REVELATION 13:5-7
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and
to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to
blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those
who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy
people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe,
people, language and nation.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-4
1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered
to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled
or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us - whether by a prophecy or
by word of mouth or by letter - asserting that the day of the Lord has
already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day
will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is
revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt
himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets
himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

REVELATION 13:8

8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast, - all whose names
have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was
slain from the creation of the world.

REVELATION 13:11-14
11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns
like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of
the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants
worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it
performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to
the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given
power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants
of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who
was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

REVELATION 13:15-18
15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the
first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to
worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and
small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right
hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless
they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its
name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate
the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is
666.

REVELATION 17:1-4
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me,
“Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits
by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery,
and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her
adulteries.” 3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a
wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was
covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with
gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled
with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.

REVELATION 17:5-8
5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery: BABYLON THE
GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 I saw that the woman was drunk
with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore
testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7 Then the
angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the
mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven
heads and ten horns. 8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not,
and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction.

REVELATION 17:8-11
The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the
book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they
see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come. 9 “This
calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which
the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the
other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only
a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth
king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

REVELATION 17:12-15
12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a
kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with
the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and
authority to the beast. 14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the
Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of
kings - and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute
sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

REVELATION 17:16-18
16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will
bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her
with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose
by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s
words are fulfilled. 18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over
the kings of the earth.”
