2 Esdras 12:2: “...and the two” [The remaining Contrary Feathers/Kings (The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed and the False Prophet)] “went unto it” [The Eagle] “and set themselves up to reign,” [Rule] “and their kingdom” [Babylon] “was small, and full of uproar.”
2 Esdras 12:20: “That in him” [The Eagle] “there
shall arise eight kings, whose times" [Ruler ships] "shall
be but small," [Short/not long] "and their years"
[To rule] "swift.”
