[Spoken:] "The beast was allowed to make proud claims which were insulting to God, and it was permitted to have authority for forty-two months. It began to curse God, his name, the place where he lives, and all those who live in heaven. It was allowed to fight against Godýs people and to defeat them, and it was given authority over every tribe, nation, language, and race. All people living on earth will worship it..." Revelation 13:5-8
