I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the
world wondered after the beast.

beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who
is
like unto the beast? who is able to make war
with him?

worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation
