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.

And he bore me away into the wilderness in the Spirit. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, [the beast] full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the impurities of the fornication of the earth, and on her forehead the names inscribed, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. read more.
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;
