Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads [leaders] as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Rev 13:4 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?
They will worship him out of avid and obvious fear of him; for he will be treacherous like no one has ever seen before. In fact, he will be SO treacherous that he will demand and legislate that all men take a mark upon their forehead or in the hands to pledge their servant-hood and allegiance to him, which in essence, he will be demanding they sell out their very souls to him, without exception. No one, and I do mean, NO one has ever seen the like. He will be worse than Hitler. Hitler was like a toy soldier compared to him. For his actions will be dictated by the very devil himself who has an unparalleled hatred for all mankind.
Paralleled: unequalled, unmatched
NATURE OF A BEAST:
1. any nonhuman animal, especially a large, four-footed mammal.
2. the crude animal nature common to humans and the lower animals: insatiable Hunger.
3. a cruel, coarse, filthy, or otherwise beastlike person.
COARSE:
1. lacking delicacy, taste, or refinement; unpolished
2. of inferior or faulty quality; common [ain’t nothing glorious about him]; base. (undesirable)
NATURE OF A LEOPARD:
The species' success in the wild is in part due to its opportunistic hunting behavior, its adaptability to habitats, its ability to run at speeds approaching 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph), its unequaled ability to climb trees even when carrying a heavy carcass, and its notorious ability for stealth. The leopard consumes virtually any animal that it can hunt down and catch. Its habitat ranges from rainforest to desert terrains.
opportunistic: exploiting opportunities with little regard to principle or consequence
exploit: to take selfish or unfair advantage of a person or situation, usually for personal gain
FEET OF A “BEAR”
The weight of a bear’s feet. They are as powerful as a locomotive and they move in locomotion. They can outrun you so its futile to try to outrun them. It’s frightening to see them coming after you or anyone. They bear the weight of the body and they will be heavy upon and roll over who they rule.
· They are swift: They will be swift to capture and prey upon
· They run swift to destroy.
· They will use their heavy feet to walk all over you. He won’t walk lightly.
· They use their claws in war. With their sharp claws, they tear their prey to ribbons.
· They are unmerciful to their prey.
MOUTH OF THE LION:
· Fierce and frightening
· Dominant (not docile or subject)
· Predatory (they’re stalkers)
· Angry (not peaceful)
· Loud (not quiet, private or intimate)
· Very large and capable of consuming a human
· Teeth are very long and capable of tearing apart & devouring its prey

Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
Rev 13:5 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.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 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.
Rev 13:8 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.
NOT THE SAINTS!
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [already] are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
THEY AIN'T EVEN GONNA STAND BEFORE THE THRONE TO BE JUDGED. THEIR JUDGEMENT IS ALREADY DETERMINED AND THEY WILL JUST BE THROWN ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE UPON JESUS' ARRIVAL--ALIVE! So, this means they are in human bodies.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Hunting and diet
While a lioness such as this one has very sharp teeth, prey is usually killed by strangulationLions are powerful animals that usually hunt in coordinated groups and stalk their chosen prey. However, they are not particularly known for their stamina—for instance, a lioness' heart makes up only 0.57 percent of her body weight (a male's is about 0.45 percent of his body weight), whereas a hyena's heart is close to 1 percent of its body weight.[66] Thus, they only run fast in short bursts,[67] and need to be close to their prey before starting the attack. They take advantage of factors that reduce visibility; many kills take place near some form of cover or at night.[68] They sneak up to the victim until they reach a distance of around 30 metres (98 ft) or less. Typically, several lionesses work together and encircle the herd from different points. Once they have closed with a herd, they usually target the closest prey. The attack is short and powerful; they attempt to catch the victim with a fast rush and final leap. The prey usually is killed by strangulation,[69] which can cause cerebral ischemia or asphyxia (which results in hypoxemic, or "general", hypoxia). The prey also may be killed by the lion enclosing the animal's mouth and nostrils in its jaws[70] (which would also result in asphyxia). Smaller prey, though, may simply be killed by a swipe of a lion's paw.[4]

The prey consists mainly of large mammals, with a preference for wildebeest, impalas, zebras, buffalo, and warthogs in Africa and nilgai, wild boar, and several deer species in India. Many other species are hunted, based on availability. Mainly this will include ungulates weighing between 50 and 300 kg (110–660 lb) such as kudu, hartebeest, gemsbok, and eland.[4] Occasionally, they take relatively small species such as Thomson's Gazelle or springbok. Lions hunting in groups are capable of taking down most animals, even healthy adults, but in most parts of their range they rarely attack very large prey such as fully grown male giraffes due to the danger of injury.
Extensive statistics collected over various studies show that lions normally feed on mammals in the range 190–550 kg (420–1210 lb). In Africa, wildebeest rank at the top of preferred prey (making nearly half of the lion prey in the Serengeti) followed by zebra.[71] Most adult hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, elephants, and smaller gazelles, impala, and other agile antelopes are generally excluded. However giraffes and buffalos are often taken in certain regions. For instance, in Kruger National Park, giraffes are regularly hunted.[72] In Manyara Park, Cape buffaloes constitute as much as 62% of the lion's diet,[73] due to the high number density of buffaloes. Occasionally hippopotamus is also taken, but adult rhinoceroses are generally avoided. Even though smaller than 190 kg (420 lb), warthogs are often taken depending on availability.[74] In some areas, lions specialise in hunting atypical prey species; this is the case at the Savuti river, where they prey on elephants.[75] Park guides in the area reported that the lions, driven by extreme hunger, started taking down baby elephants, and then moved on to adolescents and, occasionally, fully grown adults during the night when elephants' vision is poor.[76] Lions also attack domestic livestock; in India cattle contribute significantly to their diet.[47] Lions are capable of killing other predators such as leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and wild dogs, though (unlike most felids) they seldom devour the competitors after killing them. They also scavenge animals either dead from natural causes (disease) or killed by other predators, and keep a constant lookout for circling vultures, being keenly aware that they indicate an animal dead or in distress.[77] A lion may gorge itself and eat up to 30 kg (66 lb) in one sitting;[78] if it is unable to consume all the kill it will rest for a few hours before consuming more. On a hot day, the pride may retreat to shade leaving a male or two to stand guard.[79] An adult lioness requires an average of about 5 kg (11 lb) of meat per day, a male about 7 kg (15.5 lb).[80]
ause lionesses hunt in open spaces where they are easily seen by their prey, cooperative hunting increases the likelihood of a successful hunt; this is especially true with larger species. Teamwork also enables them to defend their kills more easily against other large predators such as hyenas, which may be attracted by vultures from kilometres away in open savannas. Lionesses do most of the hunting; males attached to prides do not usually participate in hunting, except in the case of larger quarry such as giraffe and buffalo. In typical hunts, each lioness has a favored position in the group, either stalking prey on the "wing" then attacking, or moving a smaller distance in the centre of the group and capturing prey in flight from other lionesses.[81] Young lions first display stalking behaviour around three months of age, although they do not participate in hunting until they are almost a year old. They begin to hunt effectively when nearing the age of two.[82]
