Nostradamus as A Course in Miracles


When I first met the woman who is now my wife, I told her all about what I was doing trying to get the message sent by Nostradamus known by all.  One of the first things she asked me was, “Have you read A Course in Miracles?”  I told her no.  She tried to fill me in as much as she could  verbally, but later she actually put her copy of the book in my hands.

I must admit, I am very peculiar and extremely selective of what I read.  If I want to read a book, I go out and buy it and read it cover-to-cover.  As far as book reading goes, when the number of books I have read is compared to the number read by a typical book reader, I can be deemed “illiterate.”  The knowledge I have about most classics of literature comes from having seen an old movie with the same title.  Because of that aversion to reading things that entertain others, when I was handed a copy of A Course in Miracles, I felt obliged to thumb through it, but no more.

It seemed interesting, what little I read as I flipped through the pages; but … it was like the joke I once heard a comedian tell: “When two old Jewish men meet, the conversation goes like this: Man 1: ‘Oy my back hurts.’ Man 2: ‘Your back?  My knees!”  In other words, because I was so deep into writing about Nostradamus, and trying to get others to read what I was writing, I had no time to read something someone else was trying to get me to read.

I will say this: As I thumbed through the book my wife handed me, I made a wish.  I wished to one day have the time to read more.  No guarantees that I would read it all, but I wanted to read more … some day.

That day came not long ago.  Just from reading the first 20+ pages, I could see truth pouring out.  The words published in 1976 (Second Edition in 1992) were explaining what I had been doing since late 2001.  It was a confirmation of my work.  The book was explaining how I could be understanding Nostradamus AND it was explaining how everyone else can also understand Nostradamus, with or without my help.  In its own way, it said Nostradamus wrote a Revelation, with his understanding coming directly from God.

The book says that miracles are for uniting “brothers.”  As such, that is the relationship between Nostradamus and myself, and I extend that relationship with Nostradamus as a relationship between myself and you.  We all must receive the Holy Spirit in order to understand.  The Holy Spirit is the channel Christ uses to pass Revelation from God to each of us … Nostradamus, myself, and you.

Now, I have spent years writing many pages of words, all trying to sum up a topic that A Course in Miracles explains is impossible for me to explain.  Because Revelation is so personal, it cannot be translated by me, for you, in a meaningful way.  For all I write, so much more is left unwritten.  For me to go into great depth explaining Nostradamus is futile.

All I offer by translating Revelation is experience.  I have experienced the miracle passed on by Nostradamus.  I have been moved to act because of that and the book explains that God, through Nostradamus, intended the miracle of action.  I cannot induce you to act, because action requires a deep emotional, personal connection.  As the book states, “A miracle is a sign of love among equals.”  I felt the love of Nostradamus, and so can you; but you have to feel the love to act and create another miracle.

I recommend everyone read A Course in Miracles.  However, I want to pass along a little of information that comes from the preface to the book.  It was quite meaningful to me.

The preface was written in 1977, and came about in order to answer repeated questions about the source for the book (originally published as a three-volume set).  Two psychologists had teamed up to write it, but the names of neither appear on the cover.  Both simply sensed a need to find something meaningful to life.  One author, a woman, described herself as having, “atheistic belief,” with both caught up in the unfeeling world of academia.

After stating a desire to know the meaning of life (to the Universal Mind, I presume), the woman began to have dreams, which she wrote down in a journal.  The title of the book came when she read her notes and made the declaration, “This is a course in miracles.”

The woman explained in the preface that she heard a “voice,” which made no sound.  She said, “It seemed to be giving me a kind of rapid, inner dictation which I took down in a shorthand notebook.  The writing was never automatic [meaning her hands were not moved to write without her willing them to write].  It could be interrupted at any time and later picked up again.  It seemed to be a special assignment I had somehow, somewhere agreed to complete.”  (written by Helen Schucman  published on page viii of the “Preface,” under the heading, “How It Came.”  Published by the Foundation For Inner Peace)

That explains how I have imagined Nostradamus writing The Prophecies.  It explains precisely how I have written what I have written over the past decade-plus.  It is how everyone can be likewise inspired to understanding, when one asks for guidance and is willing to listen to the quiet voice.

Such a guide was explained by Paul in his letters, found in the New Testament.  He wrote how there are gifts the Holy Spirit brings to believers.  In A Course in Miracles, it tells of the demands placed upon believers.  It says, “You are free to believe what you choose, and what you do attests to what you believe.”  (Page 7, Chapter 1, Part II, Section 1).

I believe in God, and I believe God spoke through Nostradamus, producing a Revelation that all should be aware of.  I write this as an act of love for a brother to read, and for a miracle to bond our relationship.  It does not matter if I know if I have passed this miracle along.  I have acted from my belief.

Quatrain III-33


I randomly chose Nostradamus’ quatrain III-33 because it represents the number three, cubed.  It is 3-3-3.  That was the only reason I read this quatrain and decided to write about it here.

It is a quatrain that few have pondered seriously, with most translations saying the same thing.  This is because there are no difficult words to translate.  Other than some minor syntax differences here and there, this quatrain is translated the same by everyone, and everyone offers little in the form of saying, “This quatrains means this.”

Quatrain III-33 has actually already come true 100% and very evidently so.  The problem has been (as is always the case) not looking at something that looks so obvious (easy translation) and realize it is not that.  The same twenty-five words can be translated in perfectly acceptable alternate ways, so that it becomes easier to see the meaning.  I will present the original Old French (French) text and then show my translation.  I recommend if you are reading my translation, go to any website that shows translations of Nostradamus’ quatrains and see the difference.  After I have presented my translations, I will then list what each line of the quatrain is saying.  Keep in mind this quatrain was published in 1555, with none of it beginning before the 20th century, and everything having happened by the end of the 20th century.  So, it can be double checked in the history books.

Here goes the French:

III-33

En la cité ou le loup entrera.

Bien pres de là les ennemis seront:

Copie estrange grand pays gastera.           

Aux murs & alpes les amis passeront.

Now my English translation:

Upon here warned to appear where him ravenous companion will have access.

Possessions neighboring there them adversaries will be remaining:

Duplicates foreign substantial nations will pervert.

To them walls & high mountains them lovers will be carry over.

Now this is the events that were prophesied and came true.  See if you can see this in the translations.

This quatrain prophesied:

1.) The fall of Russia to Communism, and the developments that went from early leaders (Trotsky and Lenin), leading to the “ravenous companion” Stalin.

2.) The forced annexation of the smaller nations bordering Russia (militarily influenced) leading to the creation of the Soviet Union, plus the end of World War II leaving Russia with territories occupied in the nations of Eastern Europe.

3.) The forced Communist governments in lands that had never known that style of rule, having had long histories as parts of the Roman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, reducing those once proud nations into shadows of their former selves.  This included the Soviet military assisting to quell uprisings in Hungary (1956) and Prague, Czechoslovakia (1968).

4.) The strong-armed maintenance of the figurative Iron Curtain, which became realized in the literal sense with the building of the Berlin Wall (1961), such that exit from those controlled countries, to the free world, was so difficult and dangerous that only loved ones would try to escape or attempt rescues.

Now, with that said, one has to realize that finding out about the creation of the Soviet Union – after the fact – does nothing to help the world through prophecy.  While the perfection of the past is and should be ample reason to believe the source is divine (no human magician really has a clue what the future will be like in 400 years), the miracle of all Nostradamus’ quatrains is the depth of truth that comes from each.  All can have the effect of projecting the future, as a mirror of the past.  Quatrain III-33 is a good example.

In The Prophecies there are set themes, which tell how the world will decay through the fall of Christianity and the rise of the “enemies” of those “great nations” who claim to be Christian (talk the talk), but will not act Christian (walk the walk).  One theme is then the rise of Communism, led by the Soviet Union.  The Soviet Union will plot the end of the world, which is seen in the Arms Race and Cold War period.  It is an evil that the Church of Rome was “warned to appear,” lest Russia be re-consecrated, by the miracle of the apparition of the Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917 and on the eve of the Russian Revolution.  The Church failed … Hitler failed to do the Church’s job for it (siding with the Devil) … thus the greatest danger the world has ever known thrives, and it has built weapons that can destroy the earth.  The sub-plot of The Prophecies is then the secret alliance an atheist philosophy will develop with Islam, in a war against what they deem the “Great Satan” – the United States in particular and the Western world in general.

The quatrains of The Prophecies tell these stories, when they are put together in an order of story.  I have written books that give good examples of this connection of quatrains – The $25-Million Answer and Nostradamus & Our Lady of Fatima are two (both available in print on Internet booksellers).  Part of this plot involves pretending the Soviet Union breaks apart and becomes poor little weak Russia and all its loose babies, all in need of a helping hand and salvation.  It is all a continuation of the economic war that was an underlying aspect of the Cold War.  Ronald Reagan did not single-handedly defeat the Soviets – they “took a dive” as the next phase of economic attack.  The re-unification of the Germany’s (with a former Communist the reigning Fuhrer now – Angela Merkel) was critical, as East Germany was the Soviet’s prize student.  All of that release was to drain the West of its economic strength and to plant enemies inside the nations of Western (Christian) ideology, to be activated at a later date – whenever the plan was well entrenched.

That is where the world stands today.  Stand up above the crowd of your normal selfish day and take a peek around you.  It is impossible to tell who is friend and who is foe.  Thus, from that fresh perspective, take a look at how quatrain III-33 not only perfectly prophesied the past, but shows how the present is entangled with that past, which projects cause for the future based on the creation of the Soviet Union and it being allowed to grow and thrive.

Again, the French text:

III-33

En la cité ou le loup entrera.

Bien pres de là les ennemis seront:

Copie estrange grand pays gastera.           

Aux murs & alpes les amis passeront.

Now a new version of an English translation, using the same scope of each word’s possibilities of meaning:

Upon here cited to appear either it greedy companion will begin to put itself into.

Wealth near there them enemies will be existing:

Copying alien lofty nations will turn upside-down.

In them defensive protections & mountainous boundaries them allies will be holding on a course.

Let your eyes adjust to the new information.  Think of today’s headlines in the news, such as immigration issues, economic worries, the threats of terrorism, and wars ongoing in the Middle East.  Then, see these four lines in this light:

1.) The release of foreigners to the West (from the Middle East and Eastern Europe) was (in effect) by edict, plan, or citations.  The “greed” is to win at all costs.  The plan is for foreign agents “to enter” places they were previously forbidden, mixing in with those who are not in on the plan, but easily recruited once part of a Capitalist society that rejects those alien to that form of government.

2.) By being “nearby” to the institutions of health care and social security, the savings of the West – its financial security from “Possessions” and “Goods” – will become taxed and drained by this influx of those who are the new indigent and poor.  They will not see themselves as the friends of the State, but enemies ready to protest attempts to restrict their “Benefits.”

3.) While having a presence in nations that had clearly been enemies to the East, aliens will take employment within key institutions for the purpose of spying and gathering information that could be useful in a future plan of attack.  The objective is to reverse the advantage of the West, through its Riches – including research and development and technology.

4.) Once inside the Defense Agencies, whose “walls” of protection will be weakened, the presence of the lower case “alpes” can be read as the natural borders of most Western European (land of the “great”) “nations,” but the lower case is more rooted in the cause behind the naming of the Alps – the meaning is “high mountains.”  What once had been impossible for the Soviet Union “to surmount” will now be easily climbed and “passed over.”  This is all based on a “course” or plan to defeat the West and “destroy” it.

See if you can add to what I have listed.

Update: In my recent work that is interpreting all of the 950 quatrain (1cinquain), I now see the future meaning of this quatrain. The “wolf” must be seen as a man of the cloth, as a “wolf” in sheep’s clothing. Because Rome was founded by a “wolf” suckling Romulus and Remus, this “crude fellow” or “ravenous fellow” (metaphor for a “wolf”) this means one who will be the latest version of a false pope. The word ou (read as ) means “in what place” is Vatican City. Line two then places focus on those who will listen to the B.S. spewed from a man expected to be a saint and “Rightly nearby to here” (France, where Nostradamus wrote), there “will be rising adversaries” to such an evil man. Line three then places focus on the issue placed before this pope, which is an “Abundance of foreign” people. This is then the important issue of illegal immigrants that are now at every street corner in the Free World, waiting to get the call to destroy it. The “substantial” of Western Europe, which is the Milan money center of Italy, will be on the verge of insolvency, due to millions of illegally entered Muslims demanding more, for nothing returned. This is the plot to destroy the West from within. That “corruption” will then lead the “country” or “land” of Italy to divide, as the ‘Papal States’ will remain true to the pope, no matter how much Socialist crap flows from a pope’s mouth. The pope will not tell Christians to kick the bastards out now! Instead, he will say, “Go broke giving the poor everything you have.” This split will then (line four) bring “In them” seceding (the Celtic northern regions) “wall” of defense, which will keep the illegal immigrants in containment camps, until a plan for deportation is created and approved by the E.U. Meanwhile, France will volunteer to send its troops into this newly formed Celt-land, as “dear companions,” sharing Celtic heritage. It will then be the French military “passing” or “transporting” military personnel and equipment between the “high mountains” that separate northern Italy from France, Switzerland, Austria, and Croatia. This will be along the Por River valley. This movement of troops will be the beginning of the end; as it will piss off the mastermind of this long-range plan (ObL). The illegal immigrants will be freed by invading Eastern European Communists, in a surprise invasion; and France will be left without its troops to defend France. Those sent into Italy will be totally destroyed. The End Times will begin, with no turning back for Salvation after this step is taken.

Nostradamus and the migration of peoples


I posted this article a while back, because this issue has been ongoing for well over a decade now (June 2025). Currently in the news are protests in Los Angeles, over the justice department beginning a campaign to clear the United States of an estimated ten million (maybe more) illegal immigrants. The people who want the United States to be dead and gone are paying professional protesters to do rebellious activities. While this is after people protest at universities in the northeast states, complaining about the Israelis possessing Palestine, this too must be seen as part of this migration of peoples, where Muslims and Christians or Communists and Republicans (meaning “of or relating to a republic rather than to a monarchy, tyranny, oligarchy, etc.” Merriam-Webster) are like oil and water. They do not mix. Great Britain has become overrun with migrants that gleefully scream at their selfie podcasts, “This nation will soon be ours!” It is a danger that has been allowed to grow. It is not by chance.

With that stated, here is an article I posted prior:

—–

For anyone who is wondering if Nostradamus wrote anything about the recent wave of immigrants flooding into Europe – in particular the ones coming from Syria (although the news is still reporting boats with African immigrant dying after an overloaded boat here and there capsizes and everyone drowns, with others rescued).  The answer is “Yes.”

The problem is Nostradamus was not so specific – or limited – to just those becoming worrisome today.  In fact, one can say much of the cause and effect of the main story of The Prophecies is based on illegal immigration, and the problem that creates.  However, to fully grasp what Nostradamus was told (by a higher source) to write about, one has to have some knowledge of history; and, even though the warning is: “If you do not learn from history, then you doomed to repeat it,” few people today realize today’s events are just another swing of the pendulum, as far as population mobility is concerned.  Look up the history of migrations of Christians, Muslims, and Jews, beginning when Assyria scattered the tribes of Israel to the four corners of the earth.  The exiles and refugees began then and today is just another phase.

Okay, if the French (Old or Middle French) scares you, then think about how Christians never read the Holy Bible. Atheists can quote Scripture better than people who say they are Christians, but are merely pewples in some fancy building. The books of the Holy Bible are actually written in Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament) and many who pretend to shepherd the flock have no fluency in those languages. I have no ability to speak conversational French, but I take the time to translate every word of Nostradamus’ works into a language I can grasp. Try to immerse yourself in the actual text and try to meditate your soul into seeing more is there than meets the eyeballs.

Without much ability to read French, it should be clear these above quatrains (25) state understandable words that are: exiles, banished, migrants, refugees, and chased ones. This is referencing the massive waves and floods of illegal immigrants, from Muslim lands to the Christian world. Throw in some Communists Chinese and Socialist Venezuelans, with others sneaking in weapons to store secretly, to be passed around when these ‘poor asylum seekers’ need to be armed and send out to murder civilians and you begin to see what the End Times of Nostradamus are warning of.

Nostradamus and Myrmidons


Preface Note: (June 2025) As stated in this brief article, the possibilities of Myrmidons in The Prophecies of Nostradamus is minor, but there. Because this article is so brief, it becomes an exercise of commitment that true students of divine Prophecy do their homework (gladly and desiringly) and ponder the elements that are quatrains VII-01, IX-35, and X-08, as well as the tiny fragment of the Epistle to Henry II (King of France) that says, “&  par voyle marine fera ses extensions a la Trinacrie Adriatique par Mirmidons”.

What I want to place before your eyes now is the image of an ant. The word Myrmex in Greek means “ant.” Merriam-Webster says of this, “The Myrmidons, legendary inhabitants of Thessaly in Greece, were known for their fierce devotion to Achilles, the king who led them in the Trojan War. Myrmex means “ant” in Greek, an image that evokes small and insignificant workers mindlessly fulfilling their duties. Whether the original Myrmidons were given their name for that reason is open to question. The “ant” association is strong, however. Some say the name is from a legendary ancestor who once had the form of an ant; others say the Myrmidons were actually transformed from ants. In any case, since the 1400s, we’ve employed myrmidon in its not-always-complimentary, ant-evoking, figurative sense.”

Let me add to that guesswork about the reason the soldiers who followed Achilles were mindless, like “ants.” Ants live in tunnels within the ground. An ant farm (if they still have those) was a glass box filled with dirt and ants, so one could see their creation of ant ‘cities’ underground, with the ants all doing their mindless ant-programming within the colony of ants. Now, think of the man Osama bin Laden and his Mujahideen and then al-Qaeda. They did a lot of things underground, in caves and tunnels. When you see this, think of these references to Greek mythology being applied to modern realities.

With that said …

[This article was originally posted in June 2016.  The update in ‘the year of Coronavirus fear’ makes bracketed corrections to what was stated four years prior.  Time passes and things change.]

I am working on a lengthy article that will be posted on the Katrina Pearls website [long defunct now] that anchors on Nostradamus’ use of the word Myrmidon. In Greek mythology, a Myrmidon was a soldier people created by Zeus, crafted from ants. These ant-like warriors were subservient to the hero Achilles during the Trojan War. The common usage of “myrmidon” is: “A faithful follower who carries out orders without question.”

Nostradamus wrote “Myrmidon” as the last word in quatrain IX-35. He or the publisher placed “Myr.” as the second word of line three, in quatrain X-08. I believe that abbreviation is for “Myrmidon.” Additionally, Nostradamus wrote the name “Achilles” only once in the quatrains, as the first word of the main theme statement in quatrain VII-01. All of these can be tied together to tell a story of what we face in the future, based on circumstances that have come into being in our past.

The story that can be found in these three quatrains requires a grasp of the themes present in the whole of the quatrains. This means it is most important to see that wholeness and realize that one cannot play magician and pick out any one quatrain and boldly state what that means (as Nostradamus sensationalists enjoy doing). Any “hypothesis” about the meaning demands that one also state how Nostradamus made overt statements that support those hypotheses or guesses. That comes from the letters Nostradamus wrote that are attached to The Prophecies.

In reference to this matter of Myrmidons, Nostradamus wrote the word “Mirmidon” in his letter to Henry II of France. That letter is Nostradamus’ statement of what one can expect to find in his quatrains – all of which come from the Mind of Christ , as Nostradamus was filled with the Holy Spirit of God. The series of words that link to “Mirmidon” in the Henry letter act as a separate explanation of how soldiers – like the Myrmidons of Achilles – will begin another “siege” of an impenetrable fortress, preparing for the final attack that will rout those within “secure walls.”

This theme is currently in effect, and has been for many years, via the immigration of refugees into Europe (and all other places closely aligned with the West). In particular, one quatrain places focus on Africans, who will funnel through Sicily. Others are said to flow across the Adriatic Sea, which can somewhat be recognized as the recent flood of Syrian refugees into Europe. Quatrain X-08 states that the “Myrmidons” will be “armed” or “provided with weapons.” They will not only become cells ripe for terrorism, but part of a grand plan to act as an enemy force in position behind European defensive lines, capable of creating havoc once an invasion begins.

Quatrain IX-35 implies that some military maneuvers will take place to counter this underground enemy (another theme in other quatrains), but the threat of danger will not be taken seriously and great losses will occur. I believe that the greatest tragedy will be when Europeans will be incapable of defending themselves, due to decades of gun controls and a total dependence on national armies to defend the borders.

Currently, I am having medical issues and writing is difficult [over now]. I will announce when the article is posted to the website [that time has come and gone]. However, as I see some read this blog from all around the world (many in Europe), I felt the need to post something now. [Oh well.  The problem is here too now, so Europe can deal with their own self-caused suicide.]

Quatrain VIII-61


Nostradamus and the Trinity

This is a synopsis of an article that is posted on the Katrina Pearls website (no longer linked). It is an interpretation of Nostradamus’ quatrain VIII-61, which few have ventured any kind of guess that this prophecy has anything to do with modern times, much less the future.

The Old French shows:

          Jamais par le decouvrement du jour
          Ne parviendra au signe sceptrifere
          Que tous ses sieges ne soient en sejour,
          Portant au coq don du TAG amisere.

A typical translation has been :

          Never by the revelation of daylight
          will he attain the mark of the scepter-bearer.
          Until all his sieges are at rest,
          bringing to the Cock the gift of the armed legion.

Notice how a four-lined poem has disintegrated into two run-on sentences, arranged in four lines. Capital letters disappear in places and magically appear in others. A period shows up where none existed before. Such translations, while cherry-picking quatrains in a vacuum, as if each quatrain is separate and isolated from all the rest, leads to foolish interpretations not worth repeating.

It is actually impossible to place a written translation of any quatrain written by the hand of God – through a prophet – as the mere suggestion that this IS THE translation limits the multiplicity of meaning that God’s word has. All of the books of the Holy Bible are translated as a starting point from which deeper meaning will come. In that regard, here is a suggested jumping off point for quatrain VIII-61:

An everlasting age through him perceiving far off of the light
          Born will come forward in the world with the presage scepter-bearer
          That all his seats issuing out of may be in lingering,
          Carrying in the Saint Peter’s fish gift to the DAY [they will] have let go.

Now, in Nostradamus’ letter that explained The Prophecies, he wrote superlatives where the French word “tres” was added. The translators say he addressed King Henry II as the “most powerful,” “most victorious,” “most prudent,” “most wise,” “most great,” “most high,” and “most peaceful.” Unfortunately, King Henry II was a mere mortal (royal as he was), and all of those superlatives must be seen as references to God. Likewise, in the first line of quatrain VIII-61, one must see “An everlasting age” (from Jamais, meaning “Ever, A mighty while, or A very long time”) is a timeframe only possible for God to attain. The capitalization of Jamais adds to that conclusion.  Seeing the article “le” as the masculine pronoun “him” (rather than simply “the”) allows the main theme to address God the Father, whose “discerning” began with the Creation. Thus “of the light,” where “light” is a use of “day,” seeing the multiplicity of “from the day,” this points to the seventh “day,” the one blessed and made holy by God.  God created the “light” that would be seeded upon earth, through Adam – the Son of God descended.

This then leads to the “Birth” of a lineage of religious priests who would faithfully serve the One God. Again, capitalization of Ne (read as , the masculine form for matters relating to “Birth”), this relates to an important one “Raised.” The story (or saga) of that lineage IS the totality of the Holy Bible. The New Testament tells of the Messiah – prophesied in the Old Testament – being “Born,” as the one foretold who would “come forward in the world,” as the one who “will attain,” being the one “marked” or “prophesied” to come as the “king” (the “scepter-bearer”) of the Jews. Therefore, line two’s secondary theme is focused on the presence of Jesus Christ in the world.

Jesus becomes King over one’s soul-flesh, making the scepter he holds being ones brain. As Lord within, he commands and one Acts.

From line two our eyes are led to an important “That,” which reflects back on the “scepter-bearer” – Christ the King – whose presence remains on the earthly plane through “all” whose lives have been devoted as “his.” Their sacrifice of self-ego opens their hearts to God and their minds to Christ, such that their physical bodies become the “seats” for the Holy Spirit to “reside.” These are the Apostles who are reborn, thus Jesus is again “issuing out of” those bodies that are unrecognizable as Jesus of Nazareth, as unrecognizable as was the spirit of Jesus who walked the road to Emmaus with relatives of Jesus of Nazareth, without them once seeing a body filled with the same spirit. Thus, line three becomes the presence of God the Father and Christ the Son in those who receive the Holy Spirit. This means Nostradamus (as a prophet of God) has stated the process of the Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Line four then becomes a statement about how the Trinity remains on the earthly plane. It is not by God’s will, but by the sacrifices of those who are transformed from disciples to Apostles. It is they who are “Carrying” or “Bringing” the presence of God and Christ to others, spreading the Gospel that Jesus still lives. This is the story of the Temple Tax, from Matthew 17, where Jesus told Peter to catch a tilapia (“coq”) and take two shekels from its mouth to pay the tax for the two of them. That payment is the sacrifice Christians make for others, so they are given the “gift” of the Holy Spirit, for the purpose of “giving” it to those seeking salvation. This sacrifice or Temple Tax for being the “seat” of God must continue until the “DAY” of Reckoning, when they may “give up” their mortal bodies and find “An everlasting age” with God.

Still, the multiplicity of God’s words allows one to see that wonderful sermon just expressed about Salvation transform into the reality of today, where the world is headed towards ruin and “Armageddon.” The combination of “Jamais” (in line one) and “Ne” (in line two) turn “An everlasting age” in “Never,” such that “Never will mortals see the light of Jesus.” This means nothing “will come” and no one “will attain” the “sign” ruled by Jupiter (the scepter-bearer of Roman mythology). Jupiter rules over Sagittarius and Pisces, both signs of religious worship – dogmatic and ordered, as well as faithful and psychic. Without the people becoming the “seats” of Christ, that role will be left up to men who sit on thrones of power, in temporary “residences” as holy men. They will be like the Vatican rulers who led Martin Luther to protest the indulgences of Temple taxes, designed to build opulent buildings at the expense of men’s souls. This mismanagement by priests, scribes, and holy leaders focused on worldly things, will cause the “DAY” when all “will be lost.”

This alternate interpretation is how Nostradamus wrote in his Preface about the future being brought about by changing times, when the leaders of society – reigns, sects, & religions – will become opposite in nature, diametrically. The two versions show us the present and future, one with failure as the result, but one with salvation as the result. While it may be too late to save the world, it is not too late to save one soul – yours.

Again, this is a synopsis of a much deeper interpretation that once was found at my website, since retired. It is listed as “Interpreting Quatrain VIII-61,” with the subtitle “Nostradamus and the Trinity.”

Note: Let me add that this one quatrain is not the only reference Nostradamus made to the Trinity in the quatrains and letters. In the Epistle to Henry II (King of France) there are found split in two parts of that letter what seems to be some ramblings about the lineage from Adam to Jesus. What that lists are Saints, each of which was the embodiment of a Trinity – Father pouring out His Spirit upon a soul in flesh, Son being reborn within that soul in flesh, and a Sacred (Saintly) Spirit that is the soul in flesh married to Yahweh and reborn in the name of the Son Jesus. Jesus was a Trinity but so too was Moses, Aaron, Joshua, Samuel, David, Elijah, Elisha, Ruth, Esther, and all the first Christians (including three Marys). In the quatrains the number “three” can be read in that light of meaning, where a Trinity is divine possession by Jesus and a trinity (lower-case) is a demonic possession (Satan, evil spirit, terrible person as one). The number “three” is written fifty times in the quatrains, with ten capitalized (Trois) and forty in the lower-case (trois). Still, multiple additional meanings can come from that number, meaning there is a spiritual drive and an outer manifestation.

Nostradamus did not predict the Italian earthquake in Umbria


In October 2016 the central region of Italy, in the mountains (Apennines) between Lazio and Umbria, an earthquake struck, which did major destruction to the non-earthquake-proof buildings there. Because ever worldwide tragic event like this becomes news in the United States of America, plenty of people jump the gun and begin claiming, “Nostradamus saw this!”

When my wife and I (along with her family) toured Italy in a bus in 2009, our guide was from another place in Italy (south of Rome), where he told us still had not recovered from an earthquake. After that, I heard how houses could be bought for basically nothing, as long as one pledged to rebuild (to new codes I guess). The point is Italy has a major faultline run right up the gut of the peninsula, which forms the Appenines Mountains.

While I do see Nostradamus writing about a major earthquake, which will open up the earth so deep that long lost Roman Empire underground buildings will be exposed for archeologists to marvel at. That discovery will be more dangerous to the world than the mythical curse of the mummy’s tomb. I see that as in the Aegean Sea region or Turkey, but it could be anywhere the Roman Empire had spread its decadence. So, I do not see that earthquake being in Italy, which led me to write this article back then.

—–

Within the past day, a series of earthquakes struck in central Italy, with the epicenter in the Umbria region, closest to the town of Norcia.  In the bordering region of Lazio, the town Amatrice has been devastated, with over 70 lives known lost and many more still missing. Because Nostradamus is generally known to have “predicted” earthquakes, and more generally known to have foreseen the future, people swell to the Internet to do searches for answers to the question: Did Nostradamus predict this earthquake.

In regard to that question, let me say the answer is a clear, “No.” As terrible as a 6.2 earthquake is, and for as many 500-year old mud-brick buildings that collapsed under such trembling, the earthquakes Nostradamus prophesied will be Richter scale giants (I imagine 10’s). They will be earth changing in more than small geographic areas or regions. Island may appear in the sea, while peninsulas could disappear under water.  Ancient ruins will be exposed when these earthquakes occur, changing the worldview on how old civilization is on this planet. If Nostradamus saw earthquakes of great magnitude in Turkey and Greece, it does not mean that simultaneously or within a reasonable proximity in time, other major fault lines will also suffer major tremors. California could fall into the Pacific, but Nostradamus was Eurocentic.  God did not tell him to write about the effect of catastrophic destruction in the New World, even if that was glimpsed briefly.  Still, the Umbria earthquake (so far) is not “the big one.”

There are quite a few quatrains that tell of the results of major earthquakes; but there are two quatrains that I will present in short order here, which have an Italian flavor to them. They are quatrains I-87 and I-93:

I-87

Ennosigée feu du centre de la terre,

Fera trembler au tour de cite neufve:

Deux grands rochiers long temps feront la guerre,

Puis Arethusa rougira nouveau fleuve.

One translation (of several possibilities):

Earth shaken deep fire from the middle to the top soil,

Will be to tremble in the tower of city new:

Two great ones rocks long time making there contention,

Then Arethusa [river nymph] will turn red strange stream.

I-93

Terre Italique pres des monts tremblera,

Lyon & coq non trop confederés :

En lieu de peur l’un l’autre s’aidera,

Seul Castulon & Celtes moderés.

One translation (of several possibilities):

Earth Italic [people of Italy] near to them mountains will tremble,

Lion & talapia [Saint Peter’s fish] not mightily ones entered into a union:

Into place of fear the one the other will support,

Only the Pure one [Pope] & Celts moderators.

The main theme of quatrain I-93 (line one) can say, “Action caused by Poseidon fire from the center of the earth.” The French past tense form of the Latin word Ennosgiaeus, which was an epitaph for Poseidon that also means “earth-shaker,” makes the important statement (due to capitalization of the word) that a major earthquake comes from deep inside the earth’s crust, effecting the ground above. While that could be deep underground where water is above the ground (causing a tidal wave or tsunami), the technical reports of the Umbrian earthquake say that it was shallow, and not deep. The deeper the quake, the greater the damage that will occur on the earth’s surface.

In line four of quatrain I-87, the Greek water nymph named Arethusa is mentioned. This could seem to be an indication of Italy, as there is a well named after Arethusa in Sicily. The myth says Arethusa escaped the advances of an attracted ‘lover’ in Arcadia, Greece, with her creating a river underground, which surfacing on the island of Ortygia, in Syracuse, Sicily. There are those who say this well will show petals in Sicily, when they are dropped in the well in Arcadia.  While that has nothing to do with central Italy, the prophecy of that a “new river will flow red” makes a volcano eruption a probable result of a major earthquake.  That in no way is a lock for Italy. Additionally, line two speaks of the “city new” being where the trembling will occur, where many see this as a reference to New York City.  A prophecy of “Two great ones,” who are classified as “rock” strong, can mean “Two” very powerful nations; but this information is the supporting details for line one’s statement about Poseidon earth-shakers, which has less to do with governments of countries, and more to do with the geology of rock formations.

That would mean the “rocks at war for a long time” are more likely large tectonic plates hung up together, with a tremendous build-up of energy needing to be released. Italy has a major fault line of significance, where the Anatolian Plate comes close to where Italy lies on the fault between the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate.  The constant movement of these plates is why Italy is so prone to earthquakes, with volcanic activity also a part of the mix.  Italy is known for Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius, but there are 27 others lesser known volcanoes in the country. Still, a “new river flowing red” would imply a volcano where no previous eruption activity had been known or predicted.

In the main theme of quatrain I-93, we find written: “Land Italian near to the mountains will tremble.” This certainly would fit the scenario of the Umbrian earthquakes, as they are in the land where the Umbri people lived – an ancient “Italic “ tribe. The town of Amatrice is in the Lazio region, which was the land of the ancient Latins. The aftershocks also shook in the Marche and Ambruzzo regions, where other ancient Italic tribes lived. Those who lived in places situated in the Umbrian valley would be considered “near to the mountains,” as opposed to being atop the mountains.  The Apennines create that land that is the peninsula where Italic peoples live. If the act of “trembling” was caused by an earthquake, this main theme would match the recent events. However, line two would indicate the source of the “earth-shaking.”

The red circles indicate where aftershocks have been registered, with the solid red dot the epicenter.

Line two (the secondary theme statement in quatrain I-93) begins with an important (capitalization) focus on a “Lion,” which can be seen symbolically as an indication for Great Britain and the English Lion. Surrounding an ampersand (another symbol indicating an important statement follows) is “coq,” which is a slight indication of France (in a less important role as powerful nation), as well as a slight indication of the Vatican (“coq” is Saint Peter’s fish, of the tilapia of Rome), who are in a somewhat of a loose alignment – thus a “confederation.”  For this to be relative to the shaking going on in the land of the Italians, a confederation between Italy, France, and Great Britain would have to be a result of an major event. The more likely meaning (and this “guess” comes from knowing what other quatrains state) is that the trembling of line one is due to fear of attack, where a confederation is a military alliance.  It is doubtful that the fears here were brought on by an earthquake.

All of this means that Nostradamus did not prophesy the tragic events of August 24, 2016, relative to the earthquakes causing damages and deaths in central Italy. The prophecy of Nostradamus that is clear, while the specific details of a coming earthquake are so nebulous that will only be seen in hindsight, is that the end of the world is coming due to a loss of TRUE FAITH in God, with Christ filling Apostles via the Holy Spirit.

All you naysayers who keep saying Nostradamus never predicted anything that could be known in advance, listen (figuratively) very carefully to what I am about to state.  The future is known to be the end of the world, where the world will no longer be able to support human life as we know it.  Even atheists can see this, as the faithful of science set the Doomsday Clock, based on the news of the world, not what Nostradamus wrote.  This is due to a lack of moral principles leading the hearts of people, because Communism has spread the philosophy of mind control, where the pot calls the kettle black, in reference to religion.  They prefer the State take the place of religion, and the Socialists of the West have done wonders towards destroying Christianity as the “philosophy” that leads the West against the East.

There are no longer any royal kings to guide the people, as we now elect common gutter trash in the name of Democracy, who in turn make laws so they can get rich at the expense of the people. Regardless of the philosophy at hand, gutter trash will always act as gutter trash, because it is built into their DNA. Royal blood had the DNA of Jesus flowing through it, so it was historically compelled (largely through guilt) to act so the will of god would be the law of the lands. Alas, with the mixing of royal semen with titled (but not pedigreed) lasses, whose eggs joined with holy sperm in common wombs, the Williams and Harrys of England are mix-breeds, at best. This decline, along with the removal of royal heads in the name of Zionism … oops, I mean the philosophy that all peasants are equal, as long as the Jews in Geneva call the shots (beginning circa 1776-1789) … there is no true royalty left to call upon God for us, to save the day.

That true royalty had been advised by Apostles who led a real Church of Christ, but that began to erode when the dying Roman Emperors saw new power in that Church.  They usurped that throne, and the slippery slope’s slide began. Men not filled with the Holy Spirit cannot lead others to be filled with the Holy Spirit, so popes ceased being Saints and began being politicians.  While it took many centuries for this element to corrupt the church absolutely, the Church has been absolutely corrupt since it murdered Pope John Paul I (nope … not the one after him, a.k.a. JPII). Therefore, there is no Church that has a true Apostle who can pray to God to save us from this prophecy of doom and gloom before us.

Just like the Church had its ‘Judge’ come, sent by God to correct the course and right the ship (John Paul I – Albino Luciani, from Veneto), and just like the common princess Diana Spencer came to expose the corruption of the British royal family, there would also be sent one who would try to save Democracy from the shadow government that has tentacles in Geneva. That was John Kennedy (and brother Bobby); but as happens these days with God’s anointed ‘modern’ saviors, they all get killed, just as did Jesus. The lesson that we all should be more willing to give our lives in service to the Lord is missed.  We fear for mortal lives that are worthless without the promise of heaven.  That promise only comes after one is filled with the Holy Spirit.

The problem is Jesus died to begin Christianity.  On the other hand, Pope John Paul I, the Kennedy brothers, and Diana Spencer died as symbols that Christianity is dead – as far as having external leaders who will help set the personal agendas of individual Christians.  That lack of leadership means the world is being led to ruin by leaders like Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, Silvio Berlusconi, Angela Merkel, François Hollande, Theresa May, Justin Trudeau, Ali Khamenei, Benjamin Netanyahu, Bashar al-Assad, Recep Erdoğan, King Abdulla of Saudi Arabia, or Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and a plethora of common gutter trash wantabes.

Now, it is all left up to us individually. Earthquakes like the one that leveled Amatrice, Italy show how salvation comes from an individual who gets dirty pulling people from the rubble. It does not come from governments sending in a representative (with entourage)  who make speeches and hot air promises, when all the roads that lead to ancient Italic towns in need are blocked. The prophecy that is clear, which Nostradamus wrote and explained in letters, is you must return to faith in God, through His Son Jesus Christ, or find some future prophecy affecting your life coming true.  It is doubtful you will have the capability or time to do an Internet search to see if Nostradamus predicted your great affliction. Just like earthquakes effect the lives of those suffering through them, because they choose to live in zones that are earthquake prone, you have no excuse for any punishment that sinners bring down upon themselves.  So, make a tragic event play the role of God’s wake up call, to do something now to change yourself … to shore yourself up with righteousness … so you can be the one helping others in need, rather than being under a pile of rubble.

John Hogue the Nostradamus salesman


Let me preface this by making it clear that Nostradamus first published Les Propheties in 1555 (last edition while he was alive was in 1566, but revised in 1568). Simple math says (in the year 2025 now) the name Nostradamus has survived 470 years. Quick! Write down the name of someone else who published a book in 1555. Most likely, that is hard for the typical Tom, Dick, and Harriet to do. Heck, people interviewed on TV shows, asked, “Where was the Vietnam War fought?” cannot answer that. Americans struggle with history; but by golly they known the name Nostradamus!

Most do not know any truth about Nostradamus, but the name has been kept alive (like the caveman given the responsibility of carrying the fire for the clan) by a series of ‘salesmen.’ The first was actually an important woman, Catherine de Medici, who proclaimed (as Queen Regent of France) that Nostradamus was a prophet. Of course, everything she believed he predicted was wrong; but that flame stayed alive. Even the British propagandists used Nostradamus as salesmen telling the British people they would overcome Hitler, while Joseph Goebbles used the name Nostradamus to say the Nazis were foretold to win it all. These modern times have many who have made a name selling their opinions about what Nostradamus meant; and if it wasn’t for Erika Cheetham writing a book promoted by the pop singer Al Steward, I would have never known who Nostradamus was.

John Hogue is the poster child for selling Nostradamus to the world and I do not care how much money he makes off that popularity, like all the rest: EVERYTHING thought about Nostradamus and The Prophecies was wrong. Still, one has to thank this line of salesmen and women for making every Christian hate the name Nostradamus, as if he curled up at the feet of Satan, while doing astrological calculations, while every (once) reputable publisher will not touch the topic of Nostradamus, because nobody buys books with his name. Supermarket tabloids (do they still publish those?) use the name and make stuff up. Still, as the souls sold in Hollywood say, “Bad publicity is publicity,” so “Any publicity is good publicity.”

That’s where I come in. I am between a rock and a hard place. I try to teach how Tom, Dick, and Harriet can learn how to read Nostradamus and understand it; and I do that through books I have written on this topic (self-published as a publisher only for my works). It is so hard getting through all the lies to get someone to listen that most of the time I am speaking to no one physical. Anyhoo, with that said, this is what I published a while back …

Like John Hogue, I believe Nostradamus wrote the truth. Unlike John Hogue, I know Nostradamus wrote the truth differently than John Hogue sees it. John Hogue sees the truth as sensationalism that the History Channel (at least the documentarians who sell products to them) loves to pay for. The two truths are as different as valid reliability and bald faced lie.

Nostradamus wrote 943 quatrains (add six more), which are 4-line verses of poetry, rhyming in an ABAB scheme. The way John Hogue approaches those is to present (at most) fifty quatrains that he has interpreted as being about something specifically known, leaving the impression that everything else is equally accurate. As far as statistical research goes, fifty out of 943 equates to .053% (a little more than five percent, or one out of twenty). A valid and reliable statistic would need to be .60% (sixty percent, or six out of ten), meaning John comes up almost 516 accurately interpreted predictions [quatrains] short. He would need to become very imaginative for that to happen; and the History Channel would have to invest in a year’s worth of non-stop programming to show it all, or begin the new Nostradamus Channel (let Hogue be the producer).

This is the way I see Nostradamus these days. He is like David, who wrote one hundred fifty psalms. The Psalms of David are also poems, just more than four verses and not rhyming (in English). But, if all the Psalms were divided into ten groups of 15 Psalms each, and those were each divided into one hundred sets of verses, the result would still be 150 Psalms of David, just cut up into pieces. As long as the order of everything was maintained, so someone could say, “Here. Read this” and the result would be, “Okay. That is the Psalms of David,” then that exercise would still make the Psalms of David as understandable as they are today.

If that reproduction of David’s Psalms was then tossed up into the air and let to fall into some new, unmarked order and stacked up and separated into ten groups of one hundred, the exact same poems would become very difficult to get meaning from.  Certainly four verses (or so) of a David poem would have meaning, based on the meaning of written words; but the context would be missing, so different views could arise, with the poetic license of metaphor no longer recognized.  That is precisely what Nostradamus wrote: a thousand-(thereabouts)-quatrain story (similar to Goethe’s Faust – auf Deutsch), which initially read like an epic poem.  Then he was instructed by God to make it beyond the comprehension of “the wise and intelligent,” so everything made no sense at all.  Since it was first published (1555 – the first edition), no one has been able to solve the mystery that was intentionally created.  However, today John Hogue is picking up bits and pieces and pretending he knows the context of one scattered piece after another.  That makes John Hogue be like Carnac the Magnificent.

And the meaning of this quatrain is another that will bring a big laugh.

The only way to not make a History Channel production about Nostradamus and it not come off as a comedy skit is to spend three hours delving into explaining what the Preface to Les Propheties says.  That letter is Nostradamus explaining what all the quatrains will be found to tell stories about, before one begins to blindly pretend to clearly understand  what the most enigmatic use of Old French says [the old French couldn’t even understand what Nostradamus meant!].  The Preface (which was how he titled it when his first edition came out) was like the disclaimer or instructions that say, “Read this first, before attempting to put anything together.”  We all know how reading the instructions always comes after many failed attempts of trying to go it alone.  Don’t we?

After one has read those instruction, one realizes that Nostradamus said none of what he wrote was his doings [nope, not a ‘professional futurist’ – whatever that is].  He had not created poetry through the ‘magic’ of his being a marvelous astrologer or secret ‘scrying’ mystic [the Church would have had him killed for that!].  He said clearly that everything came from God.  All Nostradamus did was write down what God dictated it to him [in the voice of Jesus Christ].  That helps explain the title as being THE Prophecies … not a bunch of brain teasing “predictions,” like Eastern guru worshipping [oh so Soso Soho Ohso Osho?] John Hogue likes to make believe … as a book with the writings from a true prophet, not some idiot staring into a bowl of water or a crystal ball.

If the History Channel ever got the balls to do a special only on the Preface, then they could devote a year to a continuing series called, “What the heck do you think Nostradamus’ letter to King Henry of France means?”  The Preface is understandable; but people miss the point of “a preface” and think it is just a letter penned by Nostradamus for his infant son, Cesar, to read. [One year-olds do not read!]  Since nothing in the Preface appears to say, “Quatrain II-24 means this …,” everyone just tosses the Preface aside.  The King of France (Henry II, the one who jousted his eye out and then died) demanded that Nostradamus come explain what Les Propheties meant.  He made that demand as an intelligent royal, who also had intelligent scholars in his court to advise him further; none of them could figure it out, but sales were going through the roof!  Knowing the king’s demand for an audience, Nostradamus also knew that being surrounded by all the king’s men was not a good place to be [in gay Paris, near the Bastille].  Knowing that was a dangerous place to go, Nostradamus wrote a letter to the king explaining everything.  That letter [aka The Epistle to Henry] was like the epic poem, also cut up into pieces and scattered, then rewritten in that random order, creating the most insane thing ever written to a king.  Symbolically, Nostradamus explained The Prophecies without any need to make sense of the letter at first glance.  As a result of that crazy letter sent, everyone then left Nostradamus alone, thinking he had drunk some bad Kool-Aid. Still, that letter, like the quatrains, can be made intelligible by looking at how to put Humpty Dumpty back together again!

The History Channel could make millions selling advertising for a never ending theme.  Call it “My letter to Henry” and make it a live call-in show, where anyone can call in and ask, “Am I on the air?” 

Trying to make sense of that letter is like trying to watch John Hogue make up bullshit on television without bursting out laughing.  The “Epistle to Henry” is a set of detailed instructions about what the quatrains can be found to mean.  Of course, to understand those instructions, one had to be alive five-to-six hundred years later.  No one could even begin to understand what a smartphone would be, back then.  Today, we know what a smartphone is, but no one can decipher the Epistle to Henry; so, that sends everything back to the Preface.  The only problem there is no one today who worships God, which makes it hard to see the profession of Nostradamus, as an Apostle channeling Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit, as viable to a society of heathens.

Still, I know people who read this blog are trying to be the first in the history of the world to solve Nostradamus – and someone did find the million dollars hidden in the Rockies, so miracles do happen – so I’ll tell you what it all means.  It means God prophesied the end of the world because of a complete lack of faith in God and a complete lack of righteousness in the world (not enough to cause anything good overall).  You are living in a self-fulfilling prophecy that is all your fault [along with all the others like you].  Every one of the quatrains are able to be repeated: for example Hitler repeated Napoleon’s mistake of getting caught in a Russian winter unprepared.  Even though that has happened twice before, pretty much in the same steps, the world will repeat that again.  So, everything John Hogue says is only half true.  Anything that gets a heathen to understand the power of God speaks the truth, with the truth saying some nasty, hard, terrible shit is coming to all who do not change (see the story of Jonah prophesying to the Ninevites as how to avoid it all – temporarily), the half-truth of John Hogue is meant to get people to fear the end of the world and return to God [Yahweh].  Only fools want to see the end of the world come, EXACTLY as Nostradamus wrote, in order to believe: Hey, that guy was right on!

Since that will not happen (blame it on the History Channel), all of the quatrains will be understood when they are happening and knowing what was “predicted” will be too late to avoid all the terrible things happening.  (Fools rush in where angels fear to tread!)  It will be too late then to blame anyone other than yourself.  So, it all means one of two things: 1.) You are going to die and go to Heaven [from becoming righteous before that time comes]; or 2.) You are going to die and come back to a burning inferno called Earth, unable to leave the hellhole you helped create. 

The choice is yours; but the History Channel and John Hogue hope you choose door #2, because IF television still is a money maker as the world is ending, they can still make money keeping you up to date on what new “prediction” just came true!

It Is Impossible to Argue Nostradamus’ Source – God


While I alluded to this somewhat in the article I posted prior, let me just preface that argument can only be valid if it follows the rules of Logic. I capitalize that because Logic is the cornerstone of all philosophy, and from philosophy comes mathematics. When one wants to argue a ‘dead poet’ (and the quatrains of The Prophecies are 4-line ABAB rhyme scheme poems), a poem or the lyrics of a song can seem to be many things to different people. Logic says ask the question: What did the poet say he or she meant? That is Logical. Nostradamus did that when he wrote his Preface and his Epistle to Henry II (King of France). Therefore (ergo), to say, “Nostradamus meant this,” one must then support that claim by adding, “He wrote that in his Preface (or Epistle to Henry).” With that said …

I did an Internet search this afternoon of the name “Nostradamus.” Of course, many pages came up. I went through about 14 pages, clicking on some of the articles with the more interesting headings, such as, “Did God send the world Nostradamus?” and, “Quack Prophet.” I looked for some articles that went into some detail about why to believe in Nostradamus, or why not to believe. All that I read presented a case for not believing.

As I read these explanations why not to believe Nostradamus, I sensed people needing to influence others how foolish it would be to believe in Nostradamus. The articles were rather detailed, presenting what appeared to be well thought out examinations of the facts others had presented as reason to believe. Their bias made their reasoning against belief in Nostradamus very clear. All articles presented the standard arguments that it is humanly impossible to know the future, meaning that Nostradamus must have used some of the common tricks used by charlatans. Some articles were designed to save Christians from being misled by a false prophet.

From those differing perspectives, quite a few addressed why quatrain I-35 was wrong. In that quatrain, Nostradamus supposedly predicted the jousting accident of France’s king, Henry II. Every one of those articles I read agreed that Nostradamus did not predict that event. However, none of them explained that Nostradamus never claimed to have predicted that event; they all simply explained how the details of the verbiage did not fit the details of the historical event.

I was moved to post some comments on one of the articles, just to make it known that Nostradamus never made the claim that quatrain I-35 was about King Henry II dying at a joust. That event was nothing more than a sad freak accident. If a prophet had been warned of such a happening, it would have been accompanied by a divine command, “Go now and save your king.” Just because Queen Catherine de Medici began telling the world, “Nostradamus is a true prophet because quatrain I-35 is about my husband Henry’s death,” the world has maintained her interpretation as truth. Because Nostradamus did not go public and denounce that interpretation, there is no reason to show as fact that Nostradamus predicted that event. Catherine de Medici started a rumor, which is hearsay and not admissible in a court of logical debate.

Catherine de Medici was a strong supporter of Nostradamus, making him her Counselor and Physician-in-Ordinary

In my comments on that one website, I pointed out that logic demands that one use as evidence some words that Nostradamus put in writing, where he officially claimed the meaning of his work, The Prophecies. He did that in two letters that accompany the “complete” versions of that book. He explained what the quatrains meant collectively, without making any statements like, “Quatrain I-01 is about ….” Thus, it is illogical to argue against the meaning of any individual quatrains, because Nostradamus never explained individual quatrains.

One can explain the meaning of one quatrain by supporting interpretative claims about the meaning of that text. Factual evidence can be as simple as stating the definition of the words written, with that meaning guiding the interpretation. Still, an interpretation is a guess and opinion until one states as evidence something akin to a statement like, “One can assume this interpretation because Nostradamus explained this generally in his letter ….” No articles that I read did anything more than expose the foolishness of some idiot interpreting individual quatrains from The Prophecies, without knowing a damn thing about Nostradamus’ explanation of the meaning of his work.

What angered me most, while reading those Internet condemnations of Nostradamus, were the “evangelicals” who shot flurries of biblical arrows into the air as proof that Nostradamus was most certainly a “false prophet.” While those articles showed some human being playing God by flexing his scripture memorization abilities, not one addressed what Nostradamus clearly stated in his letters, as to how he was able to prophesy. They condemned him for being wrong about his predictions in individual quatrains (thus false prophecy) and they condemned him for being an “occultist,” because he used astrology to calculate his predictions.

Nostradamus stated that his source was not astrology. Perhaps his words about “astronomics” and “astrology” were not as clearly organized as were others that stated his source, but he never explained that he wrote The Prophecies because he used that art form. To draw a conclusion that Nostradamus was a false prophet, because he used astrology, only proves the “false prophesying” going on is by the evangelical writers who falsely reject anyone who states he or she is a true Prophet of the LORD. Blinded by the thrill of self-importance, an evangelical writing without facts, or without testing the facts that are present for falseness, is doing nothing but attempting to distract Christians from a real, true prophecy. After all, the real “false prophets” are the ones who love to make money from people who read their false condemnations of others. That is especially “easy money” when the condemned are dead and cannot sue them for slander.

For that reason alone, I went through the letter of preface and came up with the following statements made by Nostradamus, each prefacing his work. To those who do not understand the word “preface,” it is a document usually written by the author of a book, which explains the scope, intention, and expectations of the book being prefaced. With that known, read the words of Nostradamus and let me know what you think Nostradamus said about his source. Tell me what you think is “occultist” about his statements.

To preface this presentation, everything following is my translation, maintaining the exact word order as the original Old French (as published in the 1568 Lyon edition). This literal translation is not the only translation possible; as many words have acceptable alternate translations (what one would call synonyms). Each segment presented is shown in the order of appearance within the preface, although there is other text to be found between these statements. The double return represents where that other text would be found. (I recommend reading the whole preface, but read this first.)

One can benefit by realizing the systemic use of punctuation. Rather than present these snippets from the preface as the continuous text they appear to be in the actual preface letter, I will use punctuation to separate the words into segments, creating a poetic style. It also acts as a “speed bump,” design to slow reading down. But, the line format makes the letter match the presentations made in the quatrains (4-line poems). It will also be helpful to NOT read an ampersand as a mark simply indicating the word “and.” An ampersand is a mark that makes the statement, “what follows next is important.” Like punctuation, the ampersand symbol will be used to separate text into line format.

Any comments that I add, within the flow of text from the preface, will be bracketed. Words found in parentheses are alternative translations. The italicized words represent the Latin text of Nostradamus; and they correlate to Biblical text. The Latin does not represent direct quotes from the Holy Bible, but are more like paraphrases. Again, reading Nostradamus is best when reading one word at a time, letting images flow from each word, such that there are no “paraphrases,” per se, because that would imply standard sentence structure and syntax. I will place certain keywords in bold, to show how words repeat. Repeating words denote important themes.

The Old French text will not be presented in this posting, as that would make the eyes of typical blog readers weary and unable to maintain focus. A separate post will be made public later, which will only be to show the Old French text. It is my opinion that the 1568 Lyon edition is the edited and correct publication to use, in lieu of an actual manuscript.

From the Preface to The Prophecies:

& that the whole is royal

& guided by the power of God invaluable,

Considering also the maxim of the true Savior:

Be unwilling holy to give dogs,

not to send all pearls before swine,

lest trampled under foot

& to turn around to break apart you.

to the Prophecies:

by the medium of God immortal,

& the good Angels had received the spirit of making predictions of the future,

[the capitalized “Propheties” is to be seen as a distinction between the lower case “vaticinations” – “predictions of the future – which were Nostradamus’ publications prior to The Prophecies]

As for us who amounts humans not powerful ones anything of our natural cognizance

Because these works devine ones,

[The reference to “third malicious” is to the followers of the Fallen Angel, Lucifer.]

but what all will proceed from the power divine of the great God eternal,

to who all kindness proceeded.

And for becoming that the Prophet,

Okay. I saw a theme there, one which said, “God is the author of The Prophecies, and all I did was hold the pen on paper.” Did anyone else see the same? Guess what? If you want to know what the quatrains say, and if you want to know how to read the quatrains so you will see what they say, read the preface and the explanation letter to Henry II. It is all there.

Oh, by the way. Nostradamus makes sure that if you miss the God element of the preface, he repeated it several times in his explanation letter.

See this as pearls before swine and see how well that fits around the necks of televangelists who get wealthy doing nothing for the flock.

Nostradamus’ use of “Vulcan”


In the Preface that Nostradamus wrote, as an introduction to the quatrains of The Prophecies, he included the following (in Old French):

Mais doutant ce qui adviendroit, en ay faict après la lecture, present à Vulcan, que ce pendant qu’il les venoit à devorer la flammé leschant l’air rendoit une clarté insolite, plus claire que naturelle flamme, comme lumiere de feu de clystre fulgurant, illuminant subite la maison, comme si elle fust este en subite conflagration.  Parquoy à fin que à l’advenir ne feussies abusé, perscrutant la parfaicte transformation tant seline que solitare, & soubz terre metaux incorruptibles, & aux undes occultes, les ay en cendres convertu.  

   

This appears to be two typically long sentences, like all found in the Preface, which may or may not allow the reader to follow Nostradamus’ train of thought.

Self-proclaimed Nostradamus expert and celebrant of his expertise in Old French – Peter Lemesurie – has translated this Preface and seen these two “sentences” as stating:

“Instead, for fear what might happen, after I read them I offered them

to Vulcan [i.e. the fire!] such that, while he was devouring them, the

flames that licked the air gave out an extraordinary brightness,

brighter than natural flame, illuminating the house like the light of

a flashing jet of fire as if (the building) had suddenly caught

alight. It is for this reason, in order that you should not be

deceived by studying the supreme transmutation both lunar and solar,

whether of the incorruptible metals under the earth or hidden

underwater [i.e. recoverable from rivers, generally by panning], I

reduced them to ashes.”

(Copied from Yahoo Groups post made public by Peter Lemesurie, with Fair Use rights, for demonstration purposes only.)

The implication of this translation is that Nostradamus had read the pages of history for all times (the Akashic records – a Heavenly document, also known as the Book of Life), and after reading them the pages were burned – so no one else could find them [presumably] – and the fire created a bright blaze, which lit up Nostradamus’ house, brighter than would the sun or moon, or even brighter than the glitter of shiny ores, with the pages of the records reduced to ashes.  This is my personal assessment, based on reading that translation.

Now, this is all well and fine.  It tells a story that sounds like a fairy tale, or at least a flowery tale of how Nostradamus was able to see the future.  After all, this is part of a document that is, “A preliminary statement or essay introducing a book that explains its scope, intention, or background and is usually written by the author.” (One of the definitions of “preface,” as made available by the Free Dictionary by Farlex, sourcing American Heritage Dictionary … again with Fair Use rights, so I do not pretend to make up a definition for an English word).  So, one could assume Nostradamus was introducing his quatrains as having been copied from a master book of records … which no one else can read, because Nostradamus burned it up.

It is my contention that everything about The Prophecies of Nostradamus is designed to mislead, for the purpose of preservation.  Preservation means the use of cloaked language that will render everything senseless – or flowery images and meaningless statements – so no one would feel so threatened as to destroy it … until the time would come for everything to be understood.

Now is the time for understanding, and these two “sentences” should not be read as the “experts” have translated them.  In order to do this, each segment of words (found between marks of punctuation) needs to be seen as its own “sentence,” or even groups of “one-word sentences.”  By this, I mean that “present à Vulcan” should be given deep thought (meditative, rather than seeing those words as bearing little meaning), so they do not get heaped into a huge pile of words that are left to feeble brains to deduce (as did Peter Lemesurie), “Vulcan [i.e. the fire!].”

In those three words, which can translate as, “presence with Vulcan,” “in hand with Vulcan,” or “in view from Vulcan” (among others), the common word is the proper noun “Vulcan.”  That one word becomes the meaning that comes from everything written in Roman mythology about the god named Vulcan.  That becomes a story within a story, as Vulcan is the Roman equivalent to the Greek god Hephaestus, who is said to be “the manufacturer of art, arms, iron, jewelry, and armor for various gods and heroes, including the thunderbolts of Jupiter.”[1]

When you can read that from the one name “Vulcan,” just knowing Vulcan-Hephaestus made lightning for Jupiter-Zeus, it sheds new light on the “flashing jet of fire” (Peter Lemesieure) or reading “comme lumiere de feu de clystre fulgurant” as saying, “like the light of fire from clyster flashing” (where “clyster” means, “injection,” as a “blot” cast from the sky).  This makes Vulcan become more than a representation of normal “fire.”

In fact, Vulcan-Hephaestus lived inside Mount Etna, a “volcano,” which was called the “forge of Vulcan.”  His “forge” was his workshop and where he manufactured all those things the gods loved.  As such, when one reads Nostradamus write, “present à Vulcan,” one can imagine how Nostradamus is telling us that his quatrains are telling about the “presence” of a weapon that itself is like a weapon that came “from the hand of Vulcan.”  This weapon is then one that strikes lightning quick and produces bright light of an unnatural origin.  It is one that produces a “subite conflagration,” or “sudden large destructive fire.”

Interestingly, others have seen Nostradamus writing, “seline que solitaire,” as if that means, “lunar and solar” (Lemesieure), when it says no such thing.  The word “seline” can be read as a name for a Moon goddess, as Selene (based on the Greek spelling – “séléné”), but that is incorrect.  The French use “séline” as a word that denotes white spot under fingernails – that crescent where the nail joins the skin – which is moon-shaped.  Because the word “solitaire” clearly says, “solitary, all alone, without company, or private,” and not “solar,” there is no reason to jump on “seline” as meaning “lunar.”

When the whole segment is read, “perscrutant la parfaicte transformation tant seline que solitare,” one sees a progression being stated, which is beginning with an “investigation,” or “a search through,” or “an examination.”  This is relative to that “abused” or “misused,” or something that has become “disordered” – the meaning of “abusé.”  This “investigating” is then “consummated, accomplished, finished, or perfected,” such that there comes a “transformation,” which is “a changing of form” or “an alteration of shape.”  That change then becomes “so much, so great” or “so many” that it becomes “crescent shaped,” or “moon-shaped,” in a way that is “without company.”

From this way of seeing depth coming from the words, more than meaningless fluff, we see this segment then leads to two segments, each introduced by an ampersand.  An ampersand (particularly in the letters, but also in the quatrains) signals importance.  Thus, the important aspect pertaining to this “singularity” that has a “lunar” shape is important to understand in its relationship to “underground metals,” which are “indestructible.”  This means metallic elements that are buried “beneath” the “earth,” which have “everlasting” or “eternal” qualities, in a way that makes them best kept “underground.”

This “everlasting” characteristic of a “metal” is then importantly stated to be found in “in the waves” that are not visible.  They are “occult,” or “hidden” from view.  They are “present,” but not seen.

Finally, these waves become most prominent when those metals have been turned into cinders, with that conversion releasing those prominent hidden waves.  The waves are not water, but invisible waves of radiation.  They are the product of Vulcan.  They are a weapon that comes from beneath the earth, where nuclear reactions are most safely conducted.

This may look like the moon rising at night, but it is an atomic bomb test made by the United States (the Trinity tests), prior to the atomic bombs being dropped on Japan, in World War II.

What Nostradamus was stating in those two “sentences” in the Preface to the quatrains is: The future will be about the times of nuclear weapons.

When that is known, one can then look at quatrains IV-29 and IX-74, where the word “Vulcan” is used. (Quatrain V-77 is another to consider, as it finds the word “vulcanal” used, which does have a relationship to Vulcan.)

IV – 29

Le sol caché eclipse par Mercure,

Ne sera mis que pour le ciel second:

De Vulcan Hermes sera faite pasture,

Sol sera veu pur rutilant & blond.

IX – 74

Dans la cité de Fert sod homicide

Fait & fait multe beuf arant ne macter,

Retours encores aux honneurs dartemide

Et à Vulcan corps mortz sepulturer.

I’ll leave you to work on that meaning.  Until the next time.

———-

[1] From the Wikipedia article on “Vulcan,” under the heading, “Greek myths of Hephaestus.”  

Postscript: I have discerned quatrain IX-74 and found it to be a profound statement about self-sacrifice for a higher goal. That higher goal is eternal Salvation of one’s soul. The capitalized Dans is an important statement that says “Inwardly,” which is where souls reside. The word cité is to be read as the past participle of the verb citer, meaning the soul has been issued a “warning to appear” in Judgement, based on the actions of one’s life in the flesh. The word Fert is the third-person singular form of the Latin fero, meaning “to carry, to bring forth, or to put in motion.” The capitalization is then an important new “Putting into motion” or “Bringing forth.” When the word sod is read as an anagram for d’os, where Old French used os (in addition to meaning “bone” or “dare”) as the preposition “with,” making d’os say “Inwardly there warned to appear to Brings forth from with homicide.” The word homicide can equally mean “manslaughter,” such that the main theme of this quatrain becomes an important that reincarnation is the “warning” of Scripture, for all who fail to “put into motion” a new body of flesh, animated by an age-old soul. The only way to avoid this is to “Bring forth” a soul that rejects serving the flesh (therefore sins), such that “manslaughter” is not physical “killing” but spiritual “death,” where ‘man’ (males and females alike) bows down in submission to Yahweh, allowing His Son’s soul (Adam-Jesus) to become a soul’s new Lord, thus Savior (the name “Jesus” means “YAH Saves”). The main theme then flows into the secondary theme (without punctuation stopping this flow), where a capitalized Fait must be read as the importance of “Action.” This relates to the Book Acts, whereby souls subservient to Yahweh, reborn with the soul of Jesus, then lived in renewed bodies of flesh (men and women) that were Saints and Apostles in the name of Jesus reborn. Following the ampersand, where the lower-case spelling of fait becomes a form of the verb faire, this is what one “does,” relative to being led Spiritually to “Act.” One then “does” as Elisha did when Elijah called him. I recommend reading 1 Kings 19:19-21, as it tells about how Elisha self-sacrificed in order to become the servant of Elijah, who had thrown his cloak (or mantle) upon Elisha. What one “does” is realize the “penalty ox cultivating born to sacrifice,” where the number twelve is a reflection of moving from the physical to the spiritual level of devotion. Following a comma mark, line three then begins a separate focus, placed on the importance of a “Return again” souls or those “Coming back again.” This is the importance of reincarnation in order to serve Yahweh on the material plane, from having self-sacrificed in a previous incarnation. This forces one to realize dartemide is not a statement about the goddess Artemis but another anagram that must be rearranged to say d’art demie, or “from mystical half.” The soul is half of a body of flesh’s life, as its physical life source. The “mystical half” is when the soul has been joined with the soul of Yahweh’s Son, as Jesus reborn into flesh. Therefore, line three places focus on men like Nostradamus having been saved in a prior life on earth, to serve Yahweh in an important “Return” or “Coming back again,” when he will be possessed “with them high reckonings from mystical half.” In line four a capitalized Et must always be read as a capitalized ampersand, where importance is elevated to a state of most importance to grasp. The a is read as a form of the verb avoir, as importantly stating what one “has” “Returned” to “accomplish.” This is where the capitalized Vulcan becomes an important statement about one’s soul being in possession (“has”) of the “God of fire,” where the aspect of elohim is the Hebrew statement of “gods,” where a soul is a “god” that have become doubled to “gods,” when the Son of Yahweh comes, as the “God of fire.” It is then this presence of a purifying “Fire” that reduces the “bodies of death” (unsaved souls walking in flesh that is bound to die) to their “tombs.” This is a “Returning Spirit” that has come back to save other lost souls; and, this is the purpose of The Prophecies. The Spirit of Vulcan must put your soul and flesh into his Fire, reducing all the impurities of your sins to ash, so your reborn soul can be of service to the gods (souls) still on the earthly plane of existence.

The name Nostradamus


In the Renaissance it became popular for Europeans to assume Latin names.  Because Latin was the official language of the Roman Catholic Church, there can be some who combined the advancements in human knowledge (more a return to classical times when knowledge had prevailed) with the presumed power and influence shown in papal name changes.  A common aspect (in a male dominated world) was to add a –us ending to one’s name.  

The whole name of Nostradamus was Michel de Nostredame.  So, it was a simple task to add the masculine singular ending and becoming known as Nostradamus.  This means understanding de Nostredame is important.

Nostredame is a combined name, coming from Nostre+dame. In Old French, nostre is the same as the modern French spelling of notre.  The form nostra is the future tense of nostre, as “will be ours.” All these words bear the pronoun translation “our.”  The French word dame (Old and modern) means “lady.”  This means Michel de Nostredame was actually named Michael of Our Lady; but, as Nostradamus, it became a statement for the future, saying “One will be of [in honor of] Our Lady.”

Typically, when someone’s last name (one’s specific identifier) in France includes “de,” then that person is identified as having been born in a place. A name like de Nostredame gives the impression that there was a place in France named Nostredame. There is no such place. However, there are many churches in France that bear that name.

In a search of how many churches are in France that bear the name “Our Lady” (Notre Dame), Google returned this at the top of the search page: “Officially known as the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, it’s one of more than a hundred churches dedicated to “Our Lady” (“Notre Dame”) scattered around France – and, like Paris’ Notre-Dame, Chartres’ also experienced a harrowing fire.” (From an article taken from USA Today, about the fire at the Gothic cathedral of that name.) This makes understanding how the father of Nostradamus took on that name.

Nostradamus’ father was named Jaume de Nostredame, with his grandfather being the source of that ‘last name.’ Nostradamus’ grandfather was born Guy Gassonet. Relative to that change of names, the website Geni.com writes:

“Grandfather of Nostradamus.

Guy Gassonet, had converted to Catholicism around 1455, taking the Christian name “Pierre” and the surname “Nostredame” (the latter apparently from the saint’s day on which his conversion was solemnized).

Gassonet was a court physician and Kabbalist who descended from a long line of rabbinical scholars. He was influential in his grandson’s education, participating in Michel Nostradamus’ teaching, which included knowledge in medicine and herbal folk remedies, as well as the “forbidden arts of Kabbalah and alchemy.”

While this information presents the guess, “apparently from the saint’s day on which his conversion was solemnized,” that presumes Guy Gassonet went down to some local clerical name change office, signed some papers, and then someone asked, “What day is this?” Someone then answered, “Oh, its the day of the Feast for Saint Mary, mother of our Lord Jesus Christ.” I do not believe that is how it happened.

I believe a better way of seeing how Guy Gassonet officially changed his name to Pierre de Nostredame, was from realizing forethought on the matter. Preparations beforehand would have scheduled an affair to make it official, to be held in a cathedral named for Our Lady AND also possibly scheduled to be held on the day of her feast [Assumption Day is August 15]. Still, that urges one to ask, “Why choose that name?”

Guy Gassonet was stated to have been a “Kabbalist who descended from a long line of rabbinical scholars.” That says he was Jewish by religious tenets. His “conversion to Catholicism” was due to the Papal-led Episcopal [Bishop jurisdiction] Inquisitions that first took place in southern France in the twelfth century.

By 1455 (the fifteenth century), there had been a slow, methodical history of persecution that focused on the presence of Moors (Spanish Muslims) and Jews within Christendom. This included the genocide of the Cathars (between the thirteenth and early fourteenth century) and the execution of Joan of Arc (May 30, 1431). Between 1309 and 1376, due to the rise of a hostile political environment in Rome, the papacy was moved to southern France [Palace de Papes in Avignon]. Antipopes remained in Avignon (Provence region of southern France) until 1403. All of this unsettled control by the Papacy was what led to this conversion, as the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries was when the Church of Rome discovered how far it could go in persecuting disbelievers of their form of religion. The French Inquisitions [the Cathar extermination, known as the Albigensian Crusade] became the Church’s first attempts to exert forceful restraints on the population; with the successes in France leading to the harsher Spanish Inquisitions (1492 advent).

The aspect of this history then focuses on the Cathars, which was a name given to people that were Gnostic Jews who settled in southwestern France (the region surrounding Toulouse, extending east to northern Italy) in the twelfth century. The Greek root for “Cathar” is “katharsis,” which means “purification” or “cleansing” or “clarification.” It was other Catholics in the region that gave the Cathars that name. The Cathar people were hard working, known as weavers, and for nearly one hundred years southwestern France flourished like it never had before, nor would again after their extermination called for by Rome. It is most likely that Guy Gassonet was a remnant of this heritage that survived the carnage.

The story told of Guy Gassonet is that he was married when he was forced to convert to Catholicism or be expelled from France. As he was already a true Christian (rather than the false breed created by Rome), he chose to remain in France and comply with the recognition as a Christian, rather than remain segregated as a Jew. His wife, as a Jewish woman, refused to convert; so, their marriage was annulled. There is just reason for her decision.

A Jew is born to all Jewish women. Even if a Jewish woman marries a man of another religious faith, the child of such a mixed marriage is always born a Jew because of the mother being Jewish. The Jewish mother takes up the responsibility of teaching the child what it means to be a Jew. For a Jewish woman to deny her birth religion was sacrilegious and not something Guy Gassonet’s wife chose to do; and, it should be assumed that she too was descended from Cathar blood, who were Gnostic Jews that died by the sword, rather than convert. Therefore, she and Guy Gassonet divorced, with him marrying a second wife that was Christian by birth (Nostradamus’ grandmother).

Still, acceptance of this “theory” demands one understand why the Cathar people suddenly arrived in southwestern France in the twelfth century, after having lived as Christian Jews for some length of time in the regions now known as Armenia (southern and eastern Turkey, southern Georgia, western Azerbaijan, and northeastern Persia). To this day a pilgrimage of “gypsies” or “Roma” travel from the Bulgaria region (and other places in Europe) to attend the shrine of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in the Camargue area of the Rhone River. It is this history that gives rise to a new concept of “Our Lady.”

The lore of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer says that a rudderless raft, set sail in Egypt and containing Mary Magdalene, Mary Solome, and Mary Jacobe, along with some male servants [all Apostles of Christ] landed safely in the Camargue. Some say there was no sail also. In a direct route [taking them past the toe of Italy and between the islands to the west of the Italian mainland] they would have traveled over 1,400 nautical miles.

With them was a child named Sara. Some say she was an Egyptian servant girl (perhaps twelve), but others say she was less than a year old. The child’s complexion was dark skinned (thus thought to be Egyptian), so she is called Black Sara or the Black Madonna. This child is believed to be the source of the Holy Blood of Christ (Holy Blood, Holy Grail), who is the Patron Saint of the pilgrims who regularly attend celebrations in her honor and also the Marys’ who landed with her. Those celebrations are held twice annually, in May and again in August each year.

It is my opinion that John the Beloved (the Gospel writer, the writer of epistles, and the writer of The Apocalypse) was the son of Jesus, born of Mary Magdalene (the wife of Jesus). John then married in Egypt [an Essene wedding] and his wife [an Egyptian Jew] gave birth to their daughter, whom they named Sara. It would have then been John’s wife AND daughter named Sara that were on board the raft, which was sent out with the plan being it would sink, killing all on board. It was then a miracle it made it to coastal France; and, it was from that seed being planted there that the Cathars arose, with Guy Gassonet being a direct descendant of Sara.

This means it was a hidden and purposeful choice for his new name, such that “of Our lady” (de Nostredame) was not the same as the Catholic distinction of Mother Mary as “Our Lady.” While also honoring the mother of Jesus by association, the hidden truth is “Our lady” was Saint Sara. The word “sara” is Hebrew, meaning “ruling body,” as a noun from the verb “sharar,” meaning “to retain liquidity.” [Abarim Publications] The aspect of “liquidity” should be seen in terms of holy blood, representing the retention of a most holy bloodline. The Hebrew noun is the root for the names “Sarai” and “Sarah,” which both bear the meaning “Princess.” A princess must be understood to be the daughter of a king, thus of royal blood.

In addition to seeing the importance of name meanings here, it is worthwhile to realize that the name chosen to replace “Guy” is “Pierre,” which is French for “Stone,” while also is the French version of “Peter.” Simon the disciple was named “Peter” by Jesus, with Matthew writing in the Greek “Petros,” and John writing in Aramaic “Cephas.” All of the above brings about a name meaning “Rock,” as the cornerstone upon which a human ‘church’ is built. The “Rock” becomes synonymous with being reborn as Jesus Christ. As such, this means Guy Gassonet took a name that loudly made the statement, “I am a Rock of Our lady,” who was the “Princess of Jesus Christ.” This should be seen as going along with Guy Gassonet being “a court physician and Kabbalist who descended from a long line of rabbinical scholars.”

Additionally, the name Michel is the French spelling of the name Michael. Michael is the name of an archangel that is mentioned in the Holy Bible’s Old Testament three times, all in the Book of Daniel. According to the Wikipedia article “Michael (archangel),” Daniel has a “vision of an angel who identifies Michael as the protector of Israelites.” Then, “Daniel is informed that Michael will arise during the “time of the end.” Nostradamus is known for writing The Prophecies that illuminate the End Times. He did not do that without divine assistance (holy leadership).

The article on Michael then says, “The Book of Revelation (12:7-9) describes a war in heaven in which Michael, being stronger, defeats Satan. ” In the Epistle of Jude, “Michael is referred to as an “archangel” when he again confronts Satan.” These mentions of Michael force one to then look at the Hebrew meaning of the name, which is “Who Is Like God?” or “Who Is Like Unto God?” Only one who is or becomes the arm of God can both confront and defeat Satan.

This then becomes a strong indication that Miched de Nostradamus was named by his father Jaume [a French version of James, meaning “He Who Closely Follows” or “Supplanter” – aka Jacob] to be representative of one filled with God’s Holy Spirit, thus one “Who Is Like Unto God.” James was also the name of a brother of Jesus, which becomes a statement made by Pierre de Nostradamus that his son would supplant him and represent the brotherhood that all Apostles of Christ represent.

As should be seen from all of this analysis, nothing about Nostradamus says he was anything less than a Saint, one who was led to write a Holy book that requires one to also be filled with the Holy Spirit to understand. When that time for divine understanding comes, the end times will be at hand.
