He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels were serving him.

“When I looked closely and considered it, I saw the four-footed animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky.

When the local people saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “This man, no doubt, is a murderer. Even though he has escaped the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”

One of their very own prophets said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”

for they could not bear what was commanded: If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.

Every kind of animal, bird, reptile, and fish is tamed and has been tamed by humankind,

And I looked, and there was a pale green[fn] horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following after him. They were[fn] given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.

When they finish their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war on them, conquer them, and kill them.

And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten crowns,[fn] and on its heads were blasphemous names.[fn]

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb,[fn] but it spoke like a dragon.

It deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that it is permitted to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image[fn] of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast’s name or the number of its name.

And another, a third angel, followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

“and the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever. There is no rest[fn] day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or anyone who receives the mark of its name.

I also saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, its image,[fn] and the number of its name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God.

The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.

The fifth[fn] poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People[fn] gnawed their tongues because of their pain

Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming from the dragon’s mouth, from the beast’s mouth, and from the mouth of the false prophet.

Then he carried me away in the Spirit[fn] to a wilderness.

I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered[fn] with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

Then the angel said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast, with the seven heads and the ten horns, that carries her.

“The beast that was and is not, is itself an eighth king, but it belongs to the seven and is going to destruction.

“The ten horns you saw, and the beast, will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, devour her flesh, and burn her up with fire.

He called out in a mighty voice:

It has fallen,[fn]

Babylon the Great has fallen!

She has become a home for demons,

a haunt for every unclean spirit,

a haunt for every unclean bird,

and a haunt[fn] for every unclean and despicable beast.[fn]

Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and against his army.

Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
