The vision of enoch of

“« The swift-flying eagle that thou sawest, which had eight wings
and three heads, is the king of the Romans and the Greeks; and whereas he stood
above the sea, he shall be a king strong as iron. And forasmuch as the eagle
pursues all birds, and strikes and throws them down, in like manner the king of
the Romans shall consume all the kingdoms of the earth, and through the power of
the Most High he shall entrap them as it were birds of heaven in a snare, and there
shall be none able to resist him. And whereas he looked toward the south, he shall
prevail against the people of the south. And whereas the sea on account of the
violence of the wind was agitated, and the waves beat the wings of the eagle to
drown him; in the last times, during the days of those kings after the hundred
and eighth Jubilee, the last people of the south, the children of Ishmael, that
dwell on the sea-shore of Arabia, shall stand up. They shall rise against the earth
and they shall conquer it; and they shall fight on the sea-shore to destroy tlie
power of the Romans, but they shall not be able, because this kingdom is the guardian
of the seat of the great king and although
there should rise against it wars and storms of evils, they shall not be able to
drown it, but it shall be superseded and followed by an eternal kingdom, but it
is diminished for the reproving of its sins, and that the sins of the southern
people may be full.
And the noise of the waves, which was like the noise of horses, galloping
from the countries of the east to the north and to the west, signifies that the
greatness of the nations shall be conquered by the children ot Ishmael, and laid
waste like the dust of the earth, and there shall be no rejoicing upon the
earth, but clamour of weeping, and erying, and tumult.
» And whereas the waves beat upon the wings of the eagle, the
people of Ishmael shall smite and defeat the troops of the Romans and of the North,
but they shall not be able to exterminate them.
» And whereas the head of the dragon lay on the asli-heap, between the
waves and the wind, and he had nine eyes, and his feet were like the claws of a
lion, and his running like that of a leopard, he is the first prince of the
people of Ishmael, and his strength is like the waves of the sea rising upon the
land.
» And whereas he had nine eyes, and his feet were like those of a lion,
after him shall arise nine kings, and they shall conquer the earth, and they shall
break it in pieces like a lion's prey.
» And whereas he overtook the eagle between the wind and the waves,
and opened his mouth to swallow him, he shall rise against the king of the Romans,
and shall harass him, and shall take away his power.
….
He shall strike two of them, and shall undo and overthrow the
dominion of the ten; and seizing upon the kingdom, he shall march against
Palestina and against the dominion of the children of Ishmael. He shall return
victorious, and with many auxiliaries of the people of the South, and shall go
against Palestina and strike it. His anger shall be kindled , like that of the
Serpent, throughout all the earth,and he shall call himself a God, and shall
speak proudly before the Most High, and all the ungodly shall worship him. That
is the fire that came ont of the dragon and burnt the earth ; for in that
timethere shall be found no righteousness in men, but they shall all be like
thorns tobe burnt with their own iniquities.
