Here's a decent (not great, IMO, but good enough) explanation:

Here's my own explanation:
In the Apocrypha, in 2 Esdras 11 & 12, Ezra had a vision of a 3-headed eagle that represented the last of 4 powerful kingdoms in the last days. All 4 were seen by Daniel in (I think) Daniel chapter 7, and they were a bear (Russia), a lion (Great Britain), a leopard (though some translations say a panther, which would be Germany during the Third Reich), and an eagle (likely the United States). Ezra saw a lot more details about this "eagle kingdom", though.
In Ezra's vision, the eagle has 3 heads, and they're sleeping (they don't represent the 3 branches of the federal government... you'll see). The large feathers on the eagle's wings stand up one at a time, representing "kings" that would rule in this kingdom one at a time. One of them rules twice as long as any of the others. Later, the reign of two of them are cut short before their time. These line up really well with FDR (who was elected 4 times), JFK (whose "reign" was cut short by assassination), and Richard Nixon (whose "reign" was cut short when he resigned). All the other feathers stand up in their turn and go back down afterward, representing all the other presidents during the 20th century and beginning of this century.
But then it says that another one is cut short before its time, and that feather lines up with Trump's first term. If the prophecy is accurate, then his feather being cut short is likely referring to the election fraud 4 years ago. It then says that the next one (Biden) reigns for less time than the first Trump feather. Some say that this has already been fulfilled, since Biden hasn't really been in charge for a while (I'm not sure if that counts, personally, but we'll see).
Then it goes on to say that the next two feathers (Trump and Vance) "think in themselves to rule", but then the eagle's heads wake up, and one of them eats those two feathers before they can rise to power. So if this is a legit prophecy, then sometime before Trump is inaugurated, he and Vance will be taken out. But if they're sworn in, and especially if they're still fine by the end of Monday and into Tuesday, then the popular interpretation of the prophecy will no longer hold up. 😌
The prophecy goes on, though, to say that the middle head then rules over the whole world "with much oppression". Eventually it dies (though it's unclear how, IIRC), and another head rules and is even more evil, but it's not as competent as the first head. That head is then killed by the third head, which reigns with the worst evil, but the least competency, until the ruler that's represented by the third head commits suicide on their own bed.
After that, two more feathers stand up one at a time, but then the eagle (which was flying in the vision) lands. A lion (not the one representing Great Britain, but the "lion of the tribe of Judah" (representing Jesus Christ) comes to the eagle from the wilderness, talks to it a little (essentially chastising it for once being a great nation, and now being a pathetic shadow of its former self), and then eats the eagle, and reigns over the world in its place. And that's how the vision ends.
I may have gotten a few (or many) things wrong, but that's what I remember of it off the top of my head. On one hand, I hope it's not accurate; the prophecy would not only mean that Trump and Vance are about to be killed (which would be bad enough), but also that the next three leaders will be truly horrible and tyrannical, Luke nothing that western nations have ever seen. On the other hand, if it does happen, it means we're just that close to the second coming of Christ, and things will get a lot better afterward, but not before getting a whole lot worse in the short term.
Either way, we'll find out soon enough! Thanks for reading all of that!
