Revelation 13:3-4
13:3 One of the beast’s
heads appeared to have been killed,
but the lethal wound had been healed.
And the whole world followed
the beast in amazement;
13:4 they worshiped the dragon because he had given ruling authority
to the beast, and they worshiped the beast too, saying: “Who is like the beast?” and “Who is able to make war against him?”
Revelation 13:11-12
13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up from the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but was speaking like a dragon.
13:12 He exercised all the ruling authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and those who inhabit it worship the first beast, the one whose lethal wound had been healed.
Revelation 13:15
13:15 The second beast
was empowered
to give life
to the image of the first beast
so that it could speak, and could cause all those who did not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
