Empires/world powers » The beast from the sea and the beast from the earth
Then I stood on the sand of the seashore, and I saw an animal come up out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads, and with ten diadems on its horns, and blasphemous titles on its heads. The animal I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave it his own power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have received a mortal wound, but its mortal wound had been healed. And the whole earth followed the animal in wonder, read more.
and worshiped the dragon for having given the animal his authority, and they worshiped the animal, and said, "Who is there like the animal? Who can fight with it?" It was allowed to utter great boasts and blasphemies, and to exert authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling-place, that is, those who live in heaven. It was allowed to make war on God's people and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. All the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not from the foundation of the world been written in the slain Lamb's book of life, will worship it. Let everyone who can hear listen. Whoever is destined for captivity will go into captivity; whoever kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. On this fact rests the endurance and fidelity of God's people. Then I saw another animal come up out of the land. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 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. It performs great wonders, even making fire come down from heaven to earth before men's eyes. 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. 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. 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, 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. There is wisdom hidden here! Let everyone of intelligence calculate the animal's number, for it indicates a certain man; its number is 666.

So he carried me away in a trance to a desert, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet animal all covered with blasphemous titles; it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and glittered with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She had in her hand a gold cup full of accursed things, and the impurities of her immorality. On her forehead there was written a name that was symbolic: "Mighty Babylon, mother of idolatresses and of earth's abominations." read more.
I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's people, and the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her I was perfectly amazed, but the angel said to me, "Why are you amazed? I will explain to you what the woman and the animal with seven heads and ten horns that carries her symbolize. The animal that you saw was, and is no more; it is going to come up out of the abyss, but it is to go to destruction. The inhabitants of the earth, whose names from the foundation of the world have not been written in the book of life, will be amazed when they see that the animal was, and is no more, and yet is to come. Here is a problem for a profound mind! The seven heads are seven hills, on which the woman is seated. They are also seven kings; five have fallen, one is reigning, the other has not yet come, and when he does his stay must be brief. So must it be with the animal that was, and is no more. It is also an eighth king, although it is one of the seven, and it is to go to destruction. The ten horns that you saw are also ten kings, who have not yet begun to reign, but for a single hour they receive authority as kings along with the animal. They have one purpose, they give their power and authority to the animal. They will make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb with his elect, chosen, and faithful followers with him will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. "The waters that you saw," he said to me, "on which the idolatrous woman was seated, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. The ten horns that you saw and the animal will hate the idolatrous woman and make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh and burn her up with fire.
