8 give me strength. Show me, Lord, the full meaning of this terrifying vision, and set my mind at ease.
9 After all, you did consider me worthy to be shown the end of the age.”
10 God's angel said to me, “Here is the interpretation of the vision you saw.
11 The eagle you saw coming up out of the sea represents the fourth kingdom in the vision that your brother Daniel saw.

13 The time is coming when an empire will be established on earth that is more terrible than any before it.
14 Twelve kings will rule over it, one after the other.
