I looked and saw what appeared to be an angry lion come roaring out of the forest. I heard it speak in human language to the eagle and say,
38
"Listen, Eagle, to what I have to say to you; it is the message of God Most High:
39
You are the only one left of the four animals that I appointed to govern my world and to bring the ages of this world to an end.
40
You are the fourth animal and you have conquered all the animals that came before you. As long as you have been in this world, you have ruled it through terror, oppression, and deceit,
41
with a total disregard for truth.
42
You have viciously attacked harmless people who were living in peace; you have hated those who spoke the truth, and you have loved liars. You have destroyed the homes of those who were prosperous and have torn down the walls of those who did you no harm.
43
God Most High knows how proud and arrogant you are. The Almighty One
44
has looked back over the world he established. The end has come; the final age is over.
45
So, Eagle, the time has come for you to vanish, along with your big, terrible wings, your small, wicked wings, your evil heads, your awful claws, and your whole worthless body.
46
The entire world will be set free from your violence and renewed as it sets its hope on the judgment and mercy of God, who created it."
