13
And after a time its reign came to an end, and it disappeared, so that even its place was no longer visible. Then the next wing rose up and reigned, and it continued to reign a long time.
14
While it was reigning its end came also, so that it disappeared like the first.
16
"Listen to me, you who have ruled the earth all this time; I announce this to you before you disappear.
17
After you no one shall rule as long as you have ruled, not even half as long."
