The Beast from the Earth

Rev 13:11

Rev 13:13He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.

Rev 13:14

Rev 13:14And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform [fn]in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who *had the wound of the sword and has come to life.

Rev 13:15

Rev 13:15And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even [fn]speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

Rev 13:16

Rev 13:16And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, [fn]to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

Rev 13:17

Rev 13:17and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Rev 13:18

Rev 13:18Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is [fn]six hundred and sixty-six.
