REVELATION
| THE MELCHIZEDEK BIBLE | KING JAMES VERSION |
| Revelation 13 | Revelation 13 |
| . | . |
| 1 While standing on the instability of human reason, I discerned a lustful beast rising out of tempestuous error, having the belief of many minds in matter, and motivating worldly powers by hatred and the "many inventions of evil^," and these so-called powers were blasphemous. | 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. |
| 2 Now the lustful beast I discerned was sudden animality, founded on enlarged beastliness, and fleshly in nature; and animal magnetism gave it apparent power, and its place, and its recognized authority. | 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. |
| 3 Then I discerned one of its stages of deception, as it were revenge leading to self-destruction, and as soon as it was reversed, it reappeared more subtle than before; and all the worldlings marveled over fleshly lust. | 3 And 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. |
| 4 So they worshipped the mendacious mentality that gives force to fleshly lust, and they worshipped flesh itself, gasping, what is like flesh? What is able to struggle against it? | 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? |
| 5 Now fleshly lust is given the power of suggestion to worldlings, great deceptions and blasphemies, yet its activity was to fulfill the sensuous unreal. | 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months. |
| 6 When worldlings speak with lust, they blaspheme against Good and its perfect Love, and its consciousness, and those who dwell in harmony. | 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. |
| 7 Nevertheless fleshly lust is given to mendacious mentality enabling it to struggle against the saints and even overcome them;now that lie's so-called power affected all the beliefs of the multitudes. | 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. |
| 8 So all who dwell upon error's palpable forms will worship the flesh; these are they whose characteristics are not found to coincide with the innocence of divine Life, but are founded on worldliness. | 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. |
| 9 If anyone has courage to understand, let the same understand. | 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. |
| 10 Those that lead into captivity will be led into captivity; those that kill with the sword, forfeit their own lives. In this is found the patience and the faith of the saints. | 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. |
| 11 And I beheld another kind of fleshly lust coming up out of the "deep darkness^" of human belief and it had disguised itself as innocent pleasure, which is the most subtle hypocrisy. | 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. |
| 12 This lust enjoyed the same power as the one before it, and caused deep, dark human belief and those that dwell therein to worship that carnality which first appeared, yet, when confronted with reversal, changed, becoming more subtle. | 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. |
| 13 But to human sense this appears wonderful, so that it seems as an alterative proceeding from harmony, but to only veil error's palpable forms in the sight of mortals, | 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, |
| 14 And deceiving those that dwell on audible sin by the means of those miracles, with which it was given power by the sight of flesh, suggesting that they should be made in the image of fleshly lust, which, when wounded by revenge, is not negated. | 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. |
| 15 Yet animal magnetism gives force to the image of fleshly lust, so that this inverted image of Love should both suggest and falsely cause those who refuse to worship the sin of fleshly lust to be killed in it. | 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. |
| 16 Now all servants of the flesh, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, must be marked by malicious mind, appearing as matter and false mentality. | 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: |
| 17 So that anyone who might deal in error are marked by sin, or the expression of lust, or the product of this expression. | 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. |
| 18 In this, wisdom is a prerequisite: let that one who has understanding trace the root of all error back to animal magnetism, for it is the root of mortal man; and its common denominator is sik-sik-sik (666) - one step short of the Sabbath and its Trinity. | 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six. |
