Empires/world powers » The beast from the sea and the beast from the earth
And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads; and upon his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of lions: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it had been smitten unto death; and the wound of his death was healed. And the whole earth wondered after the beast: read more.
and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying; Who is like the beast? and who is able to make war with him? and a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies; and authority was given unto him to prevail forty-two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, those dwelling in the heaven. And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them: and authority was given unto him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation. And all those who dwell upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him. if any one has ears, let him hear. If any one leads into captivity he goes into captivity: if any one kills with a sword, it behooves him to be killed with a sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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.

Government » Who shall reign with the lord
And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, says these things; I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were either cold or hot. Thus because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spew you out of my mouth. read more.
Because you are saying, That I am rich, and have increased in riches, and have need as to nothing, and do you not know that you are miserable, and pitiful, and poor, and blind, and naked? I counsel you to buy from me gold which has been purified by the fire, in order that you may be rich; and white garments, in order that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not be exposed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. So many as I love, I rebuke and chastise; be zealous, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and am knocking: if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me. The one conquering, I will give unto him to sit with me on my throne, as I indeed have conquered, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

On account of this I endure all things for the sake of the elect, in order that they may also have the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful saying: For if we die along with him, we will also live with him: if we endure, we will truly reign with him: if we shall deny him, he will also deny us:
Indeed the Son of man goes, according to that which has been appointed: but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! And they began to inquire among themselves, who then of them is the one of them about to do this. And there was a contention among them, which one of them seems to be the greater, read more.
And He said to them, The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those exercising authority over them are called Benefactors. But you are not thus: but let the greater among you be as the younger; and the leader as the waiter. For which is the greater, he that sitteth at the table, or the waiter? is not the one sitting? but I am in the midst of you as the waiter. But you are those who have remained with me in my temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father appointed unto me, in order that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you shall sit upon thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And to the angel of the church among the Thyatireans write; The Son of God, the one having eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like burnished brass, says these things; I know your works, and your divine love, and faith, and ministry, and patience, and your works: the last more than the first. But I have it against you, that you suffer the woman Jezebel, who says herself to be a prophet, and teaches and deceives my servants to commit fornication, and to cat things sacrificed to idols. read more.
And I gave her time that she might repent, and she does not wish to repent of her fornication. Behold, I cast her on a bed, and those who commit fornication along with her into great tribulation, until they shall repent of her works. And I will slay her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am the one searching the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you each according to your works. But I say to you, the rest who are among the Thyatireans, so many as have not this teaching, whosoever have not known the depth of Satan, as they say; I cast upon you no other burden. Moreover hold fast that which you have, until I shall come. And the one conquering and holding my works until the end, I will give unto him authority over the nations: and he will shepherdize them with an iron rod: as the potter's vessels are broken to pieces; as I have received of my Father: and I will give unto him the morning star.

And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each a harp, and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to receive the book, and to open its seals: because thou wast slain, and didst with thy blood redeem unto God out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; and didst make them a kingdom and priests unto our God: and they shall reign on the earth.
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God, who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and they did not receive his mark on their forehead, and on their hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years were fulfilled. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one having part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no authority, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
And there shall be no more curse. And the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: and they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. And there shall be no more night; and they have no need of the light of a candle, nor the light of the sun; because the Lord God shines on them: and they shall reign until the ages of the ages.

And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and seeing her, I was astonished with great astonishment. And the angel said to me, Wherefore wast thou astonished? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast which carries her, having the seven heads and ten horns. The beast which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and go into perdition: and those dwelling upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, seeing the beast, because he was, and is not, and will be. Here is a mind having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits upon them, and there are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, and another is not yet come; and when he may come it behooves him to remain a little while. The beast which was, and is not, and the same is the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going into perdition. And the ten horns which you saw, are ten kings, who live not yet received a kingdom; but they receive authority as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them, because he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings: and with him are the called, and the elect, and the faithful. And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which you saw and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire;
