Empires/world powers » The beast from the sea and the beast from the earth
Then I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads, and ten horns; upon his horns were ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. and the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. and I saw one of his heads, as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world went wondring after the beast. read more.
They worshipped the dragon which had given his power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, "who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" there was given to him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemy; and power was given to him for two and forty months. and he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and those that dwell in heaven, he was permitted to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all the tribes, and provinces, and nations. all that dwell upon the earth will worship him, whose names are not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the lamb, that was slain. if any man have an ear, let him hear. he hath leadeth into captivity, shall be led into captivity: he that killeth with the sword, shall perish by the sword. here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Then I beheld another beast coming out of the earth, it had two horns like a lamb, but it spake like a dragon. he exercised all the power of the first beast by his authority, and caused the earth, and those who dwell therein, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. he perform'd great wonders, so as to make fire come down from heaven on the earth, in the sight of men. and he deceived the inhabitants of the earth, by the prodigys which he had power to effect by the influence of the beast, by telling the inhabitants of the earth, that he had made an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, but yet did revive. he had power likewise to animate the image made for the beast, so that the image was made to speak, and as many as would not worship the image were order'd to be killed. he likewise obliged all, both small and great, rich and poor, the freeman and the slave, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and order'd, that no body should buy or sell unless he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. here is wisdom. let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred sixty six.

and I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondred with great admiration. and the angel said to me, wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystical meaning of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. the beast that thou sawest, was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, shall wonder when they behold the beast that was, and is not, but shall be. the meaning is very comprehensive. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. they likewise signify seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; when he comes, he will continue but a short space. the beast that was, and is not, is himself the eighth: he is of the seven, and shall be destroy'd. the ten horns which you saw, are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings for a while with the beast. they all agree in this, to give their power and strength to the beast. they will make war with the lamb, but the lamb, who is lord of lords, and king of kings, together with those that are called, chosen, and faithful, shall overcome them. Then he said to me, the waters which you saw, where the prostitute has her seat, are the people, the multitude, nations, and provinces. the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, they shall hate the whore, they shall plunder, and strip her, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
