And all the world marveled and followed the beast.” For the TIME of this verse, see the explanation at the opening of the Chapter 13 discussion.

The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.” (As taken from The Keys of Revelation) We continue with some key quotes which exemplify the arrogance of the Papacy and its “great swelling words” as taken from Fox’s, Acts and Monuments. “180.

Revelation Chapter 13 VERSE 2 “Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.” THE BEAST WHICH I SAW: It is important to note that this beast borrows from the first three civil beasts of Daniel 7.
