Acts 5:36

Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.

For there is no partiality with God.

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet

The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.

Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.

They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar Jesus,

For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.

Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.”

The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.

One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.

The king spoke and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?”

“I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.

For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.

For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.

For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

For already some have turned away after Satan.

But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,

having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts

You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.

Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.

They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.

The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

“ ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against Yahweh! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Aren’t you then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”

But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.

I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.

Do all things without complaining and arguing,

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.

He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.

All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.

For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
