Nostradamus: Impact on the 21st Century;

by Allan Webber and 2 more.

................................................................................................

If one expects, naively, that this is a work detailing marvelous prophecies or predictions which have since come true, by someone who lived and wrote them a few centuries ago, one must be disappointed - not because that hasn't happened, but because this work isn't about that at all.

Rather, it's about how the author didn't believe any of it, was proved wrong, and details of his plodding through.

Much of the work is describing and justifying the author doing this at all in the first place.

Unlike most other works that seek to interpret works of Nostradamus and his prophecies, this work doesn't deal with future of world in terms of personalities or various civilisations rising or otherwise, but rather sticks to one theme - that related to a series of cataclysmic that the author claims are inherent in work of Nostradamus, seen only via anagrams - in English language, even though the original work is in French.

And, apart from typos and punctuation mistakes, language isn't very good either, despite a verbosity.

What's more, index or table of contents omits listing chapter titles 32 and 33, namely

Nostradamus ‘ interest in modern medicine

And

Nostradamus on biological weapons used in the 21stC wars of attrition

So editors weren't good.

Some part is straight.

"I find that so many deluges and such deep floods shall befall the world before the universal conflagration that there shall not be scarcely any land.........

".......Also, both before and after these floods, the rains in many countries shall be so slight, and there will be so much fire and white-hot rock shall fall from the sky, that nothing shall remain that is not consumed. And all this is to occur, in a brief period before the final conflagration.

"Nostradamus Preface 1555 (CPE7)"

Author wastes so much space, energy and verbiage talking about himself, it's unclear if it's due to ego, stupidity or both.

"In 1970 after having read Erika Cheetham's book ‘The Prophecies of Nostradamus’ I made a choice that went against all that I had previously done. The choice was to investigate the unlikely case that Nostradamus could actually see into the future. There has been no other person with claims to be a prophet that has ever aroused my interest. I am not given to belief in the supernatural whether it involves religion, science or secular based ideas. However, in 1970, faced with his actual writings I felt there was a case to answer since it seemed that on too many occasions his words were uncannily close to real events. At that time I could easily retain my cynicism for I was looking for the means, both fair and foul, to explain how these writings could seem to be true."

And that's where there's a little more on the actual topic of this work.

"Over the years that followed I noted that, despite the claims of other cynics, various events came about very much as anticipated from interpreters of Nostradamus' work, one of the most spectacular of which was that involving the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1989, a year before it happened I remember observing that this looked like a spectacular failure for there was nothing in the press of the day that foresaw the ending of the Soviet system before the year 2000. My reason for making the foregoing comment was that there were strong claims by interpreters of Nostradamus' work that showed he foresaw the rise of Communist Russia and its fall before the end of the last century. It hadn't happened and with eleven years to go no one anywhere in the world was seriously predicting its fall. But even when this event took place I remained a sceptic because so many analysts used techniques that did their cause little justice.

"The basis for that scepticism lay in the lack of eternal evidence. Yet it niggled at me that the analysts of Nostradamus had talked about this type of end and found verses before it happened that they said related to the rise and fall of communism before 2000CE. The break up of the Soviet Empire flagged by the fall of the Berlin Wall was a test I had expected the analysts’ versions to fail."

Is this part of an elaborate strategy of dust storm, to veil the fact that US had something more than a bit to do with breaking down USSR, even if it wasn't communism that was defeated anywhere, even in USSR, much less in China, where a communist regime makes cheap exports to US markets possible.

" ... Nicene in this verse should be applied to Nicea, Turkey, the place where the Nicene Creed was crafted. The Nicene Creed was designed to target exactly the heresies embodied in Lutheran, Calvinistic and Nestorian tenets. And Nicea is in the Near-East, the region in which Edessa and Armenia are located.

"It is a fact of history that the Protestant religions have played prominent roles in this region and it is from these past alliances that credibility emerges for a future alliance. But now it is time to look more closely at verses that relate to Hungar, the modern nation wher Budapest is located."

The author must be German.

................................................................................................

"If Nostradamus could see the future then he was not only capable of encoding it in a modern language but must do so. You can't as a 16th century person properly talk about our modern world without a new language covering technological breakthrough and scientific discovery.

"I didn't believe Nostradamus had seen the future in this way but I realized it was bad science to analyse Nostradamus' work with a premise that he couldn't see the future when that was the proposition being questioned. Rather I had to assume he could prophesy and then design tests based on the full gamut of possibilities that had the potential to disprove them. In so doing it should have been very easy to disprove that he used English as his basis for code. It would be disproven if his hidden messages made greatest sense in his native tongue or there was no distinction between languages."

That has been put in rather a convoluted language, for obvious but veiled reason.

Europe in particular and West in general has suffered inquisition, which left a lasting impact, and subconscious horror that isn't possible to overcome without freeing one's whole psyche, not just superficially but completely, from the grip of an upbringing that's still imprinted in molds of church focttines.

Moreover, Renaissance imposed quite an opposite constraint, that of assertion of disbelief in things not provable by logic or experienced by senses.

................................................................................................

"The analyses arose out of my scepticism, a scepticism that many would consider at odds with the efforts I have put into my Nostradamus research.

"At the time I had seen no convincing evidence that any living person could see into the future or is psychic and that is still true today. If such effects were possible then in this populous world there should be some evidence that did not wilt when placed under scrutiny. Instead there is only folk wisdom that relies on its delicate nature to explain its inability to be confirmed. Yet if there was really any living person with such insight they would be the subject of great respect especially in the fields of investment and military adventurism."

And there's the naive blabber of someone who, brought up in the said upbringing with church monopoly over everything not covered by materialistic stringent thinking, expects that abilities in prophetic prowess are no different from those in, say, sports, demonstrable on demand.

................................................................................................

"Nostradamus’ Preface to his Prophecies in 1555 is a disturbing piece of work because it uses words that have no meaning, it presents astronomy that fits no known pattern and it contains numerations that have no context. In interpreting these writings analysts cannot find any fundamentals underpinning Nostradamus’ words and they then often hypothesize that the author made errors which they know how to fix. However reason tells us that this is improbable. The documents presented by Nostradamus are centre-pieces, not peripheral writings and they were constructed over periods of many months. Although Nostradamus used classical allusion and had good reasons to conceal much of his thoughts he didn’t need to make things so obscure that they couldn’t ever be understood. The amount of purposeful effort involved tells us that these writings are meant to tell us something much more meaningful when we understand their enigmas."

""For now that the planet Mars is perfectly completing its cycle, and is at the end of its most recent period, so it shall take it up again - but with some grouped in Aquarius for several years, and others grouped in Cancer for longer and more continuous periods. And - given that we are now conducted by the moon thanks to the omnipotence of God eternal, before it has perfected its full circuit, the sun shall come and then Saturn.

"For according to the signs in the sky the reign of Saturn shall return, as everyone calculated. The world is approaching, an anaragonic revolution and from the present I write here that before a hundred and seventy seven years three months plus eleven days there will be pestilence, long famine, and wars. And by worldwide floods between here and the term I have fore-stated, and before and after it by several times, will [the world] be so diminished, and so few people will there be found that want to take to the fields which will become free for as long as their prior owners have held them.

"And with respect to this celestial judgement which is still seen, we are in the seventh number of the millennium that perfects it all and we are approaching the eighth, where is located the firmament of the eighth sphere and which has a latitudinal dimension. This is where the great Eternal God will come to perfect the revolution whereby celestial images will return to their [usual] moves and this upper movement makes the land stable and firm non inclinabitur in saeculum saeculi (Latin: not ever moving). To offset this his will must be accomplished but not otherwise,"

"Nostradamus' Preface to Cesar 1555 (PCE9)"

................................................................................................

"The start to understanding the meaning of the above lies in a word Nostradamus repeats. In the original French version the word paracheve is used twice and its literal meaning is to make perfect. This usage helps make sense of the above passage. This emphasis on perfection is very critical because it identifies a special planetary relationship.

"When each planet completes one revolution its relationship to the other planets and the stars always changes. However it is possible to find a time when two or more planets are very close to the same positions in the sky. When this occurs at almost the same time in the year we are able to use that period to our advantage. The Metonic cycle is one of ancient note that allows the date of eclipses of Sun and Moon to be predicted since the sequence remains close to nineteen years apart. I believe it is this repetition of pattern that Nostradamus calls perfection. But some cycles are more perfect than others.

"This idea of a repeated-cycle in the above quote now tells us what planet relationships to examine first because the passage highlights the perfect cycles Mars makes with different planets.

................................................................................................

"Repeatedly the planet Mars perfects its cycle and at the end of its last period it shall be taken up again (from second paragraph).

"The claim on Mars as the reference planet is boosted by a period specified in another statement found in the 3rd paragraph from Nostradamus’ Preface . It says;

"before 177 years and 3 months and eleven days.

"Now this period given in a single unit of time equals 177.28 yrs. If this period is divided by the period of Mars (2.1352 yrs) the number of cycles Mars makes during that time equals 83.027 which is quite close to 83 cycles. This means Mars is within nine degrees of where it was at the start of the period.

"If the same is done with the period of Jupiter (11.86179 yrs) we find it has performed 14.945 cycles and that Saturn whose period is 29.45660 has performed 6.018 cycles. Here we have the three planets at the end being in much the same positions as they were at the beginning. It is easy to see why such a period can be referred to as a perfection point. However, the meeting in this instance is at a different point in the sky as the period involves a part of a year (3 months and 11 days). It is not a totally perfect cycle but it is a clue from Nostradamus that we should seek a period that is closer to perfection.

................................................................................................

"This idea of a perfect cycle also emerges where Nostradamus says “And now that we are led by the moon, since the total strength of God Eternal comes from those which perfect the total circuit, the Sun comes and then Saturn.”

"It is likely that Nostradamus is talking about the Metonic cycle and implying that he deduced a perfect cycle involving the Moon, Jupiter (=Jove = Eternal God) the Sun and Saturn. As Mars has just been established as the focal point it too is involved. There is a period that meets all these criteria and it is 854 years long. The number of cycles each unit makes in that time is shown below in brackets with the more precise figure for each being shown in the right-hand column.

"Sun (854): 854.0 cycles

"Mars (400): 399.96 cycles

"Jupiter (72): 71.996 cycles

"Saturn (29): 28.992 cycles

"Metonic (Sun & Moon: 45 ): 44.94 cycles"

"Now precession of the poles takes about 25,765 years and this means the position of the background stars has moved almost exactly 12 degrees in 854 years. This is about 40% of one zodiac sign so these planets, the time of year and the nearby stars are little changed over that 854 year period.

"By this means we can see that 854 years provides a near-perfect time unit for locating the Sun, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn from the records of astronomy. The wording of Nostradamus justifies each of my observations and it becomes apparent these are precise astronomic tools and not a set of rambling astrologic incantations."

That last bit exposes this author as prejudiced ignoramus more than anything else.

................................................................................................

"In the current era Polaris is currently the most mobile constellation of the so-called fixed stars. It is changing its ascension and declination angles rapidly as it moves towards its closest point to the north celestial pole. And this motion justifies the title given in the visible words of the third line of the second verse which says “The mobile sign thus moves into its place”. The rightful place for a star called Polaris is to be as close to the pole as possible so this text offers all the attributes of Polaris.

"March 2105 CE Polaris will be at its closest point to the spot where the imaginary north celestial pole's rune-like-sign (N) is placed. This occurs around Easter and it signifies the end of Polaris' ascent to the pole. It will be over 25000 years before it will once again be as close to the pole. March 2105 CE therefore represents one of the rare moments in astronomic history since it ushers in a Great Mutation of the cycles of the skies. It is an appropriate symbol to set the date for Nostradamus’ great mutations.

................................................................................................

"And these verses also contain the other astronomic setting that is required to mark out the duration of such [great] mutations. It lies in the conjunctions that are nominated by Nostradamus in C.1 Q.51 (above). Of the infrequent occasions when Saturn and Jupiter have been close together in Aries the celestial events of 2000 CE are the most noteworthy. On the 30th of April 2000CE the sun was in close alignment with Polaris while Venus and Mercury were in close alignment with the stars at the head of Aries and Jupiter and Saturn were in close alignment with the stars at the tail (see image at start). And all of this was calculable by a good astronomer in the 16th C.

"The 30th April 2000 CE was Easter while at Easter in the year 2100 CE Jupiter and Saturn will be aligned with the declinations of Polaris. This date setting fulfils the text of verse C.1 Q.54 in which it is stated there are two changing revolutions separated by a century. The first revolution is the roll-over millenniall event that took place in 2000 and the second is the changing role of the Pole star in 2100 as it approaches its turning point of its distance from the Pole. By this means Nostradamus sets his clock to 2000CE and 2100CE and the Polar turning in 2105CE."

................................................................................................

"The three great themes of Nostradamus involve forces that lie outside man's control. These forces are natural parts of the Cosmos (or God?), the Earth's stabilizing systems and the supremacy of changing evolutionary patterns over currently entrenched schemata.

"One of his mutations manifests itself through chemical and nuclear mechanisms linked to fire from the sky while the second occurs via adjustments to the environmental settings of the earth as they become imbalanced by the ascendancy of mankind.

"Another of the more dramatic claims by Nostradamus is that as a result of mankind’s profligacy and decadence there will be floods on a scale to equal those of ancient legends.

"And there is a further force for fundamental mutation which involves war, in particular religious war. ... "

Here, author asserts his own heritage of a colonial conquistadore predatory mindset and inherence, by justifying religious wars as evolution, in that last statement.

Whereas, in reality, ancient India was evolved far ahead of the latter invaders who, after Alexander, were barbarians, and blind fanatic hordes of religious bigots.

................................................................................................

"But the intellectual powers granted to mankind via evolution led to institutions, a technology essential for the growth of man. It is these powers and the ability to create supporting institutions that gave mankind freedoms leading ever-onwards to modernity."

No, that's faulty analysis based entirely on history of Europe and West Asia, as if no other region matters - which is Macaulay policy in a nutshell, denying all truths and every fact regarding superlative nature, character and achievements of all others, in particular those of India.

"Religions with their cornerstone in faith often hang onto their foundations, denying the enlightening movement of time, they cling so long that a mobile phone can and will destroy them. Ideas and modernity corrode the unity of religion. Ideas leave behind those for whom the past is the only truth while modernity creates those with new beliefs which they falsely think won’t fossilize."

All valid for religions and creeds originated in West Asia and contiguous Europe, but not true of India, where it wasnt based in faith or institutions, but rather on perception of truth, freedom of thought, and a social system that did not put wealth and brute force institutionally at top.

................................................................................................

"In the 16th century Nostradamus was still alive when the gap between science and religion tore the Church apart, the ancient conformity was no longer there, people dared to think independently of their older faiths, to think the present must be addressed. But that emergent rift was how the religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries came about and began to shape new warps of faith."

No, they were due a new abrahmic faith claiming loyalty and more, and territories in name thereof, which made these religious wars - Mongolian invaders had been as far as France before, too, but the wars weren't called religious.

................................................................................................

Author quotes Nostradamus, but with a preceding explanation by him that's so half-baked and wrong, it's not worth quoting.

"“And then there commences between God and men a universal peace, which will last about a thousand years, and in turn this is its great strength, when Ecclesiastic power turns to the astute.”

"Epistle to Henry 1558 (HEE26b)"

................................................................................................

"And all will pay homage to the long-held religions of the regions of Europe north of the 48th parallel but these will be the first to tremble through [their] vain timidity then the western, southern and eastern regions will tremble. But the nature of their power is such that what they have brought about by concord and union will prove to be insuperable by warlike conquests. [These lands are] equal in nature but greatly different in faith. Epistle to Henry 1558 (HEE9a)"

" ... This passage and others not only lead to the idea of sects but identifies the main protagonists in the future war. They do so for the 21st century and the main religious wars affecting France in the centuries since Nostradamus' time. ... "

No, the author, writing and publishing in current era, is obviously ignoring the dinosaur - the jihadists!

It's unclear why.

................................................................................................

"Then there is Centuries I Quatrein 87 which can be understood when placed in the context of an energy battle between nuclear and geothermal energy, two forms of rock usage involving earthshaking fire from the centre of the earth.

"C1 Q87

"Earthshaking fire from the center of the earth

"Will cause tremors around the New City.

"Two great rocks will war for a long time,

"Then Arethusa will redden a new river.

"Ennosigee feu du centre de terre

"Fera trembler au tour de cite neufue

"Deux grands rochiers long teps ferot la guerre

"Puis Arethuse rougira nouueau fleuue"

Shouldn't it be temps, not teps?

"The words in each line take on deeper meaning when placed into a proper context, none more so than 'Two great rocks at war for a long time'. One of the powers of intelligent selection is that the wording can carry several layers of meaning. It is this aspect that has given Nostradamus’ Prophcies their longevity."

................................................................................................

"The story that this identifies is also linked to Susa and the Elamites by the later occupation of Susa by Alexander the Great. But each incident involves a series of acts of revenge where the destruction of towers plays a symbolic role together with a form of chemical destruction. This motivation is most eloquently put by the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal who in 647 BCE levelled the city. A tablet unearthed in 1854 by Austen Layard reveals Ashurbanipal as an "avenger", seeking retribution for the humiliations the Elamites had inflicted on the Mesopotamians over the centuries. And it is this allusory connection that tells us what this future war will be about and why it goes so wrong. The tablet of Ashurbanipal says

""Susa, the great holy city, abode of their gods, seat of their mysteries, I conquered. I entered its palaces, I opened their treasuries where silver and gold, goods and wealth were amassed I destroyed the ziggurat of Susa. I smashed its shining copper horns. I reduced the temples of Elam to naught; their gods and goddesses I scattered to the winds. The tombs of their ancient and recent kings I devastated, I exposed to the sun, and I carried away their bones toward the land of Ashur. I devastated the provinces of Elam and on their lands I sowed salt.""

"Who can blame a people exposed to horrors by an invader if they seek revenge and retaliation no matter how long it takes for the opportunity to arise? ... "

Then no Russian can be blamed for anything at all, anything whatsoever, that was perpetrated in Germany in or after 1945, can one?

................................................................................................

And here's another assertion from the author that, again, speaks of his inheritance of an ethos of invading and colonial subjugation of others.

" ... Human ambition and revenge create too great a barrier for prophecy to move aside."

................................................................................................

Here's another assertion that shows a bias, this time against Russia.

" ... The cancerous effects of this disaster are still exacting a lasting toll in Belarus and Ukraine."

But Russia is only a hundred miles away from Chernobyl at the three nation corner point.

Is it author's assertion that there's no effect, it stops just at the border of Russia, miraculously?

................................................................................................

"They talk of a place that carries a stony core hidden inside its stomach. Chernobyl’s problematic past and future are tied to the way the nuclear melt down was handled. The radioactive core was not shut down it was sealed in concrete and the premises covered by a prohibitive shelter.

"C5 Q35 L.1 and L.2

"The free city of the great Crescent sea,

"which still carries the stone in its stomach,"

But Chernobyl is not on sea, nor anything to do with any crescent.

So is the author attempting to deflect attention from the obvious?

"The tones of the above verse are unmistakable; events at Geneva involving transformations of metals threaten the local population. This tone is both confirmed and amplified by the content hidden in its anagrams."

................................................................................................

"C6 Q81

"Tears, cries and laments, howls, terror

"Heart inhuman, cruel, black and chilly:

"Lake of Geneva the Isles of Gennes mainly affected,

"Blood to pour out, ‘frofaim’, mercy to none.

"Pleurs, crys et plaincts, hurlement effraieur

"Coeur inhumain, cruel. noir, et tranSy

"Leman les iSles de Gennes les maieurs

"Sang eSpancher, frofaim a nul mercy"

"It seems there is a disaster that lies ahead for Geneva but although it is on a large scale it isn’t world shattering. The third line of C6 Q81 and other verses can be considered as defining the region of greatest impact and they describe a triangle based on Lake Leman stretching 115km northwards up to Gennes just east of Besancon and then 65km across and up to L’ Isle sur le Doubs which is just south of Belfort and about 170km from Geneva.

"The nature of the catastrophe that affects this region is contained in the third line of the previous verse which holds an unfamiliar word RAYPOZ that Nostradamus capitalized. To some this may evoke an image of a ray formed from positrons yet such a device was not functioning in 2021 and yet one is scheduled to start operating in the mid 2020s. That line holds a further message that fits to the nature of scientific research near Geneva in the 21st C."

................................................................................................

"Line one of C6 Q81 contains anagrams that hint at the relation between the two verses. It says affire planetic element hurts (et_plainc ts_hur lemente) and the material named offers an adequate reason for the distress at Geneva; the planetic element is uranium which gets name from a Greek God. Uranus is the seventh planet of our solar system and it was discovered more than 220 years after Nostradamus death (1781CE). However Uranus has been used from ancient times as the name of a Greek god so it was a name he would have known. Uranus or Father Sky was the son and husband of Gaia, the primordial Earth Mother."

"Now there are three planetic elements namely neptunium, plutonium and uranium all of which are capable of hurting since each is radioactive but the meaning of the second line of this same verse implies the element meant is uranium."

"The anagrams electron ray experimentorz found in C.IX Q.44 line 3 give the verse a credibility that makes it worth examining the other anagrams that occur within it. The same line holds an anagram of exterminator that has its only occurrence here.

"Similarly in line 4 there are are several anagrams that are complex and occur infrequently in the text and which seem to bear upon the themes so far revealed. It holds anagrams for farseeing Intellectualliser (laruentlecielSi ignesfera), Intelligences (ntlecie Signe ) and a natural Area (era_A uant_la_r). Their existence leaves an impression that a professional thinker such as a scientist is involved. These give a frame to the events that other verses flesh out.

"The first line of the verse which begins with ‘migres migre’ provides a particularly hard set of letters in which to find anagrams. There is however one powerful set that emerges and it fits with the tone of the aftermaths of mutation mentioned above. These letters form ‘grim regimes (migr esmigre)’ two words that are fairly unique to this verse. There is only this anagram of regimes in the whole text and the only other anagram of grim occurs in C4 Q94 which is another of the verses that mentions Lake Leman. But the lettering also allows the following anagrams to be created ‘Moistures germs (res_tous_Mi gres_m)’ , ‘degree Ensue (re_de_ge neSue)’. The anagrams for germs and moisture/s are also rare but it is in the other verses containing them that more confirmatory detail can be found.

................................................................................................

"THE DATE FOR THE RAYPOZ EVENTS AT GENEVA.

"The first verse used in this chapter mentions Lac Leman, the unifying cipher for the events at Geneva. In other chapters I have illustrated how several themes flow across the verses and C1 Q47 is one in this Geneva theme that does so. It is from anagrams it contained such as Nostradame (ats_damnero ) Star images (se_magi Stra) in the last line that I began the trail of dating the great mutations. I then showed that he used the pole star movements to define the period of the vast mutations that are his concern. The primary period of his interest is from the year 2000 to the year 2100.

"Interestingly the year 2000 marks the end of the L-E.P collider based near Geneva and the commencement of the Large Hadron collider. To me it seems highly significant that these verses not only involve the mainstays of the dating system but that each holds the same theme, the history of particle physics at Lake Leman.

"The pole star theme is interwoven into this tale of Geneva and the date link can be seen clearly in the second line of C6 Q81 where the anagram for Cynosurae (anSy_Coeur) is once again found wrapped around the end of the line. Now Cynosurae, like Ursae Minoris which only occurs in C1 Q10, is another name for the current pole star. And C1 Q10 was presented earlier as a key-stone verse for dating the mutations and establishing the foundations of the story lines."

................................................................................................

"We can reasonably conclude from the Pole star reference that these events lie in the period defined by the cluster of verses involving Polaris in which there is a great clustering of the planets in Aries.

"Another series of conjunctions involving each of the planets occurs late in the year 2100CE. These are the sorts of signs from the sky that Nostradamus is referring to in the verse above and others in this Geneva sequence. So in this instance the alignment with Polaris refers to Saturn since we have in the second and fourth lines of C9 Q44 the following

"C9 Q44 line 2.

"Saturn from gold to iron will be changed

"C9 Q44 line 4.

"before it has started the sky will show signs"

"This is likely to be Nostradamus’ way of nominating a particular date in a particular ten year period. The metals gold and iron are traditionally associated with the zodiac signs of Leo and Scorpio respectively and Saturn occupies any sign for about thirty months. These two regions of the sky are separated by two other signs and so to change from Leo to Scorpio takes about ten years. There are four periods when this setting applies in the years from 2000CE to 2100CE. The first decade commences in 2006CE and is followed by 2036CE, 2065CE and 2095CE but only in one of these does the sky show signs in the preceding period. This is 2065CE.

"Although each of these periods is preceded by a date less than five years earlier at which our reference stars, Saturn and Polaris, are in alignment it is only on the 8th April 2060 that there are significant other signs showing at the same point in the sky. This type of scheme was used for dating the century of mutation and hence is the most likely indicator for this astronomic refrence. On the 3rd of May 2060CE Saturn will align exactly with the Pole Star and the two other planets, with Mars and Jupiter still near enough to be considered to be in conjunction.

"So from the above we can deduce that the date of these Geneva based events most likely takes place close to the year 2065CE."

................................................................................................

It's unclear if there's more than mere prejudice from the author in the description and adjectives here, rooted in struggle between a post Renaissance culture of West still not quite having overcome the subconscious horror of inquisition that instilled a habitual clubbing of everything not worshipped in church as evil.

"There is considerable evidence that Apep, the Serpent God had special meaning to Nostradamus as a symbol of comets and other objects falling from the sky. But his interest went beyond the objects to the stories and beliefs the ancients told. In taking this approach he gave them personality and and made them an integral part of his life and mission.

"Apep, Aapep, Apepi (Egyptian) or Apophis (Coptic Greek) was an evil god in Egyptian mythology, the deification of darkness and chaos and thus the opponent of light and order/truth, whose existence was believed in from the 8th Dynasty onwards. As the personification of all that was evil, Apep was seen as a giant snake, serpent or dragon, leading to such titles as Serpent from the Nile and Evil Lizard."

It's unclear if the said deity was seen or branded as evil by Egypt, too, or only by abrahmics.

"Apep has his equivalent in the Judaic, Mohammedan, Christian tradition of Lucifer who is the contra-indicator to the Sun."

That's all abrahmic creeds, and so it's unclear if the equivalence is real, any more than the perception of Apophis as evil is so.

................................................................................................

"One of the distinctive terms repeatedly used by Nostradamus in his Prophecies is du ciel frappe meaning struck from the sky. I believe this phrase is a cipher containing its relevance in the anagrams hidden in it.

"From it emerges Lucifer-Apep (u_ciel_fr appe) as an adjacent set of anagrams that directs our attention to the celestial body Apophis in its manifestations as asteroids, meteorites or comets and as fire from the sky. The twin naming (Lucifer and Apep) can clearly be linked to Apophis from our knowledge of the alternate names for the evil gods. But there is another aspect and it is that Apep is seen by ancient Egyptians as a snake and the word frappe meaning strike can easily be seen as applicable to that animal. Moreover Nostradamus introduces the word frappe into a total of twelve verses and of these many cover the series of verses about fire striking from the sky."

Notice the unnecessary repetitive abuse, so a reader has it hammered in, that this deity worshipped by Egypt must be abhorred by all, as per diktats by abrahmic creeds?

And such diktats are common about everything not explicitly worshipped by abrahmic creeds, imposed by colonial subjugation.

" ... At the turn of the next century we have the great rotation of celestial signs as the pole star gets closest to the North Pole and then begins to move away. This physical reality gives relevance to Nostradamus’ writings about the gathering of the planets at the time the polar sign reaches its apex. ... "

" ... The mythology of the Slavic lands such as Siberia, Croatia and Montenegro associated their highest god, Perun, with thunder and lightning as well as the oak tree and a sky of stone all of which is contained in Beneath the oak tree of Guien struck from the sky.

"We already have reason to note this verse’s reliance on mythology so the first line of the verse raises the possibility that the place where this happens is on the eastern lands alongside the Adriatic Sea. This is consistent with an allusory reference system that underpins the decoding clues. It is a gazeteer which by presenting a series of small, practical, local details identify time and place.

"This same theme arises constantly in Nostradamus’ hidden messages and manifests itself as a tradition of Southern France whereby Christ's lineage was believed to be present in the Merovingian kings.

"In this instance the split anagram only occurs here and it is the prophet's real name Michel Nostredame, the name under which Nostradamus grew up. It appears as ENDREAxxxxxxTCOMMISLHE. Immediately to the left of the first section of this name is a whole anagram of Story (t_Soy_r) which is one of ten occurrences in the prophecies. There is also an anagram for carried (dre_a_cri). And the story of Michel de Nostredame that is carried relates to Comets (eSt_com) which is also part of this line.

"There are other anagrams all of which form a tight cluster of ideas and they include Esoteric (ier_eSt_oc) Layouts render (ault_Soy rendre). So we end up with a message along the line of Esoteric Layouts render Comets Michel Nostredame Story carried with the additional part being an affirmation of the use of the split name. These words occur between 1 and 10 times each in the prophecies with most being very rare. Together they present a picture that is often used by commentators to describe part of Nostradamus’ work. All this makes Nostradamus’ use of the split anagram for his own name worthy of inclusion. And the device of splitting his own name is necessary for him since his name is what code experts would look for and he wanted to thwart."

"One whom neither plague nor steel knew how to finish

"Death on the summit of those hills struck from the sky

"The abbot will die when he will see ruined

"Those who are shipwrecked wishing to seize the rock.

"Que peSte et glaiue n'a Sceu definer

"Mort dans le puys Sommet du ciel frappe

"L'abbe mourra quand verra ruiner

"Ceux du naufrage l'eScueil voulant grapper"

"The above verse has many connections to the preceding ones. It not only contains the struck from the sky linkage but it repeats the image of a wreck involving religious persons. Nostradamus uses the term naufrage meaning shipwreck only four times, yet two of these verses appear to hold variants of Nostradamus’ name. In C.2 Q.56 the anagrams forming life paper (iel_f rappe) are followed by e_Mort_dans from which we can form Nostredam (only one other occurrence). In the previous verse I showed that using a split version of his full name it told Michel Nostredame’s story about comets and a large earth-strike generating earthquakes and a tsunami. In this context deviations from the normal is to expected for his personal ciphers since by this simple device they remain concealed.

"In the event of the earth being struck by a comet it would be reasonable to expect there might be death on the summit of those hills struck from the sky as well as the events of the last two lines. In this context we have a possible basis for the usage of the word naufrage as the defining cipher of place. An anagram for Rafuna is contained in naufrage that is the name of a place, a very small village on a mountain ridge in Serbia, a country that is part of my earlier findings in this series. Rafuna is about 150 kilometers inland from the Adriatic Sea and it is possibly this point where the celestial object impacts the Earth causing the ground to lift then sink into the surrounds."

"THE UNPRECEDENTED RISE IN SEA LEVEL PREDICTED BY NOSTRADAMUS

" ... there are many verses that give a credible scientific support to the idea of an unprecedented rise in sea level but they don't match up to Nostradamus' settings. The maximum ever experienced in the history of this planet has been determined as being about one hundred meters higher than today but for Nostradamus’ scenario to be met it must rise by nearly twice this previous maximum."

"C9 Q69

"On the hilltops of Bailly and the Bresle

"The proud one of Grenoble will be hidden

"Beyond Lyons and Vienne on them a very great hail

"Lobster on the land not a third thereof will remain.

"The elevation of each location above current sea-level is:

"Grenoble averages 212m

"Lyon airport is at 201m

"Vienna’s St Stephan Cathedral is 174m

"Bailly, Bourgogne nr Auxerre 190m.

"The source of the Bresle lies in hills (‘monts’) near Abancourt at 200m It is apparent that there is a common element in the elevation of these places as they are all in the range 170m to 220m. This height is outside the range of any previous flood levels in the historic records yet at 200 meters the amount of land left uncovered in France would be about one-third that currently above sea level and Nostradamus concludes the verse above by stating the same "Lobster on the land not a third thereof will remain." Lobsters at Grenoble are logical if the floods reach this high. This scheme of up to 200m flood waters doesn’t fit with any current projections for our times yet consistently Nostradamus’ flood theme gives settings that imply this level of ocean rise. His 1555 Preface to the Prophecies spells these levels out in a vivid way.

""I find that so many deluges and such deep floods shall befall the world before the universal conflagration that there shall not be scarcely any land. And this will be for such a long time that except for enographies and topograpies all would be lost. Also, both before and after these floods, the rains in many countries shall be so slight, and there will be so much fire and white-hot rock shall fall from the sky, that nothing shall remain that is not consumed."

"Nostradamus' Preface 1555 (CPE7)"

""And by worldwide floods between here and the term I have fore-stated, and before and after it by several times, will [the world] be so diminished, and so few people will there be found that want to take to the fields which will become free for as long as their prior owners have held them."

"Nostradamus' Preface 1555 (CPE8)"

................................................................................................

"There is another aspect worthy of comment. The text of the second line says “Through clear signs and fixed stars” and by this we are once more given confirmation of the astronomic conjunction in 2100CE."

" ... The fixed stars are those of Ursa Minor in which Polaris is located and it is their rise that allows the pole star to reach its ascendant position.

"The clear signs are the series of conjunctions between Jupiter and Saturn plus Mars and Venus during October and November in Virgo. And Virgo is in the rising sign in April, the date I earlier identified as relating to the start of the Noah-like deluge. So once again this template of events serves to reveal great detail. Just as the opening of a lock shows that the tumblers are correctly aligned we can see that these verses describe the minute events of one great catastrophe."

................................................................................................

" ... the shift in the polar axis and this dramatic theme is definitively set out in Nostradamus' 1558 Epistle, a paper accompanying the first publication of all 942 verses.

""This will be preceded by a solar eclipse more dark and gloomy than any since the creation of the world, except for the one after the death and passion of Jesus Christ. And this one will be in the month of October when the great translation will be made. And it will be such that one will think the gravity of the earth has lost its natural movement and that everything is to be plunged into the abyss of perpetual darkness. 1558 Epistle HEE12"

"However interpreting this as a large magnitude polar axis shift challenges human knowledge arising from similar events. There are constant small changes in the alignment of the axis brought about by natural physical effects of long term spin. Yet there is not at this time any credible record of a sudden dramatic shift within the history of human civilisation. ... "

................................................................................................

" ... Nostradamus' ciphers relate to star patterns. These have astronomic relevance to the displacement of constellations and can be used to measure any movement in them at the time the current pole star (Polaris) passes its zenith in 2105CE."

"The problems with giving dates to events by using conventional calendars are many since they are artifacts that at any point of time or place may differ due to whims and choices of dominant institutions.

"Astronomy overcomes this and is workable even though the rotation of the earth around an axis and the sun leads to different alignments of stars with the planets of our solar system. And our tilted axis introduces a much longer timescale (25,500+ years) than covered by local human interests. It remains true astronomic calendars aren’t simple for the layperson to use. The exact location of each star observed from Earth requires complex understanding of the extent of axes changes caused by irregular motions of other celestial bodies. But all this is manageable because the mechanics of stellar positions is fixed and hence changes in position can be known provided the reasons for it happening are known.

Author shows examples of where he takes seemingly perfectly written text by Nostradamus and rearranges it into another order, exposing it as anagram in English language from the original French.

................................................................................................

"This book covers Nostradamus’ principal themes of flood, fire in the sky, wars, disease and modernity affecting the 21st Century and beyond. The following chart gives an idea of the type of events during our future (2020CE to 3793CE)."

Author presents an alarming chart - alarming in the series of future predicted by Nostradamus as interpreted by author, beginning with jihadists in present times.

"“So I have dedicated my nocturnal and prophetic calculations, which are composed out of a natural instinct, accompanied by a poetic furore rather than in accord with the strict rules of poetry. And in the most part they have been composed and are in accord with astronomical calculations corresponding to the years, months and weeks of the regions, countries and most of the towns and cities of all Europe, including Africa and part of Asia.

"The algorithm [method] will be as easy as its meaning is difficult.”

"Nostradamus’ Epistle 1558 (HEE2)."

................................................................................................

"To decode any work relies on external regulatory frameworks. For instance, decoding messages in war-time would involve looking for messages related to real events crucial to the war such as the name of places, events, people etc. And to break that code you would rely on knowledge of word structures, frequency of letter usage etc.

"So this aspect needs to be addressed and I do so by revealing the disciplined approach I take in order to determine relevance of these presented anagrams.

"It relies firstly on the improbability of each anagram being a product of chance. The infrequency of lettering, word length and choice of lettering are the initial determinants.

................................................................................................

"Then there is a further factor; their cohesion to the story lines in other verses and Nostradamus’ 1555 Preface & 1558 Epistle.

"Despite all this discipline which increases the improbability of their occurrence being a product of chance it cannot remove that possibility. However that is true of all decoding, interpretation of ancient literature and past events."

" ... the other factor that bears on validity is the weight of evidence. There aren’t just one or two examples nor is there only one theme. There are many and as I will show they are bound by a level of consistency and cohesion that isn’t found in comparable texts."

" ... as unbelievable as it must first appear, messages of this type abound, giving immediate and dramatic sense to that which until now has seemed obscure and meaningless."

................................................................................................

"Nostradamus' coding does produce some easily read messages and this makes it tempting to see the code as totally elegant. But through necessity his technique had to be more like the power of an internet search engine than to the works of authors such as Shakespeare or Wordsworth which means that it is often not meant to be read like a novel or poem.

"His wording provides a list of key words forming templates that lock together. In my scheme the strength of the code relies on repetition across several verses to validate its components. This limits the destruction to the core messages that would otherwise happen due to accidental publication variations and tampering with the wording by publishers. And it is the type of coding process with which many 16thC writers were familiar.

"But for us it means it is probable that there is a way to approximate the order of the verses before Nostradamus scrambled them. And any succesful unscrambling process is likely to rely on linguistic and thematic links uniting small groups of verses.

"Another of Nostradamus’ mechanisms that help make his meanings clearer is he integrates the attributes of past and present tales into his future visions. This use of metaphors is given sharper focus by the connectivities found within and across words, verses and themes. And by these means the outcome, according to Nostradamus, is assured.

"“But when judgement comes to perfection with the celestial judgment that you wish to show: you will gain knowledge of future causes. Rejecting distant fantasies from the imaginations that will happen limits this feature [of future-seeing] to the premises suited to supernatural divine inspiration. And giving celestial figures, places, and the time the property held by a hidden virtue lies in this power and divine understanding. In the presence of these the three times comprise eternity because the revolution that causes them is the past, present and future: quia omnia funt nuda and aperta, etc. (Latin: because all are naked and exposed)...

"The Prophecies were published in two parts with the first part of over 300 verses published in 1555CE. In 1558 Nostradamus eventually put his prophecies into a book of ten chapters (Centuries). Although nine of them each have 100 verses (quatrains), Centuries VII has only forty two. Nostradamus gave no explanation as to why there are 942 quatrains separated out in this peculiar manner."
