“Then came there a voice unto it, and said,”
Context
12And I looked, and, behold, on the right side there arose one feather, and reigned over all the earth;
13And so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it came, and the place thereof appeared no more: so the next following stood up. and reigned, and had a great time;
14And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more.
15Then came there a voice unto it, and said,
16Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more,
17There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof.
18Then arose the third, and reigned as the other before, and appeared no more also.
