Earth to quake in April


I originally posted this on April 4, 2024. Worth a review now …

—–

In recent weeks there have been several earthquakes of significance around the world.  While this is a standard occurrence, as months rarely go by without some level of seismic activity felt somewhere in the world, it is important to keep a finger on the pulse of the Earth, so to say.  This is because Nostradamus wrote of significant earthquakes occurring, which will bring about much of what he prophesied.

While the lines listed below come from seven quatrains, where the details of each quatrain places focus in various places, they are all linked together by the references to earthquakes (or some form of the verb “trembler”).  Four of the seven quatrains introduce the earthquake subject in the main theme line, which is line one.  This means the element of an earthquake is of primary importance.

In two quatrains the timing of May is stated (one translation possibility for “May”), with another stating the month of April.  Another quatrain hints at the sign of Taurus, which begins when the Sun enters that sign on April 20 and ends when the Sun leaves that sign on May 20.  When one reads the words “Sol twenty Taurus” as an indication of the Sun reaching the 20-degree mark of the sign Taurus, then that event will take place on May 11, 2014.

This is important to realize because of the recent earthquake activity around the world.  On March 10, 2014, an earthquake measuring 6.9 was recorded off the coast of California, near the town Eureka. (article)  An earthquake measuring 5.1 hit Los Angeles, California on March 28, 2014, followed by a 4.1 on March 29, 2014.  Aftershocks greater than 3.0 [three, as of April 4, 2014] have followed there, into the month of April. (list)  A 4.8 magnitude earthquake was registered near the caldera in Yellowstone Park, Wyoming on March 30, 2014, with a series of smaller tremors associated with it leading up to and after that quake.  There is a report that animals are fleeing the park, possibly because they sense something greater is about to occur. 

UPDATES: A magnitude-6.6 earthquake shook Nicaragua on Friday afternoon, April 11, 2014, less than 24 hours after a 6.1 quake in the same country.  Also, a major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 was recorded off Papua New Guinea’s remote Bougainville Island, April 11, 2014.  A tsunami warning is in effect for the Solomon Islands and the surrounding area after a 7.6-magnitude earthquake (originally measured at 8.3) hit the region on April 12, 2014. Then, another powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 struck off the Solomon Islands on Sunday night, hours after a 7.6 tremor, on April 13, 2014.  On Sunday night, April 13, 2014, Nicaragua was hit by magnitude-4.6 and magnitude-5.6 quakes, follow-up shocks from the 6.6 earthquake on Friday.  On Thursday, April 17, 2014, an earthquake measuring 6.2 hit in the region near the Balleny Islands, an non-populated arpeggio near Antarctica.  A Wikipedia article on the Balleny Islands says, “Strong earthquakes very close to the islands are rare, but tremors of moderate strength do occur” there.  The USGS calls this a “strong quake.”  On Friday, April 18, 2014, near Tecpan,Guerrero Region, Mexico (SW of Mexico City, NW of Acapulco), a major 7.3 (some say 7.5) magnitude earthquake was measured. On Saturday, April 19, 2014, a 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit in the Bougainville, Papua New Guinea region, in the Solomon Sea.  This activity has continues in that region, with a 5.2 aftershock coming 6+ minutes before a 7.5 major quake again on Saturday, April 19, 2014.  Several  5.0+ magnitude aftershocks were registered in the same region before and after, on the same date and the next.  That makes three 7+ magnitude quakes in the Solomon Sea, since April 11, 2014.  Another major earthquake hit in the Solomon Islands on Sunday, April 20, 2014, registering 6.1.  On April 23, 2014, Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada was stuck by a series of quakes, with the strongest registering 6.5 magnitude (a 5.0 and  4.2 shortly followed). On April 26, 2014, an earthquake registering 6.2 hit in the area of the Tonga Islands, in the Polynesian South Pacific.  In all, there were 13 earthquakes in April 2014, over a 6.0, considered “strong.”  For January through March 2014, only eight such earthquakes occurred, with four of those in February.  This makes April an oddity, but this total does not seem to fit this quatrain precisely.

Internationally, on March 21, 2014 there was a 6.7 earthquake off the Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean.  Then, on April 2, 2014, there was an 8.2 earthquake off the coast of Chile, with aftershocks registering 7.6 and 6.4 occurring on April 3, 2014.  While there was no impact of the Indian Ocean earthquake, the Chile earthquakes cause a tsunami, severe damage, and some deaths.

All of this earthquake activity is to be seen as normal (this site lists all measured tremors), but they can take on greater significance when one reads the main theme (line one) of quatrain II-52 as, “Inwardly many nights there earth will quake.”  This can indicate an important (use of capitalization) “Inward” build-up, which is a shifting of the Earth’s “Inside.”  The result would then be “several” tremors and quakes being registered around the globe.  Rather than a statement of “nighttime,” the use of the word “nuits” can mean just how in the “dark” we are, as far as our dependence on science to forecast and predict earthquakes.  All of this activity (“twenty”) would not be the earthquakes of most importance, but a harbinger of what “will come,” through the future tense of “to tremble.”  That future is then beyond the activity of the “twenty,” leading to other quatrains that state, “so strong,” “quick tempo,” and “badly.”

I will state that the main theme of quatrain X-67, when read with the supporting theme and details of the other lines in that poem, is a perfect fit for the earthquake that hit Chile in May 1960.  That was the greatest earthquake ever measured, registering a 9.5 on the Richter scale.  The quatrain becomes a statement of elements that show the Bay of Pigs fiasco, which immediately faced the Kennedy administration.  However, as good as that fit is, the one thing about prophecy is this: If it happened once, it can happen again.

For quatrain X-67 to be a new earthquake event, one that will also occur in May, it will have to meet or surpass the 1960 event.  The recent earthquake in Chile may be a sign that the repeating of such a large quake is coming; but then next greatest quake of all-time will be someplace else.  The identifiers in these seven quatrains make Turkey and Greece the most prevalent places, with that not shocking news.

There will probably be two closely timed earthquake events, both within the same region.  Easter is identified in yet another quatrain that seems to indicate earthquake damage.  Still, it could be in Italy, as others indicate the discovery of long hidden tombs being raised for the first time in many centuries.  This will be a delight to archeologists; but the result will be close to the result in the movie The Mummy, when a curse was released upon the world.

Another significant effect of “several earthquakes” could very be the collapse of the Suez Canal.  This would have strategic implications, as it would greatly restrict traffic into and out of the Mediterranean Sea.  While all eyes will be on recent discoveries from the earthquake, while rescue and aid to the earthquake victims will be ongoing, there will be some major shifts in people from the Middle East to North Africa.  This will be seen as threatening to Italy, France, and Spain, but with all the world’s turmoil from natural disaster on-going, little will be done to protect Europe from a pending invasion.

That will commence the real purpose of The Prophecies, but it all is timed as beginning once major earthquakes will reshape the world’s surface.  Hopefully, none of this will occur at this time.  However, it will happen at some time, if nothing is done to change the direction the world is headed, which is and has been projected in the daily news for 100 years – as that will mark the 100th anniversary of World War I, which began on July 28, 1914.

Quatrain II-52, line one: Dans plusieurs nuits la terre tremblera,

Quatrain IX-83, line one: Sol vingt taurus si fort terre trembler,

Quatrain V-27, line three: Trembler Phatos Methelin, Sol allegro,

Quatrain VI-66, line four: Terre trembler en Avril, mal enfouetz.

Quatrain X-67, line one: Le tremblement si fort au mois de May,

Quatrain X-31, line one: Le tremblement de terre à Mortara,

Quatrain VI-88, line four: Lors que dans May seront terres trembles.

Simple translations of the above:

Inwardly a considerable number nights there earth will quake,

Ground twenty bull so strong earth to quake,

To quake Oracle [as Fatos] Methelin [possibly Mytelene], Ground fast tempo,

Earth to quake into April, badly ones buried in lava.

It quaking so strong in the month of May,

It quaking to earth at Mortara [Italy],

Then that inwardly May will be lands quaked ones.

Afterword: Reading the quatrains as I have done above only leads to secondary intent and purpose for that written, if al all. Because each word must be read individually and understood, before going to the next word and then the next (etcetera), the same words can offer multiple meanings. Still, it is fun knowing earthquakes are so common and Nostradamus wrote multiple quatrains that make the reader expect an earthquake.

Consider the religious group known as Quakers. President ‘Tricky Dick’ (Richard Nixon) was a Quaker. According to the early explanation for that name for a religious group: “The name “Quaker” originated in the 17th century when the Religious Society of Friends, founded by George Fox, was being persecuted. Early Quakers were known for their intense religious experiences, including shaking or trembling during worship, which some saw as a sign of being moved by the Spirit.” As Jerry Lee Lewis (old rockabilly personality) would say, there was “A whole lotta shakin goin on.” Certainly, Nostradamus was not referring to that religious group, but the point to be made is people (made of matter, thus “earth”) will “tremble” and “shake” when filled with fear.

Still, when megabombs are going off nearby, the “ground” (terre) will “shake” and “quake.” So, there are other ways to read these; but one quatrain read as an island loses context. The quatrains must be placed in a proper order, following the rules laid out in the letters, so the “trembling” and “quaking” makes perfect sense.

Quatrain II-26


Reflections from news of a beheaded journalist, originally posted in August 2014. He was kidnapped in Syria in 2012, then beheaded in August 2014, prompting me to compose this article.

—–

The news of August 19, 2014 was of American journalist James Foley, captured by Islamic militants for ISIL (ISIS), having been executed by his captors.  A video tape was released which showed him being beheaded, with one masked terrorist speaking English, giving reason to believe he was from London.  This was said to be an indication of increased recruitment of terrorist in the West.

In the video, the masked man speaking English said, “You will drown from the flow of your own blood.”  In a previous publicized threat by ISIS, a terrorist proclaimed the flag of Islam would fly over Washington D.C.   When these two threats are seen as more than excited rhetoric, as more than meaningless “knee-jerk” spews of feeling, rather than insights into an intellectual plan – a strategy – a pointed objective with possibility of becoming reality – then the statement about blood flowing and drowning becomes important.  It is important because Nostradamus prophesied this coming. Prophecy means a future that will come true, unless a holy warning is heeded.

Nostradamus published the following quatrain in 1555.  It is found in his second “chapter,” as the 26th verse of 100.  It states:

Quatrain II-26

Pour la faveur que la cité fera,

Au grand qui tost perdra camp de bataille.

Fuis le rang Pau Thesin* versera.

De sang, feux, mors noiés de coup de taille.

Line four can be translated to state, “From blood, fires, deaths drowning from stroke of cut.”  When the standards of syntax are applied, along with more common word translations, line four gives the feel of throats being slit, causing victims to drown in their own blood.  Erika Cheetham (blending line four into the text of line three) wrote that line four meant, “blood, firing, dead men drowned and slashed.”  John Hogue wrote of line four, “The blood, fires, deaths, drowned by the blow of the blade’s thrusting edge.”  So, you can see why this quatrain comes to mind when there is news of any beheadings by terrorists.

In all, quatrain II-26 can say:

For there support that here warned to appear will effect,

At the great who suddenly will lose field of battle.

Escapees it order Stake one Lost deposit* will pour out.

From blood, fires, deaths drowning from stroke of cut.

*Thesi (Latin, Dative case of thesis): (Religion usage) Deposit of money is lost, if the wish that one form is granted.

Now, when I say line four can be translated to state the above, I means there are many ways to see the words of this quatrain be translated differently.  Cheetham and Hogue prove that.  Each variation does nothing to diminish one translation from the others, as all translations are capable, if not fully intended.  One translation can add detail to what another translation presents in a broader sense.  All subsequent translations add more depth and detail to that basic or standard translation – the width and length dimensions –  yielding a three-dimensional view of a poetic verse that prophesies our future, from many years in the past.  There is absolutely no generalization found in any of Nostradamus’ quatrains, due to this being the consistent method that must be applied, for reading any prophecy to result in an understanding worthy of faith and belief.

An example of how each word must be seen as multi-dimensional, rather than fixed or linear, since its source if God and He cannot be limited by a human brain, one finds in line one of quatrain II-26 the word “cité.”   Those fluent in French would read that word and declare, “That means “city,” rather than “warned to appear,” as my translation shows above.  This is true to a degree, as the noun use of the word “cité” most commonly is used in that sense.  However, the scope of meaning includes, “cited to appear [in court], summoned to appear [in court], warned to appear [in court], and alleged,” when “cité” is read as the past participle form of the verb “citer.”

From the verb’s meaning, “to cite,” one can imagine the origin of citations means an order from the king to some citizen to appear in a court to answer some question, charge, or request, relative to the royal house.  Probably this primarily included reported acts of crime against the king, where grievances would be made in a proper court for judgment.  Those courts would be in limited population centers, such that a burg, village or town might be too small to have such a seat of justice.  The places one would then be “summoned to appear” in would be the places where courts existed – “cities.”  Thus, any use of “city” by Nostradamus would imply a major population center, or a place where the royal court maintained their courts of justice.  That would cover cities like London, Rome, and Washington D. C. (although Nostradamus knew nothing of this last “city,” in 1555).

With all that in mind, one must understand that IF the line that says, “From blood, fires, deaths drowning from stroke of cut,” is to be linked to the news of a threat made by a terrorist, then that line (which is line 4, the last line in quatrain II-26) has to clarify how line one (the main theme statement of quatrain II-26) is also relative to that terrorist’s statement.  As such, one is not allowed to cherry pick clauses and phrases from Nostradamus’ writings, out of context, and apply those words to world events, when the root meaning is overlooked.  Since everything written in an individual quatrain is interlinked, to pick a part from line 4 means one must understand all that leads to line 4.

When one looks at line one, relative to the quote from the terrorist who beheaded a journalist, one can then see how his words match a theme of “warning” of justice that is to come.  As a terrorist believed to have been recruited from London, one can see how that terrorist was “For” a cause away from his home.  He went “there” in “support” of that cause.  His personal benefit would be for “favor” received by Allah, as his actions would be perceived as serving the royal house of Islam.

In line one there appears to be two simple articles, of the feminine gender, “la.”  When reading Nostradamus, one must realize the words come from God, and nothing is “simple.”  Everything has meaning, such that simple articles are not the primary translations of intent.  By writing a noun word, it is implying that noun to be “a, an, or the” noun written.  Only when an article is abbreviated into a noun (such as “l’nom”) can “the” be part of the translation.  This understanding means that EVERY appearance of “le” and “la” is meant to be purposefully read as something other than an article.

In the case of “le,” is bears pronoun translation capabilities, as “he, it, and him,” which is helpful in identifying some important individual character in play within the story of that quatrain.  In the case of “la,” it must morph into its accented adverb form, as “.”  This becomes a statement of “there, here, or then,” which plays the important role of showing placement and timing, which is of greater value than a simple statement of “the.”

Because line one has two uses of “,” one must realize there is a sense of movement conveyed, as a change of placement from “there” to “here,” or vice versa.  Thus, a terrorist in Iraq or Syria, with a London English accent, implies the terrorist went “there” (the Middle East) from “here” (the West).  This fits a recruitment theme, where this volunteer from the “city” of London in some way felt “cited to appear there,” in Iraq or Syria, for the purpose of responding to a call for judgment.

Once there, extremist Islamic justice was executed, based on “alleged” (translation capability for “cité“) charges, thereby justifying the murder of an American journalist (as well as the capture of another Western journalist presented in the video), with that second prisoner “warned to appear” before the same blade of judgment, if America’s bombing of ISIS installations did not cease.  This citation and this response to that call is then said to have an “effect,” meaning it “will become acts” committed in the name of justice, and it “will make” others take notice of a warning that more is to come, to this “effect” of justice.

Now, line four is linked to the main theme statement (line one) and all the other lines, in many ways, but line four is most directly stating supporting details for the secondary theme statement (line two).  The secondary theme is then also related to the main theme of two places of warning, but has merits that allow it to represent a self-sufficient theme that is subsequent to a call to act upon justice.  The secondary theme can then be seen as saying, “At the great who suddenly will lose field of battle.”  The places “here” and “there” are now contained, limited to a focus on the “great,” where this word is at all times in Nostradamus’ writings to be read as a noun (more than as an adjective or adverb), representative of those who routinely administer judgment and justice, because they rule over “great” kingdoms (as royalty).

This means the secondary theme is focused on the “effect” on the “great,” as a reaction to the theme of terrorist recruitment from the lands of the “great.”  In a way, it reflects the result of the withdrawal of allied troops from Iraq and, as well as the absence of a “great” power in the warfare in Syria, where the one nation being more “great” that the others is the United States of America.  The second most “great” nation whose presence has been removed is “Great” Britain, and the forces of its children: Australia and Canada.  In short, the “sudden” disappearance of “support” for a pro-Western style of government (thus justice system) is English-speaking.  This means the terrorist beheading an American journalist, who speaks English with a London accent, is symbolic of those “great” allies who “swiftly lost the field of battle” where ISIS sprang into being.

Much has been made of the armament of the ISIS military, because it is largely the equipment with what was “cast away” by the “great” American military, leaving it behind for the Iraqi military to use in defense of themselves and their people.  Instead, the weaponry was dropped by Iraqi soldiers, who then disbanded and ran away, meaning America “spent idly” in its arming of Iraq.  This failure (“loss”) had the “effect” of later forcing America to use war planes to attack the instruments of warfare its own military left behind in haste.  Because the “great” allies gave up the “field of battle,” their lack of foot soldiers on the “field,” in “camps,” means they can only excel in the air of “battle,” for as long as there is a “field” to return the planes safely.  If they “suddenly lose that field of battle,” the “great” will have no recourse to “swiftly” wage “battle.”

As a secondary theme of a weakness in the abilities of the “great” to do “battle” and “effect” its measure of justice, line four is then adding the depth of meaning that says what losses will become, in a war between “here” and “there,” between the “great” and the supposedly inferior forces of ISIS and the likes of al-Qaeda, Hamas, the Islamic Brotherhood, and all other “rag-tag” groups that “support” terrorism.  The beheading of a foreign journalist represents the spillage of “blood,” a “death” from the “slit” of a “cut.”

Still, for one to make a statement that more than one person would face this end, in such a flow of blood that “great” nations of people will “drown” from figurative “strikes” and “blows” that “cut, dash, and shred,” one beheading (or a handful shown in video tapes), the incident of one beheading becomes symbolic of the “warning” that this “will appear” in the “cities” of the “great.”  A statement that says the flag of Islam will fly over the government buildings of Washington D. C. is not meant to be so much literal, as much as it is to be meant as metaphor.  As metaphor, the presence of Barack Obama, a student of Islam while a child in Jakarta, Indonesia, is flying over Washington D. C. today, as the president, the one who ordered the withdrawal of “great” troops from the “field of battle.”

In that sense, the warriors of ISIS have not only gone from “here” to “there,” but they have come from “there” to “here,” and we are seeing the “effect” that will “suddenly” cause the “great” to “lose” or “spend idly” its greatness, when the “field of battle” is “here,” and not “there.”  The recruitment of terrorists in and from the West, to fight as masked soldiers in the “camps” of Iraq and Syria may be the distraction that keeps Westerners from seeing the danger is no longer over “there,” but “here.”  Westerners have adopted ideologies that elect leaders who seem to be fighting for the rights of the poor and defenseless, when the result of their actions (planned or unplanned) may have the “effect” of bleeding Western economies to “death,” having the “effect” of causing the “great” to no longer be able to fight and win on any “field of battle,” including its own.

That is the story told by Nostradamus in many quatrains, where each quatrain links to others and all are inter-related.  Quatrain II-26 is reflecting a symptom of a future still to come, although it is already happening around us.  We see it in the news every day, so much that news of an American journalist being murdered by jihadists has a “ho-hum” effect.  We have become desensitized to an emotional plea, unable to let our religion come “pouring out,” seeing prophecy tell of our demise, if we do not get up and do something inspired by God.  Without such a reaction, we “suddenly” wake up and find ourselves “drowning” in our own “blood.”  They know it is headed to that reality, while we think it could never happen “here.”  Not to us.  We are the “great.”

It is important to also realize that the French word “sang,” and the English translation “blood,” is more than that red stuff that pumps through our arteries and veins.  “Blood” is also a “lineage,” a certain “stock” of people, a special “race” of the world, those who share common “parentage,” and those who share a “kindred” relationship with one another.  Thus, a “pouring out of blood” is not limited to the spillage from one beheading.  It represents those who share a commonality to the people routinely killed in Gaza, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, as Muslims all around the world, particularly those in the Western societies.  Remember it is the “blood” of Christ that Christians must share, which equates to the Holy Spirit controlling our minds, causing out actions to be acts of God, as Jesus acted. An “outpouring” of religious fervor likewise excites the “blood” of any devout faithful; but the problem then comes from the source of that excitement – is it truly holy, or is it truly evil?

When line three comes under inspection, the words “Pau” and “Thesin” can be seen as “cities,” although they are more properly rivers.   This can be because of the word “cité” has been translated as “city” in line one, and both words of line three are capitalized, giving the impression of proper names, like “cities.”  There is a place named Pau in southwestern France (a population of around 85,000), but there is also mention of a Biblical Pau, which was in the land of Edom.  The spelling of “Thesin” becomes problematic, as one has to do some stretching to turn this into the Swiss canton named Tesin, which is a variation of Tisin or Tessen (Lombard and German spellings), which the rest of the world calls Ticino (a population of around 315,000).   The river “Tessin,” (Ticino) flows through northern Italy (Lombardy region), feeding the Po River.  Erika Cheetham reads “Pau” as “Po.”  Still, all of that requires throwing away that awkward “h” that messes everything up.

When one understands that “cité” can be a verb, then one is no longer limited to making “Pau” and “Thesin” be foreign towns.  After all, places are named after things (nouns) and events (verbs), and the French word “pau” was used in Old French to denote a “stake” or “pale,” rooted in the Latin word “palus.”  In Portuguese, the word “pau” means, “stick,” which is then a slang term that refers to a man’s penis; so this may be why Pau was named after a pole, stick, or other long piece of wood.  Pau is located along a flow of water (the Gave de Pau), which is fed from the Pyrenees Mountains.  There is a bridge in Pau that fords the river where it reaches a point of width and smooth flow, while being rocky rapids along the path it flows downhill towards that point.  A “Stake” might have been required to ford the river, thus the etymology?

As for the word “Thesin,” a standard suffix in French is “-in.”  It is added to a word to indicate “one” who is associated to the root word.  In this case, if “-in” is removed, the root becomes “Thes.”  In French, the word “thèse” means, “thesis.”  In Latin, the word “thesis” is spelled “thesī” in the Dative Case, meaning a “thesis.”  The Dative Case refers to a noun used (mostly) as the indirect object of a verb.  In both scenarios (“Thès-in” or “Thesī –n”), the indication is to one who prepared a thesis.  By the definition of “thesis,” synonymous words can be used, such as, “arguer” or “hypothecator,” with the common result of a successful “thesis” understood as being “doctor” or one with a Phd (doctor of Philosophy).

Simply by seeing this possibility in “Pau” and “Thesin” means the focus of line three is no longer spread out, from “here” to “there,” southwest France to southeast Switzerland or northern Italy.  While that scope of place can be read into the details of the whole meaning in quatrain II-26, that is not the primary intent.  The removal of those places ceases misunderstanding of the main theme, as well as the rest of quatrain II-26.  The use of capitalization allows us to see a level of importance placed upon a “Stake” and one’s “Philosophy,” rather than a need to try and pin words to titles  That level of importance would be one that is generally recognizable to most people of education (people who actually keep up with the news and history that surrounds their own lives), rather than expect people to instantly know where Pau, France or Ticino, Switzerland are located.

When line three is read as, “Escapees it order Stake Theorizer will pour out,” and can see there is the importance of “Escapees,” a “Stake” being set, and someone of importance whose “Theory” or “Argument” of logic has allowed prisoners to “flow out.”  Important “Fleers” can be seen as the recent five detainees at Guantanamo, Cuba being “exchanged” for the captive American soldier Berghdal, as arranged and defended by President Barack Obama (amid protests that he did so illegally).  Should those prisoners “escape” from their home confinement in Qatar (1 year they must stay there?), then more people capable of beheading journalists have “flown out” to the “fields of battle.”

The important “Stake,” when read as a verb, and a common term used in gambling, then becomes a major gamble taking place, based on people “Escaping.”  This can also relate to the Christians of Iraq who have “Fled” their homes, which became the act that spurred aerial strikes against ISIS, and in turn led to the beheading.  A “Stake” is then an important claim on that land, which Iraq and Syria own the deeds to, and which the allied forces of the “great” withdrew from, allowing ISIS to grow.  When “Stake” is seen as an investment or share of something, then one needs to be aware of the possibility that a “Stake” of Islamic militancy is placed within the grounds of the “great,” just as our “Stake” has long been in the Middle East.

Much of Western involvement in that region of the world, historically, has been religiously motivated.  Because of that, the Latin word “Thesis” has a specific meaning, relative to the deposit of money for a wish (prayer), which is lost is one form of the wish is fulfilled.”  Since The Prophecies of Nostradamus are religious in nature and topic, one could see how a “Bet” or “Stake” on one’s reputation is then based on a “Thesis,” or a “Prayer” that the “Wish” of a wonderful world will come true, if “Escapees” are allowed to “pour out” of their place of imprisonment and return to the battlefields from which they came.  A “Deposit will be lost,” just as the “field of battle” was lost.

A Latin introduction to the Letter to Henry II


In June, 1558 (on the 27th), Nostradamus finished writing a letter that would be sent to his king, Henry II of France.  The letter was written in response to a demand that Nostradamus explain his work The Prophecies, which could not be understood by those in power.

This book was printed during a period of great popularity for Nostradamus, due to his use of poetry to predict each coming year’s expectations, in publications called Almanachs. Those poems were astrologically based, and constructed of either four or six lines, with each yearly publication typically totaling twelve to fourteen verses, roughly corresponding to each month of the coming year.  The poems were akin to brain teasers, riddles or puzzles, with much play on words and metaphor, forcing the reader to figure out the “hidden” meaning.  Because most people readily understood the intent, with a sense of witty sarcasm embraced, the Almanacs were enjoyed by all.

That popularity created a demand for such entertainment.  Seemingly in response, Nostradamus had initially published The Prophecies with a total of 353 verses, all 4-lined poems (quatrains) with an ABAB rhyme scheme.  He did that in May 1555, dividing that number of predictions into four “chapters,” as divisions of 100 prophecies headed as “Centuries.”

Prior to the 1557 “second edition,” King Henry II had approved an additional 291 quatrains be added to the book, bringing the total to 642, presented in seven Centuries.  Centurie Fourth, originally containing only 53 quatrains, had filled out to a hundred; but the new Centurie Seventh ended with only 42 verses. Still, heads were scratching over the first edition’s riddles.

The problem was that no one could solve any of these riddles.  While delight in the almanacs was still high, people were reading this new book and thinking Nostradamus was losing his grasp on what the people enjoyed.  Some might have thought he had gone mad.  Therefore, his request for the approval of 300 final quatrains, bringing the total Centuries to ten (with Centurie Seventh still only having 42), his request was in effect denied, pending an explanation as to what it all meant.

The king requested Nostradamus appear in Paris, in person, to directly answer questions pertaining to what had already been published.  When we read the nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty, where it says, “All the kings men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again,” this can be seen as how The Prophecies was an anthropomorphic egg, and that all the wise men of France’s throne could not figure out the meaning Nostradamus had hidden within his book.

Had Nostradamus made a trip into the king’s center of power, he would not have left without exposing everything about The Prophecies.  The king would die in a jousting accident in 1559, probably with Nostradamus in some dank prison cell, with the king’s death somehow becoming the responsibility of Nostradamus to have prevented.  Such a turn of historic events would have probably led to Nostradamus being executed, with his final edition (in 1566 & 1568) never happening.  Had that happened, no one would know the name Nostradamus today.  However, because that did not happen, one should see the letter written was divinely inspired, with a long-range plan intended.

Nostradamus had been instructed to write his verses by the Holy Spirit, which he repeatedly stated in his letter to the king. The letter was cleverly presented in a way that no one could solve it either, with it making less sense that any one puzzling quatrain.  Because of his having divine assistance, with everything coming from the same divine source, Nostradamus knew he could not appear before the king in person.  Instead, he was moved to write the letter so that would become the “preface” to the additional (final) three chapters (Centuries), when they went to the press.  The letter was also the work of the Holy Spirit, with Nostradamus holding the quill pen as it moved onto paper; but he fully understood everything he wrote, while filled with the mind of Christ.

In the letter written to fully explain the meaning of The Prophecies, Nostradamus (as the embodiment of Jesus Christ) wrote in Old French mostly, but there is a significant portion in the language of Latin.  While Latin appears at various places throughout the letter, interconnecting to the Old French text, a significant portion comes in one continuous block, near the end of the letter.  After Nostradamus completed “signing and dating” his salutation (in Old French), the letter ends with the following, which is Latin, presented in a significantly larger font, and as centered text in triangular shape:

Facibat Michaël Nostra-

damus Solonæ Petræ

Provinciæ.

This can be read simply as a statement of who published the letter, as translated to state: Written by Michel Nostradamus in Salon Rock Provence.  However, nothing written by Nostradamus, related to his work The Prophecies, should ever be taken simply or as if there was no meaning or significance intended.  This is no exception.

First of all, the size of the font is screaming for attention.  The size of the lettering is as large as the first line of the introductory section of the letter, which is also presented in centered text, producing a triangular shape.  Only the first line of the Old French introduction has letters the size of these in the conclusion, while all of these in Latin are the same larger size.

Secondly, the use of Latin, as a mirror image of the Old French introduction, implies this is actually not a conclusion, but an introduction for the Latin text of the letter (after all the Latin is removed as its own statement of explanation).  This corresponds to the significance of only one quatrain being totally written in Latin, numbered as 100 in Centurie Sixth, which has five lines of text (thus not a true quatrain), with the first line of VI-100 presented in a larger font than that the four following lines.  That one quatrain then acts as the “Foreword” to the remainder of the quatrains, such that this salutation acts as the introduction to the Latin of this letter, as a stand-alone explanation within an explanatory letter.

Third, while the triangular effect can be seen as justification for the name “Nostradamus” being hyphenated and divided onto two lines, the true intent is to draw attention to the name being two words joined together, where the Latinized Old French says “Nostre-dame,” meaning “Our-lady,” and alluding to the Virgin Mary, the patron saint of the Roman Catholic Church.  The Latin, in effect says the same, with “damus” derived from “dominus,” as a Latin reference to a “woman of the house.”  The Virgin Mary is the lady of the house of Jesus Christ.

Fourth, whenever Nostradamus used Latin, it was with the intention that it be read on a higher level, such that Latin is the official language of the Vatican and all Holy Bibles of that time were printed in Latin text (except the earliest Lutheran translations).  Thus, Latin acts more as an aside directly from Christ, such that quotes from the Holy Bible are found in both of Nostradamus’ letters associated with The Prophecies.  Thus, all Latin needs to be seen in a spiritual light.

Finally, when one realizes the importance of reading each word of Nostradamus as singularly important, before it depends on the connection to other words, this “simple” concluding statement can be found explaining:

He made

“Who is like God”

Ours –

the lady of the house

Reception room

Stones

Command

This meaning comes from accepted translations (of a literal nature, not syntactical) of each word written.  Without detailing all translation possibilities (a wonderful exercise for honor students of Nostradamus), these are my selections as the one meaning for each “word,” which then best exposes the truth behind the words.  This introduction says that the letter (and The Prophecies) was produced by the hand of God, through the human being named Michel, who acted as the angel Michael, fulfilling the truth behind the meaning of the name, as one “Who is like God.”  This God is ours as Christians, as the God of Nostradamus, the God of Henry II, and the God of France.  This God was justification why Henry ruled, but it recognized how his power was upheld through the support of the Church of Rome, who reveres Our Lady, as the woman of that house of God and the Henry’s House of Valois.

The salon, or reception room of that house of God, should then be read as more than a room in a brick and mortar building.  Instead, the reception room or large hall represents the heart within each Christian, where true Apostles of Christ receive the Holy Spirit within.  The plural number of “stones” or “rocks”  then reflects the stone Tablets of Moses, upon which God wrote the Ten Commandments.  Those were two in numbers, identifying with the rocks of King and Church, as well as the anchors reflecting the Blood and Body of Christ.  Thus, each Christian has a duty and a command, as a defender of Christianity and as a spreader of the Gospels, ensuring that all Christians connect with God, through Christ, receiving the Holy Spirit.  The ultimate purpose of The Prophecies (as stated by the spiritually uplifted Latin) is then to save humanity from understanding where it has gone wrong, rather than simply project its self-inflicted demise without anyone knowing why.

Thus, as a heading for a letter explaining The Prophecies, the Latin is introducing it as being from God, with Nostradamus having the assistance of the Holy Spirit.  Because it was written under this influence, it likewise requires the same assistance from those rocks of God to understand.  One does not accurately understand the whole of The Prophecies, explaining it all so it means what one wants, without making oneself out to be a fool.  One can only realize the beauty of the complexity comes amazingly clear when one follows a higher command towards understanding, through faith in the source being God.  To see Nostradamus as one man who produced this work alone is to miss the point, at a time when it has come to open one’s eyes and see the truth.

If you think you are Charlie, you might want to think again


Back in January 2015 there was a terrorist shooting that was an attack on the Paris office of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, due to them publishing cartoons of Muhmmad (a no no). Twelve staff and police were killed, with two brothers killed in a shootout with police a couple of days later.

To show support for the magazine and solidarity against terrorism, there was an “I am Charlie” (Je suis Charlie) posters made up and passed around. That scared the Muslim so badly, several other terrorist attacks took place in France (one significantly in Marseille, which is full of illegal immigrants). Then, there was the truck killing many French people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice. So much for using a poster as a defensive shield.

We are Charlie

From what I read now, the “I am Charlie” translates like “I am Wally,” which is the French version of “Where’s Waldo?” There he is! He’s seeking safety in numbers, but he is unarmed and easy prey.”

The French do not have a history as people that scare others. They were afraid of Napoleon. They surrender quickly; so it is not a good idea to support cartoonists that draw satirical pictures of religious enemies that have proved they will kill people like that. Stop carrying paper signs and strap French revolvers and holsters around your waists. According to The Prophecies of Nostradaus, that will be better than acting like French snobs in the face of real danger.

With this reminder, this is what I posted when I saw how ridiculous the “I am Charlie” movement was a decade ago …

—–

The recent news of al-Qaeda terrorists killing and being killed in Paris is yet another sign of prophecy.  This is not the beginning, but it maintains a flow towards an end, announcing that the worst is still to come.  The world has been shown pictures of thousands of people filling a public square, candles lit and holding signs, while politicians stand by, arm in arm, boasting of standing strong against terrorism.  France’s prime minister pronounced, “We declare war on Islamic terrorism!”  Hip, hip, hooray!

The news also said how France was mobilizing extra security forces, just so the crowd of people could gather.  Without that security, the people would be giving the Islamic terrorists a free shot at a ready-made hostage scenario – all those innocent lambs in one area, standing so close together.  Baa.  If anyone fired a shot while that mass meeting was going on, thousands would die in a stampede, I imagine.  Add in the possibility of French troops, in riot gear, shooting wildly into a crowd and the potential dead would make for a far greater tragedy than what caused the gathering.

Does anyone see the absurdity of having to provide security for peaceful demonstrations of solidarity?

In a “democracy,” where everyone is said to be free to do anything, the same freedom applies to terrorists.  The Islamic terrorists (or any “terrorist” causing panic through criminal acts) have the “right” to break every law in the book, including kidnapping, murder, extortion and even public insults, which (in America) could be deemed “hate crimes” if certain minorities were the targets.  The point is you cannot stop a crime before it becomes a criminal act.  We all have the “freedom” to plot and plan evil acts, then act based on those plans, as long as we don’t let anyone know what our thoughts are before we actually break a law.

I am reminded of the scene from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where Arthur and his knights have arrived at a French castle.  The animosity between the French and English was made laughable, by portraying the French as having an attitude of superiority.  One French soldier, high along the castle wall, yelled down at King Arthur, “I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”  Of course, by saying, “I fart in your general direction,” it is a play on the gesture of spitting.  To spit in front of someone (in his or her general proximity) is a form of body language, becoming an unspoken insult.  When words are lacking … spit in someone’s general direction.  This is more easily accomplished than farting at will.

That was the attitude of Charlie Hebdo and the cartoonist who thought nothing of Allah, nor those who pray to Allah.  The world fondly calls that “satirical comedy.”  Rather than understand how this works, as long as you are behind walls of defense and stronger than those you ridicule, you have the “right” and “freedom” to lampoon whomever you please.

This sense of superiority and devil-may-care attitude certainly applies to the French now, as this past week’s activities began with the break-in and murder of 12 people, including a cartoonist for the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo (“Weekly Charlie”).  Threats that had been publicly declared … a boast of revenge (which was their “freedom” of speech) … did not make the news a total surprise.  The shock comes from no longer being strong enough to prevent such acts, because the thick castle walls evaporated.  Charlie Hebdo is the reality of the metaphor of a French soldier standing aloof, behind safe walls, shouting insults to those in inferior positions; but it is not bravery that casts our epithets simply because a sense of “freedom” allows one to do that.  Regardless of rights, it becomes arrogant abuse; and when the walls come tumbling down and the playing field is leveled (a karmic debt due kind of thing), then people tend to let the shoe fit the other foot and cry, “Foul!”

Freedom of expression or hate crime?

Payback is hell.  So they say.

Shortly after the murder of the cartoonist at Charlie Hebdo occurred, I saw a headline that read, “Muslim cleric writes op-ed claiming Islam does not believe in free expression.”  Oh my God!  Why would any publisher lead with that statement?  I imagined how everyone who read that headline must have thought, “The Muslims are not believers in Democracy!”

Of course, it is easy to see how that was the plan after all; but how irresponsible is that?  It can lead some to a though process, fueled by the equivalent of an idiot basement blogger (not a professional journalist), for the promotion of anger.  Such a message is always only one reader’s flawed personality away from igniting another idiot to shout, “Let’s goes kill them all!”

If you think about what the headline said (and I did not read the article), it makes complete sense for an Islamic cleric (or Christian minister or Jewish rabbi) to say, “We understand the world gives everyone the ‘right’ to sin, but the point of our religion is to teach personal restraints against those freedoms, based on moral principles of sacrifice and a belief that a greater power will reward the faithful for not sinning.”  So, Charlie Hebdo lacked such restraints, choosing to print the cartoonists free willed art that would purposefully insult Muslims.  The IS military (ISIS) equally lacked such restraints, choosing to arm the terrorists who freely volunteered to die for revenge.  In a convoluted sense, it has to be understood that people have the “right” to misunderstand what one believes in, and if that misunderstanding leads one to go off on a verbal, visual, or even physical rampage, making fun of that belief, simply because it is not what someone else believes, then be prepared to watch the pendulum swing to and fro.  Only personal restraints can stop that back-and-forth – action, reaction.

“I spit in your general direction!”

Just like the French to shout out insults: Je suis Charlie!

“I spit back in yours!”

I believe she was arrested as a terrorist.

Democracy, by definition, is “majority rule.”  If the majority is ruled by a system of laws that match the majority’s moral standards – based on its religious or philosophical beliefs – then certainly a “right” to freely express one’s ideas should be restrained, to some degree.  If for no other reason than the majority feels a great sense of embarrassment when a minority opinion is expressed, something causing the greater whole to cringe, thinking, “Okay, you’ve gone too far.”  Yes, you have that right; but, just like farting in an enclosed space with other people near, others who could fart too, but they restrain themselves, the majority has the right to punish those who use no restraints, using “freedom” and “right” as a crutch with which to hurt people for self-satisfaction.  In a democracy, the majority should have the “right” to say to the self-unrestrained, “I slap you for farting in public, you uncivilized animal!”

In the 1970s, when The National Lampoon and the “Second City” comedy groups of Chicago and Toronto gained popularity, bleeding into Saturday Night Live, it sudden became fun to be irreverent and risqué, even gross. Monty Python’s Flying Circus was the English wave of sarcastic humor that sought to break the restraints of morals and religion.  As a minority then (under age 30 category), I took great delight in knowing comedy was rattling the cages of the establishment.  The more my elders complained, the funnier it became.  Then I grew up.  I became less amused because I could see the harm a word, gesture, or slight could cause.  I saw the wisdom of restraint; but while I changed, the ball kicked to a roll in the 70’s just picked up speed.

Don’t forget to save the gizzards for the dog!

When you open your eyes and look around today, you can see how your society has become an “in your face, I don’t care what you think, I have the right to insult anyone I want” gangland.  The minority element – the lunatic fringe – has become dissidents – rabble rousers demanding attention and changing the rules to suit their whims.  It is the proverbial “inmates running the asylum” mentality, and that should send cold chills running down your spine.  When the court system finds ways to interpret the law in support of such idiocy, punishing anyone who would reprimand that lesser view and write new laws based on majority will (i.e., abortion, gay marriage, illegal immigration, marijuana legalization, cartoons of Allah published, etc., on and on), then is ceases to be a democracy.  It becomes something unintended – something else entirely – something evil.

The wider view of what is happening in the world now is the realization of what happens when you pretend you have a democratic society, but then let democracy haters have the “right” to ruin democracy.  Our principles of freedom requires, perhaps demands that we let in all the people who are fed up with the insults the minority has the “right” to hurl.  We promote, “Come and take advantage of our system’s natural flaws, turning the system against the people you hate, because they hate you.”

The payback is just beginning.  It is the new reality program, like Saturday Night Live used to be, only it is going to be “Everyday Live.”  The promos will say, “You thought that was bad?  Just wait for the next live show.  Coming to a mall, copy store, or grocer near you!”  You have to learn to laugh at misery, including murder and violence, or else it will make you a drag on society.  It is the “new satire.”  Get it?

Nostradamus predicted this demoralized state coming, way back in 1555.  What he wrote can most clearly seen through hindsight, as far as historical specifics go, in the less than 10% of the quatrains of The Prophecies that have been fulfilled, so far.  The remaining 90+% have yet to be completely fulfilled, but they can still be understood as predicting a future in general terms.   The meaning of the generality is unmistakably clear in many of the quatrains, such that they tell of a future still to come, recognized as such because no past history matches the events stated.  In those, we know that Nostradamus predicted (prophesied) an invasion of Europe, from Eastern Europe and North Africa.  This is not my opinion, but a consensus view by those who have done serious study of what The Prophecies contain.

Rene is a nice French name.

Anyone who can put his or her hands on a copy of Rene Noorberg’s book, Nostradamus Predicts the End of the World (first printing 1982) can clearly see this.  One does not need to read any of Noorbergen’s interpretations (he said the end of the world would come in 1988, then amended that to an unspecified time before the year 2000), because all interpreters are bound to make mistakes when guessing about the future, based on present conditions (which steadily change).  You just look at the pictures.  Noorbergen put maps of Europe in his book, with arrows showing the direction of military troops flowing into Italy, France and Spain, from Eastern Europe and North Africa, and then maps showing the flow of military troops retreating back to where they came.  Since 1555, no such invasion has ever taken place, and none has ever been remotely considered a possibility … until now, when Europe has suddenly seen how well democracy is working.  Foreigners from Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe have fled their countries and massed within all the nations of Western Europe.

The whole point of focus in the recent news is France is turning conservative (versus liberal).  The people are electing politicians that are now seeking to restrain the waves of Muslims into their nation.  Imagine that.  France, with all its history of colonial presence in Africa and the Middle East – the land the Ayatollah Khomeini found welcoming, as an exile – is trying to legally restrain the influence of Islam in their socialist nation!

Nostradamus clearly (to me) writes of attacks on Italy, Spain, and France, by organized and coordinated military personnel, with naval support that is well beyond what one would think the Arabs or Africans have at their disposal now, using the element of surprise as a strategy to catch all of Western Europe with its collective pants down around the ankles, completely unprepared to defend itself.  The result will be a rout, where Italy, Spain and the southern half of France will be rapidly subdued, to the point of surrender, simply to stop the warfare.  Solidarity will become the repeating of French capitulation in wars past, with signs being held up that say, “We quit!  Please don’t destroy the Eiffel Tower.”

Forget the possibilities of nuclear weapons being deployed … for now.  Just focus on France, just as that is where the recent focus has been laid.  Imagine how the French people are just like all others in the Western world, feeling a false sense of safety and security because the media regularly tells them, “We’re Number One … Again!”

We see how well the French police SWAT teams took control of one hostage crisis; but how do you think they could handle a thousand 9-1-1 calls at the same time, all saying, “They are outside and they have automatic weapons, artillery, and they are killing everyone!  Help now!”  The view presented by Nostradamus (especially in Italy) is one of utter chaos, with no “killer instinct” or real war experience countering this invasion.  “Our boys” (and girls) know video killing, not real war experience … like that going on in Syria now, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya and Palestine yesterday.  The picture Nostradamus paints (in many quatrains that link together) is a drop your weapons and run defense of Italy and Spain, which is like the saying, “You can run, but you sure can’t hide.”

I am reminded of another scene from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this one where Arthur and knights storm a castle, where a wedding party is going on inside.  Two guards are ceremoniously standing outside the castle door, merely to welcome guests.  They hold spears, but have no intent to ever use them.  The rush by Arthur and his knights completely destroys this “security team.”  They cut the guards to pieces, mercilessly.

You can sleep well knowing your armed forces are protecting you.

While visiting Italy a few years back, I saw military personnel in the Rome airport, holding automatic weapons, and dressed in military fatigues.  They looked the part of warrior, but are they prepared to open fire on anyone who rushes up to them?  Or, are they trained to welcome guests first, and second let any possible terrorist fire the first shot?

While you ponder that question, consider how eager you would be to begin shooting at an invasion force, should you own a weapon and see them killing at will along the beach you are wealthy enough to live near?  Who would you open fire on without permission to do so?  Perhaps one can see just how easy it would be to be caught off guard, even though it appears we have our guard up.

The emergency preparedness and training the people of the general population grasp, since we no longer go through Fallout Shelter Drills, is how to gather in public squares and light candles, lay flowers and hold signs.  Many people, for various philosophies and beliefs, do not own weapons that shoot real bullets.  So, many prefer to gather in peaceful protest, as a recourse during times of anger.  However, in a war, protesters raising sticks in the air (even if only holding signs) can be seen as threatening, leading to an exercise called shooting fish in a barrel.

Because so many in the West have shown solidarity for the “right” to insult two of the world’s major religions (Christianity and Islam), the superiority attitude can come back to haunt those of Western Europe.  While the insults have had the effect of causing one of the two to tremble in fear (Christianity), you have kicked the Muslim dog too often, for too long.  When they say, “I do not like you doing that,” by refusing to believe your stools stink at all, you will have made your bed to lie in.  Believing no one would ever think of insulting you – including Islamic terrorists – Nostradamus predicted you are wrong.  In Western Europe – in places like France – the choices for future solidarity will be limited to: “Do you opt for starvation, torture, and/or death?  Or, will you place this robe on and bow to Mecca five times a day?”

The spit will be running down your face, because of the hatred your comedy has helped deepen.

Another futuristic view where violence grows from no self-restraints – A Clockwork Orange.

There is so much left that could still be said .  There is so much I would be glad to say to serious inquirers.  There is so much that can be done to at least lessen the severity of the storm that is headed our way, which has now been brewing for decades.  Just know this: The purpose of prophecy is to prevent horrendous times ahead, not celebrate their coming.  The problems of a prophesied future can only be compounded when prophecy is ridiculed and insulted, simply because people believe they have the “right” to spit in the general direction of prophets.  To have people spit just because fewer people believe there is any reason to listen to prophets anymore is craziness.  When no one listens, the prophecy comes true.

The end.

Quatrain X-67


This article was directed to the news of some man named Frank said Nostradamus predicted a May 28, 2015 event, which would be a 9.8 magnitude earthquake in (presumably) California, at 4:00 PM. I felt the need to respond to such hogwash, even if (given today’s news and the decline of California over the last twenty year) a 9.8 magnitude ‘rolling’ earthquake would finally split California in half and drown all the Democrats who elect idiots to run their state into the ocean. Alas, Nostradamus was Eurocentric and saw no earthquakes outside of the Aegean Sea – Black Sea region.

And, because of the news today, we know Frank had a slight miscalculation back in the day. Here is what I posted then:

—–

This morning I read an article on the Internet that reported a video that was becoming popular.  The video used the name Nostradamus to support a claim that there would be a 9.8 magnitude earthquake (in California most probably, around 4:00 PM).  While the person [Frank] stated it was voices that told him to warn the world of this event that would happen on May 28, 2015, it was Nostradamus’ Quatrain X-67 that seemed to support what he found on his computer program that plotted planetary positions.

Completely separate from any prediction of a major earthquake that will happen on May 28, 2015, at 4:00 PM PST, I felt it necessary to clear up misinformation the video stated about what Nostradamus wrote, and what that means/meant.

First, he made the claim that there are many mistranslations of Nostradamus’ quatrains.  This is a fact.  He also claimed that the translations he found (while doing an Internet search) left out a comma here and there, while changing what was actually written to be something else.  This is most often the case, as the English translation of Old French always becomes a paraphrase of what is stated.

Here is quatrain X-67, as published in the 1568 Lyon edition:

This can be difficult to read, due to the lack of pristine printing capabilities in the 16th century, and it being a reproduction of a paper page in a copy machine; but it shows this:

Le tremblement si fort au mois de May,

Saturne caper, Jupiter Mercure au beuf,

Venus aussi cancer, Mars en Nonay

Tombera gresse lors plus grosse qu’en œuf.

This literally translates (so that no paraphrasing occurs) as:

The trembling so strong in the month of May,

Saturn goat, Jupiter Mercury with the ox [bull],

Venus also crab, Mars upon Nun

Will fall hail then more large that in egg.

My understanding of how to read Nostradamus then leads me to modify the above translation, such that the first line being not with an article, but with the pronoun identified with the word “le.”  That becomes best suited as “It,” such that “The” is then identified with a particular “trembling,” one known globally to be “It” predicted to eventually come, as far as ‘trembling, quaking, and shaking” is concerned.  Whereas that commonly means the trembling of an earthquake, the same fears are not just felt in one geographic location where an earthquake of major magnitude strikes, but a global fear sets in because of one [“Le,” read as the singular number article, “A”] catastrophic event (of which a major earthquake may or may not be that event).

My understanding of how to read Nostradamus also leads me to realize that each line is separated for a purpose, with that purpose included to infer a separation of time taking place, between the event(s) of one line and that following, especially when a comma ends a line.  As such, reading “May” as a significant “month” as time, where not only is the 28th of significance, but all of the days that include “May,” but also a “month” of days leading to “May.”  This means line one takes place for one “month,” and not just one hour of one day.

My understanding of how to read Nostradamus, especially as a certified astrologer [one who initially saw quatrains like X-67 just like the Frank person sees it], is that: A.) No string of words written in a line of a quatrain can be spit out as one “sentence” or singular statement – at least as the primary reading – because each word bears individual importance that must be understood separate from the others, before adding that value to the next and rest; and B.) The language of Astrology is itself a language stating symbolic meaning, which cannot be condensed into one simple statement of time (as: Jupiter and Mercury conjunct in Taurus will occur on this day and last for this long).

My understanding of how to read Nostradamus then leads me to see the use of lower case presentations of “caper,” “beuf,” and “cancer” as not being the signs Capricorn, Taurus and Cancer, but Latin and French root words, from which the signs take their names.  Thus, the symbolism of a “he-goat,” “beef-ox-bull,” and “crab-disease” come into play in interpreting this quatrain, more than does a reading as indicating distant star grouping.  Even still, Astrology applies symbolic meaning to each star sign, which become a more important (yet secondary) application to the symbolic meaning of individual planets stated.

My initial interpretation of this quatrain (as an astrologer looking for the timing of planets being in signs), factoring in the time separations, such that one planet’s placement did not have to coincide with the next placement listed, but become prior in sequence, making a statement of time stretch over as much as a year’s time (more or less), led me not to look to the future, but to the past.  The greatest earthquake of recorded seismic activity (the Richter Scale) was the 1960 Valvida (Chile) earthquake, which measured 9.5 on the measurement scales, causing tsunamis and multiple land disasters – both prior to and subsequent to the actual quake.  Further, all of this activity took place in the “month of May,” with the earthquake taking place on Sunday, May 22, 1960.

I wrote an interpretation of this quatrain in 2004, which I published in my book Pearls Before Swine, Volume 1: Predicting the Past (2005, AuthorHouse).  I have reproduced this article (without editing) on my website, which can no longer be read anywhere, due to many years passing and things changing. The article was entitled: Quatrain X-67 Interpretation. [Let me just say the earthquake of The Prophecies still to come will open the earth deeply, cause problems with narrow straits and canals, while exposing ancient Roman satanic secrets. That will be in one place; and, like the 1960 earthquake that caused a tsunami that spread east from Chile, there might be residual earthquakes elsewhere, also doing great damage. Nostradamus did not predict any of those.]

My updated understanding of how to read Nostradamus tells me that regardless of how much of the past can be read into the quatrains of The Prophecies of Nostradamus, everything can still be predictive of something else still to come.  This becomes a reflection of “history repeating itself,” such that the strongest earthquake ever recorded (in 1960) can still be topped.

This information does nothing to belittle the “Spirit” that “Frank” heard, leading him to make a video to warn the world about May 28, 2015.  It merely addresses his association of that voice’s warning, with his view of the Earth’s system and alignments and his remembering something about Nostradamus possibly being relevant.  I like to clarify all improper associations, poor translations, and misinterpretations of Nostradamus quatrains.

The Antipope Francis and the tweet to him from Donald Trump


Here is another ‘flash from the past,’ as this article dealt with news in 2015 (a decade from June 2025). In this I present quatrain V-15, which seems to be able to have meaning in support of Donald Trump (before he was the 45th POTUS) warning the then still alive pope that ISIS wanted to kill him. In the times since the days when ISIS was warmly referred to by Barry Obama, the intent is still Islamic; and that relates to the Prophecy shown to three children in Fatima, Portugal (1917) that has the survivor of those apparitions (Sister Lucia) sent a letter to the Vatican saying something very similar. Nostradamus is on board with that as well.

In the Preface to The Prophecies of Nostradamus is a warning that the future of his writings would take place when “Reigns, Religions, & Sects” would become “diametrically opposite” to the way things were back then. The “Religions” is then a statement about when the Roman Catholic Church and the Islamic mosques and clerics have no roles towards saving souls. They both promote condemning souls. So, there is a long series of quatrains that justify that warning in the Preface, which tells of the corruption and demise of the Church of Rome. Ergo, Pope Francis, the Socialist Jesuit, now departed to his soul’s Judgment, was an antipope, along with every pope since the murder of Pope John Paul I. Nostradamus wrote very deeply about these false shepherds.

So, with that ‘head’s up,’ here is another old article worth reviewing:

—–

“It’s common for some to criticize Pope Francis’s wariness about capitalism, but Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump just took that to a new level, saying he’d try to “scare” the pope by telling him: “ISIS wants to get you.”” (August 20, 2015 – Washington Post, article on Faith by Michelle Boorstein and Sarah Larimer)

Long ago, when I was first going through all the puzzle pieces that are the quatrains of Nostradamus’ work The Prophecies, I saw a separate story about the attacks on Rome, and in particular those directed at overtaking the Vatican.  The story (when pieced together) confirms that vision told by Sister Lucia, the Portuguese nun who, as a child, witnessed the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Fatima.  She has written letters to the popes (since made public), which warn them of this very attack that will greatly change Roman Catholicism.

I believe Sister Lucia is the one on the left, because she was the oldest child. She grew up to become a nun.

This aspect of the future is not without a link to past history, as “ISIS wants to get you” is not an overnight hatred, created in a vacuum.  Still, while many popes of ancient history have recruited knights who would invade the Holy Land, for the purpose of killing Arabs, and others have armed warships to protect against invading navies of the Ottoman Empire, and still others have instigated Inquisitions that forced Moorish Muslims to convert, migrate away from Europe, or be killed, the current affairs and future failures are less about Christian-Islamic hatreds and more about the disconnect between the Church of Rome and God and Christ.  Neither God nor Christ nor the Blessed Virgin protects that enterprise the Vatican has become, which is now a totally corrupt institution.

Yet another separate (while linking chronologically) story that supports this declined state is that which focuses on the last true Pope of Christ, sent to save the Church from itself.  That pope was Pope John Paul I (not II), who lasted only 33 days before he was murdered. 

Behind his back the cardinals called him the Peter Sellers pope.

Two of the co-conspirators in that murder were Karol Józef Wojtyła and Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger, who would be elected to serve as popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI.  Nostradamus wrote quatrains that detail the murder and the papacies of both murderers, neither of whom has had the blessing of God or Christ.

Certainly, this news will be rejected by the vast majority of Roman Catholics, and many others who mistook the celebrity of Pope John Paul II as if that spotlight was the glow of sainthood.  It has even been mistaken that the prophecy of Saint Malachy, which predicted Pope John Paul II was to be known as “De labore solis,”or “From the labor [or toil] of the sun.”  People point out that Wojityla was born and died when a solar eclipse took place – a situation not completely accurate – but that denies the meaning [astrologically supported].  Christianity is faith in Jesus Christ as the Light, which aligns him with the Sun.  Any blocking of that light of truth should then be seen as a labor or toil away from God and disconnected from Christ.  As such, Wojtyła was born during a total eclipse in a place where Christianity would be totally blocked from the people – meaning he was born in Poland, witnessing the Nazis exterminate Jews, while acting as a priest without a congregation in a Communist Bloc nation.

It should be noted that the apparition of Fatima warned the Church to re-consecrate Russia [in 1917, just prior to the Revolution], or Communism would de-consecrate the Church.  The beginning of this end would commence with a Communist pope, who would rule for twenty-seven years.  This state of change would cause a new millennium to begin without a Roman pope who had any connection to God or Christ.  The last millennium to begin like that commenced when pagan emperors ruled Rome.

When one can see the truth of Saint Malachy’s iconic prophecy of Pope John Paul II, one can then see the manipulation of that prophecy misdirecting the truth for Pope Benedict.  The name of the pope said to follow “De labore solis” was to be “Gloria olivæ,” or “Glory of the olives.”  Supposedly, Pope Rat took that name because a branch of the monastic order founded by St. Benedict is called the Olivetans.  That manipulation was done knowing of Saint Malachy’s prophecy in advance, making his choice of title to be an effort to make the prophecy seem fulfilled, while having no love of Benedictines.  The reality of the moniker is the Sicilians are known for their olive oil; and the Sicilian mafia had been influencing the actions of the papal bank since before World War II.  Pope Rat would bring great recognition to that evil institution, as a former Nazi [Hitler Youth] who cared nothing for religion, but loved the power of money the underground criminal organization claiming its success from the Olive Oil industry made available to him.

Pope John Paul I [“De medietate lunæ” – “From the mediator of the moon”], Albino Luciani, was the pope [divinely] sent to save the Roman Church.  He was a youthful 65, with no health issues, but he died only 33 days into his reign.  In that short time he had evaluated the Vatican Bank, discovered criminal undertakings, and ordered a reshuffling of positions of authority.  As such, the name given by Saint Malachy can be seen as more than that predicting someone who would only serve “To half a moon” cycle [he served a moon cycle, plus 5 days], but as one who would leave his own ego to the side and rule “From heart-centered emotions.”  This means he was truly filled with the Holy Spirit, as one who was reflective of and receptive to the light of the Sun, and emotionally intuitive to that wisdom.

Pope John Paul I [he was the first to use the Roman Numeral I in his title, as a prophecy that there would be another John Paul to follow] was murdered to stop those changes, and his murder was covered up.  While many knew only that the world would face the election of another pope, sooner than anticipated, some knew this was a murder and Wojtyła, and others were part of that plot.  Two assassination attempts would be made, subsequently, on the life of Pope John Paul II because of that association with evil.

With that, Satan had the Popemobile invented.

With this history known, I would like to present one quatrain that makes Donald Trump [himself a worthless fellow of no religious merit] a prophet, showing that even the mouths of fools can be opened to prophesy.

Quatrain number 15, in “Centurie Cinquiesme” [Fifth Group of 100], shows:

In this quatrain it is important to see the words “grand pontife” [end of line one] and “Second esleu” [at the beginning of line three] as connected.  This tells of a “great pontiff,” where “great” is more a description of the wealth and nobility of a position, than a value statement about one individual.  A “pontiff” is a pope of Rome, who then leads the institution that has the financial holdings of the Vatican.  However, the capitalization of “Second” points out the important significance of a “Second elected” “pontiff,” which is a statement of “Two pontiffs,” where the importance of “Second” implies another “elected” while one is still alive, who also was “elected.”

That is a statement of the present pontificate, where the world has two popes.  Pope Rat is enjoying his early retirement, due to the financial ability of the Vatican to pay for two popes at the same time.  Meanwhile, the “Second elected” pope is doing his World Communism Tour of Cuba and Barack Obama’s De-Christianized America.

I next direct your eyes to examine the use of “clercs tumultuez” [at the end of line two] and “Son favory bastard” [at the beginning of line four], where “clerics tumultuous” are linked to “His minion counterfeit.”  These can both relate to the Roman Catholic institution that has filled its priestly positions with those who could not care less about the salvation of the masses, as the Church has a history of turbulence and trouble, with its own priests and bishops, and their history of abuse towards children.  Still, “clerics” can be seen as the Islamic clerics, especially those who call for “Death to America,” and the tumult that Donald Trump warned was desired.

The capitalization of the possessive pronoun “Son” then shows the importance of the one who guides all priests and clerics, who is God [Christians] or Allah [Muslims].  Each group claims to be the “favorite,” which brings with that favor victory.  The use of “bastard” can then be seen as Pope Francis having no Father, because he is “a son of the people,” from the Socialism of South America and Argentina.  Of course, Islam believes the West worships Satan, considering all Christianity to be led by infidel popes, with each being “base born.”

I will leave the rest up to your interpretation, but let me finally point you gaze upon “En navigant captif” [beginning the quatrain], which can state (among several translations), “Upon navigating lost liberty.”  Antipope Francis came to America and told the world to welcome those who would escape the tyranny of a poor life, with open arms.  He was referring to the Muslims flowing into Europe, from Syria (primarily), while saying, “Don’t stop there.  The world is full of poor people with hands out for help.”  Well, he and Pope Rat will try to escape Vatican City when all hell breaks loose, becoming a refugee himself.  Antipope Francis will flee like a rat on a sinking ship, rather than stay and bravely die for his beliefs [he has none worth dying for].  He will be captured and just like in the vision presented to Sister Lucia (while a poor child in Portugal), the surviving pope will be forced to march up Vatican Hill, to his own execution.

Hunting for Islamic State terrorists in France


This is an article I posted that was relative to the news in 2015. Something makes me think the French government has not eliminated this problem in the decade since. The problem with countries that promote the dream of freedom means that torch attracts the moths of terror, who are always free to kill and then run and hide. They are not worried about getting caught, because free nations no longer believe in the death penalty – an eye for an eye punishment. The French probably catch terrorists and then pay them as consultants to tell them how to spot a terrorist and where one would hide if that be necessary.

With that said, here is that old article (still relevant):

—–

On November 13, 2015, several bombings took place in Paris, France.  The death toll was 129, with all bombers killed in suicidal acts.  The New York Post reported on November 16, 2015: “French police raided 168 locations across the country and detained nearly two dozen people as authorities identified more members of a sleeper cell said to be behind the Paris attacks.”  They posted the picture below, with the caption: “Anti-terrorism police officers enter a building during a raid in the Mirail district in Toulouse, France.”

It is worth knowing that Toulouse, France is not close to Paris.  It is 650 kilometers due south (roughly 404 miles).  Here is the Google map plotting the travel distance.  It may be worth a reminder that I wrote an article posted here on WordPress, entitled “Toulouse Gunman is Europe’s Wake-up Call,” when there was major news of terrorism in that area.  I included some maps there too.

The point I would like to make is in reference to the location of Toulouse, which is in the Midi-Pyrenees region of southwest France.  Nostradamus wrote of Toulouse, but never actually spelled it that way.  He wrote “Toulouze” once, “Tholose” four times, “tholoser” once, “Tholossain” once, “Tholosse” once, “Tholoze” three times, and “Thoulousains” once, for a total of twelve times mentioned.  That is significant, for one place to be repeated in The Prophecies that often.

EVERYTHING is important, in particular the one-time appearances of words; but repetition is a signal of heightened importance.  Toulouse is only one of the places in southwest France that get repeated notation, making that region a sensitive to the future told of in the quatrains of The Prophecies.  From Marseilles to Perpignan, and northeastward from the Pyrenees to Bordeaux (along the Garonne River, which Toulouse touches) is clearly a place of battles and warfare never before seen there (on a modern technology level).  So, police searching in Toulouse got my interest.

In late 2010, I began work on a book that was published and available for Internet bookseller purchases around the first of April (maybe March 30th), 2011.  The main reason for me writing that book was because of the repetition of the word “Pyrenees” (spelled with and without an accent mark, as well as “Pyrennees” and “Pyrens“), which numbered eleven times.  Additionally, the word for “mountain[s]” was also repeated significantly (as “Mont,” “mont,” “monté,” “Monts,” “monts,” “montz,” “Monter,” “monter,” “montera,” “Montaigne,” “montaigne” and “montaignes“), a whopping total of sixty times, with most of the Pyrenees references accompanied by one version of “mountain.”  To add in one extra element, Nostradamus wrote “montaignars” (meaning “mountaineers“) an additional time; and all “mountaineers” require “mountains.”  For that abundance of repetition I wrote a book and I entitled it The $25-Million Answer: How Nostradamus Told Where to Look.

Nostradamus told where to look for the Islamic terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden.  He is described as a “mountaineer,” or “mountain man,” which certainly fits him M.O. from Afghanistan.

After my book had been out a month, on May Day 2011 (May 2, 2011 in Afghanistan, but May 1, 2011 in Washington D.C.), the world was told of “Mountain Man” bin Laden being killed by Navy SEAL Team 6.  Soon after that, the $25,000,000 reward was taken down and Osama bin Laden’s face was removed from the F.B.I. “Ten Most Wanted” list.

So much for my book sales.  Ce la vie.

Forget how flimsy the evidence was and how the body was “buried at sea, in order to respect Islamic funeral requirements” so conveniently.  My tiny, insignificant voice could not be heard over the long, loud roar of cheers by bi-partisan Americans who had long sought revenge, so some form of justice could be seen as having been finally been meted out.

“Hey, everybody!  It was a body double,” I shouted to no avail.  Where was Barry Scheck (of O.J. trial DNA arguing fame) when you really need him?

Everything I wrote in 2010-2011 still applies today.  I still believe Osama bin Laden is hiding (with assistance) in the Pyrenees Mountains caves, occasionally going to Toulouse (perhaps) and reading the newspapers, while enjoying a latte at a sidewalk café.  Before he was reported killed, al-Qaeda threatened the French after some African colonials were killed by terrorists; so why not think there has been some kind of terrorist cell there for some time?  According to the Wikipedia article “Videos and audio recordings of Osama bin Laden,” the following are the last two listed:

January 21, 2011 – (Report on Aljazeera 4/27/2011)

“On January 21, 2011, Osama bin Laden said the release of French hostages depends on a pullout of France’s soldiers in Afghanistan and warned Paris of a “high price” for its policies, in a tape broadcast on Friday. “We repeat the same message to you: The release of your prisoners in the hands of our brothers is linked to the withdrawal of your soldiers from our country,” said the speaker on the audiotape broadcast on Al-Jazeera television.  This was the final tape released by Bin Laden prior to the confirmation of his death on May 2, 2011. A new audio message that Osama Bin Laden recorded before his death was released on May 7, 2011.”

May 19, 2011 –

“A recording purported to have been made by Osama bin Laden shortly before he died has been released by al-Qaeda. In the message, he praised the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt and speaks of a “rare historic opportunity” for Muslims to rise up. The 12-minute audio message came out on a video posted on Islamist websites, and has been translated by the SITE Institute.”

Simply because Osama bin Laden was confirmed to have been the voice of these two messages where France was targeted, and with French hostages taken in Mali (Report of rescue in 2014), it is difficult to see the version of him shown in Abbottabad as up on European news.   The CIA made bin Laden out to be senile and nothing like the way he was before, when he was an active threat.  Still, it is clear that France was a target of hostages in former French colonial Africa, a historic collection to which Syria can be added.  That focus could be to satisfy the needs of al-Qaeda’s Basque partners, who do not want France to be forgotten, and from a position of being nearer to France than Afghanistan.

The book is still available as a Print-On-Demand book, available through Internet booksellers in the USA within a few days after ordering.  It is also available in Canada, Great Britain, Australia, France, Germany, India and Japan (on and on), but it just might take a week for it to arrive. (Amazon link)

Part of the back cover shows this [the language is Català]:

The irony intended was a clean-shaven bin Laden running for public office and nobody recognizing him.

Now, I am not trying to take advantage of the tragic situation that happened in Paris recently.  I simply have been reminded of the recent news from Spain, which says a vote has cleared the path for the Basque Region to secede from Spain and become independent.  This issue has been brewing for at least a decade [politically], with recent news saying Catalonia will declare its independence.  The Spanish Prime Minister has responded that such talk will lead to a showdown, with news of that confrontation being on November 4, 2015 … nine days before the attacks in Paris. (Here is a link to an article in The Guardian)

I wrote at length about the Basque people and Basque Country and the sense of oppression they feel from both Spain and France.  Due to large populations of Basque at both ends of the Pyrenees Mountains [Catalonia is in the east, surrounding Barcelona], and somewhat in between, their pains of oppression match that of the Islamist [in particular Palestinian pain] and makes their location fit the places of The Prophecies.  The Basque influence even extends into southwestern France.  In the book, I pointed out the verbiage of Nostradamus indicated people of like mind, although from different perspectives, would united against a common enemy.  It is the philosophy: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.  Therefore, the Basque would be an ideal partner for an entity like ISIS/ISIL [which was unknown back in 2010-2011).

I wrote from a perspective of the Basque people still being “under the yoke” of the Spanish, but the recent news fits the scenario even better.  Here is a map of France, with Toulouse plotted, along with the autonomous regions known as Basque Country and Catalonia.

Again, I am not trying to get rich selling copies of my book; but I want everyone to be reminded that there are systemic methods required to make sense of The Prophecies, which includes understanding the letters and how the quatrains interconnect to tell many prophetic stories.  I have written books that explain The Letters of Nostradamus  and The Systems of Nostradamus.  However, there is no need to purchase those just yet.  The book The $25-Million Answer employs that knowledge and explains how quatrains should be interpreted, as if the reader is being reminded of already having that knowledge.  Therefore, regardless of whether or not Osama bin Laden still lives inside the Pyrenees Mountains, preparing an army of terrorists that will fully attack from land positions, in conjunction with a surprise invasionary force along the southern coast of France, or is indeed dead, but someone just like him having taken his place in the Pyrenees, that area is still some place worth looking into.

The French police searching buildings in Toulouse is getting warmer.

UPDATE: (11/24/2015)  Coincidence?  Or, is someone reading this blog for tips?  News of today says:

“2:50 p.m. – Seventy French police backed by two security helicopters have raided the home of a radical Muslim preacher in the Pyrenees. The raid in the town of Artigat on Tuesday targeted Olivier Corel, according to an official with the gendarme service. It is part of stepped-up security measures under a state of emergency declared in the wake of Nov. 13 attacks that killed at least 130 people in addition to seven Islamic extremist attackers.  Authorities believe Corel lodged Fabien Clain, reported to have been the voice on an Islamic State French-language claim of responsibility for the Paris attacks. Clain was convicted in 2009 for involvement in a network sending extremist fighters to Iraq.  Corel is also believed to have figured in the religious life of Frenchman Mohammed Merah, who killed a rabbi, three children at a Jewish school and three paratroopers in southern France in 2012. —By Nicolas Vaux-Montagny”  (link to AP News article)

Here is a map that places Artigat in relationship with Toulouse and the Pyrenees Mountains:

What to expect in the future


I posted this on my current Katrina Pearls website when I began it, in 2020. I am not sure when I wrote this article originally, but it could be back around 2010 or so. Still, it is worth reviewing now, as the same future lies ahead.

In Mark 13, Jesus told his disciples, “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” (Mark 13:32-34, KJV) He added, “Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.” (Mark 13:35-36, KJV)

In Matthew 24, the conversation then included this: “But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’ And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 24:48-51, BSB)

In the parable of the Bridesmaids Jesus told, he warned, “The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’” The foolish bridesmaids [those calling themselves Christians, while acting like heathens, were caught without any oil in their lamps [metaphor for knowing the truth of Prophecy that can only come from love and devotion to Yahweh – the Bridegroom]. When they ran to the vendors for oil [metaphor for false shepherds who know nothing about the truth of Scripture] they ran back to find the wise bridesmaids [metaphor for males and females in flesh of the earth, thus feminine, versus the masculine Spiritual] had been take off to the wedding banquet. The foolish ran and knocked on the door [metaphor for calling out for God’s help, when all hell is breaking loose on earth] and they were told by Yahweh, “Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.”

That means, turn away from Yahweh and deny divine marriage to Him, so one’s soul can become His Son reborn into flesh and one is faceless in relationship. To “know” is to consummate a divine marriage Spiritually, so one is in the name of Yahweh as His Son reborn into flesh. To “know” Yahweh is to become Jesus reborn.

So, the moral of the story of the future is: “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”

With that said, here is What to expect in the future …

Listen carefully to what I am about to say, because this is all anyone needs to know about what Nostradamus wrote.

Everything in Les Propheties is of divine origin. It was written by a man who willingly submitted his soul to serve the One God, Yahweh. It is God explaining the End Times, through Nostradamus.

When one realizes that truth, then one realizes there has not yet been anything of Nostradamus’ work that has been fully understood. The End Times are not yet here. Everything written in the poems of Nostradamus [quatrains, with the exception of one cinquain] will all make sense when the future has arrived. Before that future is fully here, some quatrains will prove this future coming, by hindsight.

Prophecy, the true variety, is only designed to warn in advance, however.

This means that all the individual poems that have been popularized, as someone’s idea of them having already come true (in hindsight), as reasons to believe Nostradamus had some special talent that allowed him to see the future [like knowing astrology or how to peer into water and see visions] are wrong. Those ideas are nothing more than examples of how history repeats.

In astrological terms, regardless of how infrequently Uranus conjuncts Neptune [every 170-172 years], there will always be another conjunction of those two gas giants (as seen from planet earth) to come. Each conjunction will occur during points of history, such that historic events on earth will always bear similar consequences mirroring that celestial event by the actions of humans on earth.

Just as the planets repeat cycles, so too does human history.

This is how fools can say Nostradamus predicted three antichrists [he did not]. The Apostle John wrote of many antichrists existing in the first century, with many more to come. Where Nostradamus supposedly wrote that he saw Napoleon as one [he did not], and a second was Adolph Hitler [he did not], and a third is some character named Mabus [he did not], these are the ideas of men, not the explicit writings of Nostradamus [he wrote letters of explanation].

All of the parallels of Napoleon and his failure in Russia and Hitler and his failures in Russia are merely examples of history repeating.

As the saying goes: Those who do not learn from history’s mistakes are doomed to repeat them.

There is a good reason for that saying.

This means that the End Times, whenever they come, will have absolutely nothing to do with the military failures of Napoleon and Hitler. However, if one can understand those history lessons [which were not in the history books of Nostradamus], knowing God [not one of His prophets] is pointing out a future filled with events of similarity to past history, in poetic verse, then one can act to spot tyrants when they raise their ugly heads and lop those heads off, rather than hide in fear and cower in capitulation.

The future can be controlled by acts of faith now.

A nice lush, green lawn does not come by chance. It comes by faith that the wind will blow weed seeds in, to mess perfection up. Faith believes a lawn needs preventative acts. Faith then requires routine acts that attack weeds when they pop up. It is much easier to let a lawn go to weeds, than to do hard yard work that is worthy of “Yard of the Month” awards.

There are heads raised now in the world that qualifies for them being lopped off … plucked out rudely like ugly weeds. They come from many nations, both large and small, both religious and non-religious. Ugly heads are raised in America, against other ugly heads in America, as tyrants raging against the machines of other tyrants. They all seek tyrannical control of this land … and other lands. All nations suffer the same self-destruction syndrome. All nations have lazy people that fear the hard work of maintaining their governments. People are afraid of dying, because they fear the threat of death emitted by tyrants. The world is now (and has been for quite some time) projecting the future that God told through Nostradamus.

In my work interpreting the quatrains of Nostradamus, I have seen how a certain percentage needs to be applied to significant past events, simply to build a baseline that warns us why the future will come, as horrid as it is prophesied. One of those quatrains has solidly been the creation of the State of Israel, which occurred in 1948.

That specific quatrain is listed as the ninety-seventh in “Centurie III” [Latin terminology] of Nostradamus’ most famous book. Since Nostradamus was an educated Frenchman, he wrote in French [but occasionally in Latin]. He did not write his prophecies according to French syntax, which should be explanatory simply from the freedom poetic verse gives to writings. No. Nostradamus wrote using French [and Latin] words that used the syntax of God. This is why no one who claims fluency in French [as a natural language of birth] has ever satisfactorily solved the meaning of Les Propheties.

The French of quatrain III-97 is as follows:

Nouvelle loy terre neufve occuper,
Vers la Syrie, Judee, & Palestine:
Le grand empire barbare corruer,
Avant que Phebés son siecle determine.

Literally, and avoiding translating articles, such as la and Le only being translated as “the,” the French viably translates as:

Unheard of before ordinance country new to enjoy,
Against there Syria, Judea, & Palestine:
A great empire barbarous to be collapsed,
Before which Phoebe ones its time ended.

There are other viable translations, but this translation makes the history of Israel being recreated quite visible. New law [that of the United Nations] made a nation new, from occupied land [British Mandate by the League of Nations].

The new Israel was near Syria, where Judea had been. Until then, the land was that known as Palestine.

The Ottoman Empire had collapsed at the end of World War I.

Turkey surrendered and gave away possessions to keep international inspectors from uncovering the mass executions of Armenian Christians. There were so many discovered the word “genocide” was coined to define it.

The British Empire was dwindling away by the end of World War II.

This was not in the original plans for gaining Palestine, but it worked for the West.

The United States, due to the bomb, had become the new great empire and the Middle East was too weak to force its will against this new Jewish nation, allied with the West.

Phebé is the French spelling [also spelled “Phœbé”] for the Greek (Titan) goddess of the Moon. The moon symbolizes Islam. The British had groomed Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Persia (Iran) to be the new models of Western values, with Islamic clerics preaching against that change silenced.

Phoebe made oil gush from the sands.

I find this quatrain, which clearly tells of a past event quite accurately, as the one that explains why all the unknown quatrains will come to be in the future. It all stems from this Western lie, using an international political organization as the justification for the theft of Palestine, allowing the Jews [via illegal immigration and military backing by their benefactors] to steal the land Zionists so dearly coveted.

I still believe this quatrain is at the center of everything the West calls terrorism, ISIS, al Qa’ida, Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, and many other terrorist organizations and sponsors. However, the same words can point to a future event, like that one past, where retribution is the history repeating.

The saying here is: Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Look at how the laws of the West have been altered by immigration and the philosophy of democracy. Immigrants have taken their values to new lands and made new laws that are designed to allow foreigners to occupy those new lands.

Look at how Syria is in the news today. Russia has become involved in protecting a nation that is anti-American and anti-Israel. It is a volatile neighbor of Israel, the former Judea. The desire is to return Palestine to its rightful owners.

As all empires rise to great heights, they all eventually collapse and fall down. Just as the Ottoman Empire fell and the British Empire is splitting in fragments due to the Brexit fiasco, the power of the United States has been stripped by eight years of rule by left-wing, Socialist Democrats in the United States. Now the once weak Russians [a pretense, plot, or strategem] and the rising Chinese are threats to this weakness. Europe is already basically disarmed and powerless to protect itself.

The century of the Moon is now, in the twenty-first century. It is their century to die completely [and they will], but their plan is to take the whole world down with them.

This view is totally future focused, although it is easy to see it happening now. Nothing about Israel being recreated was even remotely a concept that was possible to predict in the sixteenth century. Certainly, nothing so accurate could have been guessed by a Frenchman living (and dying) then.

When one reads this one quatrain as a coming event that reflects a totally changed (for the worse) world, the same words tell of what has not yet even remotely happened.

The Western nations will have a new law imposed upon them by invading forces [similar to Napoleon and Hitler?]. The West will militarily be occupied, against its will.

The Christian West [or so it likes to pretend to be] will all be like Syria is today and was in ancient history. The place that the Romans once called Judea will return to being called Palestine. Israel will be overthrown.

The Christian Empire will be overrun by Muslim jihadists, savage Africans and Eastern Europeans [barbarous peoples], with all the civil liberties once enjoyed by hundreds of millions suddenly evaporated. Only one religion will be allowed … Mandated … enforced by brutal punishments. The Church of Rome will cease to be … at least as it was long, long ago.

Westerners will find themselves kneeling before Islamic Law. The time of retribution will be at hand. All sense of religion on earth will come to an end.

So many quatrains paint this picture, but all are so unknown today that they cannot be interpreted as having ever occurred before. The verbiage is, however, clearly terrible. They hold a future in them that no one will want to find their reality in those words.

Everything is a warning by God. It is clear enough to see the danger now, before the point of no return is reached. Seeing The Prophecies as a work of God, through a Prophet, requires faith to avert.

Faith is not based on someone fluent in French telling you whether or not Nostradamus was accurate or inaccurate, based on human brains [the atheism of science and knowledge] figuring things out.

Faith is based on belief without proof being necessary. Faith means actions come forth, knowing God sent a warning to change. Faith brings about actions that stop the direction the world is going. Faith is correcting the mistakes of the past, without the necessity of revenge and hatred becoming a future based on an uncorrected past.

This is where history predicts the future of the world, based on past mistakes not learned.

Alas, there is little faith left in the world. The world has become Godless; because it expects God to prove Himself without the least action taken to warrant that.

Few people truly believe in Nostradamus because few people believe in God and His prophets.

Oh well.

Try to remember that souls are eternal. Since Creation there has not been one atom added to the universe, nor one atom taken away. Everything has always been in a constant state of change. Life on earth largely reflects how souls incarnate that cannot return and be one with God. The world as a vacation wonderland has passed. There are so many living humans on earth now, it is like going to Disney World and calling a fun day standing in line, getting only on an occasional ride. The cost for that pleasure is prohibited.

It was like this at Vatican Land when we went there.

Humans are reflections of souls trapped on earth because of sin. Life on earth means an eternal soul is trapped in a sack of filthy flesh. That life continues until that filthy flesh dies and falls away from the soul. A soul that has not been cleansed by God’s Holy Spirit cannot return to God’s heavenly realm. So, a soul needs to find another body of flesh to inhabit [reincarnation], until one can find true faith in God.

After the Muslims, Christians [false shepherd variety] and Communists get through with this world, souls will return into flesh that is nuclear waste from the beginning. There will be very few capable of being cleansed by the Holy Spirit then.

Now is the time to get right with God. Tomorrow might be too late.

The future of Nostradamus projects one’s mind to when zombies will become real, never going away. Earth will then become the Hell nobody ever really believed existed. Just like Nostradamus’ prophecies, hell lives in the future.

You do not want that proof to make you a believer. It will be too late then.

Blood of the French mingled


Back in in 2016, the news of the day included this (as recalled by Google AI Overview):

On July 14, 2016, France was targeted again in the attack on Nice in which a truck was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating Bastille Day, resulting in the deaths of 87 people and injuring 458. Since the attack on Nice, several further terrorist attacks have occurred in Europe [3].

That led me to post this article, relating how it can be glimpsed in quatrain II-78, with the fact that the terrorist who drove the truck was Tunisian and the quatrains offer variations of spelling for “Tunis,” as well as for “Nice.”

The point of this act, now nearly a decade later, is France was unprepared in 2016, just as it will be unprepared when a major Islamic invasion of Western Europe (via the Mediterranean beaches) comes. Nostradamus makes this vividly clear in multiple quatrains linked together to tell that story. In my mind’s eye, I see beaches protected by men and women in speedos and bikinis, with no weapons whatsoever, when armed and dangerous soldiers (marines) land, with waves of drones clearing a path for them with dangerous projectiles. There is little difference between French celebrating the axe murders of the French royalty, with a wild truck running over celebrants and tourists and Europeans enjoying the leisure activities (at night) of a Riviera stroll, with wild soldiers shooting them down with bullets.

Therefore, the lessons of history say, If it can happen once, it can happen again. Or, as so beautifully put in the movie Magnolia: “We might be through with the past, but the past ain’t through with us.”

With that said, here is what I posted in 2016…

—–

Knowing now that the man who drove a truck into a crowd of people in Nice, who were gathered to celebrate French independence (Bastille Day), was Tunisian, I can now yield some information about what Nostradamus wrote in this quatrains.

First, Nostradamus made indications about Tunis, spelling that word a multiple of ways – from Thunis (1x) and Thunes (1x), to Tunes (2x) and Tunys (2x) – while also making reference to Punic, which was the Republic where Carthage was (during the times of the Roman Empire).  Hannibal was, in essence, a Tunisian who passed not far from Nice, on his way to a showdown with the Romans at Lake Trasimene.

While Nostradamus made all these references to Tunis, Tunisians, and Berbers of North Africa, the point was to identify where Muslims will come from, as part of this [un-]Holy War that is prophesied.  A terrorist event, as horrid as the one that just happened in Nice is (was), pales in comparison to the much greater pains planned for the West.  A dead terrorist will do nothing more to terrorize the French or Europeans.  That, however, does not mean more events like Nice are no longer coming.

Nostradamus mentioned Nice (spelled that way) in three quatrains, while also spelling it as Nisse (where the Occitan is Nissa) in two other quatrains.  Again, the tragedy of July 14, 2016 will pale in comparison for what is prophesied to happen all along the Rivera’s of both France and Italy.  In quatrain X-60, the main theme statement says (as I read the presence of anagrams), “I bewailed Nice, nor Monaco, Pisa, not Genoa.”  Still, other quatrains indicate those tears are from an invasion that will make those four places desolated and uninhabited.

Looking briefly at the quatrains that have Punic (Punique) referenced, one stands out as possibly mentioning the blood spilled last night.  It is quatrain II-78, which states [in French]:

Le grand Neptune du profond de la mer,

De gent Punique & sang Gauloys meslé:

Les Isles à sang pour le tardif ramer,

Plus luy nuira que l’occult mal celé.

In the secondary theme statement [line two], a division is marked [an ampersand mark], which says first “From people Punic,” which equates to saying, “From people of Tunisia,” to even “From people of North Africa – of Berber descent.”  Following the ampersand [which notes where importance is to follow], Nostradamus wrote, “blood French mixed” or “blood French mingled.”  While this can mean marriages between the French and Tunisians, which could be a statement about French colonialism in Tunisia (1881-1956 = French Tunisia), it can also imply Tunisians killing the French, spilling their blood so it mixes together.

Because line two ends with a colon, line three acts to clarify this intent.  As such, line three says, “Them Islands with lineage [or race] for it long in coming to row.”  This could be an indication that the Tunisians are separate in France, as “Islands,” who will have been in France some time, waiting to undermine them (ramer also means, “to prop up with branches or boughs”).  As a statement that acts as an overall clarification of a bloody relationship between the Tunisians and the French, the conquest of Tunisia by France certainly spilled Tunisian blood so it mingled together.  Thus, the retribution would then be “late to row.”  As a former French colony, Tunisians might have easy access to migration to France; but, those branches are obviously finding it difficult to assimilate with the former masters (and vice versa).

Again, no one would have ever predicted the event that occurred in Nice because of this quatrain.  However, since the event has now come into historical view, it is possible to see that act of terrorism as “The blood of French people being mingled in pools on a street in Nice.”

Italy and Plague


Nostradamus wrote many quatrains that appear to list places in Italy.  He also wrote many references to plague, pestilence, and death.  Some quatrains are more generic and combine ways of change and conflict to the world in general, of which Italy belongs.  Here are some examples:

III-75
Pau, VeroneVicence, Sarragousse,
De glaives loings terrois se sang humides:
Peste si grande viendra à la grand gousse,
Proches secours, & bien loing les remedes.

I-63

Les fleaux passés diminue le monde,
Long temps la paix terres inhabitées:
Seur marchera par ciel, terre mer, & onde:
Puis de nouveau les guerres suscitées.

II-19
Nouveaux venus lieu basty sans defence,
Occuper la place par lors inhabitable:
Prez, maisons, champs villes prendre à plaisance,
Peste, guerre, arpen long labourable.

Here’s a prophecy that might be easier to grasp.  It was written by a guy named John who, like Nostradamus, had become the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Two Prophets, same Christ Mind.

Revelations 9:13-21

13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

The important thing that one should always keep in mind is prophecy is written by Prophets in the language of the One God (YHWH).  Prophets write in divine language.  Idiots read human language and wildly guess about the meaning.  True Prophecy is like “the writing on the wall” that Daniel had to solve, even though all the wise men of Babylon tried first (with great rewards offered) and Big Brains could not figure it out.  True Prophecy requires another Prophet to make sense of prophecy.

When all is said and all has been done, true Prophecy always is a message sent by the One God to idiots who think they know some things, when they don’t know squat.  God sends His Messengers to always say, “You fools are going the wrong way!!!”  

Simply by there being any interest in the mystique of Nostradamus and the Prophets says the world is going the wrong way.  Changing one’s direction is necessary.  Finding God and doing what is necessary to put Him in one’s heart and let Jesus be resurrected in one’s flesh, so the Holy Spirit leads one to do the will of the Christ Mind is the answer to all their holy riddles.  That is the meaning of Trinity – Father+Son+Holy Spirit is God+flesh+Christ. 

That metamorphosis comes from changing from brain-led beliefs in things material (all that a brain adores) and seeking heart-felt faith.  Faith demands one hear the warnings of the Prophets and know the Messenger speaks to you

Now, do you want Nostradamus and John to be proved as true Prophets of the Lord after the world has come to a terrible end?  Do you need a pandemic to kill a third of the people on earth before you believe?

Or …?

Maybe you need to translate the Old French above and think about it awhile.
