And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beastcoming up out of the sea, havingtenhorns and sevenheads, and on his horns were tendiadems, and on his heads were blasphemousnames.
2
And the beastwhich I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouthlike the mouth of a lion. And the dragongave him his power and his throne and greatauthority.

they worshiped the dragonbecause he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wagewar with him?"

It was alsogiven to him to makewar with the saints and to overcome them, and authorityovereverytribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whosename has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.
