FORECASTING FUTURE WITH INTERPRETATION.

1. Did he forecast the Future ? You have
to visualize the interpretation!
b. Dec. 14, 1503, d. July 2, 1566
Four liners to be interpreted suitably to make sense.
Consider an event; Check whether he forecasted it. For
disasters forecasted, was a mitigation response feasible?
Did he show in what
direction
future
events incline?

2. o In the 450 years since Nostradamus penned his
prophecies, he is appreciated for the accuracy of his
prognostications.
o Despite the worldwide acclaim of his prophecies since the
Middle Ages up through the modern era, there has also
existed a vocal group of Nostradamus detractors who
adamantly refuse to concede that he accurately predicted
the future.
o They believe that he was a fraud that was devoid of any
supernatural influence. He was a time traveler who wrote
and earned a living through his astrology also.

3. 3
o It is rare for a book to speak to successive generations
about their world, across national borders, languages,
and cultural or political divides.
o The Bible has had such an afterlife, even if many
religions dismiss it entirely.
o The plays of Shakespeare have had one as well.
o And so have Nostradamus’s Prophecies, a remarkable
feat for a work that was written in Old French and
obtained little religious or literary recognition in its time
and afterward. Were the Quatrains based on
extrasensory experience or precognitive information?

4. Understand Nostradamus well; he wrote:
 The knowledge of this matter can yet impress
itself upon human mind.
 Very distant events are within the knowledge of
reasoning man.
 Future events are merely the creation of the
intellectual soul out of current events;
 hence they are not hidden from man and they
can not be said to be revealed at all.
 [Law of Karma, Foresee cyclic natural events] 4

5. 5
o Prophecy is a warning of the dangers ahead. The dangers
can be mitigated by the actions we take in the “present now.”
By acts of love, compassion and caring, and by putting
service to others first in our lives, we can deflect the
collisions ahead.
o And if we know about the future events to take place, we
can prepare for them both physically and mentally.
o In the history of prophecy we find outstanding failures and
outstanding successes. The very best prophets, such as
Nostradamus, address only the predetermined events.
o The manner in which these predetermined events fit into our
future depends on us.

6. But the perfect knowledge of events can be acquired
with divine inspiration since all prophetic inspiration
receives its prime motivating force from
• God the Creator, then from
• good fortune and nature.
• For this reason, the presage occurs in part, where
it has been predicted, in proportion to the extent to
which similar events have manifested themselves
similarly or have failed to manifest themselves.
6

7. For the human intellectual understanding, can see
hidden things aided by
• the voice coming from the limbo via the thin flame
[focused mind]; showing in what direction future
events incline. (Historian vs Forecaster?)
• A prophet, is one who sees distant things
through a natural knowledge of all creatures.
• Nostradamus would not assume the name or
power of a prophet. (scientific forecaster?)
7

8. • “Revealing in writing that which the Divine Spirit has
made known, through the revolutions of the stars, to
the common benefit of mankind”
• Events of human origin are uncertain, but all is
regulated and governed by the incalculable power of
God, inspiring us through the influences of the stars.
• Only those divinely inspired can predict particular
things in a prophetic spirit.
8

9. o As the true Saviour said, "Give not that which is holy unto
dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample
them under their feet and turn and rend you."
o This has been the cause of withholding my pen from
paper.
o Later I decided to give way and, by dark and cryptic
sentences, tell of the causes of the future mutation of
mankind;
o especially the most urgent ones, and the ones I perceived,
and in a manner that would not upset their fragile
sentiments.
9

10. • By means of the Immortal God, and his good Angels,
they received the spirit of prophecy, by which they see
distant things and foresee future events.
• For nothing can be accomplished without Him whose
power and goodness to His creatures is so great that
as long as these dwell in them, much as they may be
exposed to other influences, on account of their good
genius this prophetic heat and power approaches us.
• It approaches us like the rays of the sun, which cast
their influence on bodies both elementary and non-
elementary.

11. It is manifested chiefly by two means:
1) One comes by infusion: clearing the supernatural light
for the person who predicts by Astrology; making it possible
to predict through inspired revelation. 2) The other is a
fixed participation of the Divine eternity: By means of
it, the prophet comes to judge what has been given him by his
divine spirit through God the Creator and his natural intuition.
If things were dismal in the sixteenth century, Nostradamus
seemed to say, it was because so many people were
transgressing divine commandments, human laws, and moral
norms. 11

12. o So that what is predicted, and is true, has an ethereal
origin. This light and the contemplation are altogether
efficacious, and are of heavenly origin no less than
natural light.
o And it is the latter (natural light?) which renders
philosophers so sure of themselves that by means of
the principles of the first cause they have penetrated to
the innermost cores of the loftiest of doctrines.
o With divine inspiration and astrological computations,
one can name places and periods of time accurately:
12

13. o An occult property is obtained through divine virtue, power
and ability.
o Thus, past, present and future become but one eternity.
o Understand that the future can be prophesied by the lights
of the sky at night, which are natural, coupled with the
spirit of prophecy.
o Nostradamus does not have the power of a (biblical)
prophet.
o It is as a mortal man, whose senses revealed
inspiration places no further from Heaven than his feet
are from the ground.
13

14. • The sword of death is approaching us, as pestilence, war,
and famine. This famine returns to earth, often, according
to the words, "I will visit their iniquities with a rod of iron,
and will strike them with blows."
• For the mercy of the Lord, shall not be extended for a
long time, not until prophecies will have become
resolved, by accomplishment . Then, several times during
the sinister storms, the Lord will say, "I will trample them,
and break them, and not show pity." 14

15. o By using cryptic language, Nostradamus claimed
to conceal his foreknowledge from the arrogant
rulers of the earth. (Inquisition?)
o He would reveal it to humble messengers of God
who would study his writings for love of humanity.
o In walking this tightrope of his prophetic
responsibility, Nostradamus could only partially
rely on his linguistic skill to obscure the true
meaning of his prophecies from most but not all
people. 15

16. o Nostradamus explains that he had to rely on his
faith that God would only reveal crucial facts
about future events to messengers who would
not use the information to humanity's detriment.
o Nostradamus cloaked his valuable prophetic
insights because he was acutely aware that he
was charged with this responsibility to warn
humanity about future calamity without effecting
humanity's future.
16

17. Regardless of the causes of his
prophetic inaccuracies, when his
failures are regarded together with
his successes Nostradamus
undoubtedly stands the test of time
as a true ‘prophet’ or a topic for
research. He also entertains the
sceptics.
17

18. 18
o Nostradamus used quatrains—a poetic genre that imparted moral
precepts—to convey a message of his own and point all readers
toward an ethical, virtuous plane in which justice and duty resided
above rank and privilege.
o Princes could deflect forthcoming travails by upholding such justice.
o As for common folk, their ignorance and savagery were all too obvious.
They, too, could succumb to passions and violence.
o Nostradamus did not hold warmer feelings for the rabble than others
from his milieu. But God-fearing human beings could have a dignity of
their own.
o Oppression of the populace sowed bitterness and launched new
cycles of violence. On a deeper level, it offended equity. Given his
dealings with the meek and the powerful, Nostradamus could speak to
both.

19.  Nostradamus predicted the happenings during a specific
timeframe, five hundred years into his future involving
people not yet born in his lifetime.
 Nostradamus‘ clearest predictions would be virtually
impossible to guess in a single chance.
 For example, he clearly predicted that England, a minor
naval power in his day, would have a sea-based empire
that would be the most powerful in the world for three
hundred years.
 From the mid-seventeenth century to the mid-twentieth
century England did have this empire.

20. "The blood of the just will be demanded of London
Burnt by fire in the year '66
The ancient Lady will fall from her high place
And many of the same sect will be killed."
What happened: The small fire that started in the bakery of
Thomas Farriner on Pudding Lane in London, 1666 (in the
year '66) turned into a three day blaze. The “ancient dame”
in the third line referred to St. Paul’s. The members of the
same sect may refer to warring churches.
20

21. • 10q100 - A great empire
will be for England,
• The all-powerful one
through the sea for
more than 300 years:
• Great forces will pass
by land and sea,
• The Portuguese will not
be satisfied.
• England became a
sea-based empire that
displaced other's,
including Portugal, and
made England the
world's most dominant
sea-based power
21

22. • “From the enslaved populace, songs,
• Chants and demands
• While princes and lords are held captive in prisons.
• These will in the future by headless idiots
• Be received as divine prayers.”
• In 1789, the French people decided they’d had enough of poor
aristocratic rule and revolted.
• The peasants (enslaved populace) took control of Paris and
forced their demands on royalty.
• The aristocracy (princes and lords) were taken from power were
locked in the Bastille (prisons) and beheaded at the guillotine
(headless idiots).
22

23. referring to Adolf Hitler?.
Out of the deepest part of the west of Europe,
From poor people a young child shall be born,
Who with his tongue shall seduce many people,
His fame shall increase in the Eastern Kingdom
o He shall come to tyrannize the land.
He shall raise up a hatred that had long been dormant.
The child of Germany observes no law.
Cries, and tears, fire, blood, and battle.
o A captain of Germany shall come to yield himself by false hope,
So that his revolt shall cause great bloodshed.
23

24. Collapse of USSR:
[IV.32] In those times and places that meat gives way to fish the
law of commune will be opposed. The old order will hold strong,
then removed from the scene, then all things common among
friends put far behind. [This was not foreseen before 1990]
During the early 1990s in USSR & satellites (in those times
and places), when the economic condition in these countries
deteriorated (meat gave way to fish), Communism (the law of
commune) was opposed by the people. The old leaders were
removed from powers. Ultimately Communism (all things
common among friends - equality among comrades) collapsed.
24

25. • Description of the 9/11 attack: Whodonit? ‘Bushama’?
• Assault on "the New City", the great New York City.
• The targets of this attack are the towers of the New City,
the Twin Towers, located in the world's preeminent "New
City".
• Nostradamus notes that the Twin Towers shake from this
attack, and later the Towers collapse.
25

26. 26
o ‘Bushama’ Bin Laden used the 9/11 attack to provoke an
American administration led by two Texas oil millionaires
devoted to the interests of Big Oil.
o The 9/11 attack instigated the Bush Administration to
launch a military crusade to secure the Middle East's
underground oil reserves (from the center of the earth).
o This oil fuels the modern combustion (fire) economy that
shakes the earth with trillions of combustion engine micro-
explosions every day. America's two foremost oil
millionaires attempted to secure this fiery earth shaking

energy source by using the earth-shaking fire of America's
military colossus.
The result of the 9/11 attack was a fiery, earth-shaking
American world war to control the world's oil supplies.
The two rocks of the Twin Towers have been the symbol of
America's tireless pursuit of economic world domination that
has for a long time made war across the world.
The term "two rocks" can refer to the two Cold War
superpowers.
The name "Arethusa" nominally refers to a classical Greek
goddess; ….continued

28. 28
Arethusa detested love, qualifying her as a hate-filled entity
like the Al Qaeda empire. One fateful day Arethusa met a
god-like entity (US Govt.) that became obsessed with her.
Arethusa fled and hid from the god-like entity that earnestly
pursued her, much as Al Qaeda flees and hides from the
superpower America that earnestly pursues these killers.
Rearranging the letters of the name "Arethusa" and
substituting one letter, "h", with "m", as permitted by
Nostradamus' system of anagrams, reveals "Usama tre" or
"Usama the third“!. The third antichrist!

29. 29
o A type of out of body experience whereby he was led into a
state of timelessness where the future could be seen.
o If one can travel through time, then what is the nature of
time?
o Esoteric thought holds there is no actual division of time into
past, present and future – that all exists in the eternal “now”
and “time” itself is a grand illusion.
o If that is so, does the future already exist?
o Are future events predetermined?
o Is the future pliable to causes in the “present now” which
may produce a change to the events in the future?

30. 30
o Nostradamus the man was sandwiched between the
astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus and the philosopher
Giordano Bruno.
o The former placed the sun rather than the Earth at the
center of the universe;
o the latter imagined that the universe could contain an
infinite number of worlds that were similar to the earth.
o Both contributed to the process by which the notion of a
closed, religious world faded behind a boundless and
eventually godless cosmos.
