Tender souls need help. Knowledge of future things is costly help and more than
that. Forewarned is forestalled. Let's look at the French Michel de Nostredame, better known
under the Latin name Nostradamus - from the time when Jean Calvin also blossomed.
Nostradamus was a doctor, a seer, and won entry in the royal court. The queen
favoured him. He studied astrological phenomenology - it was kabbalah teachings, mostly -
and also wrote hundreds of prophesies in terse, cryptic verses. The quotes can be studied in
better detail here: [Nostradamus Link].
Dr. Michel Nostradamus was born on December 14, 1503 and died the 1st or 2nd of
July in 1566. His learning and abilities didn't make him foresee - it was something innate
or given from deep inside - assisted by sulphur damp and astrology, and most likely tied in
with ancient alphabeth canon and rabbi contemplation.
His most notable successes are predictions centred on the French Revolutions, but he
also named the leaders Franco and Rivera from the civil war in Spain in our
century.
Nostradamus had to write in obscure style to avoid being prosecuted as a magician,
and the poems - "Centuries" - of Nostradamus were made very obscure. First, he deliberately
wrote in a terse, figurative or obscure style. Second, he also deliberatly confused the time
sequence of the Prophecies so that their secrets would not be revealed to all.
How accurate was he? Some unfullfilled prophecies contain specific dates where
nothing of the foretold scenes appeared to take place.
Warming up
My son, never employ
sound understanding to vanities and ignorance that dry the body and put the best to
perdition - and trouble the weak senses. My son, knowledge of future things can be had in
two ways: - It comes or "is made clear by the imagination drawn into attention in
unision with the Lord"
- You can also see the predictable future-adventure in the clean
Sky (horoscope) of your birth.
Excerpts from the preface by Michel de Notredame to his prophecies
Your late arrival ... my son, has made me spend much time in constant nightly reflection so
that I could communicate with you by letter and leave you this reminder, after my death, for
the benefit of all men, of which the divine spirit has vouchsafed me to know by means of
astronomy.
The key to the hidden prediction which you will inherit will be locked inside my
heart.
Also bear in mind that the events here described have not yet come to pass, and that
all is ruled and governed by the power of Almighty God, inspiring us not by bacchic frenzy
nor by enchantments but by astronomical assurances: predictions have been made through the
inspiration of divine will alone and the spirit of prophecy in particular.
I have wished to remain silent and abandon my work because of the injustice not only
of the present time but also for most of the future.
Bear in mind also our saviour's words: "Do not give anything holy to the dogs, nor
throw pearls in front of swine lest they trample them with their feet and turn on you and
tear you apart." ... The whole work is thus written in a nebulous rather than plainly
prophetic form. So much so that, "You have hidden these things from the wise and the
circumspect, that is from the mighty and the rulers, and you have purified those things for
the small and the poor," and through almighty God's will ...
So much so that persons of future times may be seen in present ones, because God
Almighty has wished to reveal them by means of images, together with various secrets of the
future vouchsafed to orthodox astrology, as was the case in the past ...
... from the divine power of almighty God from whom all bounty proceeds.
God's mysteries are incomprehensible and the power to influence events is bound up
with the great expanse of natural knowledge, having its nearest most immediate origin in
free will ... But bringing about such an indivisible eternity through Herculean efforts,
things are revealed by the planetary movements.
Portents are produced impartially. ...
As to that discernment which can be achieved by the aid of planetary scrutiny, I
should like to tell you this. Eschewing any fantastic imaginings, you may through good
judgement have insight into the future if you keep to the specific names of places that
accord with planetary configurations, and with inspiration places and aspects yield up
hidden properties,
My son, you can easily, despite your young brain, understand that events can be
foretold naturally by the heavenly bodies and by the spirit of prophecy:
Books
I have composed books of prophecies, each containing one hundred astronomical
quatrains, which I want to condense somewhat obscurely. The work comprises prophecies from
today to the year 3797.
This may perturb some, when they see such a long timespan, ... these things will be
universally understood ...
There are two principal factors which make up the prophet's intelligence. The first
is when the supernatural light fills and illuminates the person who predicts by astral
science, while the second allows him to prophesy through inspired revelation, which is only
a part of the divine eternity, whereby the prophet comes to assess what his divinatory power
has given him through the grace of God and by a natural gift, namely, that what is foretold
is true and ethereal in origin.
But my son, ... be aware that men of letters shall make grand and usually boastful
claims ... before the worldwide conflagration which is to bring so many catastrophes and
such revolutions that scarcely any lands will not be covered by water, and this will last
until all has perished ... This is why ... the rains will be so diminished and such
abundance of fire and fiery missiles shall fall from the heavens that nothing shall
escape [sic] ...
We are in a republican era, ... and before completing its full cycle, the monarchy
will return, then the Golden Age. Before [it], ... humanity shall several times be so
severely diminished that scarcely anyone shall be found who wishes to take over the lands.
...
Everything is predicted by divine afflatus and thanks to an angelic spirit inspiring
the one prophesying, consecrating his predictions through divine unction.
So come, my son, strive ...
The Lord shall say:
Therefore I shall crush and destroy and show no mercy; and many other circumstances shall
result from floods and continual rain ...
Other forethoughts
My other prophecies, composed at some length, not in a chronological sequence, in prose,
limiting the places and times and exact dates so that future generations will see, while
experiencing these inevitable events, how I have listed others in clearer language, so that
despite their obscurities these things shall be understood: When the time comes for the
removal of ignorance, the matter will be clearer still.
Salon, 1 March 1555
Nostradamus prophesies
The angry, impotent prince ...
Rape and pillage by cocks and Africans. (4)
The minor son of the great and hated prince,
He'll have a great touch of leprosy at the
age of twenty:
His mom will die of grief, very sad and emaciated. (7)
SOME SAY that de Notredame foretold his own death: When his assistant wished him
goodnight on July 1, 1566, de Notredame said,
"You will not find me alive at sunrise."
He was found dead on July 2, 1566.
De Notredame was buried standing upright in the Church of the Cordeliers of Salon.
But much later he was dug up twice, once on purpose and once maliciously.
In 1700, his body was moved by the city to a more prominent crypt. When a necklace
was found on his skeleton bearing the date '1700', his body was hurriedly buried
again.
During the French Revolution, in 1791, some drunken soldiers broke into his tomb.
The mayor quickly placated the mob by describing how de Notredame had predicted the
revolution, and they replaced the bones in the crypt.
He had perhaps made an advance comment on that one; in Century 9, Quatrain 7:
The man who opens the tomb when it is found
And who does not close it immediately,
Evil will come to him
That no one will be able to prove.
The soldiers who desecrated his tomb for the final time were reputedly ambused on their way
back to base and killed to the last man.
