Rev 13:9If anyone has an ear, he had better listen!

Rev 13:10

Rev 13:10If anyone is meant for captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed by the sword, then by the sword he must be killed. This requires steadfast endurance and faith from the saints.

The Beast from the Earth

Rev 13:14
