Translation commentary on 2 Esdras 11:18 - 11:19

Then the third wing raised itself up, and held the rule like the former ones, and it also disappeared. And so it went with all the wings; they wielded power one after another and then were never seen again: These two verses summarize what happened to the other wings of the eagle. Like the first two wings, each of the remaining wings ruled the earth for awhile and then disappeared. See Good News Bible for a good model of these verses.
