Empires/world powers » The beast from the sea and the beast from the earth
And I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast come 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 like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. And one of his heads [was as if] mortally wounded, and its mortal wound was healed. And all the earth wondered after the beast, read more.
and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave power to the beast, and worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who is able to make war with him? And there was given him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemy, and power was given him to continue forty-two months [three years and a half]. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those that dwell in heaven. And it was given him to make war with the saints and to conquer them, and power was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all who dwell on the earth shall worship him, [every one] whose name is not enrolled in the Lamb's book of life who was killed from the foundation of the world. If any one has an ear let him hear. If any one [leads] into captivity, he shall go into captivity; if any one kills with the sword, he shall be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints. And I saw another beast come up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercised all the power of the first beast in his presence. And he caused the earth and those that dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. And he performs great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from heaven to the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those that dwell on the earth by the miracles which it was given him to perform before the beast, telling those that dwell on the earth to make an image of the beast which had the wound with the sword and lived. And it was given him to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that all who would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he caused all, small and great, and rich and poor, and freemen and servants, to receive the mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and that no one should buy or sell unless he had the mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that has a mind count the number of the beast; for the number is man's. And his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

For you say, I am rich and have become rich and have need of nothing, and know not that you are miserable, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. I advise you to buy of me gold purified in the fire that you may be rich, and white robes that you may put on, and the shame of your nakedness not appear, and an eye-salve to anoint your eyes that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore and change your minds. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one shall hear my voice and open the door, I will enter in to him, and feast with him, and he with me. To him that conquers will I give to sit down with me on my throne, as I conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect, that they may obtain the salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. The saying is true, For if we died together we shall live together; if we endure patiently we shall reign together; if we deny him he will deny us;

But let the greater among you be as the younger, and the chief as he that serves. For which is greater, he that reclines, or he that serves? Is not he that reclines?

And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes like a flame of fire and his feet like fine brass, I know your works and love and faith and service and your patience, and your last works more than the first.

And I gave her time to change her mind, and she will not change her mind from her fornication. Behold, I will cast her on a [sick] bed, and those committing adultery with her into great affliction, unless they change their minds from her works. And her children will I kill with pestilence, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searches the minds and hearts, and I will give you each one according to your works. But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira who have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden; but what you have, hold fast till I come. And to him that conquers and keeps my works till the end, I will give power over the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and crush them like earthen vessels, as I also have received of my Father, and I will give him the star of the morning.

And when he took the book, the four cherubs and the twenty-four elders fell down before the lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which is the prayers of the saints: And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast killed and hast redeemed to God with thy blood [men] from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and hast made them a kingdom and priests, and they shall reign on the earth.
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and the word of God, and who did not worship the beast nor his image and did not receive the mark on their forehead and on their right hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years; the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; on these the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and Christ, and reign with him a thousand years.
And no curse shall be there any more. And the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him, and shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads. And there shall be no night, and they shall have no need of a lamp and light, for the Lord God shall shed light on them, and they shall reign forever and ever.

And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, and I wondered when I saw her with great wonder. And the angel said to me, Why did you wonder? I will tell you 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 from the abyss, and goes to destruction; and those who live on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, when they see the beast that he was and is not and is to come. Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits, and are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes must continue a short time. And the beast which was and is not, he also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes to destruction. And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have not yet received a kingdom, but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one will, and give their power and their authority to the beast. They shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them,??or he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful. And he said 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 shall hate the harlot, and make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and burn her with fire;
