Revelation 13:3

3One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.

II. False Worship

Revelation 13:4

4And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against

it?” 5And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

Revelation 13:6

6It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

7Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation,

8and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the

world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.

III. Endurance

9If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;

if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.

Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
