In the Epistle to Henry II (King of France), Nostradmaus wrote the word Antechrist (and antechrist) five times (2 capitalized and 3 lower-case). He wrote the lower-case word twice in the quatrains, once in quatrain VIII-77 and also in X-66. This is the French spelling (antéchrist) that translates as “antichrist.”
In the Epistle to Henry, he wrote:
Puis le grand empyre de l’Antechrist commencera dans la Atila
Then him great empire of the Antichrist will begin within there Atila
deschassant a l’abomination de l’Antechrist,
driving away with the horrible thing from the Antichrist,
qui sera le second antechrist,
which will be him second antichrist,
qui seront par leur ignorance seduitz par langues qui trencheront plus que nul glaive entre les mains de l’insense le susdit regne de l’antechrist ne durera que jusques au definement de ce nay pres de l’eage
who will be through their lack of knowledge seduced ones by tongues which will be cutting more than not any sword between them hands from the unreasonable him aforementioned reign to the to the antichrist not will last whom until with the wasting away of this born close by to the age
bruslez en apres l’antechrist sera le prince infernal,
inflamed ones in after the antichrist will be him prince hellish,
In quatrain VIII-77, line one (main them statement):
L’antechrist trois bien tost annichilez,
The antichrist three quite quickly brought to nothing ones,
In quatrain X-66, line three (supporting details to the main theme statement):
Roy Reb. auront un si faulx antechrist,
Chief Rebel will be holding one in sort false antichrist,
As a junior Nostradamus detective, play with those translations and see if all of the references can be pointing to the same, singular “antichrist.” When you are done there, I want you to contemplate how the Apostle John (the Beloved) wrote in his Epistles (1 John ans 2 John) the word “antichrist” (some form of antichristos or ἀντίχριστος) five times (1 John 2:18 twice, one singular and one plural; 1 John 2:22, 1 John 4:3, in the genetive or possessive case – “of antichrist”; and in 2 John 1:7).
Those say:
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. (1 John 2:18, KJV)
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (1 John 2:22, KJV)
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (1 John 4:3, KJV)
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. (2 John 1:7, KJV)
Please note that John also wrote the Apocalypse (Revelation), but he did not write the word “antichrist” in that Epistle.
When one sees how John was an Apostle, one needs to associate Nostradamus to the same divine state of being. The plural number of “antichrists” is a statement that every Muslim could justify, but to be “anti-Christ,” one needs to be either atheist (which the Jews fill many positions as) or someone within the ranks of Christians who is trying to destroy that way of life. When John wrote his Epistles, he was a true Christian that was attacked by orthodox Jews for his faith that differed from their beliefs.
Here is a picture of a mass gathering of antichrists in 2024.
Just to put a moral on this story, there are many more “antichrists” in the world today than there are true Apostles, like John and Nostradamus. If one denies the Father and the Son, then one turns away from Salvation and condemns one’s own soul.
This term is use in Logic to find an argument fallible. Merriam-Webster says it mean, “having an uncertain or irregular outcome.” Collins Dictionary lists this as it synonyms: “equivocal; uncertain; changing; ambiguous.” Google’s AI Overview hits it on the head by stating, “In general, “amphibolic” means ambiguous, uncertain, or equivocal, particularly when referring to a statement or phrase where the meaning is unclear due to grammatical structure.” That goes on to explain as ambiguous: “The term “amphibolic” is often used to describe situations where the meaning is open to multiple interpretations. This can happen with language, where a sentence’s structure allows for different readings.” As to equivocation they show: “”Amphibolic” can also refer to language that uses words or phrases with multiple meanings, making it difficult to determine the speaker’s true intent.” All of these mean multiplicity of meaning leads to a flawed argument, thus lacking validity.
Television commercials are full of such lack of reasoning, speaking ambiguous words to zombies that will think that bull dung means something is worth buying. Some could then say the same about The Prophecies of Nostradamus, which has them laugh at the premise of prophecy, saying, that could mean anything.
Of course that is amphibolic, because “anything” is an impossibility, when one knows a written word has limitations as to what definitions can apply in usage.
Nostradamus addressed this in his epistle to King Henry II of France. At one point he wrote, “sans y avoir rien mis d’ambigue ne emphibologique calculation :,” which can be translated to say, “without here to have anything put with ambiguous not amphibologic calculation :“. This is a disclaimer that there is nothing in the letters or verses is uncertain or unclear due to grammatical structure. Still, it says everything is purposefully written to appear to be ambiguous and impossible to understand, due to multiplicity of word meanings.
This is why Jesus said, “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” (Matthew 11:25, KJV) That verse alone is an example of amphibolic wording. The “wise and prudent” read “Lord of heaven and earth” and think only in the physical planet “earth” and the space above as some distant “heaven.” The capitalized Greek word Kyrie can only be seen as a repeating of “Father” (a capitalized Pater), when the soul of Jesus is the “Lord” of the “soul,” which is where “heaven” is. The word “heaven” means the spiritual, while “earth” means the “physical,” as a “body of flesh” (made of dust from the “earth”). The “wise and prudent” read the words and think they known the meaning. However, they are wrong, as the truth is hidden from them. That makes “babes” be the innocent souls reborn from above, who cannot think for themselves. The obey what the “Lord” tells them. The “Lord” then speaks the truth of divine Scripture (which includes Nostradamus’ Prophecies) through the mouths of “babes.”
This means understanding Holy Scripture follows the same logical rules as does understanding The Prophecies of Nostradamus. It is divine syntax, not standard. The “wise and prudent” have made reading an automatic process, where their quick brains can read words and instantly know what the meaning is, while just as quickly reading some foreign language (like is divine syntax) and tossing the work away, huffing, “This is rubbish.”
This is why so many reject astrology. It is a divine language. It is an art, not a science. Astrology is amphibolic purposefully. If you do not know the language, you cannot understand anything stated simply. In the quatrains, Nostradamus referred to the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Every one of those words has nothing to do with a light or orb in the heavens. It requires understanding of what those words represent.
Astrology is not a science. It was disproved by the Roman Catholic Church, just because they could not figure out how to make sense of it, in order to profit from its use. Thank the Father from keeping those “wise and prudent” away from the truth of astrology that was hidden from them. The same goes for bonzos that try to act like astrologers, when they do not understand that astrology is like a mirror. It only reflects back to the one looking into it. What one sees in the mirror is not what someone else will see, when the mirror is handed to another to see. This means a mirror is amphibolic; but does that make it not something that can be put to good use, if used properly?
This is breaking news tonight (June 12, 2025). This is something that I must post, because Nostradamus tells a story in quatrains that are about the End Times war, which will be when nuclear missiles will be deployed, in massive numbers.
The thing about Iran developing its own nuclear weapons is what is called a red herring. This means it bears the definition, “a clue or piece of information that is, or is intended to be, misleading or distracting.” (Oxford Languages Dictionary) It is why I posted this picture to one of my articles about the Israel-Hamas mess.
Notice the scythe and hammer?
Iran purchased Soviet nukes that were supposedly dismantled and destroyed, as per the Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty that the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. agreed to, back in the 80s. Well guess what? The U.N. inspectors going to the Soviet Union to witness this process were not allowed to see what they needed to see. The reason? The lying Communists had no intent to lessen their nukes. They were doing that to get the hnest Abe Americans to cut their throats and reduce their weapons of mass destruction.
When the Soviet Union pretended to collapse, over a few porcupine quills from Afghanistan and Reagan’s pretend Star Wars Defense Initiave. Playing dead released millions of Eastern European Communists into the Western nation. Hey Germany, how was that Communist Merkle working out for you? Well, when they went in to inspect this collapse, they found many ‘missing’ Soviet nukes, including suitcase versions.
The Soviets, à la Vlad ‘the Impaler’ Putin, K.G.B. extraordinaire, premier for a few years, president for life of the ‘new Russia,’ sold Iran all the nuclear missiles they could pay for with oil money and the pallets of cash sent to them by Barack Hussein Obama. They had these purchased before September 11, 2001. Osammy been Lammin knew this and planned to declare war on the United States (the Great Satan in their eyes). That would draw the Americans into the spider web that supposedly felled the giant Commies, with the C.I.A. training bin Laden in guerrilla warfare tactics and giving the Mujahideen Stinger missiles to use against Soviet helicopters and tanks. While all eyes were on Afghanistan (then the hoax of Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, rather than Iran), the Russkies were shipping nuclear missiles in parts to North African seaports. Now, all eyes are on Iran trying to build a nuke.
A little logic needs to be applied to this news today. The ONLY reason Iran wants to go to war with the Great Satan is the Great Satan protects the Jews who stole Palestine. Do you think the Iranians would be doing their Palestinian brothers and sisters a favor by nuking Jerusalem and all the places Palestinians want to call home again, after the Jews are removed? NO! They will NEVER nuke Palestine.
They will, however, nuke EVERY Christian country in the world, by surprise, forcing them all to surrender, without ever firing one nuke back.
This is the story of the End Times war. It will be the beginning of the end, but Yahweh will have the last laugh and the ones selling the nukes and pushing the “fire” buttons will find eternal punishment awaiting their souls.
This is an article that comes from a French website that promotes travel in southern France. The Languedoc is the name of an ancient region, which today is Languedoc-Roussillon. The word languedoc breaks down into langue d’oc, which means “language of Occitan.” This is the language spoken most frequently in the past, which is now feared to be a dying language, soon to become dead. Nostradamus would have been fluent in Occitan, and many quatrains list places in this region. That makes southern France be an important place in the End Times. Still, there is a greater importance in understanding how the values of Christianity will be severely challenged in this future that is coming. It will be as intense as the history of the Cathars, who almost became extinct after the Albigensian Crusade, also referred to as the Cathar Crusade.
Because the axiom says history is written by the victors, the history of the Cathar people is like the Occitan language, nearly dead. The people who live in what is still called Cathar Country of southwestern France do their part to keep both the language and histories living. So, please read what those closest to the topic have written.

The Cathars were a religious group who appeared in Europe in the eleventh century, their origins something of a mystery though there is reason to believe their ideas came from Persia by way of the Byzantine Empire, the Balkans and Northern Italy. Records from the Roman Catholic Church mention them under various names and in various places. Catholic theologians debated with themselves for centuries whether Cathars were Christian heretics or whether they were not Christians at all. The question is apparently still open. Roman Catholics still refer to Cathar belief as “the Great Heresy” though the official Catholic position is that Catharism is not Christian at all.
Pope Innocent III excommunicates a group of Cathars. From the fourteenth century, Chronique de France (Chronique de St Denis), British Library, Royal 16, g VI f374v.Cathars believed in two principles, a good creator god and his evil adversary (much like God and Satan of mainstream Christianity). Cathars called themselves Christians; their neighbours distinguished them as “Good Christians”. The Catholic Church called them Albigenses, or less frequently Cathars.
Cathars maintained a Church hierarchy and practiced a range of ceremonies, but rejected any idea of priesthood or the use of church buildings. They divided into ordinary believers who led ordinary medieval lives and an inner Elect of Parfaits (men) and Parfaites (women) who led extremely ascetic lives yet still worked for their living – generally in itinerant manual trades like weaving. Cathars believed in reincarnation and refused to eat meat or other animal products. They were strict about biblical injunctions – notably those about living in poverty, not telling lies, not killing and not swearing oaths.
Basic Cathar tenets led to some surprising logical implications. For example they largely regarded men and women as equals, and had no doctrinal objection to contraception, euthanasia or suicide. In some respects the Cathar and Catholic Churches were polar opposites. For example the Cathar Church taught that all non-procreative sex was better than any procreative sex. The Catholic Church taught – and still teaches – exactly the opposite. Both positions produced interesting results. Following their tenet, Catholics concluded that masturbation was a far greater sin than rape, as mediaeval penitentials confirm. Following their principles, Cathar could deduce that sexual intercourse between man and wife was more culpable than homosexual sex.
Defensless Languedoc Cathars are cut down by French Catholic Crusaders. From the fourteenth century Chronique de France (Chronique de St Denis), British Library, Royal 16, g VI f374v. This is the right hand side of a two panel illustration (The left half is shown above). In this panel The leading crusader can be identified by his coat of arms as Simon de Montfort. In the Languedoc, famous at the time for its high culture, tolerance and liberalism, the Cathar religion took root and gained more and more adherents during the twelfth century. By the early thirteenth century Catharism was probably the majority religion in the area, supported by the nobility as well as the common people. This was yet another annoyance to the Roman Church which considered the feudal system to be divinely ordained as the natural order (Cathars disliked the feudal system because it depended on oath taking). In open debates with leading Catholic theologians Cathars seem to have come out on top. This was embarrassing for the Roman Church, not least because they had fielded the best professional preachers in Europe against what they saw as a collection of uneducated weavers and other manual workers. Worse still a number of Catholic priests had become Cathar adherents (Catharism was a religion that seems to have appealed especially to the theologically literate. Whole Cathedral chapters are known to have defected). Worse, the Catholic Church was held up to public ridicule (some of the richest men in Christendom, bejeweled, dressed in finery, and preaching poverty, provided an irresistible target even to contemporary Catholics in the Languedoc). Worst yet, Cathars refused to pay tithes to the Catholic Church.
The Cathar view of the Catholic Church was as bleak as the Catholic Church’s view of the Cathar Church. On the Cathar side it manifested itself in ridiculing Catholic doctrine and practices, and characterizing the Catholic Church as the “Church of Wolves”. The Catholics accused Cathars of heresy or apostasy and said they belonged to the “Synagogue of Satan”. The Catholic side created some striking propaganda. When the propaganda proved only partly successful, there was only one option left – a crusade – the Albigensian Crusade.
The Battle of Muret (1213), a turning point in the Cathar Crusade depicted in Grandes Chroniques de France, Manuscrit français 2813, fol. 252v. (created 1375-1380), in the Bibliothèque nationale de France The Pope, Innocent III, called a formal Crusade against the Cathars of the Languedoc, appointing a series of military leaders to head his Holy Army. The first was a Cistercian abbot (Arnaud Amaury) now best remembered for his command at Béziers “Kill them all. God will know his own”. The second was Simon de Montfort now remembered as the father of another Simon de Montfort, a prominent figure in English parliamentary history. The war against the Cathars of the Languedoc continued for two generations. In the later phases the Kings of France would take over as leaders of the crusade, which thus became a Royal Crusade.
Simon de Montfort has been connected to this “Kill them all” response.
From 1208, a war of terror was waged against the indigenous population and their rulers: Raymond VI of Toulouse, Raymond-Roger Trencavel, Raymond Roger of Foix in the first generation and Raymond VII of Toulouse, Raymond Trencavel II, and Roger Bernard II of Foix in the second generation. During this period an estimated 500,000 Languedoc men women and children were massacred – Catholics as well as Cathars. The Counts of Toulouse and their allies were dispossessed and humiliated, and their lands annexed to France. Educated and tolerant Languedoc rulers were replaced by relative barbarians; Dominic Guzmán (later Saint Dominic) founded the Dominican Order and soon afterwards the Inquisition, manned by his Dominicans, was established explicitly to wipe out the last vestiges of resistance. Persecutions of Languedoc Jews and other minorities were initiated; the culture of the troubadours was lost as their cultured patrons were reduced to wandering refugees known as faidits. Their characteristic concept of “paratge”, a whole sophisticated world-view, was almost destroyed, leaving us a pale imitation in our idea of chivalry. Lay learning was discouraged and the reading of the bible became a capital crime. Tithes were enforced. The Languedoc started its long economic decline to become the poorest region in France; and the language of the area, Occitan, began its descent from the foremost literary language in Europe to a regional dialect, disparaged by the French as a patois.
At the end of the extermination of the Cathars, the Roman Church had proof that a sustained campaign of genocide can work. It also had the precedent of an internal Crusade within Christendom, and the machinery of the first modern police state that could be wheeled out for the Spanish Inquisition, and again for later Inquisitions and genocides.
Voltaire observed that “there was never anything as unjust as the war against the Albigensians”.
Catharism is often said to have been completely eradicated by the end of the fourteenth century. Yet there are more than a few vestiges even today, apart from the enduring memory of Cathar “martyrdom” and the ruins of the famous “Cathar castles”, including the Château of Montségur ( The Name in Occitan. Click here to find out more about occitan. Montsegùr). There are even Cathars alive today, or at least people claiming to be modern Cathars. There is a flourishing, if largely superficial, Cathar tourist industry in the Languedoc, and especially in the Aude département. As we see the eight-hundredth anniversary of important events, more and more memorials are springing up on the sites of massacres. There is also an increasing community of historians and other academics engaged in serious Cathar studies. Interestingly, to date, the deeper scholars have dug, the more they have vindicated Cathar claims to represent a survival of the Earliest Christian Church.
The Cathars would seek shelter at night in the Templar castles, before going out to be massared the next day.
Arguably just as interesting, Protestant ideas share much in common with Cathar ideas, and there is some reason to believe that early reformers were aware of the Cathar tradition. Even today some Protestant Churches claim a Cathar heritage. Tantalizingly, weavers were commonly accused of spreading Protestant ideas in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, just as their antecedents in the same trade had been accused of spreading Cathar ideas in Medieval times.
It can even be argued that in many respects Roman Catholic ideas have shifted over the centuries ever further from the Church’s medieval teaching and ever closer to Cathar teaching.

In the year 2007, after I had published my book The Letters of Nostradamus, a member of the church I had joined wanted to “trade” books. If I would let him have a copy of my book to read (and keep), he would give (loan, in my mind) me a copy of a book he thought I would like. I believe he thought I would like his book because it was about the Knights Templar, and everything associated with the movie that had come out the year before, The Da Vinci Code (2006). The topic did not excite me, but I made the exchange, more in hope that he would read my book and realize Nostradamus as a prophet of God.
For most of my life, I have realized things come to me for some purpose. For that reason, I welcome things that enter my space without me asking. I observe these happenings closely and openly, because I know they usually (if not always) bring something for me to learn. Sometimes I have had very enlightening experiences, and other times I have scratched my head and asked, “What was that about?” Sometimes, the answer comes to me years later. Because of that experience, I knew I was supposed to read The Templar Revelation: Secret Guardians of the True Identity of Christ (1997), the book that I received in trade.
I say that because I would have never bought that book. I had some serious reservations about it, once I had it in my hands. The reservations I had from accepting the book were connected to the uneasiness I felt from the “vibes” emitted by the man who offered the trade. Those vibes were because he was a Freemason. The man would serve our church as chalice bearer on Sundays. When it was his turn to serve, I always found my way to the other side of the altar, away from where he serving. This was simply because he held the cup in his hand so that each person taking a sip would stare right into his huge Masonic ring that he wore on his finger. I question the beliefs of Masons, based on my experience as a Rosicrucian and things I have read and heard about that organization. Therefore, I could see his attraction to the book he was giving me as being less than righteous; and I imagined his interest in Nostradamus was to inspect him from a Masonic perspective.
Let me say that I read the book he loaned me and found it filled with venom, concerning the nature of Jesus the man. I had heard how the Roman Catholic Church was protesting the theme of The Da Vinci Code, and those themes came directly from The Templar Revelation. I wrote a review, which I posted on Amazon, letting my personal feelings of dislike be known, which was placed more as a warning to other readers not to take everything in the book as truth and fact. Still, I was supposed to read that book, and benefited from reading it because of the focus the authors placed on a people I had never heard of before. Those people lived in southern France, alongside castles built by branches of the Knights Templar, who lived in that same region. The people were called Cathars.
What is known about the Cathars is pieced together by remnants of history that was not destroyed by the Roman Catholic Church. To Rome, the Cathars were more frequently referred to as the Albigenses, because they lived in what is now the Tarn department of southern France, in the ancient Languedoc region, with Albi a city in that department. The surviving history claims that the people did not call themselves Cathar, which is a word rooted in the French word “cathare,” taken from the Greek root, “katharos,” meaning, “pure.” Others saw these people and tagged them with the title of being “Pure ones.” The Cathars considered themselves to be “Bon Homme,” meaning “Good Men,” but alluding to “Good Christian.”
The name Albigenses has become a fixture in European history as the Albigensian Crusades, which were the first attempts by the Roman Catholic Church to order a genocidal campaign within the realms of Europe. This was new, as it differed from the Church’s repeated attempts to wage genocidal war in the Holy Land. The success of the Albigensian Crusades, which ultimately led to the complete annihilation of the Cathar people and their religious order, was so complete that the Roman Catholic Church felt secure in ordering other crusades in Europe (France and Spain), to focus on the other elements of competition to their monopoly determining which souls went where. In the Albigensian Crusades, the leader Simon de Montfort will forever be remembered for giving the command, “Kill them all. God will recognize his own.” This man was a devout follower of the Dominican Order, which would carry the sword of death to all who followed a religion seen as in competition with the Vatican.
Because of the successful eradication of the Cathars from Christian consciousness, the later developments of the Reformation, and the rise of the various sects of Christianity (like mushrooms rising over decaying wood in the ground) has split Christianity into many different factions. Those closest to the Roman Catholic–Orthodox Catholic trunk have become set in the dogmatic practices established by those churches, as if Jesus Christ wrote down on paper what rituals he preferred they forever maintain. This dogma has become so overdone (some call it high church versus low church) that all modern churches have turned to a form of idol worship (Jesus on the Cross), more than the original Church of Christ taught. The most ancient practices, those closest to the life of Jesus, have been erased. This erasure has primarily been on order of the Romans, but the Cathars, as recognized Gnostics, were truer to the original dogma established by the first apostles. This did not set well with the Church of Rome.
The information that is now available about the practices of the Cathar people makes them seem like any typical sect of Christian believers, such that from a non-believer point of view all believers are irrational. In that sense, the Cathars act as a good battering ram for non-believers to use against all surviving sects of Christianity. Meanwhile, non-believers find it easy to point at flaws in Cathar beliefs, when their beliefs are really only guesses. Still, from all the smoke screens, a few characteristics remain that would be true reasons why others would look at the Cathar people and call them “Pure.” This is the perspective that one should try to capture for oneself, as that recognizable purity is the true essence of what it means to be Christian. The Cathar people exemplified a Christian lifestyle, where religion was shown through works, rather than a piece of jewelry.
In the book The Templar Revelation, the authors put forth the summary that any of the Cathar people, primarily known to be common weavers, but presumably also farmers, from the “lowest” of their society to the elders dedicated to maintaining their religious practices, could win any philosophical-religious debate brought on by Rome’s most well-trained orators and scholars of Christianity. Others who have researched the Cathars support this view. This is not a trait common to any other religion, as other religions have a few rams, and a lot of sheep. Sheep do not do well in debates with, let’s say … Wolves.
Also in The Templar Revelation, the authors pointed out a primary point of contention between the Cathars and Roman Catholics. This was the Cathar failure to recognize the Roman style of baptism as a rite of church membership. The practice of baptism with water was a Jewish element, associated with the sect of Judaism that was led by people like John the Baptist. John was a Jew who placed importance in this ritual act. Therefore, baptism by water symbolized a Jew’s commitment to following Jewish customs and beliefs. The Cathars believed that Jesus baptized with the Holy Spirit, and only people baptized in that manner were truly Christians, and thus members of that family of “Pure ones.”
In my mind, these two traits (all able to win debates over religious philosophy and being baptized with the Holy Spirit) go hand in hand. The only way one who is common (a simple hard-working farmer-weaver as Cathars were known to have been, or a fisherman, craftsman, etcetera) comes to defeat one educated in debating techniques (the ways of laying traps of logic to ensnare the uneducated) is by being filled with the Holy Spirit. This scenario of the “little man” versus the “big city slicker” is not some comical, made-for-television – Andy of Mayberry sitcom – that plays out in real life. The Cathars did not sway Roman Catholic priests and lords of France to believe their “spin” on religion because they were sly. They did it by letting a higher power do all the talking for them.
The poor have so regularly suffered at the hands of the rich (a historic serf-lord relationship), to the point that poor commoners would instantly tremble at the thought of having to debate an educated man. It is much easier to surrender to the power, and get the groveling over with, as quickly as possible. The Vatican knew this innate characteristic of the commoners, to the degree that their “internal Crusades” in Europe had long been a matter of seeking this type of auto-capitulation. The Roman Catholic Church has existed as lords over Christendom, reaping all the luxuries of kings over countries. Their power is based on maintaining that “master-servant” order. The Cathars understood that the only “Master-servant” relationship was between each man or woman and God, with Jesus Christ acting as the Holy Spirit within them, guarding them from the birds of prey.
In this regard, it is shown through surviving documents that the Cathars believed in reincarnation. This belief was different from the Western concept of Eastern religions, who are known to believe in reincarnation. The Eastern view is to see reincarnation as venerable, as well as to be expected. The Cathars saw reincarnation as a failure to live life in the manner that Jesus instructed, through the Laws God passed down to his chosen people. The Cathars believed that reincarnation was like failing a grade in school, and being forced to repeat that grade. When one is truly filled with the Holy Spirit, one does not capitulate to evil, in any shape or form. Therefore, when the Roman Catholic Church hired the Dominicans to force capitulation in the face of a sword, the Cathars died for their faith.
In the book The Templar Revelation, the authors recalled stories placed into history by the Templars of southern France, who themselves had refused to do the Church’s bidding (they were hired Crusaders by profession, but also a religious sect, per se), because they too saw the Cathars as “Pure ones.” Their writings told of weary Cathars seeking a safe haven to sleep for a night, approaching a “neutral Templar” castle and being welcomed in to rest. This was a respect given by warriors who honored that Cathar resolve. Then, after resting and re-energizing, the Cathars would go out the next day and fight to the death.
That spirit to fight for what is right does not come from some man (or woman) standing on a stump, rallying the troops with meaningless words of patriotism, heroism, and by praising sacrifice to some ideal that only benefits a few. To quote a line from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, such coaxing of valor usually results in the order, “Run away! Run away!” The Cathar people displayed a true spirit of faith, which can only come from deep within one’s soul. When one’s heart has filled one’s brain with the knowledge that the only thing keeping one from Heaven is one’s resolve to stand up for what is right and true, one gladly dies fighting for what must be protected at all costs. The early Christians were fed to the lions, to the delight of Romans. Such sacrifice, where believers were willing to die for their faith, rather than sacrifice every principle of truth, was based on the realization that giving up would do nothing more than allow them the right to live under oppression for another 20, 30, 60 years. Then what? Reincarnation, and do it all over again? The Cathars did not die from being sold an ideal. They died because they knew the ultimate reward awaits the truly faithful. They fought against evil, all while feeling the hand of Christ warming their souls. That Cathar dedication speaks volumes about the sincerity of their belief in Christ, and the purity of their way of life.
The point of this exposure to a long departed people is not to place Cathars on a pedestal, nor to promote Catharism as a new “sect of Christianity.” I doubt the Albigenses people would have seen themselves as anything other than Christians, and I doubt they would stand at the edge of their territory and cast stones at people who lived differently than they did. The success the Roman Catholic Church had, eliminating through punishment of death those who refused to kneel down and swear worship to the ruler of the Vatican, led the Church to next turn their attention on the Jews of France. The Albigenses lived alongside Templars and Jews, and all had mutual respect for one another, although each maintained their own orders of life disciplines and ritual practices. This speaks volumes for how true Christians (“Pure ones,” “Good Christians”) should live, no matter what time period a Christian is born into.
It must be remembered that the first “Pure ones” were the direct disciples of Jesus, his followers as believers, and the apostles who went out into the world to tell the “Gospel” (“Good News”) to Jews who had been scattered across the face of the known world. Many of those had found Europe a place to call home. It must also be remembered that the first “Good Christians” were themselves Jews, who believed God had delivered on His promise, to send a Messiah (the Christ) to His chosen servants (priests to the One God, YHWH). In this process of going to locate settlements of Jews, the message was also spread to Gentiles (non-Jews), allowing all people to receive the Holy Spirit into their hearts, instantly becoming members of a church of “Good Christians.” They did not have to pay their way into this “club,” nor did they have to memorize oaths to recite, so all would whisper amongst themselves, “Yes. That is one confessing he, she, or it is a Good Christian. So, it must be so.”
The man named Michel de Nostredame, commonly known by his Latinized name, Nostradamus (a popular trend in the 16th century for college graduates, especially for writers), was born and presumably baptized as a Roman Catholic, to parents confessing to be Roman Catholics. Nostradamus was born in 1506, when all people living in France had to be Roman Catholic, or they were banished by decree, with support from the provincial rulers and parish leaders. Nostradamus’ father was born of a man who had been born Jewish, and practiced Judaism until the French Inquisition placed an ultimatum on him to convert (a direct derivative of the Albigensian Crusades). Nostradamus’ Jewish grandfather converted to Christianity, which needs to be explored further.
Nostradamus’ Jewish grandfather was married at the time of widespread persecution of Jews and Muslims, which was primarily focused on Spain, but southern France was not beyond that reach. The Spanish terms the word “conversos” to explain the many “converts” that chose to remain where they lived, rather than be left losing everything they had worked to build, through conversion to the Roman Catholic Church. This was a willful decision, although there were pressures to make a decision on religious observance. Nostradamus’ grandfather was married to a Jewish woman. The grandfather decided to convert and stay, but his wife refused to convert. The wife had to therefore leave, so an “annulment” was granted, allowing the two to separate. The wife was not the maternal grandmother of Nostradamus. Nostradamus’ grandfather married a Christian woman, and she became the maternal grandmother of Nostradamus. As such, Nostradamus was born Christian, with Jewish lineage.
It must also be recognized that the surname, Nostredame, means, “Our lady.” This is obviously a statement of name, rather than a family name that existed before the conversion. Everyone had a first name (a Christian name), but there was no proper surnames in the 15th century. The men were known by their first names, with that name connected to what those men did that separated them from another man of the same first name. This same practice is seen in the Holy Bible, such that the disciple Thomas was given the name Didymus, which meant that Thomas was known to be a “Twin” to another man who looked just like him, his twin brother. Thus, Nostradamus’ grandfather took on the distinction of being Pierre de Nostredame. This too is significant.
It is easy to think that assuming a surname, which appears to be telling the world, “I am from Notre Dame,” one would be living in the area of Paris, which has long been known for the Cathedral of Notre Dame. This is not the case, because Nostradamus’ family lived in southern France, not the north. The name is a direct statement that Pierre (a name that converts to “Peter,” but in French means, “Stone,” or “Rock”) was descended “from Our lady,” who is understood to be the Virgin Mary. This relationship is then connected to the southern France region where Nostradamus was born, which is called Provence.
Was the Our Lady the mother of Jesus or Mary Magdalene, who landed in France (then Gaul), or her virgin daughter Sarah, the one believed to be the Holy Blood of Christians in Europe?
Between September and October 2006, my wife and I honeymooned in southern France. We chose that location because of my deep interest in Nostradamus. We visited Lyon (where Nostradamus’ books were published), Avignon (where the Western Papacy was established in the 14th century), Salon-de-Provence (where Nostradamus lived when he wrote The Prophecies), St. Remy (where Nostradamus was born), and Marseilles (the major port city of southern France, at the mouth of the Rhone River, on the Mediterranean Sea, and at the western edge of the Provence region). In my research of the quatrains, I had seen the names of many towns (communes) in Provence; but there are many more names of places listed, which are found to be a little further to the west, in the ancient Languedoc region. That region’s southernmost extension is in the shadow of the Pyrenees Mountains. However, we were unable to visit those regions, although I wished we had the time to do so.
While we were in France, I was awaiting a print-on-demand publisher to have my book, The Letters of Nostradamus, ready for publication. That completion did not occur until November 2006, and thus I was in France before I had read the book The Templar Revelation. Had I read that book prior to going to France, I would have made a point of going to the place named Saint Maries of the Sea (Saintes-Maries- de-la-Mer), which is in the marshes just to the west of Marseilles, at the mouth of the Petite Rhone. While in a museum in Salon-de Provence, we saw a wax depiction of the raft that brought to southern France (the edge of Provence) several figures of New Testament prominence. Those figures were Mary Jacobe (wife of Cleopas), Mary Magdalene, and Mary Salome, with those “Maries” accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea, Lazarus of Bethany, and a baby daughter of the Magdalene, Saint Sarah (Sarah the Black). The museum’s headphones told us the history of them arriving in Europe at Saints Maries of the Sea, on a small raft with no sail.
Wax figures depicting the miracle landing of saints in the name of Jesus in Gaul.
This point of entry was part of the presentation of The Templar Revelation, although it placed more focus on the Saint Sarah, than the other raft occupants. The focus made by the authors of that book presented Saint Sarah as the offspring of Jesus, with the mother being Mary Magdalene. This presentation was the focus of Dan Brown’s mega-hit, The Da Vinci Code, such that Saint Sarah represented the Holy Grail, as the bloodline of Christ. This presence in southern France, presumed to have been around the year 42 A.D., became the seed in Europe that would ultimately become the royal lineages of France and England, spread to all of Europe. However, the possibility remains to have had other impacts.
The presence of such close Gnostic followers of Jesus Christ, would have an effect on those locals in that region, thus spreading Christianity to the pagans they encountered there in France (Gaul). It would also become a welcoming environment for Jews spread into Europe, as a place where they would be valued as human beings, devout followers of the One God, although not believing Jesus was the Messiah. This presence would then make southern France an attraction to Eastern Gnostic Christians, who would venture from the remnants of the Orthodox Church realm (Romania) to southern France (the Cathars believed origin). It would also be why a Jew (one believing in Jesus as the Christ) would convert to Roman Catholicism (technically converting to “Christianity” from Judaism), and assume the name, “of Our lady.” The “lady” would not so much be the Roman Catholic Virgin (although it would be her DNA in Jesus), as much as it would be the “lady” known as Saint Sarah (the DNA of Jesus combined with that of Mary Magdalene). This would mean that the name Nostredame was recognition of being descended from the royal blood of Christ, only possible through a Jewish lineage.
To connect the grandfather of Nostradamus to the Cathar presence in southern France, it is known that the spread of Catharism extended beyond the region of Languedoc. The Albigensian Crusades focused on those Cathars of that region. Still, one must keep in mind how the Cathar people did not go around calling themselves Cathars. The name was a distinction of those who had been filled with the Holy Spirit, and from that presence within they were able to live together, openly expressing their beliefs to all who questioned. The fact remains that other “Good Christians,” also anointed through baptism of the Holy Spirit, lived in more scattered traces throughout Europe. Being more dispersed, these “Good Christians” would have been unable to recognize the temple practices, where en masse they would have the luxury of separating into the hierarchal designations of “temple priests” and “regular priests.”
I believe – now, after contemplation on the subject – that Nostradamus’ grandfather was the equivalent of a Cathar, without the luxury of having to openly confront the Roman Catholic Church, through the safety of numbers. To Nostradamus’ grandfather, conversion was done for preserving the bloodline of those descended with a natural ability to receive the Holy Spirit, more than a reversal of beliefs. Nostradamus’ grandfather could openly call himself a Christian because it was the truth. In private, however, he could continue the Jewish practices that all Jews must maintain; and it is believed by many that Nostradamus received lessons in the Talmud from his grandfather (and father), which aided his knowledge of astrology.
Certainly, none of this can be proved today. Still, the evidence is there to see from the side. Nostradamus was most certainly home schooled, up to the age that he was sent to the university in Avignon, where he received his baccalaureate. He then went on to study to become a doctor. Prior to that education, Nostradamus was already knowledgeable in the “art” of herbal medicine, as an “apothecary” (not an alchemist). This knowledge is said to be what the University of Montpellier expelled him for, before he could complete a degree. There is also some evidence that Nostradamus argued with his professors about their errors of medical logic. Between his temper and the stigma of experience as an apothecary (frowned on greatly back then, by the book educated) that was plenty enough to put him on a list of students not getting ‘with the program’.
Before Nostradamus was expelled, he served an internship (as did all medical students at the university) by being of service to the people during a new series of outbreaks of the plague (albeit much milder than the Black Plague outbreak 100 years before). Nostradamus went west to Agen, France, the hometown of his first wife and children. He served the people who were suffering there. Nostradamus promoted cleanliness (rather than the technique of bleeding) as well as taking a “rose pill” he created (high in Vitamin C), which saved several people in several towns. He picked up the reputation of being a healer, but after his wife and children died of the plague, that reputation took a turn for the worse. Still, Nostradamus continued to work to assist in plague-stricken areas of Provence, having success until he eventually settled down in Salon-de-Provence.
< Religion versus science >
The point of this exercise is to show how Nostradamus had already displayed elements of having received the Holy Spirit, such that this “Advocate” is said to come with the ability to use one’s hands to heal others, as well as to prophesy. The tool of astrology is said by Nostradamus (in his letter to Henry II) to be a gift bestowed by God upon Abraham. This shows how Abraham was also filled with the Holy Spirit, and all of the true children of Isaac, through Jacob (Israel), were true priests of the One God, by having received the Spirit and becoming the keepers of the holy practices that had been gifts of God to his children. Nostradamus also explained in his preface that the ability to know astrology (something that had become commonly known by many in the 16th century) was not a guarantee of prophetic insight. Astrology is only prophetic as a tool for the gifted – those possessing the Holy Spirit within. Thus, through demonstrated history (including the lore surrounding Nostradamus), Nostradamus was a “Pure one,” a “Good Christian,” and a “Cathar,” by his miraculous acts. Those “works” make statements about his beliefs; and he did those works while also going by the name, “the one of Our lady.”
Seeing this connection, I strongly believe, gives a deeper reason to believe that The Prophecies are indeed from the Spirit of Christ, as explained by Nostradamus in both of his letters connected with his most famous work. It is a work that can only be seen by other “Cathars,” who are also truly “Good Christians” that believe the Lord will not allow mankind to walk blindly to its execution. Jesus sits at the right hand of God as the way to God. God acts upon those truly seeking to be home in Heaven, and one with God, by believing in Jesus as the Christ, and then becoming the replication of Christ (the return of Christ) themselves, by having received the Advocate (the Holy Spirit, sent by Christ) that whispers, “Step aside, and I’ll do the thinning around here (Baba Louie).” “Good Christians” step aside and let Christ act through them, appearing to others as one acting as a “Pure one.” From that level of purity, one can read The Prophecies and see the truth, but then go out (as an apostolate) and pass this Gospel on to others, so they too can see for themselves the truth. The truth says: Christ has died. Christ has risen. And, Christ has come again.
One more quatrain that may be relevant to world news today.
For people who know little of value about Nostradamus and his most famous work – Les Propheties (The Prophecies) – it is worthwhile to know that it was published in times when printing books was relatively new. In the mid-sixteenth century, France was led by a king, with the Pope of Rome a close advisor to the king. During Nostradamus’ life, a series of popes took a position that sought to learn how astrology worked, so those who practiced that art were not persecuted. Nostradamus had begun to publish yearly “Almanachs” that used astrology to forecast events to come in the year ahead, which were very popular with the people. That prior favorable history made his writings be easily approved by the king and his advisors, even though the Almanacs were written in poetic style, where metaphor demanded the reader ponder a deeper meaning for the truth to surface. The deeper meaning was what made Nostradamus popular, as he was often found to use vocabulary to secretly poke fun at those in charge of their world.
It is obvious (to me) that Nostradamus wrote all of his quatrains at one time (perhaps taking nine months to complete); and, he wrote them in an order that would make Les Propheties an epic poem of the same note as Goethe’s Faust (est. 1587). Still, it must be realized (as Nostradamus made this claim) that the source of everything in Les Propheties was shown to him and told to him by the divine: Yahweh and His Son Jesus. This means Nostradamus was a saint; and, his writings are to be taken no differently than Christians take the Holy Bible, when they read such as this: “[Peter] fell into a trance. He saw the heaven opened …. Then he heard a voice saying, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat.”‘
Everything about Les Propheties was divinely commanded by the voice of Jesus coming from within Nostradamus. Jesus told him what to write; and, Nostradamus understood this was a vision of the future. He was told it was a future so far away, the writings must be cloaked, until the time it would be necessary for them to be understood.
Because the topic on this work was a future no one would ever live to understand, the quatrains were written in a wide ranging style, from simple and fairly easy to understand, to most complex and difficult to fathom. In order to be approved for publishing, Nostradamus plucked out of the whole 353 of the most easily understood quatrain. To confuse matters, those were totally scrambled and not in the order of story Nostradamus was told to write. That mixed up selection was then published as three parts of one hundred quatrains (called a “Centurie”), with a fourth “Centurie” only containing fifty-three quatrains. That was first published in 1555.
It should be realized that each yearly Almanac contained only twelve to fourteen poems (not all quatrains). Three hundred forty-three was like a quatrain a day for the readers to solve.
Two years later, Nostradamus was authorized to republish Les Propheties, with the 1557 edition increasing from four ‘chapters’ to seven. “Centurie Quartre” went from only having fifty-three quatrains, to having a full hundred. The last ‘chapter’ – Centurie Septiesme – only had forty-two quatrains. In addition, the sixth part listed only ninety-nine quatrains, with what would be the one hundredth being five lines of text (a title and four verses), all written in Latin. That one presentation is clearly the first to be presented in the whole; but now it was mixed in as the last of a sixth grouping of quatrains.
In 1558, King Henry II of France was killed in a jousting accident. His wife Catherine de’ Medici became Queen Regent; and, she was a fan of Nostradamus. In 1566, the final edition of Les Propheties was approved for publishing, but there might have been some reservations about adding more to what few had been able to make sense, since 1555. Catherine told the world that Nostradamus predicted Henry’s death in quatrain I-35 [he didn’t], so that kept open the possibility of publishing. Perhaps to appease the censors, Nostradamus included a copy of his letter sent to King Henry II prior to his death, which explained the meaning of Le Propheties, as Henry had demanded before further publication could take place (if not having the book banned). Rather than simply do as in 1557 and complete Centurie Septiesme, everything was kept as it was, with a second book added to the first book. Rather than a “Preface,” the second book began with the “Letter to Henry II.” That was then followed by three full parts of one hundred each, with no leftovers.
Nostradamus would die in 1568, but he would have prepared an edited version, based on the tremendous number of printer errors he found in the 1566 edition. His assistant Chavigny would oversee the 1568 edition, made the necessary corrections in the text. There was no reason to republish in 1568, other than to correct the prior errors; as, nothing new was added in 1568. Still, a heavy number of the most difficult words to translate are found in Centiries eight, nine and ten. It gives me a headache trying to interpret one quatrain from any of those sections, due to the number of difficult words to deal with. Each difficult must be addressed as divinely written, so there is a limit to what one can do (there are rules), as far as seeing the possibility of anagrams being purposefully used. The simplicity of the 1555 Lyon edition evaporates in these final three Centuries.
Thus, with that preface, here is one of those difficult quatrains. It is possible that it deals with the Russia invasion of Ukraine.
X – 14
Urnel Vauclle sans conseil de soy mesmes
Hardit timide par crainte prins vaincu,
Accompagné de plusieurs putains blesmes
A Barcellonne aux chartreux convaincu.
It is difficult to write about the majority of quatrains that filled “Centuries” eight, nine, and ten, when the last edition (the final edited version) was published in 1568. Many of the most difficult words to translate are found in those ‘chapters.’ This quatrain is a prime example, as four capitalized words (capitalization means importance must be found) are simply not words readily known. Those words are: Urnel, Vaucille, Hardit, and Barcellonne (although the last one seems so much like “Barcelona”).
In my past attempts to translate the very many seemingly misspelled words, in addition to those that seem to be created for a future event or time, I have tried to stay away from calling anything written wrong. Every word is purposefully written as published (in 1568, not 1566), with the future reader tasked with seeing the truth from that written, with simple changes only allowed. One such way is to simply divide a word, as if one or more words were squeezed together to appear as one word. Another is a simple anagram, where one letter can be removed and placed in the front, as an abbreviated article.
An example of this is in the first word – “Urnel.” By taking the “l” at the end and placing it at the front, as an abbreviated “le,” the result is “l’Urne,” which is the way the French referred to the astrological sign “Aquarius” (as “the Urn”). If that is the capitalized first word of the main theme statement (line one), then it needs to be understood what “Aquarius” refers to; and, based on the astrological birthdates of nations, one that stands out is Russia (the one resurfacing after the breakup of the Soviet Union).
The word “Vauclle” is an important one to determine, due to it being capitalized and immediately following “l’Urne.” There is no such word as it is spelled. The word “Vau” means “Valley,” so that would leave “clle” to be rearranged as a simple anagram. The 1566 Lyon edition shows this word as “Vaucile,” where the “l” of the 1568 edited edition says the “i” was an error. If it is indeed an “i,” then a simple anagram would be “ciel,” which is French for “heaven,” or a “canopy” over a “Valley.” Still, this word remains an enigma that I cannot discern.
The first word in line two is another that is not a word, as it is presented. It can be a simple anagram, when the “t” at the end is placed as an abbreviated pronoun “te” at the beginning, as “t’Hardi.” This then says, “yourself Hardy,” with “Hardi” also able to mean, “Daring, Stout, Bold, Confident, Adventurous, Valiant, and/or Courageous.” Still, when the “H” is read as a silent letter, so the word of importance is “Ardit,” this is a valid word of the Catalan language (southern France), from Frankish “Hardid.” The same translation, as “Bold” or “Daring” still applies as an adjective; but as a noun it becomes “Ruse” or “Stratagem.” This fits the theme of the overall story told in Les Propheties. The capitalization makes this a major “Stratagem” to realize.
The spelling of “Barcellonne” is another that makes no sense as spelled. It is, however, a word repeated in two other quatrains, making it significant to discern. If, however, the word “arceler” is read as a form of “harceler,” meaning “harassed, bothered, or disrupted,” then the letters “(h)arcellé” can be removed and placed after “Bonn,” as “Bonn-arcellé.” That could yield “Well-harassed” as the meaning. Still, that solution is missing an “e” to place at the end of “Bonn,” making it be the feminine spelling of “Bonne.” Therefore, I cannot discern this word for certain.
In the 1566 Lyon edition, line four shows “Chartreux,” where the capitalization makes it appear to be the French mountains around Grenoble, and a commune by that name [actually Chartreuse]. The correction in the 1568 Lyon edition shows the lower case, so the word is a form of “chartres,” meaning “charters,” while also referring to “prisons,” most particularly the “worst part of the prison, also known as the hole or dungeon.”
This means the words of this quatrain can be seen as stating this:
Aquarius X?????? without advice from oneself the same
Stratagem cowardly through fear taken vanquished,
Associated with many whores corpse-like whitish ones
From Well-harassed in the harshest prison rooms convicted.
Because the word “putain” is used in line three and the only other version of this word is found in quatrain V-05 (“pute”), this becomes a link between this quatrain and that one. Because this word is linked to the Russian pseudo-czar Putin, the meaning of “Aquarius” makes that astrological birth sign able to identify Russia (the one reborn after the breakup of the USSR). When the word “blesme” is seen to have an association with the ‘color’ white, this says the ‘White Russians’ of Belarus can be see as involved. Wikipedia states this of the meaning of that name: “The name Belarus is closely related with the term Belaya Rus’, i.e., White Rus’.”
In terms of Nostradamus uses of colors, where the Communists have the color “red” assigned to denote them, the use of “white” refers to those people who are Christians. Those referred to as “black” are Muslims. The word “blesme” is said (in Old French-to-Olde English terminology) to mean, “pale, wan, bleak, whitish, dead colored.” As such, the people of Russia and all the Slavic countries of Eastern Europe can be described as people who once were Christians, but now they are dead to that truth. As those forced to accept the indoctrination (brainwashing) that the State is your only god, the Slavs have become corpses of those no longer alive in their souls as Christians.
This make Putin the main whore that projects all who are like him, having sold their souls to Communism and the philosophy that believes defeating the West (the pseudo-representation of Christianity) is the end-all goal of life on earth. There being no belief in eternal life nor eternal damnation will lead them to do as their leaders tell them to do. They all have been taught the stories of how Stalin ordered the murder of any Soviet citizens that would surrender to the Nazis; so, killing you own temporarily, in order to win the war, is just one of the sacrifices a sold soul must make.
A key word to discern then becomes “Hardit.” As a capitalized word, it bears great importance. Thus, if it indeed means “Ruse” or “Stratagem,” this becomes a major statement that is directly related to that stated in the main theme (line one), because there is no punctuation separating line one from line two. The “Stratagem” or “Ruse” is directly related to “the Urn,” which symbolically states “Aquarius.”
The word “Vauclle” is probably not referencing a “Valley,” unless that is metaphor for a trap designed to draw an opponent into an unfavorable battleground (such as that Hannibal used to defeat the Romans). It has something important to do with identifying “the Urn.” This makes it and “Barcellonne” be a game you can enter. Figure it out and solve the puzzle!
The re-creation of Israel. This is the clearest evidence of Prophecy, because in 1555 there had been no land possessed by the remnant peoples of the lost Israel and Judah for over two thousand years. From the times of Jesus until then was over fifteen hundred years. The recreation of a nation (Samuel told Yahweh, so they can be like other nations) with the name Israel – a false understanding of that name – would not happen until 1948, nearly four hundred years after the first publication of The Prophecies. So, no standard of history repeating itself would be a magician gimmick, so one would think, “Hey, I bet this will happen again.” This quatrain is in the category of those easy to see, which a small percentage are. This is solid evidence that Yahweh inspired Nostradamus, through Jesus possessing his soul; and that means they all are equally divine and true, just not as easy to understand.
Here is what I posted long ago and longer before that:
—–
Let me first state that I wrote this article that follows in late 2013. It is a history lesson that explains the theme of The Prophecies, which is a most unholy war that will unleash such persecutions and horrors upon humanity that Yahweh will have to come destroy the evil that has overtaken the world. He promised never to do that with flood waters again; but this time an asteroid impact will do the trick.
Quatrain III-97 was published in the first edition of Nostradamus’ work, which was ‘added to’ in 1557 and then again (after the death of King Henry II of France and his wife became Queen Regent, allowing more to be ‘added’) in 1566. Nostradamus would die in 1566; but he would tell his assistant Jean de Chavigny, “The 1566 Lyon edition is so filled with incorrect text, make sure after I die the text is strictly followed.” That meant a corrected 1568 Lyon edition became the ‘whole’ of The Prophecies (Les Propheties), with later additions of quatrains here and there being added as questionable and highly suspect.
In the letter Nostradamus wrote to King Henry II of France, he explained his many quatrains in a way that made people think Nostradamus had gone mad. In the ‘Millennial Edition’ published in the year 2000, written by the worst of all interpreters of Nostradamus (Henry C. Roberts), he had a footnote placed on his reproduction of the “Epistle to Henry II” that said (basically, paraphrased from memory), “My publisher demanded I add this letter to the book. If it were up to me, it would be omitted as the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic, which makes no sense whatsoever.” In reality, that craziness is a profound statement that the whole of 942+ quatrains is just as maniacal, when read in the order presented, because everything has been scrambled and replaced in a meaningless random order. The letter written to King Henry II of France must be divided into parts and rearranged so sanity becomes the clear intent; and that is how one must approach the individual quatrains. Each must be placed into a new order that tells an epic poem .
One example of this is the last presentation of Centurie Sixteme, where the last entry is not a quatrain. It is a sixain or sextain, with every word written in Latin, not Old French. That becomes a ‘foreword’ to the quatrains to follow, with quatrain I-01 starting the natural order, but few others are in their natural position. This means every quatrain published between 1555 and 1566-68 were written in a natural order, before the first edition was published. A central theme is then Quatrain III-97, which explains most accurately a future event (and fairly easy to interpret), while foretelling perfectly how the event would happen. It is an event that would take place on the timeline of history nearly four hundred years later.
This is a central theme for The Prophecies, because all the horrid events foretold in the majority of the quatrains tell of the theft of Palestine by Jews, the support of that Jewish theft by the major powers of the Western (Christian) world, and the refusal to follow legal means as a way to resolve crimes of theft. That ignorance will be the motivation to destroy the stolen land, its illegal migrators, Europe and the “Great,” who live in a “new land” with a “new city” (“la grand cité neufve,” from Quatrain VI-97). The events of September 11, 2001 (told in many reordered quatrains) will be the throwing down of the gauntlet in this war.
With this ‘foreword’ stated, it is most important to see this prophecy told in Quatrain III-97 as having already happened (1948). Still, as is the case with all the quatrains, those which have already happened, all can happen again (in slightly different ways). This is reason for the saying, “history repeats.” Try and imagine how the same statements made in Quatrain III-97 can be reversed, with a ‘new world order’ replacing the old world orders that were the League of Nations and its bastard son, the United Nations. If you can re-imagine it, then it can happen again.
With all this said, here is the article I posted on my now defunct website in 2013.
Back in April or May of 2003, when I had not done my own translations of The Prophecies, I faced a group of skeptics in the Dallas, Texas area, and told them that there was a story to be found in the quatrains. I did not tell them to win a prize of some kind, nor did I tell them to find ridicule and embarrassment. I told them to elicit some intelligent response to what I saw was a serious issue, worthy of all men and women of intelligence looking into.
Here, I was making a presentation to a group of card-carrying skeptics about the meaning of Nostradamus, when I had no knowledge of the Old French text and no idea Nostradamus wrote letters that explained his work. I was just a faithful idiot trying to let the truth be known, even if the whole truth was still out of view.
Of course, the result of my appearance before that group of skeptics is based on who is judging the results. They felt they had defeated another idiot, one like all the other crazies they had come to them, like people who believed in such things as flying saucers, bending spoons with the mind, and, in my case, someone who believed in Nostradamus. There was not much logical argument from them. They simply believed that anyone from a time prior to the Age of Reason (and the invention of the scientific method) could not possibly know something of value in 2003, especially if that someone was a known astrologer.
To them, I was their monthly “dog and pony show.” In that capacity, they demanded that I give them some predictions that Nostradamus had written, some which they could test themselves for accuracy. Those predictions had to be due to come true soon (within a month or so), or they would forget all about what I had said. They would be polite enough to wait that long before they would officially laugh at me. They believed I would be proven wrong.
I gave the president of that club a print out of my notes for the lecture. I made it clear to him that Nostradamus did not make any clear predictions. I told him that Nostradamus wrote quatrains that had to be interpreted by someone else, in order for any clear predictions to come from his words. In that regard, I told him that I would make an attempt to predict the near future, based on the words of Nostradamus, and my view of current world affairs (up till April 2003). I made it clear that any predictions I made, which may prove to be right or wrong, were solely a result of my abilities-inabilities to gauge accurately the words written by Nostradamus. In other words, I made it clear to him that it was me doing the lecture, not Nostradamus. The man who actually wrote the words, who actually knew the meaning, was no longer available to speak live. The one lecturing was nearly 450 years after the fact.
I gave the president 15 quatrains that I would present in the lecture. Of these, five dealt with past events, but all dealing with the 20th century, between 1948 and 2001. Five others dealt with present events, which were still ongoing, already having come true partially, with the still unfulfilled parts actually being predicted on television news (separate from any link to Nostradamus). The final five were the “stupid pet trick” predictions. All of those five, where I predicted the future, were wrong. At least, they were wrong in the sense that they did not happen over the next month. One was badly wrong (will never happen), and another was equally off (didn’t happen when I thought it possible), but a small earthquake made it seem less off than it was (only a coincidental earthquake, in a place earthquakes happen regularly).
On those five quatrains where my predictions were wrong, I had guessed that it was possible those could happen that soon. I simply guessed wrong. That means those five are still waiting to happen, still pending. Since they have not happened yet, they are still to come, in the future. Mainly, I was just off on the timing, which was based on the astronomy I saw in some quatrains. I misread those planetary clues. C’est la vie.
What that group of skeptics refused to argue was the ten quatrains that I felt were strong evident of predictions having come true, totally or partially. They listened as I explained Nostradamus’ meaning, and the correlation to past historic events. They saw no reason to respond to any of that. They would not even argue what they thought to be a contrary meaning, or say how those words could apply to other “specific events.” They just sat there, watching my every move intently, to see if I was using sleight of hand to set up invisible wires for some spoon bending demonstration later.
That is what I call willful “ignorance.” The word “ignorance”, to me, does not mean one is incapable of thought and reason. It means one is too lazy to ponder. An ignorant person is one who ignores the truth, when the truth is in one’s face. In the field of science, where statistics are so important, the more one accepts something to be true, by failing to argue something “given,” the more one skews the facts of proof. In anything covered by probability, the more that is accepted as fact (without argument), the less role chance plays, and the greater possibility that probability (statistical analysis) elevates towards reliability (over 70 percentile). In other words, “If someone walks out on a weak limb, cut it out from under one, rather than leave a flimsy offshoot looking like a strong link to the main trunk.” Simply laughing at someone, without presenting one’s own facts, proves nothing.
One of those five quatrains that I presented, as having happened completely, as strong evidence for prophecy, is still just as phenomenal as evidence for belief in Nostradamus now, as it was then. It is one that is easy to translate, such that all pro-Nostradamus people agree on what it foretold. Back then, when I had yet to begin doing my own translations, it allowed me to see its accuracy, through what is typically the fog of someone else’s translation. It is one that has been on television programs about Nostradamus before, because they love to use the easy zingers there. It is the one known as quatrain III-97, and that is the one that prophesied the creation of the State of Israel, which occurred in 1948.
No one can argue that quatrain III-97 is about some other event, without being completely illogical, and without any sense of reason, or critical thinking capability. It is that much of (to use a George Tenent description) “a slam dunk” about the meaning. It happened in our past (now almost 62 years ago), but it happened almost 382 years after Nostradamus died. That is 393 years after the publication date (1555), and probably 394 years after Nostradamus was first shown the future by the Holy Spirit (minimally 1554). That is seeing the future, as far as Nostradamus was concerned. Still, that length of time is nothing in the overall focus of what that quatrain predicted to come true.
The prophet Jeremiah wrote about how hard it was for the Jews to take the loss of Judah, part of the land that Yahweh gave them, way back in 586 BC. He told of the coming loss (the book named after the author), and he told of the crying and moaning that took place after the crumbling began, when the Babylonians began taking Jews captive, in one large group after another (The Lamentations). Still, the land named Israel, which was lost to the Assyrians, finally was lost 136 years earlier, in 722 BC. That means that by 1555 it had been already 2,277 years (give or take a few months) that the Jews had not recreated a land named Israel. It is after all that time that it would be another 394 years, additional years after Nostradamus made the prediction, before that one event would take place, totaling 2,671 years since Israel last existed, without it having even been re-created again. In the times of Jesus, if you remember, Jews had relocated to the same land, but it was Judea, Samaria, and Galilee mostly (Palestine), ruled by Rome. That means the event that was to be about the re-creation of Israel was a real one-time event to predict, if ever there was one.
Surely, there would have to be some odds that the Jews would eventually get their land back, such that the greater the number of years that passed, the greater the probability could become. That is how the people of Chicago find hope in numbers, or how Chicago Cubs fans can eternally be saying, “Maybe this is the year?” The problem, however, comes from the Jews being scattered across the face of the earth, such that they were not in one place, in large enough numbers, to mount any kind of organized attempt to take its old land back. At least the Cubs have always been in Chicago, along with most Cubs fans. That means that for Nostradamus to nail exactly how that occurrence would go down (the details that come from his words in quatrain III-97), one would need a microscope to see the odds of that happening by chance. Based on the prediction originating in the 1550’s, the facts of the reality from history match the facts of the words of that quatrain, such that “chance” is blown completely out of the water.
Before getting into the interpretation, which is done like any interpretation (follow the systems and define the words used), one has to see the huge importance of this one quatrain. What makes this quatrain (III-97) so important to understand, and the reason it is so easy to identify, is it is a “major theme quatrain.” A “theme quatrain” is one that leads a string of quatrains, which together explain more and more details about one specific historic event (past, present, or future). A “major theme quatrain” not only leads its own storyline, it is an important element in the overall theme of The Prophecies (all the stories of all the quatrains), as a root cause of WHY a need would come for Nostradamus to write The Prophecies. This means that the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 is most important to know, both about what happened around that one event, and also about how that one event will play a role in the whole story.
Regardless of how the world feels about that recreation of Israel, it is the worst thing that could have ever happened. Our future depends on how we (specifically we Americans, but all Westerners in general, and all Christians throughout the world) see this event. It has been seen through rose-colored glasses, attached to blinders. It is most important for it to be seen clearly, and logically, with unbiased reason. Due to this importance, I feel it necessary to explain quatrain III-97 in much greater detail publicly. I will basically go over it as the “slam dunk”, “easy to see prediction” come true; but I will have to also get into a very deep, detailed breakdown of the total meaning, which flows from a completely accurate translation. That lengthy one I will only present on my website.
Once that is done, due to this important topic needing to be fully comprehended as part of a series of quatrains, I will continue into that series some. In that context, it becomes more apparent just how seriously important this event is to our well-being, and the ultimate well-being of the whole world. In that regard, I will explain two other quatrains in detail, both of which are also relative to this theme. The depth of those explanations will determine where I publish them publicly. If you want to look ahead, those two will be quatrain VI-81 and IX-34. But, that will be a while later. For this writing only III-97 is broken down, and only on simple terms. A deeper breakdown will follow.
The quatrain states in Old French:
Nouvelle loy terre neufve occuper, Vers la Syrie Judee, & Palestine: Le grand empire barbare corruer Avant que Phebés son siecle determine.
The simple translation, one probably similar to the one seen on the History Channel productions, says:
New law new land to occupy, Towards Syria, Judea, & Palestine: The great barbarian empire to crumble Before the century of the sun is determined.
“New law” is a new government. “New land” is where the new government rules. “To occupy”, based on everyone’s knowledge of what “occupy” means, says the people running the government in the new land had to move there. Like a vacant apartment for rent, the new tenants moved in “to occupy” their “new land”, and begin their “new law.” That is the Creation of the State of Israel summed up in line one.
Any doubt about that conclusion from the first line is erased in the second line. “Towards” means, “in the direction of, but not there.” It is a directional preposition, which is telling one in what direction this “new land” can be found. It tells where they will go “to occupy.” Line two offers three locations.
The first two are naming places that Israel is not, but is in that general direction. One is “Syria”, the country along the northern borders. The other is a reference to the biblical days, when there were two nations of Jews. Israel was actually the name for the northern kingdom; while the nation surrounding Jerusalem was called “Judah” (some say Judea). The written reference to “Judah” means (through omission) that Israel is the name of that “new land”.
The third reference is following an ampersand. An ampersand does not mean, “and”. It is like a sign blinking, saying, “SOMETHING REAL IMPORTANT IS TO FOLLOW”. What is very important that follows is “Palestine.” That is important because it is not “Towards” where Israel will be a “new land”, it is “Towards” what used to be known as Palestine. “Palestine” is the name of the old land that existed before the “new land” of Israel came “to occupy.”
If you are observant, you notice a colon exists at the end of “Palestine”. A colon is another sign telling one what to look for next. In the case of a colon, we know some kind of clarification or example of “Palestine” is coming. That clarification is telling us why Palestine would just allow its land to be the “new land” of Israel. The reason is the Ottoman Empire (“The great barbarian empire”) had crumbled. The Ottoman Empire is who used to protect little Palestine, but they were no longer in a position of strength (in 1948). So, Israel could become Israel, while Palestine would become extinct, because the Jews were mightier than the Palestinians were.
Actually, that requires more information to be historically correct. You see, in the year 1900 there were not many Jews in Palestine. By then, Arabs had pushed most Jews off what long before had become their land. Still, by 1909, some Jews were in Palestine, and settled near the Palestinian port city named Jaffa. Those Jews named their settlement Tel Aviv. People who know have said that a good relationship existed between the Arabs of Jaffa and the Jews of Tel Aviv. They got along together fairly well, as well as Arabs and Jews could get along.
Part of the reason they got along was because a Jew causing trouble in Palestine in 1909, while the Ottoman Turks ruled the roost, meant a high degree probability that there would soon be less Jews in Palestine to deal with. The Sultan of Turkey, after all, was a Muslim and he dealt harshly with non-Muslims causing problems. That is why line three is important to understand. At the turn of the Twentieth Century, there was no foreseeable chance in hell that Jews would become mightier than Palestinians (in Palestine), meaning there was no foreseeable chance in hell (in 1909) that a “new land” named Israel would ever take over Palestine. It hadn’t happened for 2,631 years (by 1909), and wasn’t likely to happen if things didn’t drastically change.
What happened between November 2, 1914 and October 29, 1918 was World War I; and it involved the Middle East. The Ottoman Empire was allied with the Germans, against the French, British, and Russians. Long story short, the Germans and Ottomans lost the war. The Russians had a revolution and dropped out of the war (1917), making the French, British, and Americas become the lucky victors. Actually, it was not as if the Turks had lost badly, but they had lost enough will to fight, enough to want to stop fighting altogether. That led to a treaty that was signed at a place near Paris, called Versailles, France (a place built by Kings Louis XIII and XIV).
In that treaty, the Ottoman Empire was set “to crumble”. Like a cookie crumbles into multiple parts, so did the Ottoman Empire. Their vassals, then known as Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine, were stripped from their control, and given over to a “new law” organization, called the League of Nations. The League of Nations was the brainchild of Woody Wilson, the President of the USA. The victors, France and England, loved the idea, and began the league, while the people of the USA never grabbed hold of a “New world order” (Nouveau terre loi) concept, and never allowed the USA to take an official seat there (it was never ratified by the U.S. Congress).
Soon after World War I ended, the League of Nations decided that it would be good if Palestine split in two, as western Palestine and the stuff on the other side of the Jordan River (mostly desert). They called that eastern part Transjordan (from a lack of imagination, as far as naming a place goes). The place known as Syria (which was a collection of five states), had a little coastal piece break off (one of those states), and they called that Lebanon. Since none of these places had strong central governments, due to the Ottomans running their business for them for a long time, someone needed to train the locals in how to run countries themselves.
The League of Nations generated a “New world order”, called a “Mandate.” In their Mandate, they decided that Great Britain would train the people of Palestine, the people of Transjordan, and the people of Mesopotamia (soon to be renamed Iraq). In the meanwhile, the French would train the people of Syria and Lebanon. These “trainers” would officially be known as “Protectorates,” meaning they were to be there to protect little ungoverned bodies from without and within, so no harm unset the plans.
With no predetermined timeframe established in the beginning, as to how long the Mandate for Protectorates would be in effect, they needed to have some goal in mind. The ultimate plan the League of Nations proposed was that all the little places being trained would eventually become their own sovereign nations, ruling themselves. For that reason, all these little ungoverned bodies went along happily. “Please give us our freedom to rule ourselves,” they all said. It was a “New world” all aglitter with “New” ideas, designed to make the First World War (called the War to End All Wars) the last war ever to take place in the world.
Now, remember that in 1908 there were practically no Jews in Palestine. That was under the Ottoman Empire’s control. By 1909, there were a few Jews in Tel Aviv. By 1920, the year the British actually took over as Mandated Protectorate, Jews from around the world began lining up in droves, to apply to legally immigrate to Palestine. They did this for a reason.
Around 1890, some Austrian-Jewish guy (Theodor Herzle) came up with the idea that Jews needed to have a place to call their own, and this place should be around Jerusalem. He did not come up with this idea because he was a deeply devout Jew, who missed being with his ancestors in Jerusalem. He was not one who grieved over not being able to pilgrimage yearly to Jerusalem, to wail at the wailing wall, eat blessed slaughtered offering remains, and other traditional rituals devout Jewish enjoyed. He missed being able to have a safe place to live, where Jews could write “New Laws” to keep European Christians from hating Jews (a tradition there). His idea was purely politically motivated. He had seen Jews pushed around and hated, particularly in Austria, but to some extent wherever they lived in the world. Before they made movies in Hollywood propagandizing the “Less they forget” theme, Theodor was kind of fed up with persecution against Jews.
He reasoned that if God gave Jerusalem to the Jews, then Jews should have Jerusalem as their land. He had no reason to think (for instance), Jews need to take over New York State and have that land to call their own, because a lot of immigrant Jews lived in New York City. No one had ever officially given the “New world” to the Jews. Therefore, he basically picked Jerusalem out of his people’s history, the history in Hebrew, where Jerusalem is called Zion. This guys idea became known as Zionism; and each year afterwards Jews would hold a conference, where they would get together and try to figure out how in the hell they could ever get the Ottoman Empire to let them have Jerusalem. The least of their worries were the facts that Palestinians lived in Palestine, Jerusalem was in Palestine, and Jerusalem was a holy city to all children of Abraham, including all Arabs, who did not like Jews.
These Zionism Zionists (or Jews for Jerusalem) began pooling their money and using it to influence people who were high politicians, especially ones who could easily be influenced by money. Those politicians understood that the British control of Palestine would make it easy to allow more and more Jewish immigrants into Palestine, even though the Palestinians would become more and more agitated by an ever-increasing number of immigrants on their land. They influenced two guys (Brit Mark Sykes and Frenchie François Georges-Picot) to draw up a plan to figure out who would get what, after The British and French defeated the Ottomans. They did that in 1915, a little more than a year after the Turks entered the war, three years before the war would officially end, and five years before the plan would ever be implemented. In November 1917, a British official (Arthur Balfour) announced the Balfour Declaration, which admitted Zionists influenced the Sykes-Picot Agreement, but the British government would support the idea of a Jewish settlement in Palestine, one that would not interfere with the Palestinians in Palestine. A very wealthy British Jew, Lord Rothchild, who wanted a State of Israel created, influenced this declaration.
After their projection of victory came true, the British did indeed begin to allow increasing numbers of Jewish immigrants into Palestine. As they did this, the Palestinians began protesting loudly to their Mandated Protectorate (the British), who were supposed to protect them, while they learned how to run their own land. The British controllers of Palestine acted like they were trying to keep the immigration rates at manageable levels, and would pretend to do something to reduce the numbers, only to have more pressures come from London, telling them to allow more Jews in. This went on for about 18 years, where the numbers of legally immigrated Jews in Palestine swelled each year, until 1938.
Guess what happened around that time. The Germans began acting as if they were not pleased with the terms of Versailles, which gave such tasty morsels to Britain and France to govern (borderland between France and Germany, plus great influence in the the Middle East), while the Germans were forced to pay reparation costs for World War I. They had a guy named Hitler, who was breaking every “New law” in the League of Nation’s book, along with his buds, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco). Germany and Italy began arming themselves (secretly, and not so secretly), while acting expansionistic. The British suddenly realized they needed to keep an eye on European business, as well as watch all the frontier borders, like Palestine, for German and Italians trying to sneak in.
The least of their worries were Jews coming into Palestine, legally or illegally. By 1938, the British were more concerned about helping out their European buds, in particular the French, in what looked like a new confrontation with Germany coming again. Fortunately, the French had built the Maginot Line, just in case the Brits would need to gather behind those defenses. That meant it was open season for illegal immigration into Palestine, between the years 1938 and 1948. That is how the Jews in Palestine could become mightier than the Palestinians. It was all because the “great barbarian empire” had crumbled, and its replacement dominator (Protectorates by Mandate, or the “New law” in town) had a hidden agenda.
This brings us to line four, which is really mistranslated in its simpleton form. Still, it does indicate an “age”, also known as a “century”, will follow the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The word “Phebés” is translated to say, “sun”, which is outright wrong. However, the French word “determine” means, “determined” or “concluded.”
This means the “century” that began when Zionists began colluding to steal Palestine ended in 1990 (1890 – 1990). That means that the “age” of Jews in Palestine (or Israel) just reached 100 last year (1909 – 2009). That means that the “time” of Israel will be “determined” by the year 2048 (or less, if 1948 – 2048). However, what it really means is it will take a “century” for the Arabs to have regained enough strength to become mightier than the Jews in Israel. That anniversary, when what goes around comes around again, comes sometime between now and 2018 (1918 – 2018).
Because we are now in the timeframe of a new “century”, when a whole new “age” began with the new millennium (began 1/1/2001), the necessity of 100 exact number years no longer applies. We are in a “new age” already, the 21st century. The reason quatrain III-97 is so important is its story is one of, “never forgetting a wrong done, until that wrong has been righted.” The Prophecies tells that main theme, through a series of minor themes. That story says that the Palestinians themselves will not be the ones righting this wrong (their land was stolen, in the name of “New law”). They will have a new empire that will right the wrongs for them. It will be like the happy days they once knew; but it will take some time to regroup, to the point of being able to regain the control (and order) that once existed there.
There is a real and present danger that makes realizing this history so important. It is on the “new” instant news on television every day. It is Iran, it is North Korea, it is the Taliban, it is Osama bin Laden, it is (fill in the blank), all hating the USA and its allies. For everyone who has been bought and paid for, to look away from this reality of Palestine illegally becoming Israel, there are as many seeing it as outright theft. Those people are the ones who have been arming themselves, making alliances with other who hate the West, for a myriad of reasons, so they will be able to act with horrible surprise (remember 911?), to get our attention very quickly, making a very strong statement that nothing has been forgotten by anyone on their side of this proverbial fence.
We do not want it to come down to angry men bearing arms (“New legal” weapons, ones from a “New age” of technology) settling this issue. We have to demand this wrong be righted by humane values, based on God’s Law (Thou shalt not steal). We must act for true justice on a matter, one which has festered for over 60 years. We have to understand just how important this is, to them AND to us, in order to act soon; and we cannot act from any understanding that people want to kill us to get even (while taking back that land). We finally have to understand this dire need to simply understand there is an argument that must be settled, not forever put through some knee-jerk political circus, where another failed “peace plan” can lead to more death and destruction. We have to be able to see for ourselves what the core cause is, to know just how wrong that wrong in 1948 was. That is why Quatrain III-97 is so important, and so clear.
This thus ends the “simple” version of quatrain III-97’s interpretation. It is plainly evident now that history has created the event to match its words. It is truly prophetic, foretelling of the coming of a time when a nation called Israel, the biblical name for some of the people who occupied the Promised Land, would be renewed. Still, due to some deeper views of the verbiage used, deeper meaning becomes known. I have brushed on a little of that already here, but I need to specifically address that in a lengthier writing. That will only be seen on my website, [now defunct].
That deeper explanation will make it easier to see how the interpretations of the other two quatrains (VI-81 and IX-34) will expose a deeper truth to why that “re-creation” was actually nothing more than the “theft of land”, using “New law” to justify it. Until then.
I see this quatrain as part III in the Israel Trilogy.
The following is an article I posted on a now defunct website – Pearls of Wisdom about Nostradamus – which was probably written around 2008 or 2009.
——————–
Hello again. A while back I promised to explain a trilogy of quatrains, all of which link to help understand the importance that the recreation of the State of Israel will play, in the story of the end of the world. In that regard, I have previously explained quatrain III-97 and VI-81. I hope everyone has had a chance to scout out what has been written about quatrain IX-34, because that is the topic of this writing. I had warned that VI-81 and IX-34 were “head-scratchers,” because neither appears (at first glance) to have anything to do with Israel. Now I will point out how to see that aspect.
Having done my own research into what the popular interpretations are about quatrain IX-34, I can safely say that some have made a big deal about it being an example of Nostradamus’ truly prophetic powers. The only problem with that summation is it is based on people seeing something absolutely not written as being what was written. Let me explain.
My personal copies of books about Nostradamus (the ones I have now, after Hurricane Katrina ruined the books I once had), primarily one written by John Hogue and another written by Erika Cheetham, both state that quatrain IX-34 is solidly about Louis XVI, and (generally) about some minor events that occurred during the French Revolution. However, a couple of glaring errors need to be addressed, which by themselves destroy their visions.
To begin this part of the discussion, it becomes necessary to provide a student with the evidence in question, which is the quatrain. Following will be presented the Old French, then the translation of an online version of quatrain IX-34 (in English). My translation will come after I have torn apart this French Revolution nonsense, because the 1948 version of Israel has absolutely nothing to do with Louis XVI.
The Old French states (according to the 1568 Lyon edition, the one perfect edition to go by):
Le part soluz mary sera mittré,
Retour conflict passera sur le thuille:
Par cinq cens un trahyr sera tiltré
Narbon & Saulce par coutaux avons dhuille.
Some random site I found on the Internet states this translates:
The single part afflicted will be mitered,
Return conflict to pass over the tile:
For five hundred one to betray will be titled
Narbonne and Salces we have oil for knives.
This translation makes it extremely difficult to stretch to fit the interpretation of Louis XVI, but then the site I found it on offers no interpretation. However, Ms. Cheetham and Mr. Hogue (and others) agree with a translation that looks like this:
The husband, solitary, afflicted, will be mitred,
The return, conflict will cross over the Tuileries:
By five hundred one betrayer will be ennobled,
Narbonne & Saulce, we will have oil for knives.
The most important part of the Louis advocate’s argument comes from transforming “thuille” into “Tuileries.” The place known as Tuileries is a palace that stood on the banks of the Seine River, until it was destroyed in 1871. Its construction and completion was ordered by Louis XIV, and it was the residence of Louis XIV, XV, and XVI, at one time or another. It was called the (in French) Palais des Tuileries, which means, “Palace of the Tile Kilns.” That name came due to the fact that kilns had existed on that site, which were used to make tile. As interesting as that history is to know, it has absolutely nothing to do with the spelled word written by Nostradamus, “thuille.” I will get into the true meaning of “thuille” a little later, but for now, one has to realize something quite obvious.
Such a leap, from “thuille” to “Tuileries” requires some logical explanation, such as, “This is a documented pet name by local French people, who speak a rare dialect.” No one has gone into any level of explanation as to how they deduced, or imagined “thuille” turned itself into “Tuileries.” For one (very important one) thing, lower case letters do not become capitalized letters, particularly if the spelling is changed. For another thing, while the possibility of an unknown word can find it necessary to be examined as an anagram in order to be solved, only the letters used by Nostradamus can be rearranged. There has to be evidence if missing letters are added, such as a dictionary instruction to, “see a differently spelled version.”
Nostradamus wrote “thuille,” and the meaning that comes from those letters, and only those letters, can tell what the meaning is. This is a rule that is plain and simple. This is a rule that works in this quatrain, for this word, and it is a rule that works for every quatrain, for every word. Certainly, there are some allowable exceptions (due to common abbreviations, differences in dialects yielding differences in spelling, et al), but all exceptions have rational explanations. There can be no rational explanation for the name Tuileries appearing from out of nowhere in quatrain IX-34, and that was the most specific detail that allowed one to see Louis XVI.
The other obvious flaw comes from the second capitalized word in line four, “Saulce.” This word actually appears as spelled in the 1611 dictionary, referring one to look up “Sauce.” The word’s meaning then is still how we all know “Sauce.” It is defined as, “A sauce, condiment, seasoning for meat.” Today, we pour “sauce” over spaghetti and many other foods that taste better was a “sauce.” However, because some have thought they saw Tuileries, when only “thuille” existed, some have begun to see the name of some Frenchman surnamed Saulce appearing.
In the history of Louis XVI, after he was caught trying to escape to safety, he spent the night at the house of a man named Saulce (a chandelier maker). Other than that night in a commoner’s home, the man named Saulce is unimportant. It only seems important when one sees an imaginary Tuileries.
Nostradamus only used specific names when he listed planets (Mars, Saturn, etc.), astrological signs (Aries, Leo, etc.), mythological figures (Selene, Bellerophon, etc.), important historical figures (Hannibal, Nero, etc.), historical places (France, Italy, etc.), historical peoples of Europe (Celts, Allobroges, etc.), and cities (Rome, London, etc.). Whether I missed a few proper names that are found in The Prophecies does not matter. All that needs be known is that every name Nostradamus did list was a name from the past, not the future. This means that Nostradamus did not name someone named Saulce. When one takes out the fantastic likelihood that “thuille” can turn into Tuileries, then it becomes easy to see how ridiculous it is to think Nostradamus would name some MINOR character, who played no important role at all in history (keep in mind, a capitalized word is ALWAYS stating importance).
Take away those two errors, and just like a math problem that requires the only correct answer be at the end, after having shown the work getting to that correct answer, the conclusion that Nostradamus wrote quatrain IX-34 about Louis XVI being captured at Varennes and placed under house arrest in the Palace of Tuileries is WRONG. Now, it is time to show how to read this quatrain. Get your notepads and pencils.
EVERY quatrain has a main theme, which is stated in the first line. Without knowing what the main theme is about, one cannot solve the quatrain. The main theme line of quatrain IX-34 is difficult to solve, but it can be realized through higher assistance (which I have been graced with, for your benefit). Still, the systems of Nostradamus show that each line inter-relates in a way that confirms themes, by adding details to those themes. This means one can start at which ever line seems the easiest to understand, and work backwards to the main theme. One can also start from the center and work out in either direction. In the case of this particular quatrain, it is best if I start opening your eyes from line one, and move in order to line four, so you can see how all this interrelationship plays out.
The main theme states (in French), “Le part soluz mary sera mittré,” where the word “mary” is to be read as “mari” (in Nostradamus’ Old French, a “y” = “i.” and often an “i” = “j.” They have to be seen as interchangeable.). What needs to also be realized is that Nostradamus frequently pluralized words that typically are not found with a plural ending. In many cases, the simple addition of an “s,” “z,” or “x” at the end of a verb became a way to turn that verb into a plural noun, as indicating the “ones” who acted in the way of the verb. As such, words with a plural ending need to be looked up with the pluralizing letter removed. This applies to the word, “soluz.” That word must be read as, “solu – z.”
Our aforementioned translators must have read this word as “solos,” since they translated it to make line one say, “The single part,” or “The husband, solitary.” There is nothing in the word “soluz” that says, “single.” The word “solu” is a noun that means, “loose, free, careless, of scope” (meaning, “loose of scope, etc.”). The addition of a “z” at the end makes this become “ones loose of scope, free of scope ones, or careless of scope ones.”
Next, one finds that there never was an accepted spelling of the word “mittré,” where there was an extra “t” in the middle. One finds that Nostradamus had a lot of words with an extra letter, like in the word “mittré,” where the extra letter slips out and attaches to the front of the word, as a contraction of two words. This means the word “mittré” has to be seen as a simple anagram (a simple word scramble, if you will), where it gets read as, “t–mitré.” This then becomes, “yourself mitered.”
With this read as the intention, one must then understand the meaning of “mitered,” which is detailed somewhat in the 1611 dictionary translation. There, Cotsgrave wrote, “hooded with a miter, wearing a miter.” In English, the word “miter” is then defined as, “The liturgical headdress, and part of the insignia of the Christian bishop. In the Western Church it is a tall, pointed hat.” Still, a second definition states, “a. A thong for binding the hair, worn by women in ancient Greece.” It then further states, “b. The ceremonial headdress worn by ancient Jewish high priests.” Hmmmmm, Jewish? Hmmmmmm.
But wait, there is more information found in the etymology, particularly when one looks up “mitre.” The Latin root, which stems from the Greek root, both being “mitra,” means, “turban.” Hmmmmm, like what the Turkish Sultan was known for wearing? Hmmmmmm.
Okay then, knowing that, the whole of line one now states, “The part free of scope ones husband will be wearing a turban,” where one has to read that very slowly, word-by word. Remember, it is imperative to understand the main theme statement to a quatrain correctly. The first word of a line is ALWAYS important, simply because it is always capitalized. This means that even a little old article, like “Le” is important. All by itself, this French article is not limited to stating only, “The.” Depending on the word it attaches to, it can be read as stating, “A,” or “An,” or even (since it a masculine article) “Him.” However, as important, whichever translation fits best, it makes the statement indicated that which is ONE of importance is about to be identified.
That importance of ONE of important significance is then transferred to the following word, like an introduction, “Ladies and gentlemen, here is THE (fill in the blank).” That next word then becomes an important “part,” which bears the same meanings in French or English, but can equate to, “share, portion, piece; joint, quarter; also, a party, side; also, a place, coast, or country.” In another usage altogether, Cotsgrave identified “part” as meaning, “birth, or bringing forth, as of children; the fruit of a woman’s womb; any brood, or litter.” This wide variety of choices means that this main theme operates on many levels of interpretation, such that it cannot be quickly “pencil-whipped.” However, because we have looked ahead to the next word, and found out it is a plural verb, where “ones” are involved (this implies human life forms, rather than inanimate objects), we can pick out a word that will best be an important “part” involving “loose of scope ones.”
Let’s try “The share,” where this becomes an important act of “Sharing,” which implies more than one, but where one of the “Sharing” parties, or sides, is free of scope, or careless of scope. That one party then becomes “The careless of scope ones.” If one had a clue this quatrain was in some way linked to the story of the recreation of the State of Israel (hint: a country), one could begin the main theme statement as, “The country free of scope ones.”
This then leads to the word “mari,” which only means, “husband.” When we look back to the second word, as “share,” one sees how the lead into “husband” is an indication of a marriage. Since Nostradamus was seeing this in 1555, we know it was not a marriage between two of the same, but between two of different persuasions. In this sense, “husband” does not have to mean a male individual, as much as it has to be seen (sorry ladies) as a word of dominance. In fact, when one looks up the definition of the word, “husband,” one finds one specific definition state, “Chiefly British: A manager or steward, as of a household.” Another definition states, “Archaic: A prudent, thrifty manager.” Further, looking into the etymology, as coming from the Norse word “husbondi,” that meaning was, “master of the house.” This means that we are being led to “A manager” in a relationship of “Sharing,” where “An important Share” of responsibility, like in a marriage, falls upon “ones free of scope,” perhaps even “loose of scope,” or “careless of scope.”
At this point, we see what “will be” of this relationship, at which point this turns out to “be wearing a turban.” The use of the future tense of the verb “estre” (now “etre,” meaning “to be”) means that the “husband” had not previously worn such headwear, but “will be” found “wearing a turban” after becoming a “husband,” or “manager.” On the other hand, it also means that at the time of the marriage, when one is declared wedded in “partnership,” the “free of scope ones will be wearing a Christian bishop’s tall hat.”
Take a moment to see how that same set of words says two things at the same time. That is called “amphibological,” which means (from the Greek root), “to throw on either side.” Nostradamus explained in his Letter to Henry II that his words must be read in this manner. That is why syntax has to be tossed out the window. Nothing only means one thing. There is ALWAYS an alternate view, where all views make sense.
Now, with me whispering softly, “This quatrain is in the story told by linking quatrains, about the recreations of the State of Israel,” allow yourself have an eye-opening moment. See that the main theme is talking about the British, in 1918-1920, being announced as the new manager of Palestine (and after a split of Palestine, Transjordan), as well as Mesopotamia, by the brand new League of Nations. Those lands had previously had to share rule with the Ottoman Empire, who acted the role of “husband,” or “manager,” or “steward.” But due to that Mandate as Protectorate, “A portion” of the Middle East was given to the British to manage as they felt best (“free of scope”), for the ultimate good of those countries. In addition, the French would also get “A share,” as they would be the Mandated Protectorate over Syria (and after a later split, Lebanon). That is the meaning of the main theme in this quatrain.
The Cairo Conference of 1921. Those guys had big plans for their new acquisitions in the Middle East. And, this was before oil was discovered and militaries depended on petrol.
Having that eye-opening experience in mind, it becomes time to look at line two. Line two of EVERY quatrain is where the secondary theme is found. A secondary theme is a theme that is related to the primary theme, but still free to take another slant on things, or to come from another perspective, relative to one overall historic event. The secondary theme of quatrain IX-34 states (in Old French), “Retour conflict passera sur le thuille,” where that word “thuille” is known to not mean, “Tuileries.”
If one recalls, back in line one there was that word “mittré,” where one of the “t’s” was removed, and placed at the front of the word “mitré,” as a common French contraction. To understand the word “thuille,” one has to see the “t” at the beginning as being another contraction. This means what one is seeing is really “t’huille,” which states, “you oil,” or “yourself oil.” To get an idea how this sort of contracted word is being present, without the presence of an apostrophe, and to make it all seem official, look at the last word of this quatrain. You will find that Nostradamus had the printer display “dhuile.” There is no word spelled “dhuile,” but that series of letters makes perfect sense as, “d’huile.” It is a standard practice in translating The Prophecies, and it falls under the guideline, “Lacking marks and punctuation can be freely added as needed, while no written marks or punctuation can be deleted.”
Now, if one is very attentive, one might have spotted how the rhyming word at the end of line two is very similar to the rhyming word in line four. Line two ends “t’huille,” and line four ends “d’huile.” The main word appears to be the same, which means they could also mean the same thing. In fact, “huille” meant “oil” in 1611, but while defining the word as such, Cotsgrave referred one to also look up “huile.” The “one-elled” version is defined as both “huile” and “huilé.” The “double-elled” version can also be accented, as “huillé.” All words are related to “oil,” but there are some subtle differences that justified the need for the same word being with one “l” and with two “l’s.” For now, just toss the word “oil” in the back of your mind, along with the whispers about this quatrain being about the Middle East.
When we go back now and look at line two as one statement, we can see it saying, “Return conflict will pass above them yourself oiled” (using the accented “t’huillé”). As some kind of syntactical “sentence,” it is easy to grasp how one has moved from the main theme statement, and the surrender of the World War I Axis, to a secondary theme focusing on World War II. From one war to another is a major (capitalization) “Return” to “conflict.” This can even be further supported by the words, “will pass above it,” where our little article friend, “le” can be read as the stand-alone word “it.” That recognizes the increased amount of aerial combat, including bombing raids, which was part of that “Return conflict.” In this sense, the main theme is one time period (the beginning of the marriage between England and France with the Middle East), while line two is stating a later timeframe, when that marriage would be soon ended. Still, the main theme is intact, about “The share” of rule there.
This is where one has to refocus the eyeballs, and look at line two from a different angle. This angle is relevant to the whispers about Israel being part of the mix, as a result, when there was no Israel during World War II. This means one has to go back to the capitalized first word, “Return,” and see it with a higher level of meaning. Upon further inspection, one can even realize that the French word “Retour” can also mean, “Returning” or “Coming back.” This is the word that links line two directly to line one. This is where “mitre,” when read as the “ceremonial headdress worn by ancient Jewish high priests,” has additional meaning.
This is where the element of Zionism comes into play. The “Jewish high priests” were only found at the Temple in Jerusalem. The city Jerusalem is called Zion in Hebrew. The Zionist movement began as a group of Jews desiring to “Return” Jews to Jerusalem, with that city being the focal point of a new Jewish homeland. Therefore, the first word of line two is showing an important movement towards that “Return” being realized, in the period between the two wars.
Before line one, there were very few Jews in Palestine, much less in Jerusalem. By the beginning of line two, Jews, under the “free scope ones,” or the “careless scope ones” British (for almost 20 years) there were many Jews in Palestine. At this point, one can take the words “conflict passera sur le” and turn out a translation that states, “battle will suffer before it.” This would be the suffering that the Jews of Europe faced, as part of Hitler’s Holocaust. The world would be made aware of this tragedy, before the new United Nations would recognize Israel as a new land (quatrain III-97).
This then returns focus to the last word, where “oil” became as valuable as gold. All of Europe would suffer at the hand of Hitler, largely due to his tank corps and his Luftwaffe air corps. All of these machines ran on fuel extracted from “oil.” The fact that “oil” was not discovered in Saudi Arabia until 1938, at the beginning of Hitler’s hostile expansions, is significant. Germany had become allied with most Middle Eastern nations, in part, if not largely because of similar anti-Semitic views. Since Hitler had no large deposits of “oil” in Germany, he needed to get that raw material from an ally which did have “oil.” While the Arabs owned the oil fields, it was British Petroleum that was processing it and selling it at a profit. In that regard, the Germans were buying Arab “oil” from the British, for use in German tanks and planes, which in turn were sent to do battle against the British. It meant, “battle will hold on course toward it,” allowing more civilians to suffer from Hitler’s plan to purify the racial genes of Europe.
From that level of atrocity that occurred during World War II, and due to the new important role that “oil” would play in the world’s power games, two birds could be struck with one stone. The British could allow the Zionists to create the homeland they desired, and that new homeland could secure British interests in the oil fields of the Middle East. As such, after the “Return conflict will pass” the British, their allied victors (mainly the USA) would place “on it” (both the Jews and the Palestinians) their good wishes. In that regard, “you (British) anointed with oil” the new owners of Middle Eastern property, while “yourself oiled” as the sole controllers of Saudi, Kuwaiti, and Iraqi oil fields, as well as having “yourself anointed with oil” the Shah of Iran (the daddy of the last Shah of Iran).
All of that anointing with oil is relative to who had their own freedom in the Middle East, following World War II. The story of Lawrence of Arabia took place in World War I, and largely took place in Mesopotamia, rather than what we know as Saudi Arabia today. Mesopotamia was where the Germans, who were allied with the Ottomans, had a strong presence. Along the Persian Gulf, small “sheikdoms,” like Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain, as well as the large Arabian Peninsula, were technically under Ottoman domination, but without a real presence. This was the land dominated by what would become the crown princes of Saudi Arabia, and a few others Bedouin-led tribal territories. It was these sheikdoms that assisted Lieutenant Colonel T. E. Lawrence in his “terrorist activities” against the building of a German financed and constructed railroad, which went through Kuwait, Mesopotamia, and Arabia. Due to the support of these fiefdoms during the “Arab Revolution,” who aided Lawrence against the Germans and Ottomans, the promised reward would be their freedom, as independent nations. Great Britain had promised them that they would help them in that endeavor.
When “oil” was discovered in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and all others in the late 1930s, the British were glad they held dominion over the progress of those small nations towards independence. While the British were not officially mandated as Protectorates in some places, that did not keep them from exercising strong influence, even control over many Middle Eastern nations. Eventually, as reward for their dedication to British wealth, one-by-one all were eventually given status as independent countries. Kuwait, for instance, was officially allowed to run itself in 1961, almost 45 years after World War I.

That history leads us to line three. On the whole, line three states (in Old French), “Parcinq cens un trahy sera tiltré.” That appears to state, “For five hundred one betrayed will be entitled,” but it does not. Numbers in The Prophecies are designed to throw people off. This is especially found when a string of numbers appears together. The immediate tendency is to get all excited and start thinking it means a multiple digit number, like “five hundred one” usually converts in our brains to be “501.” Unfortunately, EVERY word must be understood separately, so “five” has to be understood before anything else.
If you were keeping count during the history lesson, one might have noticed that I named “five” countries that were given over to the British and French to “manage,” by the League of Nations. Those “five” were Syria and Lebanon (to the French), with Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Transjordan (to the British). Take my word for it; you will need to remember those names and that number.
The word that follows “five,” “cens,” does not translate to state “a hundred,” even though it does, some places, at some times. The spelling, “cens,” is shortened by one “t,” where the word for “hundreds” is actually “cents.” That does not work with The Prophecies. While there is a rule making it okay to add a mark or punctuation, when such marks are absent, no such rule applies to letters. That means one must find if a word spelled “cens” actually exists first, in French or Latin, before we can go imagining letters that are not there.
Low and behold, there is an Old French word perfectly spelled as “cens.” That word translates to mean, “rent of assist, quick rent, old rent, or chief rent.” That means one has to understand what a “rent of assist” is. About this history, Randle Cotsgrave wrote, “The first pecuniary charges laid on conquered or unrented land, as a sign or acknowledgment of the direct [Sovereignty of lordship] of him that grants it [the rent of assist].” He then continued, “This charge had its origin from the first conquest of Gallia [ancient France] by the French. [From them] whose princes [gave] whole territories unto their captains, who made a division thereof unto their soldiers, and the natural inhabitants of the country. [This was done] on condition that those should assist, and attend them [the lands] in the wars (which condition, being a trust, they be a Fief). [Additionally stipulated was] that these should till their land, and pay unto them for it such yearly rents, or tributes, as they had formerly yielded to the Romans. Thus, this charge was imposed at first as a resemblance of former servitude. It continues to this day [1611] as a mark of a base, or servile, tenure.”
Let me sum that up for everyone, as a comparison to what happened at the end of World War I. The British and French were conquerors of the Ottoman Empire, which held the five territories I mentioned previously. The League of Nations acted like the Seignory, or the all-powerful Sovereignty, who doled out conquered lands. Its captains were France and Great Britain, who then allowed the poor folks of those five countries to stay where they were, but with the condition that they all had to pay their “Protectorates,” until such time that the Protectorates decided to give the people a cut of the conquered land.
Now, in line three we have to recognize that a directional preposition is capitalized, “Par.” That word either means, “By reason of, By, Through, For, Of, or On,” while having the right to mean all of those things, one at a time. That directional preposition is linking back to line two, which ended with a colon. That means line three is a clarification of the newfound importance of the Middle East, due to the discovery and need for “oil.” This makes the translation “By reason of” be an excellent place to begin, because a clarification requires a reason; and it would be good to have a reason that relates to the main theme of foreign governments managing while wearing “turbans.”
Because of the great importance of “oil,” the British had good reason to be in the region of the world’s greatest “oil” deposits. They were entrenched there “By reason of” three of the “five” nations given to them as conqueror spoils (“cens,” or “rent assist ones”). The French were also in a good position, “By reason of” two of those “five.” All of the “five” were “tenants” of the Almighty League of Nations, suddenly no longer in existence, although it was reforming to become the Almighty United Nations. Those were the new masters who owed the very air the “five” breathed, as they slaved for their captains of industry (British Petroleum, etc.). This means those “five” were “rent of assist nations,” under ancient ways of doing things, as far as the spoils of war are concerned.
This is where we come to the last of those three “numbers,” which is “one.” That one word can only be a number, representing a single entity, thus “one.” Since this number follows the prior “five,” it is “one” of those “five cens.” It is also one of those two captains (France and Great Britain), who governed over the “five.” Of who decided those two, it was the “one” entity (the U.N.) which ruled to determine the ruling who would rule over each of the “five:” Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan, and Mesopotamia. Still, at this point, it could be any “one” of the “five.”
One begins to whittle down those “five” to the right “one” with the next word. That word is “betrayed,” or the other possibility of translation, the “one treacherously dealt with.” In the history of this “rent of assist” set up, the League of Nations had given “free reign” to the British and French, to rule with the expressed goal being eventual independence. All the “five” had to do was keep the land picked up nicely, while the British and French were out going to wars. When World War II was over, those nations had done their part, even though the Nazis were trying to recruit them to fight the British and French. However, when all was said and done, “one” would not see the bargain fulfilled by one of the captains, because that “one” would instead be “betrayed,” and “treacherously dealt with.”
That betrayal is then explained by what “will be” (from “sera”), which then says the word that means, “titled, entitled, and/or given the deed, or title to land” (from “tiltré”). In other words, “one would be treacherously dealt with,” in regard to being given ownership of its own land. The “one” betraying was Great Britain, and the “one treacherously dealt with” was Palestine. That is a clarification of how much of a role “oil” played in that decision, as the reason the Brits would cheat a nation out of what was rightfully theirs to begin with (a Palestinian deed to Palestine), for the sake of being close to (and thus able to better control of) lands containing “oil.”
Line four begins with what appears to be two proper names; but just like thinking three numbers equates to one big number was wrong, Nostradamus warned in his preface about thinking names of places always mean names of places. That is what the first word appears to be, because there is a city in France named Narbonne, which the Romans called Narbo Martius, and some of the regional dialects call Narbona. The problem is the word written is “Narbon,” which is not any of the above. That actually is a good thing, because Narbonne, France has nothing to do with the British cheating Palestine.
In the letter of preface that Nostradamus wrote for understanding The Prophecies, he stated, “limitant la particularité des lieux,” which says, “limiting the particularity of the places.” By definition (of “particularity”), this is saying that the quatrains are particular, or following “great attentiveness to detail,” but the “places” have had this “particularity limited.” That means only so many “places” are actually named by Nostradamus, such that they are meant to be recognized immediately. When some “word” comes up that looks like it is identifying a “place,” like “Narbon,” Nostradamus instructed the reader not to jump to any conclusions that the “place” Narbonne is the meaning intended. The “particularity” comes from realizing that what is spelled in a quatrain (the 1568 Lyon edition only) is what was meant to be spelled. There are no misspelled names of cities, because of the “particularity of the places.”
This means that “Narbon” is some form of manufactured word, like an anagram (letters scrambled), or a word that includes contractions and roots of words. In the case of “Narbon,” it can be seen as being “N’arb-on,” which would express, “Not (Ne) one (-on) of business affairs (arb.).” The word “arb” is an accepted informal word for “arbitrageur,” which (as far as Old French was concerned) is one who argues before a judge (an arbiter), over a matter in arbitration (a process where disputing parties present their arguments). This makes perfect sense in the theme of this quatrain.
Certainly, the Palestinians did not go down without a fight over the legalities of the theft of their land, due to the rent of assist promises made previously, by the then defunct League of Nations. There was subversion at play among the judges hearing their legal complaints, partly because the United Nations – League of Nations ventures into the Middle East were designed to steal Palestine and make it appear on the up and up. Making matters worse, the Arabs of Palestine were not skilled in the matters of legal business. At least, the Palestinians were not as skilled as the slick tongued British.
The history of the debate, and how that played out in the new United Nations, is recorded in the last step involving the U.N. Palestine Commission. The commission was established to ram through a Partition Plan for Palestine, which included two separate nations, Palestine and Israel. It convened in early January 1948, with a preset deadline of October the same year. The Palestinian delegation adjourned on May 17, 1948, “sine die,” which means, “without a next date scheduled.” The discussions were not going in the direction the Palestinians wanted, so their next step was war, followed by flight as refugees. Certainly, the Palestine representatives were importantly “Not one of business affairs.”
This then leads to an ampersand, which is a mark that identifies what to follow is important. What follows that is the capitalized word “Saulce,” which has nothing to do with some Frenchman of the 18th century. Here we have a simple anagram, even though it too can be spread apart like “Narbon” was, to find the true meaning. In my mind, the anagram works best, such that ending “ce” (French for “this, that”) goes to the front. Walla, presto, chango and one sees, ce Saul, or “this Saul.” Nostradamus used a name from Israel’s past.
If one knows even a little biblical history, it becomes easy to see the IMPORTANCE of this name. “Saul” was the first king of the Israelites. Following the failure of the Palestinian delegation to cease the Partition Plan in the U.N., Israel would have a leader take control on the battlefields of Palestine. That would be David Ben-Gurion, who would then become Israel’s first Prime Minister. He would become this new version of “Saul,” who was chosen by the children of Israel because of his warrior abilities, rather than his connection to God.
At this point we encounter the second presentation of the directional preposition, “par.” As a rule, multiple uses of the same word in a quatrain calls for multiple translation uses, if the word has that capability. In the case of “par,” it has several (as mentioned previously), but the one that I like here is “for.” This works well with “this Saul,” as Ben-Gurion was “for” the new Israel, thus being representative of the impact Israel would have on those “for” their survival, as well as on those “for” their removal. This then connects well to the following word, as well, which translates as, “expensive” (from “coutaux”).
If one is observant, one realizes that the original translations all said something about “knives.” That is because the word “couteaux” means “knives.” Unfortunately, Nostradamus did not write an extra “e” in “coutaux,” so it is either translated as “cout-aux” (cost-to them), or an allowable variation (based on very similar spelling, with the same meaning) “couteux” (expensive, costly). Both “cout-aux” and “couteux” refer to the same condition of “cost.” This means that “for” Israel to remain, or be overthrown, it would be “expensive.” The cost would certainly mean monies to finance wars, but more importantly the cost to them who would die trying to forcibly remove unwanted people, or forcibly try to protect against unwanted people.
The next word, “avons,” is perhaps best translated to state, “hold,” or even “obtain.” The use of “hold” is perfectly representative of the length of time this conflict has raged, non-stop (on one level or another). Both sides have held their stance on this matter. Where “obtain” comes into play is how one gets the money to “hold” an “expensive” grudge. The answer is to “obtain” arms from those willing to give you money. The Israelis have their sugar daddy in the United States (I heard $300-million annually for arms), while the Palestinians have some wealthy neighbors to their southeast, who are Arab and doing fairly well for themselves. As long as this financial support is maintained, the fighting will never cease.
Of course, a smart person would ask, “Why would nations keep giving so much money so Palestinians and Jews can forever try to kill one another?” The answer comes from the last word, “dhuile.” It is the same “huile” we saw earlier. Nostradamus explained why Israel was needed to be in position in the long run, after all is said and done. The reason is “from oil” having been discovered and pumped out of the ground, making military vehicles roll, and airplanes fly, and big companies in big nations wealthy. Of course, along the way the Arabs nationalized their “oil” fields, meaning they got rich selling it to those big “oil” companies and big nations. So, in essence, the USA is paying Israel to kill Palestinians, while (indirectly) also paying the Palestinians to kill Jews. If only there was no “oil.”
One last thing, before I leave you to your thoughts. Here is what David Ben-Gurion said about the “Arab problem” in 1956.
“Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country … There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps forget in one or two generations’ time, but for the moment there is no chance. So it is simple: we have to stay strong and maintain a powerful army.” (from Wikipedia article, “David Ben-Gurion,” with their cited source, “Nahum Goldman, ‘The Jewish Paradox’, translated by Steve Cox, 1978, ISBN 0-448-15166-9, p. 98, p. 100, p. 99 )
With all of this known, quatrain IX-34 can be read so as to give a much better idea of what it is about, when the translation is as follows. Please keep in mind that the depth of each word’s meanings makes it impossible to write one translation of a quatrain that expresses the totality of the quatrain’s meaning. Understanding requires thinking with feeling.

I took a philosophy course in 1997. The course was named, “The Philosophy of Conspiracy Theory.” About midway through the quarter, the movie (starring Mel Gibson) came out, entitled “Conspiracy Theory.” As the credits ran, during the first five minutes of that film, much of what the course our professor was teaching was covered. The central theme of both was a “shadow government” being in control, leading the world to one central government.
An Australian named David Icke wrote the main textbook we read and discussed. I call him “Icky,” but the name is pronounced, “Ike,” as in the old slogan, “I like Ike.” The one element the movie did not bring out was this “shadow government” being led and advised by aliens. By “aliens,” I do not mean illegal aliens from Mexico. I mean flying saucer aliens. According to Icke, the only indigenous living life form that planet Earth can claim is the lizard. All else is a hybrid, fashioned by aliens.
My professor wrote the other main text we discussed. He first published his book, which agreed with Icke, especially as far as an alien presence was concerned, in 1995, but had a second edition by 1997. Each edition ended with the prediction that the government would make the alien presence public. Because that did not happen in 1995, he edited it so the book we had to buy said it would happen in 1997. Since that public announcement has yet to come true, I imagine he has several editions, each requiring a new edition each year the aliens stay hidden and secret.
I mention this because I watched a new History Channel program (series), entitled “Ancient Aliens.” It focuses on how history has many pieces of evidence that ancient peoples witnessed aliens and their crafts, but just did not know how to term what they saw in documents and drawings they produced, because they were so impressed with what aliens could do, and they not do. The Holy Bible is a source of some of the strange descriptions, which all the talking heads say it detailing spaceships and aliens, not chariots for the gods and angels.
When I first began to understand Nostradamus, I wanted to get published as quickly as possible, but knew absolutely nothing about how to be published. I dug up my old syllabus from my 1997 “Philosophy of Conspiracy Theory” class, and found the home telephone number for that philosophy professor. He had welcomed us to call him anytime, so I called him four years after the class ended.
I told him who I was, and he remembered me. I told him that I had discovered the meaning of The Prophecies of Nostradamus, and he asked me to tell him what that was. After trying to explain thing after thing that I had found in the quatrains (barely touching the surface), he stopped me and asked, “But Robert, what about the aliens?”
I was stunned. I had seen no aliens in the quatrains. Besides, I did not think he was serious about aliens. As a philosophy professor, I thought he knew that logic was the key to making sound conclusions. The class was designed to look at the evidence presented in theories of conspiracy and logically conclude if there was reason to believe or not. The evidence presented in the class was an indication that there was indeed a conspiracy within the governments of the world to manipulate the huddled masses secretly, but I found the evidence of aliens weak, at best. I stammered back to him, “Well, there are some strange things predicted to be exposed in the future. I’m not sure I saw aliens, however.”
The professor eventually told me to send him a draft of what I saw the meaning of Nostradamus to be. He gave me his address, and I sent him a 70-page paper, poorly written, stringing one event to another, from the Creation of Israel to the return of Christ. No aliens, but some stuff uncovered after a major earthquake that looked like the unleashing of the evils shown in the movie “The Mummy” (the original, with Boris Karloff). I called him a week later, and he did not read most of what I wrote. He just gave me the same advice everyone knowledgeable of the publishing industry has, which is, “Keep it short.” He then wished me luck.
At this point in time, I have conceded the fact that no one cares to listen to what I offer about delaying the end of the world (by acting now). So, the end of the world is like a ticking time bomb that will go off. The only question now is, “When?”
That answer would only interest the bozos who would pull up lawn chairs, throw on some dark shades, and wait for the nukes to start going off, or asteroids start streaming into the planet, vaporizing everything instantly. Let the Mayan calendar set the date. Nostradamus does not make it clear, and I see no need in trying to interpret what dates could be read, because that is not the purpose of knowing how to read The Prophecies. Waiting for a big show to be some form of proof, thus reason to believe, is too little, too late. It would be better now to just let the end begin with everyone in his or her own safety zone (head in the sand comfort). Then, when it has all begun (and can never be stopped), just let the lamentations start when all the stuff hits the fan.
One thing that is certain, and that is regardless of how many will die in the first day of the End Times, many, many more will live to suffer more and more, as time goes by. The End Times will last a while. The number one cause of death will be famine. That is relative to the opening of the third seal, when the black horse appears, whose rider holds scales, and the value of wheat, barley, oil, and wine will go way up. This state of famine is followed by the fourth seal being opened, bringing out the pale horse, ridden by Death, and followed by Hell. Revelation 6:8b states, “And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” Therefore, as fast as that End Time reads, it will stretch out for some time, in human years.
In case there are those who might think some aliens will rescue the world, I think it is best to realize where aliens come from to begin with. There are strange beings in our midst, for sure, and they are highly evolved, with technology capabilities that have been discovered (with alien assistance, perhaps) and utilized in the advancements over the past 60-75 years. Unfortunately, they are not extraterrestrial life forms. They did not come from some distant solar system.
Think about it. If you ever watched the television series “V,” or “The Event,” a theme in both was an alien presence that was here on earth (for quite some time), preparing to bring many more aliens and make earth their home, and humans their slaves (if not their food). I imagine, if I was an alien presence on earth, I would want mass hysteria overtake the people of earth, and have them automatically think I was some kind of super creature, incapable of being easily defeated. I would have ray guns and the ability to look human, so no one could recognize me as an alien. I would also want everyone looking up in the air, towards outer space, wondering from which way the mother ship would be coming.
Of course, all that would be deception, by design, getting fear as my ally, and everyone looking in the wrong direction. The reality is the “aliens” are simply earthlings who lived on the surface of the planet 15,000-7,000 years ago. They were the remnants of the cultures that thrived in Atlantis, Mu, and Lemuria, as well as other places following the one huge continent originally on earth idea, Pangaea. When Plato wrote about Atlantis sinking in three stages, he meant the people who survived those sinkings went underground. In biblical terms, they were the “angels” who supported Lucifer, and they would eventually lose that war, being cast into the center of the earth (the great pit, or abyss). This means “aliens” are the agents of the End Times, who will be freed from that deep hole by the Antichrist, to bring about tremendous misery to human beings.
This is how a major earthquake, as clearly prophesied by Nostradamus, still to come, will expose evidence of one of these long lost civilizations. Just like in “The Mummy,” a curse will be found and translated. An evil presence will be released upon the world. If one wants to view the announcement of aliens as akin to the Antichrist being seen by the vast majority of the population as the new savior of humanity, one could then remember the theme from “V.” The aliens will be promoted as having come from outer space to save the world. All rejoice! Worship our newfound friends. Then, all prepare to be sucker punched.
If the closest solar system were one light-year away, if aliens had to fly to earth from that far away, the ship they would be flying in would probably break from excessive use, with no guarantees the place they left was still inhabited by people who still remembered they had left. Space travel is a ridiculous notion, comparable to deep-sea travel. The deeper one goes in the sea, the less likely one will survive for any length of time, due to the pressure on the hull. The farther one tries to travel in space the more likely it is the same breech of a hull would occur. If wormholes do exist, it is more probable they take one at a time to wherever it goes, without large numbers of people in spaceships flying into them, knowing where they go.
All this means that flying craft seen throughout the history of earth come from earth, designed to fly in the air and waters of earth, and probably as far as the moon. The “Ancient Alien” show even mentioned the moon is metallic and placed there by aliens. No doubt, it would have been made on earth and flown into earth’s orbit, rather than flown from light-years away, and for some unknown reason placed into orbit around Earth. Large numbers of aliens could live inside the moon, building their crafts there, flying out of the “bottomless crater holes” on the moon’s surface (a tidbit mentioned on “Ancient Aliens”), soon to enter into the earth’s air and sea atmospheres, to safety in underground lairs.
In the Book of Genesis, chapter 11, verses 1 through 9 tell the story of the “Tower of Babel.” Verse one states, “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.” Rather than think “the whole earth” means just the known world, read that as a statement of a “universal language.” Then, when you read the words, “of one speech,” do not see that as a spoken language, such as Latin, or Greek, but as meaning, “of one form of communication.” That means “of speech” is simply one way of getting ideas known by people of all spoken languages, through the use of “one universal language.” That “language” is today termed mathematics.
When you see this meaning stated in the first line of this story, a “tower” designed from mathematical calculations. A tower designed “to reach unto heaven” (from verse four) is not unlike the tower positioned in Cape Canaveral, Florida, which they set rockets and space shuttles onto. The universal language of mathematics likewise designs these crafts. The objective is to shoot rockets, satellites, and human beings into the space beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. The moon is beyond that atmosphere, and thus is an orb of heaven. From a perspective of Earth’s orbital heaven, satellite technology allows those “scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth” (Genesis 11:4b) to be connected, via the universal languages utilizing imagery, symbols, mathematics, and common spoken language.
The fact that God saw this effort by human beings as bad, because they were trying to play gods, means that technology has resurfaced in our times. President John Kennedy promised, in 1960, to reach the moon by the end of the decade. The Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash occurred in 1948, which made such a bold goal achievable. The “Ancient Aliens” show made a point of Nazi experiments that seemed too advanced for natural mathematics to solve, alluding to them being assisted by aliens towards developing rocket technology. The show said they were working on an atomic bomb well before the Americas, but suddenly stopped, killing everyone who worked on that project. All of this represents huge leaps of knowledge, beginning in the 1930’s. Human beings once again found a way to use mathematics to play god; and the angels of Satan have assisted them. The real God detects the same evil once again, a repeating of the story written of in Genesis.
In Genesis, it is written that God saw what humanity was doing, such that He said, “now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” (Genesis 11:6b) This has to be read as a danger to mankind, rather than some threat to God. With human beings not possessing the knowledge of foresight, having the ability to have “nothing restrain them” from their own errors, never knowing the future, simply “imagining” what their act will create, the results is summed up as, “be careful what you wish for.”
This unrestrained knowledge means man will have become too dangerous for man to survive the effects of his playing with fire. For that reason, God acted to save humanity by, sending His angels to “confound the language of all the earth.” (Genesis 11:9) This could be summed up, in essence, as errors in mathematics that caused tragic failures. Those would be found in mechanical failures, unplanned magnetic field anomalies, and/or erratic trajectory calculations, all of which would equate to crashed spacecraft. “Ancient Aliens” pointed out how many times in history human beings have witnessed such crashes of alien crafts. They happened so frequently that one can only conclude either the aliens were very bad drivers (pilots), or they were not quite smart enough to develop flying saucers with Mercedes Benz parallel parking technology. Such “confounding” would mean the end of trying to act like gods.
This story of the “Tower of Babel” is followed by verse 10, which shifts the focus to, “This is the account of Shem’s family line. Two years after the flood.” This means that the “Tower of Babel” was not only confounded by the failure of all aliens to master the whole world in one universal language of technology, but it was destroyed (if not only set back a few thousand years) by the Great Flood. This could be one of the ways the technology of man, unrestrained, brought about the flood, perhaps through acts that altered the Earth’s magnetic poles, causing a polar shift, which in turn generated a global flood.
If so, this is how we are living in parallel days, which means the unleashing of nuclear weapons could have such a drastic effect on the whole world that man once again will prove how an imagination unrestrained will only lead to ruin. The restraint is faith in God, allowing God to do godlike things, rather than man trying to do it alone. Shem would begat Abram, which would begat the chosen children of God. They would be the ones to direct humanity away from repeating such errors, by not knowing faith in the true God. The tower of Babel was built by those who worshipped the angels of Lucifer, which was a danger to the whole of the world. This is the danger of faithlessness, and a repeating of that danger is written into The Prophecies.
I think it is an important sign that NASA has concluded it “Tower of Babel” project, which grew from sending chimps into orbit, landing on the moon (“Ancient Aliens” said that landing made the moon ring like a bell for days after – made of metal, folks), to building a manned space station. There is no need to fund such projects any longer, as we already have seen the confounding of blown up launches, and burnt up reentries. The next error will be space debris slamming into the space station, at which time the space station will cease to exist, and all on board will be instantly killed. The reality of reaching into heaven is that only immortals can survive such cold places. Human beings need not attempt such imaginative things. Therefore, our shadow government knows that physical space travel is impossible, so the time has come to stop wasting money on a project that will only lose the public’s support.
We are in the times when the first seal has already been opened. The first seal prophesies that out will come “a white horse.” This symbolizes a Christian soldier (white means Christian in The Prophecies), because “he that sat on him had a bow (a weapon that fires missiles); and a crown was given unto him.” This is explaining an Emperor, on the level of an Empire like America’s, who would go “forth conquering, and to conquer.” This is then representing a new Christian Crusade against Muslims.
This sounds an awful lot like that “one world government” that David Icke said was the goal of the shadow government, guided by the aliens (angels of Lucifer). Was this W. Bush? Is this Obama, or will it be the one after Obama? Whoever it is, it will be one who represents a pretense to be Christian, when in reality it will be a warrior plotting to ruin the world. This will lead to the war Nostradamus warned about, followed by the famine that is already building.
Aside Note: In five of the quatrains is written some form of the French word vert, which means (basically) “green.” In The Prophecies the use of colors is metaphor. For example, “white” refers to Christians and “black” refers to Muslims. The color “red” refers to atheists and “yellow” to polytheistic people of faith. Does that make “green” refer to California tree-huggers (those who paste posters of Regretta Thorninubung [now kidnapped by Jews]); or, does it refer to the lizard people my old professor and Icke said were here? While getting a picture of Icke from the Wiktionary artile on him, this picture and caption came up:
In his 2001 documentary about Icke, Jon Ronson cited this cartoon, “Rothschild” (1898), by Charles Léandre, arguing that Jews have long been depicted as lizard-like creatures who are out to control the world.
In the 950 poems of The Prophecies, written by Nostradamus, repetition is a signal of importance. In nine quatrains (.009) is the word “twenty” found, in some variation. Four times this is capitalized, as Vingt or Vingtz. Four times it is in the lower-case, as vingt. Once it appears as vingtcinq, which can be read either as twenty five (as vingt cinq) or as twenty-five.
There are four quatrains that contain some form of “thirty” (two capitalized as Trente and two in lower-case as trente). Three include the word “forty” (quarante each time). One states “fifty” (cinquante). Three contain a word stating “sixty” (once as soyxante, and twice abbreviated: as SIX. And SEXT.) Variations of “seventy” appear in two quatrains (as septante and septanteneuf). The word for “eighty” (octante) appears once. The word for “ninety” (nonante) shows up twice.
This repetition makes the number “twenty” stand out, as it is written more times than any of these other numbers divisible by ten.
Why? You may ask.
Often, one of these numbers will be associated with the word “degrees” or the word “year” or “years.” One example is quatrain VI-97, where line one states: “Five & forty degrees sky will burn.” The number “forty” is connected to “degrees,” which is basically the northern latitude of New York City, with Washington, D.C. and Boston, MA being within “Five” “degrees” of spread (north and south) of “forty degrees.” In quatrain I-17, “forty” connects to “years,” as line one states: “For forty years the Rainbow not will be seen.” In quatrain V-98 is written in line one: “At forty eight degree climacterically,” where the separation of “forty” from “eight” can refer to the “forty years” of quatrain I-17, where “eight degree” can be longitude (east), which runs through Norway, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Algeria, Tunisia, Niger, and Nigeria. It can also reflect the “forty-eight degree” of north latitude, which runs through France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Russia, Kazakhstan, China, the United States and Canada. This says such a number can reflect a time frame or a general area of the world.
The number “twenty” is connected to the word “years” (ans) in three quatrains. This can certainly project a span of two decades in time. The point I want to make now is “twenty years” (especially when a capitalized Vingt is twice linked to ans) can be read as a decade (ten “years”) that is related specifically to the number “twenty.” I write and post this in January, in the “year” 20 24. This begins the fourth “year” of ten “years” that will be identified as “twenty,” based on this new millennium the world now recognizes.
Because the number “twenty” stands out as important, it makes this decade we are now in stand out as potentially the timeframe that “twenty” is pointing to. We are then in potentially important times.
The ‘big picture’ view of The Prophecies is the End Times. The End Times will begin with acts of war (September 11, 2001); and, that beginning will have many battles, skirmishes, wars, and conflicts that will all be interrelated to what is a war between religions, but far from qualifying as ‘holy war.’ We are in the middle of one of these ‘flare ups’ now, which began in the year “twenty” twenty” three. The End Times has an imaginary (proverbial) line that cannot be uncrossed, once crossed, which is the point of no return. We have not reached that point yet; but the path to that point of no return makes it potentially be not far ahead. This makes the decade of the “twenties” a most pivotable time to wake up and be aware what the End Times mean.
For Westerners, it means the End of everything you enjoy as a standard of life. Social media … no more. Communications … no more. Fast food and home delivery … no one able to work those businesses. Health care and medicines … good luck with that. Lights … no more simple flips of a switch. Heating and air conditioning … mother nature only. Travel by vehicles using fuels of any kind … only as long as what is in the tank lasts. Getting across a river, where the bridge that used to be there is no more … have to learn to build a raft. Trusting your neighbor … do you even know your neighbor now?
The point is not even France gets to surrender in this coming War of the End Times. There will be no special treatment for traitors that turn on family and friends, just to get something someone offers. Anyone who will turn on their own cannot be trusted by those who will see traitors as weak and despicable.
Misery is coming to anyone not in a very close relationship with Yahweh and His Son Jesus; and, that means knowing what I mean by that. Without internal Spiritual strength to withstand persecution to death (as bad as Jesus faced, if not worse), there will be an overwhelming fear from terror and pain from suffering. All the stuff relative to what is happening now in Israel-Gaze, which is becoming mimicked on university campuses around the globe, is evil souls playing with fire, hoping to catch the world ablaze with the End Times. Being in a close relationship with Yahweh and Jesus means not adding fuel to that potential fire. Look within, not without.
The world on fire is coming, but it will not be limited to only burning Westerners. Just like Yahweh allowed the infidels of Assyria to destroy the false nation of Israel, scattering them to the corners of the earth, where is the Assyrian Empire now?
Dead and gone.
Just like Yahweh allowed the infidels of Babylon to destroy the false nation of Judah, taking those leaving behind a trail of tears, where is the Babylonian Empire now?
Dead and gone.
This Unholy War will be Yahweh allowing the likes of Arabs and Persians, Muslims and Communists to destroy the false nations of Europe and their Western reaches, persecuting them to the point of death that will make all past exercises in genocide be little more than a tune up to the Great Purge the End Times will bring. However, in fifty years, where will those ‘victors’ be?
Dead and gone.
“For forty years the Rainbow not will be seen.” There will be no more Covenant by Yahweh with those who murdered His own. The Rainbow signaled no more mass destruction of evil creatures inhabiting earth by flood.
There will be a comet sent by the finger of Yahweh, to burn the holes underground, where you souls of the serpent crawl.
Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 broke into multiple pieces, each of which struck the planet Jupiter in July 1994.
If “forty” has the same purpose of “twenty,” then maybe there will only be no “rainbow seen” for ten years … the decade of the “forties.” Still, 20″40″ would be after a decade of warfare and persecution killing or making abnormal most living things on earth (plant and animal, including man). Keep your cell phones charged, because I’m sure you’ll want to capture that future in pictures and share them on social media. Don’t forget to say, “Hey everyone! That Nostradamus guy was right!”
As it is written, “Do unto others as you would have it done unto you,” you wanted to shoot, gas, poison, nuke, starve, beat, crucify, and cut off heads … for your personal enjoyment … well the saying goes: “Pay back is hell.”
All will sacrifice their souls for a plot of land in Satan’s world. Your plot of land will be your grave. When your corpses rot and deteriorate, with no one left alive to bury them, your souls will be sent back to join with those bones. Dante’s vision of this hell on earth will be too easy. Visions of zombies still able to walk around … the living dead … will not happen. In the words of Rene Descartes, “I think therefore I am” … think of being alone with your thoughts, in complete darkness, for an eternity. The promise of seventy-two virgins … or a great reward … for murder … will be an untouchable lie. Imagine Allah laughing at your soul, truly being the serpent whose crafty ways tricked Eve, just like it tricked you. Imagine that evil laugh for Endless Times.
A soul lasts for eternity. An eternity alone with the bones you sold your soul to keep, will be like the soul of the rich man who treated Lazarus like shit, only to cry out for a drop of water to quench the infernal heat that was his just punishment. The same heavenly response will come to all Satan’s conquests: “You made your grave your all; now lie in it forevermore.”
