2 Esdras 11:3

3 Then from its wings I saw rival wings begin to grow, but they were small and insignificant.

2 Esdras 11:3 In-Context

1 The second night I had a dream. I saw an eagle coming up out of the sea. It had twelve wings and three heads.

2 As I looked, it spread out its wings over the whole world. Winds blew on it from every direction, and clouds gathered over it.

3 Then from its wings I saw rival wings begin to grow, but they were small and insignificant.

4 All three heads of the eagle were asleep, even the middle one, which was larger than the others.

5 While I was watching, the eagle flew up in the air and became ruler of the whole earth and all its people.
