17
After you no one shall rule as long as you, or even half as long."
18
Then the third wing raised itself up, and held the rule like the former ones, and it also disappeared.
19
And so it went with all the wings; they wielded power one after another and then were never seen again.
20
And I looked, and behold, in due course the wings that followed also rose up on the right side, in order to rule. There were some of them that ruled, yet disappeared suddenly;
21
and others of them rose up, but did not hold the rule.
22
And after this I looked, and behold, the twelve wings and the two little wings disappeared;
23
and nothing remained on the eagle's body except the three heads that were at rest and six little wings.
24
And I looked, and behold, two little wings separated from the six and remained under the head that was on the right side; but four remained in their place.
25
And I looked, and behold, these little wings planned to set themselves up and hold the rule.
26
And I looked, and behold, one was set up, but suddenly disappeared;
27
a second also, and this disappeared more quickly than the first.
