12:11 The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.
12:12 But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now I declare it unto thee.
12:13 Behold, the days will come, that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingdoms that were before it.
12:14 In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another:
12:15 Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more time than any of the twelve.
12:16 And this do the twelve wings signify, which thou sawest.
12:17 As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou sawest not to go out from the heads but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:
12:18 That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in peril of failing: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning.
12:19 And whereas thou sawest the eight small under feathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:
12:20 That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be but small, and their years swift.
