²¹ Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ²² The Lord said to him, ‘How?’ And he said, ‘I will go out and ^(A)be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.’ ²³ Now therefore, behold, ^(B)the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has proclaimed disaster against you.”

Victory for the Lamb

¹⁴ These will wage ^(A)war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will ^(B)overcome them, because He is ^(C)Lord of lords and ^(D)King of kings, and ^(E)those who are with Him are the ^(F)called and chosen and faithful.”

¹⁹ And I saw ^(A)the beast and ^(B)the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who ^(C)sat on the horse and against His army.

⁸ and will come out to ^(A)deceive the nations which are in the ^(B)four corners of the earth, ^(C)Gog and Magog, to ^(D)gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the ^(E)sand of the ^[a]seashore.
