2 Esdras 12:24

24 and its people with more harshness than any before them. The reason they are called the eagle's heads

2 Esdras 12:24 In-Context

22 "You saw the three heads that were asleep. That means

23 that in the last days of the empire, God Most High will raise up three kings; they will restore much of the empire and rule over the world

24 and its people with more harshness than any before them. The reason they are called the eagle's heads

25 is that these three kings will bring to a head and complete the godless work of the eagle.

26 You saw the largest head disappear. This means that one of the kings will die in his bed, in great agony.
