‏ Revelation of John 13:13-14

v. 13: The second beast performs great signs and miracles, like calling down fire from heaven, to deceive people into worshipping the first beast. God sometimes allows such signs, just as He allowed the magicians of Egypt to do wonders. These "miracles" are not true, but they can fool those who are not careful (Revelation 13:13 ^a).

v. 14: The beast uses these miracles to trick people who live on earth. It tells them to make an image for the first beast, which had a fatal wound but lived. In this way, people are led to worship false powers, thinking they are serving God (Revelation 13:14 ^b).
