number, for it indicates a certain man; its number is 666.
