介绍（中）	在《启示录》第十三卷中，约翰描述了两只野兽：一只从海里出来，有七个头，另一只从地上跳出来，赋予更大的野兽力量。拥有十顶王冠的七头兽被解读为国家的恶魔和强大权威。正如《启示录》中所说，"他们崇拜赋予野兽力量的龙。他们崇拜野兽，说，谁和野兽一样？谁能和他打仗？有人给了他一张说大话和亵渎的嘴；权力也给了他……他张开嘴亵渎上帝，亵渎他的名字、他的帐幕和住在天堂的人。"
介绍（英）	In book thirteen of Revelation, John describes two beasts: one that emerges from the sea and has seven heads, and another that springs from the earth and empowers the bigger beast. The seven-headed beast with its ten crowns has been interpreted as the demonic and powerful authority of the state. As it says in Revelation, "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? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him . . . And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven."
