1
On the second night I had a dream, and behold, there came up from the sea an eagle that had twelve feathered wings and three heads.
2
And I looked, and behold, he spread his wings over all the earth, and all the winds of heaven blew upon him, and the clouds were gathered about him.
3
And I looked, and out of his wings there grew opposing wings; but they became little, puny wings.
4
But his heads were at rest; the middle head was larger than the other heads, but it also was at rest with them.
5
And I looked, and behold, the eagle flew with his wings, to reign over the earth and over those who dwell in it.
6
And I saw how all things under heaven were subjected to him, and no one spoke against him, not even one creature that was on the earth.
7
And I looked, and behold, the eagle rose upon his talons, and uttered a cry to his wings, saying,
8
"Do not all watch at the same time; let each sleep in his own place, and watch in his turn;
9
but let the heads be reserved for the last."
10
And I looked, and behold, the voice did not come from his heads, but from the midst of his body.
11
And I counted his opposing wings, and behold, there were eight of them.
