Fascinating!
Easily the most plausible interpretation I've seen yet.. well done!

Wow. Haven't read any comments on any of these videos. Just watched all three. Agree this isn't something that should be shared as a new gospel, but i looked at the datestamp to see when you uploaded this and it was WAAAY before all the stuff that happened this summer with the switch and the multiple assassination attempts. Heading back to finish the Revelation series, (after i check out the update video) but this was interesting. Ultimate take away is that we need to be in a state of heart preparation and seeking opportunities to share the three angels messages ✨️ we are living and dwelling in a grand and awful time. But if we are faithful we will get to be a part of the 144k and hang out with Jesus in his special inner circle forever 💛 it is an incomprehensible thought but by God's grace He who has begun the good work in us will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

It is also interesting that this prophecy seems to begin with Herbert Hoover who was inaugurated in 1929, which is the same year Mussolini signed the Lateran Treaty and recognized Vatican City as an independent state once again for the papacy.

The fact that you have tied this to the early work of the church (EG White, AT Jones, etc.) is important. Also the similar work in Gods word is an eye opener to me. Much thought comes after this.

I am poor and by no means have lands and possesions to help prepare. So this is a great lesson on trusting God in such a complete manner.
God help us all.

Loved "The hidden book". Interesting and stimulating presentation.

The explanation of the three heads of the eagle are in Revelation 17 and nobody seems to see it.
But first let me thank you of bringing this prophecy into attention. It’s very interesting concerning the feathers. We already know the last Bible prophecies are about to fulfill quickly, but this prophecy gives all this a sense of serious urgency and it’s very concrete. That’s why your core message of having a true realtionship with Christ and developing a sanctified character through God’s grace is most important.

Concerning the three heads, we should not use any guesswork to identify them. Everything must be in harmony with the prophecies of the Bible. I’ve been studying the books of Daniel and Revelation diligently for a long while now, and we must place this prophecy in the context of the truths revealed in those books.

Russia and China are not key players in Revelation 17, which I believe might just have everything we need in order to identify the three heads. I haven’t studied 2nd Esdras more than just listening to your presentation once. But I’d like you to consider the following:

Rev. 17 reveals the last stage of Rome after the healing of the deadly wound. There we see eight heads mentioned (the 8th being one of the seven - the Papacy). If you study these heads carefully, you’ll see that the last three of them will exist at the same time, and the two last ones will dominate in the end before one of them destroys the harlot. I think there’s a great possibility that the three heads of the eagle are these last three heads of Rev. 17. What are they?

It saddens me thet there’s a lot of confusion about the interpretation of the heads of Rev. 17. Uriah Smith didn’t have full light on the matter. And the current GC adventism has completely abandoned reason by including Egypt and Assyria in the seven heads, thus ignoring the prophesies of Daniel. The first head must be Babylon, otherwise we’ll be totally clueless of the key powers of the end times.

Rev. 17 deals with the time when the papacy’s deadly wound heals. Together with Daniel and Rev. 13 we know that the fifth head is the papacy which received the deadly wound. Thus five of the heads/kings have fallen (Rev. 17:10).

But not many seem to realize that the ”one head that is” during the healing of the Papacy is the land beast of Rev 13 - the USA, the sixth head.

The seventh head is stated in Rev 17 itself. It is the ten kings ”which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.” (verse 12). Verse 13 says that those ten kings will have ”one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast”. This means that they act as one head with one mind, even though there are ten joined kings.

What are the ten kings a symbol of? The book of Daniel has securely established that they are the kingdoms of EUROPE, which were divided after the fall of pagan Rome. But they’ll unite for a very short time as the seventh head of Rev. 17.

The papacy itself was the fifth head, and after recovering it’s authority after the healing of the wound it is also the eighth head.
So, here we have the key players of the very last events that will happen during the mark of the beast crisis and will lead to the final war against the Lamb and the saints.

The last three heads are USA, joined Europe and the Papacy. They are also the three heads of the eagle of the 2nd Esdras. They act in unison against Christ and God’s remnant people.
It is also very interesting to see that a three headed eagle is an excellent symbol of all these three powers. As we know the USA is commonly symbolized with an eagle. But also Rome used the eagle (aquila) as a symbol of it’s authority and military power. The eagle in the prophecy is a union of religion/state, that’ll use it’s civil (military) power against the saints.

Prophetically speaking both the papacy and the ten kings of Europe are ”roman”. Pagan Rome divided into ten horns and the papacy (little horn) rose from among them. In Dan 2 the papacy and the feet (with ten toes) are a mix of clay and (roman) iron. So an eagle is a proper symbol of this continuation of Rome that still exists today in Europe, and will exist until the kingdom of God will be established. Also a symbol of a two headed eagle has been in use in several european countries in more recent times denoting the ”Holy Roman Empire”.

So, wouldn’t it make a lot of sense if the USA was one of the three heads of the eagle, ”the one that is”, and the two heads that are still inactive until the very end are the ten kings of Europe with the papal Rome? This is exactly what Rev. 17 tells us!
And it even continues that it’s not China nor Russia that will beat one of the heads, but it’s the ten kings (the 7th head) that will defeat the papacy (Rev. 17:16-17).

Very interesting video. I’ve seen many different versions of Esdras Eagle and I enjoyed this presentation mostly because you approach it as an idea that could be right or wrong. I think a general theme through most interpretations is that the country is in trouble and we’re going into very turbulent times. Now is a time to be prepared temporally and spiritually. Thank you for sharing.

[inormon]

Very interesting… thank you for sharing your study 🙏

[ghuni]

Accurate, brother.

May GOD bless you and your ministry.

[irenerussell]

Fascinating! Thank you very much for the interesting presentation! hugs from England

[danielsilveira]

Very interesting. I didn't yet see such an interpretation of this chapter 12. Will dive more into it.

But the part of 2 Esdras that impacted me more was chapter 13, not sure if you will make a continuation of this series. Chapter 13 is a prophecy of the man that arises from the sea. Most strikingly, we see that ten tribes of Israel, will be gathered together in the end times (13.40). Compare with this quote:
EGW - To the ten tribes, long rebellious and impenitent, was given no promise of complete restoration to their former power in Palestine. Until the end of time, they were to be “wanderers among the nations.” But through Hosea was given a prophecy that set before them the privilege of having a part in the final restoration that is to be made to the people of God at the close of earth's history, when Christ shall appear as King of kings and Lord of lords. “Many days, ” the prophet declared, the ten tribes were to abide “without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim.” “Afterward, ” the prophet continued, “shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the latter days.” Hosea 3:4, 5. PK 298.1

I've been trying to tell folks about Esdras as well as Enoch, Jasher, and a couple of other books for a long time. People don't even know the rest of the Bible and prophecies. We are in the last days. The Papacy is just biding it's time until the last few things happen. God bless you brother. Amen

[adrianciupag]

Very interesting ! Keep up the good work !

[danielsilveira]

The lion is the anointed one (12.32) that God kept (12.32) that seems to be the same as the man of chapter 13.26 which also was kept.

[geraldinemoreno]

I found this extremely interesting and worthy of a more indepth look. EGW says Daniel and Revelation book be studied by us, in it they have Turkey (maybe Muslim) setting up government in Jerusalem, perhaps the east and west might refer to Jerusalem being the centre of the compass? It also says He will come to his end and none shall help him (Turkey) maybe instead of China, the other head might be Turkey???

[samdevai]

Hey Rob fascinating study. That quote from EGW about the hidden book always bothered me. I always thought it was the book of Jasher because EGW kept it in the center of her bible but it never made sense. Ezra 2 makes sense. For your studies may I suggest a different look at the three heads, I think it's the "threefold union". One major reason is the Dragon is not Rome, the Dragon is the Devil himself, always was, always will be. Rev 13:2-4 and we know he will appear and claim to be Christ (an Angel of light). Your thoughts?

[Needle_to_the_Pole]

Question - is there a possibility thst the 3 heads refer to the 3 branches of government in America? That was my immediate interpretation when you m read thst passage in 2 Esdras.

In Daniel, we have have the 4 headed leopard beast where each head represents the division of rulersjip among 4 generals WITHIN the Grecian Empire. In like manner, it makes sense to me on the surface that this ONE bird would have the heads represent division of powers among the legislative. Executive, and Judicial powers where the executive would be in the middle.

These are just my immediate thoughts.

The interpretation of the feathers are very interesting.

I will say, however - when I first read the Apocrypha I could not make any heads or tails on this prophecy so you are much further along than I was in my attempts to understand that vision. Thank you for sharing.

[pilgrimsprogress]

8:59 Here we have a problem. Daniel didn’t see a eagle coming out of the sea.

“The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.” 2 Esdras 12:11

“But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now I declare it unto thee.” 2 Esdras 12:12

The last beast that came out of the sea was Rome.

“And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.” Daniel 7:3

“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.” Daniel 7:7

[MANTY-]

Question. Daniel 11vs1-4
And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

2 “And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia, and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them. And when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

3 Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do as he wills.

4 And as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the authority with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.
What do you think?

[divergentone]

Just a Both the US and Rome have taken the imagery of the eagle. Considering that Rome consists of the dragon and the beast, the third head could relate to Apostate Protestant America - mirroring Revelation. Through the three-fold union Rome's position would be restored to it's beginning. Twelve is the number representing God's people. The eighth feathers remind me of Revelation 17:11
