Church Fathers on Revelation 13:3

“And I saw a beast rising up from the sea, like a leopard.” This signifies the kingdom of that time of Antichrist, and the people mingled with the variety of nations. “His feet were as the feet of a bear.” A strong and most unclean beast, the feet are to be understood as his leaders. “And his mouth as the mouth of a lion.” That is, his mouth armed for blood is his bidding, and a tongue which will proceed to nothing else than to the shedding of blood. * * * * * * * *
