Revelation 13:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ The wild animal received authority to rule people for 42 months. It could speak proud words and insult God. ⁶ So it started to speak against God. It insulted God's name and the place where he lives, as well as the people who live there in heaven. ⁷ It received power to fight a war against God's own people and to win against them. It received authority to rule over people from every nation, people from every tribe and people from every language.
