What is the meaning of Revelation 13:12?

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

World English Bible (WEB)

And{G2532} he exerciseth{G4160}{(G5719)} all{G3956} the power{G1849} of the first{G4413} beast{G2342} before{G1799} him{G846}, and{G2532} causeth{G4160}{(G5719)} the earth{G1093} and{G2532} them which dwell{G2730}{(G5723)} therein{G1722}{G846} to{G2443} worship{G4352}{(G5661)} the first{G4413} beast{G2342}, whose{G3739}{G846} deadly{G2288} wound{G4127} was healed{G2323}{(G5681)}.

Strong's King James

(12) The authority of the first wild-beast, everything he does in his sight, making the land and those residing in it to worship the first and foremost wild-beast whose fatal wound was healed.

The F.O.G*

[12] This second beast exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, compelling earth's inhabitants to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. False religion serves political power by demanding its worship.

The F.O.G Paraphrase

and all the authority of the first beast doth it do before it, and it maketh the land and those dwelling in it that they shall bow before the first beast, whose deadly stroke was healed,
