1 It came to pass the second night that I saw a dream, and behold, an eagle which had twelve feathered wings and three heads came up from the sea.
2 I saw, and behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of heaven blew on her, and the clouds were gathered together against her.ᵃᵇ
3 I saw, and out of her wings there grew other wings near them; and they became little, tiny wings.
4 But her heads were at rest. The head in the middle was larger than the other heads, yet rested it with them.
5 Moreover I saw, and behold, the eagle flew with her wings to reign over the earth and over those who dwell therein.
6 I saw how all things under heaven were subject to her, and no one spoke against her—no, not one creature on earth.
7 I saw, and behold, the eagle rose on her talons, and uttered her voice to her wings, saying,
8 “Don’t all watch at the same time. Let each one sleep in his own place and watch in turn;
9 but let the heads be preserved for the last.”
10 I saw, and behold, the voice didn’t come out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.
11 I counted her wings that were near the others, and behold, there were eight of them.ᶜᵈ
