1. And it came to pass the second night that I saw a dream, and, behold, there came up from the sea an eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads.
2. And I saw, and, behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of heaven blew on her, and the clouds were gathered together against her.
3. And I saw, and out of her wings there grew other wings over against them; and they became little wings and small.
4. But her heads were at rest: the head in the midst was greater than the other heads, yet rested it with them.
5. Moreover I saw, and, behold, the eagle flew with her wings, to reign over the earth, and over them that dwell therein.
6. And I saw how all things under heaven were subject to her, and no man spoke against her, no, not one creature upon earth.
7. And I saw, and, behold, the eagle rose upon her talons, and uttered her voice to her wings, saying,
8. Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course:
9. but let the heads be preserved for the last.
10. And I saw, and, behold, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.
11. And I counted her wings that were over against the other, and, behold, there were eight of them.
12. And I saw, and, behold, on the right side there arose one wing, and reigned over all the earth;
13. and so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it came, and it appeared not, so that the place thereof appeared no more: and the next following rose up, and reigned, and it bare rule a great time;
14. and it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, so that it appeared no more, like as the first.
