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.
27. But for the two that remained, the sword shall devour them.
28. For the sword of the one shall devour him that was with him: but he also shall fall by the sword in the last days.
29. And whereas you saw two under wings passing over to the head that is on the right side,
30. this is the interpretation: These are they, whom the Most High has kept to his end: this is the small kingdom and full of trouble, as you saw.
31. And the lion, whom you saw rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking her for her unrighteousness, and all her words which you have heard;
32. this is the anointed one, whom the Most High has kept to the end [of days, who shall spring up out of the seed of David, and he shall come and speak] to them and reprove them for their wickedness and unrighteousness, and shall heap up before them their contemptuous dealings.
33. For at the first he shall set them alive in his judgement, and when he has reproved them, he shall destroy them.
34. For the rest of my people shall he deliver with mercy, those that have been preserved throughout my borders, and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the end, even the day of judgment, whereof I have spoken to you from the beginning.
35. This is the dream that you saw, and this is the interpretation thereof:
36. and you only have been meet to know the secret of the Most High.
37. Therefore write all these things that you have seen in a book, and put them in a secret place:
38. and you shall teach them to the wise of your people, whose hearts you know are able to comprehend and keep these secrets.
