1
Then saw I 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 the air blew on her, and were gathered together.
3
And I beheld, and out of her feathers there grew other contrary feathers; and they became little feathers and small.
4
But her heads were at rest: the head in the midst was greater than the other, yet rested it with the residue.
5
Moreover I beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew with her feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt therein.
6
And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon earth.
7
And I beheld, and, lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and spake to her feathers, 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 beheld, and, lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.
