16. This is the interpretation of the twelve wings, which you saw.
17. And whereas you heard a voice which spoke, not going out from the heads, but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:
18. That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise no small contentions, and it shall stand in peril of falling: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to its first estate.
19. And whereas you saw the eight under wings sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:
20. That in it there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be but small, and their years swift.
21. And two of them shall perish, when the middle time approacheth: four shall be kept for a while until the time of the ending thereof shall approach: but two shall be kept to the end.
22. And whereas you saw three heads resting, this is the interpretation:
23. In the last days thereof shall the Most High raise up three kingdoms, and renew many things therein, and they shall bear rule over the earth,
24. and over those that dwell therein, with much oppression, above all those that were before them: therefore are they called the heads of the eagle.
25. For these are they that shall accomplish her wickedness, and that shall finish her last end.
26. And whereas you saw that the great head appeared no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain.
