and gthe hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
hits wheels were burning fire.

and came out from before him;
ja thousand thousands kserved him,

the ncourt sat in judgment,
and othe books were opened.

The Second Beast
11Then afI saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, ▼▼Or on its behalf
and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, ahwhose mortal wound was healed. 13 aiIt performs great signs, even ajmaking fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of ▼▼Or on behalf of
the beast alit deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast amthat was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not anworship the image of the beast aoto be slain. 16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, ▼▼Greek bondservant
aqto be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, arthe name of the beast or asthe number of its name. Revelation of John 16:13-14
