And while it was reigning it came to its end and disappeared, so that its place was not seen. Then the next wing arose and reigned, and it continued to reign a long time.

"Hear 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, or even half as long."
