According to the Wikipedia article entitled “Iron Dome,” this “is an Israeli mobile all-weather air defense system” that “is designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 to 70 kilometres (2–43 mi) away and whose trajectory would take them to an Israeli populated area.”
This is what Donald Trump says the United States of America will develop to protect that homeland. Of course, years of Communist festering in American politics, with the corrupt twelve years of Barack ‘Kenyan-Betawi[1] Muslim’ Obama and his senile protégé Joe ‘Oil Cancer’ Biden, the defense systems of the United States of America have been reduced to a band of ‘Corporal Klingers’ asleep at the wheel at whatever strategic location they have been assigned.
After autopen approving orders to withdraw from Afghanistan, giving away billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment[2], the Communist Party of America (misnomered as Democrats) is now fighting tooth and nail to keep the Trump Administration from doing anything that would protect the American people from external dangers. They riot in the streets of Los Angeles (and all the ‘sanctuary cities’ of the blue regions) because millions of potential paramilitary soldiers are being rounded up and deported. Can’t have that. No siree.
Well, now Israel has tested the waters of World War (it is not III, as that numbering applied to the Twentieth Century, and we are in the Twenty-first Century now, so the World War next will be the End Times War), the reports on the cable news says the Israeli Iron Dome is not working as well as it was planned to work. Why? More missiles fired at them than they planned. This has led Donald Trump to send American military assistance to Israel, dipping our big toe into that hot water, which (if you think about it) leaves the United States with less of a baby “iron dome” than it needs.
When this is added to the Communist government under brain-dead Joe (Doctor Jill probably was running the show) sending U.S. debt money to Ukraine, where an actor playing the role of president was buying all his buds yachts, and one realizes we have had out name called by the coach, telling us to “Get in the game,” when our own ‘teammates’ have tied our shoelaces together (in a tight knot).
This leads me to tie all this to what Nostradamus wrote. He wrote very little about Israel, although he made it clear that the taking of Palestine and support for that theft will be the cause of the End Times war. This means all the bad history that goes way back to when Iran was ruled by a shah, when it was a stronger ally to the United States than Israel, the reason the shah fell was the Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile and began a revolution. What was that revolution about? It was about the United States being the “Great Satan” that meddles in Muslim nations and places dictators wherever it can, while arming Israel so the Muslim nations cannot defeat them in war.
Jiminy ‘Cricket’ Carter refused to help the shah out, because Carter wanted to get rich (like the shah) on Iranian oil (at a fixed price of $25 per barrel, in 1978). The shah told him to go where his soul is now; so, when the Iranian hit men were chasing the shah around the world, Carter told the shah to go to Cairo, where poison could give him a fast form of cancer. With the ‘Cricket’ thinking the Ayatollah would like him (Carter never met a dictator he did not like), the Ayatollah allowed ‘students’ to take everyone at the U. S. Embassy in Tehran as political hostages. They were held captive until Ronnie Reagan (another actor playing president) was elected.
The strongest deterrent to Iran was Saddam Hussein. He waged war against Iran for eight years, eventually winning concessions from Iran in a negotiated ceasefire. Iran would not be the monster it was today, if Baby Bush had not revenged Daddy Bush’s loss to Billiam Clinton (1994). Because Daddy Bush could not take out Saddam, Daddy was seen as weak (“I am not a wimp!”) and lost to a womanizer. Baby Bush going to war with Iraq, using the false pretenses of “weapons of mass destruction” being in Iraq, did the dirty work the Iranians wanted.
The point that Nostradamus made is what can be termed (because he wrote the word) a “stratagem.” That word (to all you students of the American educational system) means, “a plan or scheme, especially one used to outwit an opponent or achieve an end.” In the times of Nostradamus (the archaic times), he would have defined the word as “skill in devising plans or schemes; cunning” (all Oxford Languages). This means the one who is charged with planning this “stratagem” is none other than Osama bin Laden (who our Muslim leader from Kenya and Jakarta, Indonesia would like you to believe is dead).
This makes it important to realize that Nostradamus wrote many quatrains about the events of September 11, 2001, which Osama bin Laden claimed to have organized and ordered. He publicly said those attacks must be understood as a declaration of war, by Islam, upon the “Great Satan.” He added that he liked the American people. It was their government he hated. So, since it is the American people that elect their political representatives, who immediately stop working for votes and begin doing as told by their political gods above, to not vote every scum out of office and change styles of government means the hatred of the government is now going to land in the laps of the people.
Now, here is where logic must be used. For the uneducated, logic is a branch of philosophy, derived from the truths of mathematics. Logic says Osama bin Laden is an idiot, for challenging the “Great Satan,” or he is a military mastermind that has a “stratagem” that depends on pulling the strings of the American puppet, to make sure it acts as anticipated. A military mastermind then acts and speaks from strength, not just hatred in his heart. To logically assume that level of strength, that means the Islamists (of which Iran is the pocketbook and purse) have secured weapons just as strong as those of the United States; so, all they must do is weaking their enemy and wait until a time when the guard is low …
Iran purchased everything Osama bin Laden said they needed BEFORE September 11, 2001. The lying Soviets (led by K.G.B. Vlad ‘The Impaler’ Pootin) sold them the hidden nukes that supposedly were dismantled and made harmless in the S.A.L.T. agreements (1972 & 1979). Lying Soviets do not sign peace agreements. Iran used oil money to by the death of the “Great Satan” (and all its ‘Christian’ pals) from the other hated enemy of free economies. Nostradamus wrote of this ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ scenario (in great depth); so everything going on now is just distraction.
Everything going on between Hamas and Israel and Iran and Israel is pulling the strings. Waste weapons here and waste weapons there. Then, maybe, sign some false peace agreement will be signed. That will make it seem like the West won and Islam is on its knees praying for forgiveness.
THEN WHAM!
The Seattle Kingdome … like all domes … last a while, then they fall down.
This is just the beginning. It is a story I have read, written by the divinely led pen of Nostradamus. He wrote (translated into English) The Prophecies. For all you majors in gender-affirming, political science, or community organizing majors in college, who never cracked a textbook teaching such basics as English, a “prophecy” is “an inspired utterance of a prophet” (Merriam-Webster). The capitalization makes it be the most important set of “inspired utterances” the world must pay attention to today. It is God speaking to each one of us, through the “prophet” Nostradamus.

[2] The Department of Defense confirmed that over $7 billion worth of military equipment remained in the Taliban’s possession after the botched and tumultuous withdrawal was completed. (Aug. 2023) – Google AI Overview)
I first posted this article on June 4, 2011. This was well before the Hamas savage attacks on Israelis and the war that ensued. It was well before the recent news (June 2025) of Israel striking against Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities and Iran’s wave of missiles into Israel. The USA assisted the Israelis in defending against those missiles, so this was well before the latest threat by the Iranians that America will pay for supporting Israel. What must be seen as an ongoing and ever-present issue, which has been portrayed in recent news of Palestinian students (professionally paid protesters) causing a stench around Ivy League schools. As long as Israel exists in what was where the Palestinians called home, back when the Ottoman Empire said, “No Jews Allowed Here!”, there will be no peace agreements that last. This is the root issue of the End Times that Nostradamus prophesied.
Thus, because of that importance (as led by Yahweh to be written by a Saint possessed by the soul of Jesus, the Son of Yahweh), this article must be re-posted. Of course, that does not mean it will be read, much less heeded. It just needs to be sewn into the fabric of the souls that do read it; so, when that soul stands naked before Yahweh in Judgment (postmortem), that soul will understand when Yahweh says, “Aaaahhhh. You knew and did nothing.”
With that said …

I read this in an article posted on Helium, under the heading, “The Middle East conflict: Political spin versus truth.” [Helium is deceased.] I wonder if this is the history some people have made up and passed along as propaganda, or if it is the work of Hollywood, in its never ending “Lest They Forget” blockbuster movies each year? The writer stated (partially):
Fievel, the mouse from Russia, in a cartoon by Steven Spielberg, is a great illustration of what was occurring in Eastern Europe in the 1800s. Many fled to the United States, as well as many others who moved to Israel.
At this time, Israel was known as Palestine, and was colonized by Great Britain. It was an English Colony. Jews fled Europe to the Americas, as well as to Israel because they had no where else to go, but during the Holocaust, both the English in Israel, and the United States closed their doors to immigration.
This article is currently (June 3, 2011) ranked third out of thirteen listed under that topic heading. This could indicate a lot of people believing the incorrectness of the article, or it could mean a lot of people want to believe it. America (and the world) is full of people who are easily fooled (through laziness), so let us correct this failed student of history, one fallacy at a time.
A reference to the “1800s” in one statement, implies that time period is associated with the following statement, which says, “Many (Jews) … moved to Israel.” That simply is not true. Prior to 1948, when a U.N. resolution allowed the State of Israel to exist, the only prior State of Israel existed in biblical times. That Israel ceased to exist when the Assyrians overtook that land and caused the Jews [Israelites] who lived there to die, become slaves, or be scattered to the four corners of the earth. The Holy Bible’s Old Testament documents that loss fairly well. However, in the 1800s, no Russian Jews (nor Russian mice of Jewish descent) “moved to Israel.”
In the statement, “At this time (the 1800s), Israel was known as Palestine,” that can only be a reference to ancient Israel AND Judah to be close to true. This statement is so absurd it makes it appear that the Jews went on vacation and told the people left behind, “Hey, we are going away for a while, so take care of our land, which we named Israel. But, you might want to name it something else until we get back.”
Palestine was the name that was reinstated once the Romans and Jews had been outcast by the Ottoman Turks, after the fall of the Roman Empire. One might recall a series of Christians Crusades that were designed to recapture the lost land surrounding Jerusalem, dating back to the year 1095, and continuing for several centuries (if they ever stopped). These were because the land known by the name Judea had been lost to Muslims.
The name Palestine comes from that having been the name given by the indigenous inhabitants, who were there (along with others) prior to Moses leading the Israelites to that Promised Land. God promised the children of Israel (second name for Jacob), as long as they obeyed the will of God. The Jews failed to live up to their end of that “promise” (a “Covenant”) so they lost the land. The Palestinians have always been there, thus they remained; and, the name Palestine became synonymous for the people who largely lived there. However, the Palestinians have never felt the need (as did the children of Israel) to have one of themselves be named “king.” They just always lived under whoever called themselves “emperor.” The Turks became the Emperor of Palestine.
The statements, “Palestine … was colonized by Great Britain. It was an English colony” are total fabrications. Palestine was a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, until the Turks agreed to the German surrender that ended World War I. In that surrender, and due to the creation of the League of Nations, the Ottomans were required to give up their holdings in the Middle East (other than Turkey). As a plan to ensure warrior nations never again terrorized lesser nations through war, the genteel people of Great Britain and France (the two “weeners” of WWI) were deemed the ones to keep watch over those Ottoman holdings. Together, those two nations would keep the world forever safe from potential harm (a pipe dream that vanished around 1939).
Palestine was one land holding that was put under the “Protectorate” (a League of Nations coined term) of Great Britain. In 1918, when this first took place, Palestine included the land now known as Jordan. Great Britain divided Palestine into two sections, which were Palestine and “Transjordan” (the land on the other side of the Jordan River). This division was because the people there saw themselves differently, and they sought that separation. As such, Great Britain became an administrator of those lands of Palestine. They did not “colonize” anything, although the British Empire, which did consist of British created colonies (India, Australia, Canada, etc.) then tacked on the new lands they had been assigned to manage. Because such an assignment required the presence of British soldiers, so the British Empire could manage the way they had always managed best (back then) – at the point of a rifle – British people began living and working in Palestine.
It must be understood that the original Mandate (another U.N. official term), which gave France and Great Britain powers over foreign lands, was for the expressed purpose of leading those lands to self-management (self-governing). By the process where the vassals would be taught by their new “masters” how to manage the affairs of a nation, they were all eventually to gain independence. The intent from the beginning was to have each of five lands (Syria, Palestine, Transjordan, Lebanon, and Mesopotamia) become their own nation.
As such, the plan was to have a free-governing Palestine in the end. It would be a graduate of the Great Britain “national management training course.” Putting foreign lands under the Protectorate-ship of two major Western nations was never intended to be a domineering action. The goal of the League of Nations was to stop more powerful nations from sweeping in and taking total control of little, less powerful nations. World War I had been a result of such forced alliances, and the League of Nations was Woodrow Wilson’s plan to save the planet, not light the fuse that will end the world (if we do not wake up and realize the errors made).
The statement, “Jews fled Europe to the Americas, as well as to Israel because they had no where else to go,” is misleading (at best), and stretching the fabric of history to the point of ripping it asunder. It is a fact that “Jews fled.” The “Jews fled” the Middle East because of the Assyrians and Babylonians, at which point many Jews found Europe a place to call home. Europe, however, has a very long history of persecuting Jews.
One might recall how the Inquisitions instigated by the Roman Catholic Church were to “stamp out” Judaism and Islam in all European countries. In the 14th century, Jews actually went back to live in the Middle East, because the ruling Sultan saw their presence as a positive for Arab social and economic advancement. The Jews possessed many artisan skills, which were allowed to prosper in places like Palestine. Their presence was always with the known fact that Islam reigned supreme. Jews could worship as they wanted, but they had no rights to call anything home. By the 16th century, however, the climate changed in those Arab lands and Jews were once again banished. They went back to Europe then.
In the 1800s, The “New World” of America was thriving and welcoming immigrants. Many Jews did sail across the “Big Pond” to find a home in a land that advertised “freedom of religious beliefs.” They settled in pockets, in large cities, and maintained their religious faith, while being persecuted in America just as they found their relatives persecuted in Europe. They kept to themselves, and supported one another, trying hard to stay away from others who might try to begin yet another Inquisition against Jews.
It was from this segregated population that a splinter “Jewish” group – those with education, wealth, and knowledge of the political processes – sought other Jews (those Jewish in name only, not devout in a religious sense) to support a concept termed “Zionism.” The word “Zion” is associated with the place “Sion,” which was captured by King David, and where the temple was built. That place is synonymous with both Jerusalem and Israel. Because of that, “Zionism” became the name for a movement to return Jews to their holy land of Jerusalem. The problem with that movement was Arabs lived in Jerusalem in the 1890s, and Jews were not allowed in Palestine.
The first settlement of Jews in Palestine grew in the coastal ports cities Haifa and Jaffa. Wikipedia reports of Haifa, “In 1854, the city had a population of 2,070 Arabs (1,200 Muslims, 870 Christians) and 32 Jews.” Wikipedia reports of Jaffa, “In the 1860s Jaffa’s small Sephardic community was joined by Jews from Morocco and small numbers of European Ashkenazi Jews, making by 1882 a total Jewish population of more than 1,500.” Jaffa was actually the Arab name of the port city, with the walled-in Jewish section going by the name Tel Aviv. Wikipedia goes on to report about this Jewish expansion in Jaffa:
“The first Jews to build outside of Jaffa, in the area of modern day Tel Aviv, were Yemenite Jews. These homes, built in 1881, became the core of Kerem HaTeimanim (Hebrew for “the Vineyard of the Yemenites”). In 1896 the Yemenite Jews established Mahane Yehuda, and in 1904, Mahane Yossef. These neighborhoods later became the Shabazi neighborhood.”
“During the 1880s, Ashkenazi immigration to Jaffa increased with the onset of the First Aliyah. The new arrivals were motivated more by Zionism than religion and came to farm the land and engage in productive labor. In keeping with their pioneer ideology, some chose to settle in the sand dunes north of Jaffa. The beginning of modern-day Tel Aviv is marked by the construction of Neve Tzedek, a neighborhood built by Ashkenazi settlers between 1887 and 1896.”
As one can see, the growth of a Jewish presence at the end of the 19th century was due more to Zionism, than it was to Jews not finding a place to live in peace. There was oppression about everywhere in the world, and most certainly in the Arab lands controlled by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. To put this presence in perspective, consider the plight of the Christians who had lived as Middle Eastern natives, in the land known as Armenia. This land was once a vital part of the Byzantine Empire (Christian), but after the fall of that empire, the Armenians were traditionally persecuted by those Muslims, especially those aligned with the Ottoman Empire.
The Czar of Russia had traditionally protected the Armenians. Under the Czar, Russia was an ally of France and Great Britain during World War I, as the supplier of troops in the war effort around the Black Sea. However, the Russian Revolution, which has occurred prior to World War I beginning, had been temporarily put on hold because Russians felt a need to fight against Arab aggressions to their south. Unfortunately, when the Ottomans began killing more Russians than vice versa, the Communists forced Nicholas to withdraw from the war.
That withdrawal began such a bloodletting of Muslim resentment towards the Christian Armenians, who fought the Turks along with the Russians. Mass murders were ordered by the Sultan and carried out by the Turks. The number of deaths of innocent Armenians was so great that it called for the word “genocide” to be coined. This is a fact. Look it up. This means, had Germany and Turkey won World War I, the Armenian “holocaust” would have been completed; and with that done, it would have been like swatting a few flies to rid the Middle East of the Jewish presence. Instead, without Germany as its ally, the Turks were forced to surrender (although they continued to kill as many Armenians as possible before denying they knew anything about it). To keep Western eyes from investigating this fully, the Turks ceded the lands that the League of Nations would use as power pawns for raising its own egos.
Finally, the statement, “during the Holocaust, both the English in Israel, and the United States closed their doors to immigration,” implies there was a “Holocaust” known to the world. While there certainly were powerful people who knew what the German plan called for, in respect to exterminating European Jews (the Vatican, the British and American governments, and the rulers of all occupied European lands under Nazi domination knew), the implication that immigration laws were changed to add to Hitler’s delight in gassing and starving Jews is biased, to the point of being ridiculous.
German Jews were forbid from immigrating during World War II (when the “Holocaust” took place) because of a state of declared war. American born Japanese-Americans were interred during that time, which was a greater persecution than being denied a visa, when two countries are at war with one another. England was in a war of survival during World War II, and the least of its worries was the denial of Jewish immigration to Palestine (there was no Israel existing during World War II).
The reality of the history is such that during the rise of the Third German Reich, under Adolph Hitler and pals, the British were finding themselves stretched quite thin, as far as the controller of an Empire was concerned. They allied with France, and placed troops in France to threaten the Germans into being peaceful, “Or else!” They threw some fairly heavy language at the Germans when they invaded and forcefully took Poland, but they ran like whipped puppies to Dunkirk when Hitler invaded France. They could not stop Nazi bombers from flying regular missions over London, destroying their capital city, while the British had no America stepping in to fight Britain’s war for it.
The Zionists took advantage of Great Britain being caught with its pants down around its ankles. Great Britain had yearly increased the number of Jews allowed to immigrate to Palestine (much to Arab dismay), but by the time the late 1930s rolled around, legal and illegal immigration of Zionist Jews went through the roof. During the years of World War II, Jews found they could easily walk into Palestine, avoiding the draft and war back home, while helping the British keep the Germans away from Middle Eastern oil fields. The British welcomed the assistance, and the poor Arab Palestinians could do nothing to protect their promise of national statehood. They had allowed the British to manage them because they were not a powerful people. They complained loudly to the British governor about the immigration problems (sound like an Arizona immigration bill overturned?), only to have the British tell the local Arabs there was nothing they could do. While the British mis-managed, all the Palestinians could do, like the Ottomans before them, was hope the Germans won World War II. However, that didn’t work out too well for them.
By the time World War II came to an end, there were about as many Jews in Palestine as there were Palestinians. The British had just had their Empirical butts whupped by the Germans, with an England left to rebuild, and pesky Indians wanting their own national sovereignty. By 1948, the British had ceded India to the Indians (1947), and were packing it in as a world “great.” They let the Jews have their tanks and such, and some guy named David Ben-Gurion said, “Thank you very much.” Armed with Western weapons of war, the Zionists easily defeated the camel-jockey Arabs of Palestine, and declared Israel a new land.
This was known as the “Flag of Zion,” not Israel.
The new United Nations (the League was a total failure) said, “Approved,” and the gavel stuck the pad. Then, the world was all upset over the German genocide – of anyone not meeting Aryan genetic specifications (mostly Jews) – so everyone cheered, “Finally! A place the Jews can call home! Now, we won’t have to persecute them for living on our lands! Hip hip hooray!” Everyone except the Muslims, that is; but they only had oil, and no weapons of merit.
The moral of this story is one that is central to what Nostradamus wrote (in 1555, well before this dream ever materialized). Quatrain III-97 is a classic that most anyone can see clearly as a prophecy forecasting the theft of land, justified by a new manner of law. The story Nostradamus tells is still before us, as it tells how the downfall of all humanity will stem from this one act. In 1948, the Palestinian Arabs were a peaceful (albeit Christian and Jew hating) sort, unconcerned with being a world power. They have cried for justice since 1948, only to have the laws changed to rule in the favor of thieves.
The advent of oil as the most important substance known to maintaining one’s super world power has made the presence of the State of Israel, and its relationship with the Western powers, King England and Prince America, the way British Petroleum has been able to freely pump oil to its allies for decades. Unfortunately, that one-sided favoritism has been lost. It was lost when the Arabs teamed up with the broken apart Soviet Union, and all who have suffered while the West has grown fat and sassy from oil’s power.
The point is to either stay asleep and see the imaginary as real (like the writer of that Helium article dreams), or wake up and see the dangers that abound all around. The Arabs are far from holy. Their Holocaust of Armenians proved their hearts are black. However, they have found a way, after over fifty years of saving oil wealth, to buy back the level of power they possessed under the banner of the Ottoman Empire. The Muslims are again equal foes. However, the ego of the West has blinded everyone from seeing this.
On the flip side of the coin, the reality is America’s heart has grown just as black. It has proven time and again it is willing to kill anything that opposes its self-perceived right (said to be God-given) to lord over the whole world. The American dream is based on a lie. They are not “one nation under God.” The lie is in believing America is God.
Likewise, the Zionist dream is based on a theft. One of the Ten Commandments passed from God to Moses, written in stone for all children of Israel to abide by forever, states clearly, “Thou shalt not steal.” The almighty Zionist warrior, David Ben-Gurion said, “We have stolen their land.” There is no defense for this admitted guilt, in the long run. Theft is one turning one’s back to God. Without God’s help, the land will return to its rightful owner – easily or with much pain.
God sees all this evil, and knows what needs to happen as a result. From the gift of free-will, Christians can see who the real enemy is, and turn to God for the power to slay the beast, before the beast destroys the world.
The re-creation of Israel. This is the clearest evidence of Prophecy, because in 1555 there had been no land possessed by the remnant peoples of the lost Israel and Judah for over two thousand years. From the times of Jesus until then was over fifteen hundred years. The recreation of a nation (Samuel told Yahweh, so they can be like other nations) with the name Israel – a false understanding of that name – would not happen until 1948, nearly four hundred years after the first publication of The Prophecies. So, no standard of history repeating itself would be a magician gimmick, so one would think, “Hey, I bet this will happen again.” This quatrain is in the category of those easy to see, which a small percentage are. This is solid evidence that Yahweh inspired Nostradamus, through Jesus possessing his soul; and that means they all are equally divine and true, just not as easy to understand.
Here is what I posted long ago and longer before that:
—–
Let me first state that I wrote this article that follows in late 2013. It is a history lesson that explains the theme of The Prophecies, which is a most unholy war that will unleash such persecutions and horrors upon humanity that Yahweh will have to come destroy the evil that has overtaken the world. He promised never to do that with flood waters again; but this time an asteroid impact will do the trick.
Quatrain III-97 was published in the first edition of Nostradamus’ work, which was ‘added to’ in 1557 and then again (after the death of King Henry II of France and his wife became Queen Regent, allowing more to be ‘added’) in 1566. Nostradamus would die in 1566; but he would tell his assistant Jean de Chavigny, “The 1566 Lyon edition is so filled with incorrect text, make sure after I die the text is strictly followed.” That meant a corrected 1568 Lyon edition became the ‘whole’ of The Prophecies (Les Propheties), with later additions of quatrains here and there being added as questionable and highly suspect.
In the letter Nostradamus wrote to King Henry II of France, he explained his many quatrains in a way that made people think Nostradamus had gone mad. In the ‘Millennial Edition’ published in the year 2000, written by the worst of all interpreters of Nostradamus (Henry C. Roberts), he had a footnote placed on his reproduction of the “Epistle to Henry II” that said (basically, paraphrased from memory), “My publisher demanded I add this letter to the book. If it were up to me, it would be omitted as the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic, which makes no sense whatsoever.” In reality, that craziness is a profound statement that the whole of 942+ quatrains is just as maniacal, when read in the order presented, because everything has been scrambled and replaced in a meaningless random order. The letter written to King Henry II of France must be divided into parts and rearranged so sanity becomes the clear intent; and that is how one must approach the individual quatrains. Each must be placed into a new order that tells an epic poem .
One example of this is the last presentation of Centurie Sixteme, where the last entry is not a quatrain. It is a sixain or sextain, with every word written in Latin, not Old French. That becomes a ‘foreword’ to the quatrains to follow, with quatrain I-01 starting the natural order, but few others are in their natural position. This means every quatrain published between 1555 and 1566-68 were written in a natural order, before the first edition was published. A central theme is then Quatrain III-97, which explains most accurately a future event (and fairly easy to interpret), while foretelling perfectly how the event would happen. It is an event that would take place on the timeline of history nearly four hundred years later.
This is a central theme for The Prophecies, because all the horrid events foretold in the majority of the quatrains tell of the theft of Palestine by Jews, the support of that Jewish theft by the major powers of the Western (Christian) world, and the refusal to follow legal means as a way to resolve crimes of theft. That ignorance will be the motivation to destroy the stolen land, its illegal migrators, Europe and the “Great,” who live in a “new land” with a “new city” (“la grand cité neufve,” from Quatrain VI-97). The events of September 11, 2001 (told in many reordered quatrains) will be the throwing down of the gauntlet in this war.
With this ‘foreword’ stated, it is most important to see this prophecy told in Quatrain III-97 as having already happened (1948). Still, as is the case with all the quatrains, those which have already happened, all can happen again (in slightly different ways). This is reason for the saying, “history repeats.” Try and imagine how the same statements made in Quatrain III-97 can be reversed, with a ‘new world order’ replacing the old world orders that were the League of Nations and its bastard son, the United Nations. If you can re-imagine it, then it can happen again.
With all this said, here is the article I posted on my now defunct website in 2013.
Back in April or May of 2003, when I had not done my own translations of The Prophecies, I faced a group of skeptics in the Dallas, Texas area, and told them that there was a story to be found in the quatrains. I did not tell them to win a prize of some kind, nor did I tell them to find ridicule and embarrassment. I told them to elicit some intelligent response to what I saw was a serious issue, worthy of all men and women of intelligence looking into.
Here, I was making a presentation to a group of card-carrying skeptics about the meaning of Nostradamus, when I had no knowledge of the Old French text and no idea Nostradamus wrote letters that explained his work. I was just a faithful idiot trying to let the truth be known, even if the whole truth was still out of view.
Of course, the result of my appearance before that group of skeptics is based on who is judging the results. They felt they had defeated another idiot, one like all the other crazies they had come to them, like people who believed in such things as flying saucers, bending spoons with the mind, and, in my case, someone who believed in Nostradamus. There was not much logical argument from them. They simply believed that anyone from a time prior to the Age of Reason (and the invention of the scientific method) could not possibly know something of value in 2003, especially if that someone was a known astrologer.
To them, I was their monthly “dog and pony show.” In that capacity, they demanded that I give them some predictions that Nostradamus had written, some which they could test themselves for accuracy. Those predictions had to be due to come true soon (within a month or so), or they would forget all about what I had said. They would be polite enough to wait that long before they would officially laugh at me. They believed I would be proven wrong.
I gave the president of that club a print out of my notes for the lecture. I made it clear to him that Nostradamus did not make any clear predictions. I told him that Nostradamus wrote quatrains that had to be interpreted by someone else, in order for any clear predictions to come from his words. In that regard, I told him that I would make an attempt to predict the near future, based on the words of Nostradamus, and my view of current world affairs (up till April 2003). I made it clear that any predictions I made, which may prove to be right or wrong, were solely a result of my abilities-inabilities to gauge accurately the words written by Nostradamus. In other words, I made it clear to him that it was me doing the lecture, not Nostradamus. The man who actually wrote the words, who actually knew the meaning, was no longer available to speak live. The one lecturing was nearly 450 years after the fact.
I gave the president 15 quatrains that I would present in the lecture. Of these, five dealt with past events, but all dealing with the 20th century, between 1948 and 2001. Five others dealt with present events, which were still ongoing, already having come true partially, with the still unfulfilled parts actually being predicted on television news (separate from any link to Nostradamus). The final five were the “stupid pet trick” predictions. All of those five, where I predicted the future, were wrong. At least, they were wrong in the sense that they did not happen over the next month. One was badly wrong (will never happen), and another was equally off (didn’t happen when I thought it possible), but a small earthquake made it seem less off than it was (only a coincidental earthquake, in a place earthquakes happen regularly).
On those five quatrains where my predictions were wrong, I had guessed that it was possible those could happen that soon. I simply guessed wrong. That means those five are still waiting to happen, still pending. Since they have not happened yet, they are still to come, in the future. Mainly, I was just off on the timing, which was based on the astronomy I saw in some quatrains. I misread those planetary clues. C’est la vie.
What that group of skeptics refused to argue was the ten quatrains that I felt were strong evident of predictions having come true, totally or partially. They listened as I explained Nostradamus’ meaning, and the correlation to past historic events. They saw no reason to respond to any of that. They would not even argue what they thought to be a contrary meaning, or say how those words could apply to other “specific events.” They just sat there, watching my every move intently, to see if I was using sleight of hand to set up invisible wires for some spoon bending demonstration later.
That is what I call willful “ignorance.” The word “ignorance”, to me, does not mean one is incapable of thought and reason. It means one is too lazy to ponder. An ignorant person is one who ignores the truth, when the truth is in one’s face. In the field of science, where statistics are so important, the more one accepts something to be true, by failing to argue something “given,” the more one skews the facts of proof. In anything covered by probability, the more that is accepted as fact (without argument), the less role chance plays, and the greater possibility that probability (statistical analysis) elevates towards reliability (over 70 percentile). In other words, “If someone walks out on a weak limb, cut it out from under one, rather than leave a flimsy offshoot looking like a strong link to the main trunk.” Simply laughing at someone, without presenting one’s own facts, proves nothing.
One of those five quatrains that I presented, as having happened completely, as strong evidence for prophecy, is still just as phenomenal as evidence for belief in Nostradamus now, as it was then. It is one that is easy to translate, such that all pro-Nostradamus people agree on what it foretold. Back then, when I had yet to begin doing my own translations, it allowed me to see its accuracy, through what is typically the fog of someone else’s translation. It is one that has been on television programs about Nostradamus before, because they love to use the easy zingers there. It is the one known as quatrain III-97, and that is the one that prophesied the creation of the State of Israel, which occurred in 1948.
No one can argue that quatrain III-97 is about some other event, without being completely illogical, and without any sense of reason, or critical thinking capability. It is that much of (to use a George Tenent description) “a slam dunk” about the meaning. It happened in our past (now almost 62 years ago), but it happened almost 382 years after Nostradamus died. That is 393 years after the publication date (1555), and probably 394 years after Nostradamus was first shown the future by the Holy Spirit (minimally 1554). That is seeing the future, as far as Nostradamus was concerned. Still, that length of time is nothing in the overall focus of what that quatrain predicted to come true.
The prophet Jeremiah wrote about how hard it was for the Jews to take the loss of Judah, part of the land that Yahweh gave them, way back in 586 BC. He told of the coming loss (the book named after the author), and he told of the crying and moaning that took place after the crumbling began, when the Babylonians began taking Jews captive, in one large group after another (The Lamentations). Still, the land named Israel, which was lost to the Assyrians, finally was lost 136 years earlier, in 722 BC. That means that by 1555 it had been already 2,277 years (give or take a few months) that the Jews had not recreated a land named Israel. It is after all that time that it would be another 394 years, additional years after Nostradamus made the prediction, before that one event would take place, totaling 2,671 years since Israel last existed, without it having even been re-created again. In the times of Jesus, if you remember, Jews had relocated to the same land, but it was Judea, Samaria, and Galilee mostly (Palestine), ruled by Rome. That means the event that was to be about the re-creation of Israel was a real one-time event to predict, if ever there was one.
Surely, there would have to be some odds that the Jews would eventually get their land back, such that the greater the number of years that passed, the greater the probability could become. That is how the people of Chicago find hope in numbers, or how Chicago Cubs fans can eternally be saying, “Maybe this is the year?” The problem, however, comes from the Jews being scattered across the face of the earth, such that they were not in one place, in large enough numbers, to mount any kind of organized attempt to take its old land back. At least the Cubs have always been in Chicago, along with most Cubs fans. That means that for Nostradamus to nail exactly how that occurrence would go down (the details that come from his words in quatrain III-97), one would need a microscope to see the odds of that happening by chance. Based on the prediction originating in the 1550’s, the facts of the reality from history match the facts of the words of that quatrain, such that “chance” is blown completely out of the water.
Before getting into the interpretation, which is done like any interpretation (follow the systems and define the words used), one has to see the huge importance of this one quatrain. What makes this quatrain (III-97) so important to understand, and the reason it is so easy to identify, is it is a “major theme quatrain.” A “theme quatrain” is one that leads a string of quatrains, which together explain more and more details about one specific historic event (past, present, or future). A “major theme quatrain” not only leads its own storyline, it is an important element in the overall theme of The Prophecies (all the stories of all the quatrains), as a root cause of WHY a need would come for Nostradamus to write The Prophecies. This means that the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 is most important to know, both about what happened around that one event, and also about how that one event will play a role in the whole story.
Regardless of how the world feels about that recreation of Israel, it is the worst thing that could have ever happened. Our future depends on how we (specifically we Americans, but all Westerners in general, and all Christians throughout the world) see this event. It has been seen through rose-colored glasses, attached to blinders. It is most important for it to be seen clearly, and logically, with unbiased reason. Due to this importance, I feel it necessary to explain quatrain III-97 in much greater detail publicly. I will basically go over it as the “slam dunk”, “easy to see prediction” come true; but I will have to also get into a very deep, detailed breakdown of the total meaning, which flows from a completely accurate translation. That lengthy one I will only present on my website.
Once that is done, due to this important topic needing to be fully comprehended as part of a series of quatrains, I will continue into that series some. In that context, it becomes more apparent just how seriously important this event is to our well-being, and the ultimate well-being of the whole world. In that regard, I will explain two other quatrains in detail, both of which are also relative to this theme. The depth of those explanations will determine where I publish them publicly. If you want to look ahead, those two will be quatrain VI-81 and IX-34. But, that will be a while later. For this writing only III-97 is broken down, and only on simple terms. A deeper breakdown will follow.
The quatrain states in Old French:
Nouvelle loy terre neufve occuper, Vers la Syrie Judee, & Palestine: Le grand empire barbare corruer Avant que Phebés son siecle determine.
The simple translation, one probably similar to the one seen on the History Channel productions, says:
New law new land to occupy, Towards Syria, Judea, & Palestine: The great barbarian empire to crumble Before the century of the sun is determined.
“New law” is a new government. “New land” is where the new government rules. “To occupy”, based on everyone’s knowledge of what “occupy” means, says the people running the government in the new land had to move there. Like a vacant apartment for rent, the new tenants moved in “to occupy” their “new land”, and begin their “new law.” That is the Creation of the State of Israel summed up in line one.
Any doubt about that conclusion from the first line is erased in the second line. “Towards” means, “in the direction of, but not there.” It is a directional preposition, which is telling one in what direction this “new land” can be found. It tells where they will go “to occupy.” Line two offers three locations.
The first two are naming places that Israel is not, but is in that general direction. One is “Syria”, the country along the northern borders. The other is a reference to the biblical days, when there were two nations of Jews. Israel was actually the name for the northern kingdom; while the nation surrounding Jerusalem was called “Judah” (some say Judea). The written reference to “Judah” means (through omission) that Israel is the name of that “new land”.
The third reference is following an ampersand. An ampersand does not mean, “and”. It is like a sign blinking, saying, “SOMETHING REAL IMPORTANT IS TO FOLLOW”. What is very important that follows is “Palestine.” That is important because it is not “Towards” where Israel will be a “new land”, it is “Towards” what used to be known as Palestine. “Palestine” is the name of the old land that existed before the “new land” of Israel came “to occupy.”
If you are observant, you notice a colon exists at the end of “Palestine”. A colon is another sign telling one what to look for next. In the case of a colon, we know some kind of clarification or example of “Palestine” is coming. That clarification is telling us why Palestine would just allow its land to be the “new land” of Israel. The reason is the Ottoman Empire (“The great barbarian empire”) had crumbled. The Ottoman Empire is who used to protect little Palestine, but they were no longer in a position of strength (in 1948). So, Israel could become Israel, while Palestine would become extinct, because the Jews were mightier than the Palestinians were.
Actually, that requires more information to be historically correct. You see, in the year 1900 there were not many Jews in Palestine. By then, Arabs had pushed most Jews off what long before had become their land. Still, by 1909, some Jews were in Palestine, and settled near the Palestinian port city named Jaffa. Those Jews named their settlement Tel Aviv. People who know have said that a good relationship existed between the Arabs of Jaffa and the Jews of Tel Aviv. They got along together fairly well, as well as Arabs and Jews could get along.
Part of the reason they got along was because a Jew causing trouble in Palestine in 1909, while the Ottoman Turks ruled the roost, meant a high degree probability that there would soon be less Jews in Palestine to deal with. The Sultan of Turkey, after all, was a Muslim and he dealt harshly with non-Muslims causing problems. That is why line three is important to understand. At the turn of the Twentieth Century, there was no foreseeable chance in hell that Jews would become mightier than Palestinians (in Palestine), meaning there was no foreseeable chance in hell (in 1909) that a “new land” named Israel would ever take over Palestine. It hadn’t happened for 2,631 years (by 1909), and wasn’t likely to happen if things didn’t drastically change.
What happened between November 2, 1914 and October 29, 1918 was World War I; and it involved the Middle East. The Ottoman Empire was allied with the Germans, against the French, British, and Russians. Long story short, the Germans and Ottomans lost the war. The Russians had a revolution and dropped out of the war (1917), making the French, British, and Americas become the lucky victors. Actually, it was not as if the Turks had lost badly, but they had lost enough will to fight, enough to want to stop fighting altogether. That led to a treaty that was signed at a place near Paris, called Versailles, France (a place built by Kings Louis XIII and XIV).
In that treaty, the Ottoman Empire was set “to crumble”. Like a cookie crumbles into multiple parts, so did the Ottoman Empire. Their vassals, then known as Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine, were stripped from their control, and given over to a “new law” organization, called the League of Nations. The League of Nations was the brainchild of Woody Wilson, the President of the USA. The victors, France and England, loved the idea, and began the league, while the people of the USA never grabbed hold of a “New world order” (Nouveau terre loi) concept, and never allowed the USA to take an official seat there (it was never ratified by the U.S. Congress).
Soon after World War I ended, the League of Nations decided that it would be good if Palestine split in two, as western Palestine and the stuff on the other side of the Jordan River (mostly desert). They called that eastern part Transjordan (from a lack of imagination, as far as naming a place goes). The place known as Syria (which was a collection of five states), had a little coastal piece break off (one of those states), and they called that Lebanon. Since none of these places had strong central governments, due to the Ottomans running their business for them for a long time, someone needed to train the locals in how to run countries themselves.
The League of Nations generated a “New world order”, called a “Mandate.” In their Mandate, they decided that Great Britain would train the people of Palestine, the people of Transjordan, and the people of Mesopotamia (soon to be renamed Iraq). In the meanwhile, the French would train the people of Syria and Lebanon. These “trainers” would officially be known as “Protectorates,” meaning they were to be there to protect little ungoverned bodies from without and within, so no harm unset the plans.
With no predetermined timeframe established in the beginning, as to how long the Mandate for Protectorates would be in effect, they needed to have some goal in mind. The ultimate plan the League of Nations proposed was that all the little places being trained would eventually become their own sovereign nations, ruling themselves. For that reason, all these little ungoverned bodies went along happily. “Please give us our freedom to rule ourselves,” they all said. It was a “New world” all aglitter with “New” ideas, designed to make the First World War (called the War to End All Wars) the last war ever to take place in the world.
Now, remember that in 1908 there were practically no Jews in Palestine. That was under the Ottoman Empire’s control. By 1909, there were a few Jews in Tel Aviv. By 1920, the year the British actually took over as Mandated Protectorate, Jews from around the world began lining up in droves, to apply to legally immigrate to Palestine. They did this for a reason.
Around 1890, some Austrian-Jewish guy (Theodor Herzle) came up with the idea that Jews needed to have a place to call their own, and this place should be around Jerusalem. He did not come up with this idea because he was a deeply devout Jew, who missed being with his ancestors in Jerusalem. He was not one who grieved over not being able to pilgrimage yearly to Jerusalem, to wail at the wailing wall, eat blessed slaughtered offering remains, and other traditional rituals devout Jewish enjoyed. He missed being able to have a safe place to live, where Jews could write “New Laws” to keep European Christians from hating Jews (a tradition there). His idea was purely politically motivated. He had seen Jews pushed around and hated, particularly in Austria, but to some extent wherever they lived in the world. Before they made movies in Hollywood propagandizing the “Less they forget” theme, Theodor was kind of fed up with persecution against Jews.
He reasoned that if God gave Jerusalem to the Jews, then Jews should have Jerusalem as their land. He had no reason to think (for instance), Jews need to take over New York State and have that land to call their own, because a lot of immigrant Jews lived in New York City. No one had ever officially given the “New world” to the Jews. Therefore, he basically picked Jerusalem out of his people’s history, the history in Hebrew, where Jerusalem is called Zion. This guys idea became known as Zionism; and each year afterwards Jews would hold a conference, where they would get together and try to figure out how in the hell they could ever get the Ottoman Empire to let them have Jerusalem. The least of their worries were the facts that Palestinians lived in Palestine, Jerusalem was in Palestine, and Jerusalem was a holy city to all children of Abraham, including all Arabs, who did not like Jews.
These Zionism Zionists (or Jews for Jerusalem) began pooling their money and using it to influence people who were high politicians, especially ones who could easily be influenced by money. Those politicians understood that the British control of Palestine would make it easy to allow more and more Jewish immigrants into Palestine, even though the Palestinians would become more and more agitated by an ever-increasing number of immigrants on their land. They influenced two guys (Brit Mark Sykes and Frenchie François Georges-Picot) to draw up a plan to figure out who would get what, after The British and French defeated the Ottomans. They did that in 1915, a little more than a year after the Turks entered the war, three years before the war would officially end, and five years before the plan would ever be implemented. In November 1917, a British official (Arthur Balfour) announced the Balfour Declaration, which admitted Zionists influenced the Sykes-Picot Agreement, but the British government would support the idea of a Jewish settlement in Palestine, one that would not interfere with the Palestinians in Palestine. A very wealthy British Jew, Lord Rothchild, who wanted a State of Israel created, influenced this declaration.
After their projection of victory came true, the British did indeed begin to allow increasing numbers of Jewish immigrants into Palestine. As they did this, the Palestinians began protesting loudly to their Mandated Protectorate (the British), who were supposed to protect them, while they learned how to run their own land. The British controllers of Palestine acted like they were trying to keep the immigration rates at manageable levels, and would pretend to do something to reduce the numbers, only to have more pressures come from London, telling them to allow more Jews in. This went on for about 18 years, where the numbers of legally immigrated Jews in Palestine swelled each year, until 1938.
Guess what happened around that time. The Germans began acting as if they were not pleased with the terms of Versailles, which gave such tasty morsels to Britain and France to govern (borderland between France and Germany, plus great influence in the the Middle East), while the Germans were forced to pay reparation costs for World War I. They had a guy named Hitler, who was breaking every “New law” in the League of Nation’s book, along with his buds, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco). Germany and Italy began arming themselves (secretly, and not so secretly), while acting expansionistic. The British suddenly realized they needed to keep an eye on European business, as well as watch all the frontier borders, like Palestine, for German and Italians trying to sneak in.
The least of their worries were Jews coming into Palestine, legally or illegally. By 1938, the British were more concerned about helping out their European buds, in particular the French, in what looked like a new confrontation with Germany coming again. Fortunately, the French had built the Maginot Line, just in case the Brits would need to gather behind those defenses. That meant it was open season for illegal immigration into Palestine, between the years 1938 and 1948. That is how the Jews in Palestine could become mightier than the Palestinians. It was all because the “great barbarian empire” had crumbled, and its replacement dominator (Protectorates by Mandate, or the “New law” in town) had a hidden agenda.
This brings us to line four, which is really mistranslated in its simpleton form. Still, it does indicate an “age”, also known as a “century”, will follow the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The word “Phebés” is translated to say, “sun”, which is outright wrong. However, the French word “determine” means, “determined” or “concluded.”
This means the “century” that began when Zionists began colluding to steal Palestine ended in 1990 (1890 – 1990). That means that the “age” of Jews in Palestine (or Israel) just reached 100 last year (1909 – 2009). That means that the “time” of Israel will be “determined” by the year 2048 (or less, if 1948 – 2048). However, what it really means is it will take a “century” for the Arabs to have regained enough strength to become mightier than the Jews in Israel. That anniversary, when what goes around comes around again, comes sometime between now and 2018 (1918 – 2018).
Because we are now in the timeframe of a new “century”, when a whole new “age” began with the new millennium (began 1/1/2001), the necessity of 100 exact number years no longer applies. We are in a “new age” already, the 21st century. The reason quatrain III-97 is so important is its story is one of, “never forgetting a wrong done, until that wrong has been righted.” The Prophecies tells that main theme, through a series of minor themes. That story says that the Palestinians themselves will not be the ones righting this wrong (their land was stolen, in the name of “New law”). They will have a new empire that will right the wrongs for them. It will be like the happy days they once knew; but it will take some time to regroup, to the point of being able to regain the control (and order) that once existed there.
There is a real and present danger that makes realizing this history so important. It is on the “new” instant news on television every day. It is Iran, it is North Korea, it is the Taliban, it is Osama bin Laden, it is (fill in the blank), all hating the USA and its allies. For everyone who has been bought and paid for, to look away from this reality of Palestine illegally becoming Israel, there are as many seeing it as outright theft. Those people are the ones who have been arming themselves, making alliances with other who hate the West, for a myriad of reasons, so they will be able to act with horrible surprise (remember 911?), to get our attention very quickly, making a very strong statement that nothing has been forgotten by anyone on their side of this proverbial fence.
We do not want it to come down to angry men bearing arms (“New legal” weapons, ones from a “New age” of technology) settling this issue. We have to demand this wrong be righted by humane values, based on God’s Law (Thou shalt not steal). We must act for true justice on a matter, one which has festered for over 60 years. We have to understand just how important this is, to them AND to us, in order to act soon; and we cannot act from any understanding that people want to kill us to get even (while taking back that land). We finally have to understand this dire need to simply understand there is an argument that must be settled, not forever put through some knee-jerk political circus, where another failed “peace plan” can lead to more death and destruction. We have to be able to see for ourselves what the core cause is, to know just how wrong that wrong in 1948 was. That is why Quatrain III-97 is so important, and so clear.
This thus ends the “simple” version of quatrain III-97’s interpretation. It is plainly evident now that history has created the event to match its words. It is truly prophetic, foretelling of the coming of a time when a nation called Israel, the biblical name for some of the people who occupied the Promised Land, would be renewed. Still, due to some deeper views of the verbiage used, deeper meaning becomes known. I have brushed on a little of that already here, but I need to specifically address that in a lengthier writing. That will only be seen on my website, [now defunct].
That deeper explanation will make it easier to see how the interpretations of the other two quatrains (VI-81 and IX-34) will expose a deeper truth to why that “re-creation” was actually nothing more than the “theft of land”, using “New law” to justify it. Until then.
