Who can wage war against it?" 5 The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant words and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme against God, to slander His name, His dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was also given power to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. It was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. 8 All those who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If anyone has ears to hear, let them listen. 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go.

They will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. 11 The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark bearing its name." 12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and hold fast to faith in Jesus.

So they hurried him out, and he himself was eager to leave because the Lord had afflicted him.
