Then I stood on the sand of the Sea... And I saw a beast rising up out of the Sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads, a blasphemous name.
The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority
And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
So they worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the beast. And they worshipped the beast, saying,
"Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies. And he was given authority to continue for 42 months.
Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in Heaven.
It was granted him to make war with the saints and to overcome them (physically.. within 'the system') .
And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
All who dwell on the earth will worship him.. whose names have not been written in the Book of Life if the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world.
Then I saw another beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and spoke like a dragon.
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead...
And that none may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom... Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man...
Now I saw Heaven opened... And behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True. And in righteousness He judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a Name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His Name is called The Word of God.
And the armies in Heaven, clothes in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp two-edged Sword. And with it He shall strike the nations. He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And He has on His robe and in His thigh a Name written:
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun. And he cried with a loud voice to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven...
"Come and gather together for the feast of The Great God... That you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains and of 'mighty men', the flesh of horses and those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, small and great."
And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war with Him who sat on the horse and against His army.
Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceives those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image.
THESE TWO WERE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE IF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.
And the rest were killed with the Sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse.
And all the birds were filled with their flesh.
Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, having the key to the Bottomless Pit, and a great chain in his hand.
He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the devil and satan, and bound him for 1,000 years. And he cast him into the Bottomless Pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he could deceive the nations more till the 1,000 years were finished.
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them.
Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus, The Word of God... Who had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark.
And they lived and reigned with Christ for 1,000 years.
But the rest of the dead did not live again till the 1,000 years were finished....
THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION.
Blessed and Holy are they who have part in the First Resurrection... Over such the Second Death has no power. But they shall be priests of God, of Christ, and shall reign with Him for 1,000 years.
Now when the 1,000 years have expired, satan will be released from his prison, and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth... Gog and Magog... To gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the Sea....
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the Beloved City.
AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN AND DEVOURED THEM.
THE DEVIL, WHO DECEIVED THEM, WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE, WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE.
AND THEY WILL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER.
Then I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat on it.. from whose face the earth and heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, both small and great, standing before God.
And another book was opened, which is The Book of Life.
And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things written in the books.
The Sea gave up the dead who were in it. And Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one, according to his works.
THEN DEATH AND HADES WERE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH.
AND ANYONE NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
Now I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth. For the first Heaven and the first Earth had past away. Also, there was no more Sea.
And I heard a loud voice from Heaven...
"Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will dwell with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain. For the former things have passed away."
Then He who sat on the throne said,
"Behold, I make all things new."
I AM The Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things. And I will be his God, and he shall be My son.
But the Cowardly, Unbelieving, Abominable, Murderers, Sexually Immoral, Sorcerers, Idolaters, an Liars shall have their part in the Lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is The Second Death.
