e last times.
2 Esdr 12:10
And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the
vision:
2 Esdr 12:11
The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the
kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.
2 Esdr 12:12
But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now I declare it
unto thee.
2 Esdr 12:13
Behold, the days will come, that there shall rise up a
kingdom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the
kingdoms that were before it.
2 Esdr 12:14
In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another:
2 Esdr 12:15
Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more
time than any of the twelve.
2 Esdr 12:16
And this do the twelve wings signify, which thou sawest.
2 Esdr 12:17
As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou

2 Esdr 12:18

2 Esdr 12:22
And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the
interpretation:
2 Esdr 12:23

and renew many things therein, and they shall have the dominion
of the earth,
2 Esdr 12:24
And of those that dwell therein, with much oppression, above
all those that were before them: therefore are they called the
heads of the eagle.
2 Esdr 12:25
For these are they that shall accomplish his wickedness, and

2 Esdr 12:26
And whereas thou sawest that the great head appeared no more,
it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet

2 Esdr 12:27
For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword.
2 Esdr 12:28
