that after the time of that kingdom there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in peril of falling. Nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning.
19
And whereas thou sawest the eight small under feathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:
20
that in him there shall arise eight kings, whose time shall be but small and their years swift.
21
And two of them shall perish, the middle time approaching; four shall be kept until their end begin to approach, but two shall be kept until the end.
22
And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the interpretation:
23
in his last days shall the Most High raise up three kingdoms, and renew many things therein; and they shall have the dominion of the earth,
24
and of those that dwell therein with much oppression, above all those that were before them. Therefore are they called the heads of the eagle.
25
For these are they that shall accomplish his wickedness, and that shall finish his last end.
26
And whereas thou sawest tht the great head appeared no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain.
27
For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword.
28
For the sword of the one shall devour the other, but at the last shall he fall through the sword himself.
