13 The time is coming when an empire will be established on earth that is more terrible than any before it.

2 Esdras 12:13 In-Context

11 The eagle you saw coming up out of the sea represents the fourth kingdom in the vision that your brother Daniel saw.

12 But he was not given the same interpretation of it that I am giving you.

13 The time is coming when an empire will be established on earth that is more terrible than any before it.

14 Twelve kings will rule over it, one after the other.

15 The second king will rule longer than any of the others.
