2 Esdras 11:18
King James VersionSource notes
“Then arose the third, and reigned as the other before, and appeared no more also.”
Context
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.
19So went it with all the residue one after another, as that every one reigned, and then appeared no more.
20Then I beheld, and, lo, in process of time the feathers that followed stood up upon the right side, that they might rule also; and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more:
21For some of them were set up, but ruled not.
