I saw the beast which looked like a leopard and he had a bears feet.
His mouth was that of a lion and was placed with great authority in his seat.
The dragon had wounds on his seven heads but they were all healed.
He spoke great lies and man was lead astray for his words to them appealed.
He made war against the saints and had power over all the nations of the earth.
He led many into captivity and the saints found what faith was worth.
For another beast came out of the earth with two horns like a lamb.
He spoke as a dragon and did great wonders in the sight of men.
Many were deceived by the miracles for he had power to give life to the beast.
He reined all the earth and his power was thus increased.
He said no man might buy or sell except he take the mark of the beast or the number of his name.
His power was increased over small and great rich or poor were made powerless all the same.
Revelation Chapter 13, verse 18: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six.
