• Daniel 7:23

  Thus he said, The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

• Revelation 13:16-18

  [16] He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads; [17] and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.

• Revelation 20:4-6

  [4] I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. [5] The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. [6] Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

• Revelation 13:1-18

  [1] 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. [2] The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. [3] One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast. [4] They worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" [5] A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him. [6] He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven. [7] It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him. [8] All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed. [9] If anyone has an ear, let him hear. [10] If anyone has captivity, he will go. If anyone is with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints. [11] I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. [12] He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. [13] He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people. [14] 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. [15] It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed. [16] He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads; [17] and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.

• Psalms 2:1-12

  [1] Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yahweh, and against his anointed, saying, [3] "Let's break their bonds apart, And cast away their cords from us." [4] He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision. [5] Then he will speak to them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath: [6] "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion." [7] I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father. [8] Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. [9] You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." [10] Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth. [11] Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

• Revelation 14:9-12

  [9] Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand, [10] he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. [11] The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. [12] Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

• Luke 9:25

  For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

• Ephesians 6:10-17

  [10] Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. [11] Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. [13] Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, [15] and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace; [16] above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

• Matthew 24:1-51

  [1] Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. [2] But he answered them, "Don't you see all of these things? Most assuredly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down." [3] As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" [4] Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray. [5] For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray. [6] You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. [8] But all these things are the beginning of birth pains. [9] Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake. [10] Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. [11] Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. [12] Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. [13] But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved. [14] This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. [15] "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), [16] then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. [17] Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house. [18] Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes. [19] But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days! [20] Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath, [21] for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. [22] 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. [23] "Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' don't believe it. [24] 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. [25] "Behold, I have told you beforehand. [26] If therefore they tell you, 'Behold, he is in the wilderness,' don't go out; 'Behold, he is in the inner chambers,' don't believe it. [27] For as the lightning comes forth from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. [28] For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures be gathered together. [29] But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; [30] and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. [31] He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. [32] "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near. [33] Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. [34] Most assuredly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished. [35] Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. [36] But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only. [37] "As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. [38] For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, [39] and they didn't know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. [40] Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left; [41] two women grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one will be left. [42] Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes. [43] But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. [44] Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son of Man will come. [45] "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season? [46] Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes. [47] Most assuredly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has. [48] But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,' [49] and begins to beat his fellow-servants, and eat and drink with the drunken, [50] the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't expect it, and in an hour when he doesn't know it, [51] and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

• John 14:6

  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
