8
"Not all of you are to wake up at the same time; you must sleep where you are and wake up when your turn comes,
9
and the heads must wake up last."
10
I looked again and saw that the voice was not coming from any of the eagle's heads but from the middle of its body.
11
I counted its rival wings, and there were eight of them.
12
I saw one of the wings on the right side rise up and govern the whole world.
13
After its rule came to an end, it vanished so completely that it left no trace. Then the next wing rose up and governed for a long time.
14
When its rule was coming to an end and it was about to vanish like the first wing,
15
a voice said to it,
16
"Listen, you have ruled the world for a long time, and I want you to hear this message before you disappear:
17
No one after you will rule as long as you did - not even half as long."
18
The third wing rose up and governed as the earlier ones had done; then it also vanished.
