And his tail dragged a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that whenever she might give birth, he might devour her Child.

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

Now when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male [Child].

And the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a river after the woman, so that he might cause her to be carried off by the river.

And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went off to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.

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

And one of his heads [was] as if it had been slain to death, and his wound of death was healed. And the whole world marveled after the Beast.

"But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

For I know this, that savage wolves will come in after my departure, not sparing the flock.

Also from among you yourselves will arise men speaking things having been distorted, [in order] to draw away the disciples after them.

For such [people] do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and through smooth speech and flattering, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

and that was because of false brothers secretly brought in (who slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might reduce us to slavery),

But the Spirit explicitly says, that in latter times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been seared with a hot iron [as to] their own conscience,

But know this, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, not loving what is good,

having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from these people turn away!

always learning and never being able to come to a full knowledge of the truth.

For there will be a time when they will not put up with sound doctrine, but according to their own lusts, they will heap up for themselves teachers, tickling their ears,

whom it is necessary to shut [their] mouths, who overturn whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain.

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master, the [One] having bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

And by covetousness they will exploit you with fabricated words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction will not sleep.

Little children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but [they went out] in order that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Because many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and the antichrist.

For certain men have crept in unawares, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of our God into licentiousness and denying the only Master God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

But I have [this] against you, that you tolerate your wife Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols.

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

And he works great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth before men.
