10 years have passed since the publication of this article. But the topic raised in it is still relevant and interesting to our readers.
Retrospective. The year is 1999 and seven months...
When the dead rise from their graves.
Michelle Nostradamus.
Centuria 10, quatrain 74.
Michel Nostradamus knew the future. He didn't just assume various options events, but also saw these events in detail. Even the time when the internal logic of his prophecies would be revealed was well known to him 440 years before it happened.
It is no coincidence that M. Nostradamus singled out Russia in his prophecies. Numerous facts convincingly show that today global changes will begin in Russia. A “new branch” will appear here, carrying the update.
In the center of the huge world is a rose,
Because of new facts, human blood has been shed;
Those who speak the truth will have their mouths closed,
Then, if necessary, he will come later.
Centuria 5, quatrain 96.
Rosa – Russia. It was about the future mission of our country that Nostradamus wrote.
The sky from Plenkus city gives us an omen,
With clear directions and fixed stars,
That the era is approaching its sudden change,
Neither for good nor for evil.
Centuria 3, quatrain 46.
“Neither for good nor for evil...” It’s just time to start realizing and thinking about what’s happening in the world.
In his “Message to Henry” Nostradamus wrote about events in Russia:
“And the changed cities, towns, kingdoms and provinces, which abandoned the original paths for liberation, enslaved even deeper, will secretly be burdened by their freedom, and having completely lost religion, will begin to beat the left party in order to return to the right. Temples will be restored, as in the first times, and the clergy will be restored to their legal status, but will be mired in fraud and sensuality, and will commit a thousand atrocities. And from this new devastation will come closer...”
Here we see a clear reference to Russia from 1980 to 2000. There was a “movement to the right” and a multi-party system. Temples are being restored, and priests are replacing political officers in the army; Confessional booths are installed in police departments. And the symptoms of “wallowing in luxury” are obvious.
Today the church has everything - “absolution of sins” and retail outlets selling all kinds of ritual services: “godly” candles, calendars, icons... The only thing missing there is God himself.
Let's think about what specific fruits have churches, mosques, and synagogues brought today? Maybe the people for the most part have warmed up in their souls? Or maybe there are fewer wars on Earth? Or did religion give the world outstanding scientists, writers, philosophers? After all, once upon a time it was like this: the church was the Temple of Science and brought people basic literacy.
In Russia, where the prophecies have been deciphered and where freedom is understood as revelry and lawlessness, despite warnings, a riot may occur. A certain Antibes will take over the army.
Warnings have been given to the ungrateful people.
Then Antibes will take possession of the army...”
Centuria 10, quatrain 23.
By “Antibes, Antibor” a certain opponent of Boris Nikolaevich is assumed.
Blamed, Antibor, cities near Victory,
They will be greatly entertained across the sea and over the land:
This locust of land and sea is a timely plague,
Dead containers were taken, robbed without
war (without military law).
Centuria 3, quatrain 82.
There is a clear analogy here with the modern economic and political state of Russia, when financial support that looks more like bribes comes to us from across the sea and over land, and at the same time the country is being stolen literally before our eyes. Well, tell me, not locusts?
The fact is that in the "Epistle to Henry" there is a fairly clear warning that if, “Forcing the people to go to the right, he will not want to come down to them, at the end of the counteraction hand of military unrest on earth”.
Moreover, this will happen precisely when “the restored Christian Church will be at its peak, and all this will wallow in luxury and commit a thousand crimes”.
Here again is an indication of our time period. The salvation of the government does not lie in self-government, but in condescension to the people and an end to the plunder of the country. But, as we see, the processes of political and economic life The country is not developing for the better.
Because of the spirit of the state, money has become worthless,
And the people will rebel against their king...
Centuria 6, quatrain 23.
The beginning of the 21st century, according to the predictions of Nostradamus, should be marked by the arrival and deeds of the Great Monarch. The Prophet also calls him the Great Henry. His arrival is expected by 1999. This monarch is destined to unite Europe and free it from all hostile forces. He will become the Ruler of the world and the United Nations of Europe.
The leader of the world will be the great Hiren,
He will be desired more than all others,
but further they will fear and fear him,
His honor will rise to heaven,
And he will be awarded the title of conqueror.
Centuria 6, quatrain 70.
This Great Monarch will be born at 48-50 degrees latitude. It is likely that Michel Nostradamus had in mind the city of Rostov-on-Don! And the author already has some evidence for this...
The state will be given to two, but they are few
will hold out. (The reign of the kingdom is short-lived
will hold),
In three years and seven months they will start a war,
Two vestals will rise up against (them),
Lesser Victor /Winner/ (will be born) in
Armenian (Armonica?) land.
Centuria 4, quatrain 95.
Addressing the Great Monarch, Nostradamus says: “Only you have the highest priority in resolving religious issues.” There is a connection between this Ruler and the renewal of spirituality and ideology.
Further, the Prophet clearly indicates that this “renewer of the true Church” will appear not from already existing religions, but “from that branch that was in vain considered withered,” and this will happen in the country where “in the month of October a great revolution will break out ", whose conquests "will not last longer than 73 years and 7 months."
In other words, we are talking specifically about Russia.
The great King has been abandoned by physicists,
By fate, and not by the ability to stay alive from Drunk,
He and his family are raised high in the state,
Pardon is given to people who envy Christ.
Centuria 6, quatrain 18.
There is a connection between science and spirituality here. The time of the arrival of the Great Monarch is discussed in the following quatrain:
Year one thousand nine hundred ninety nine and seven months,
The great King of Terror will appear from heaven;
Restore the great king from Angumua,
Before and after Mars (War) reign happily.
Centuria 10, quatrain 72.
So, the time of the event is predetermined - June 1999 or July 2000. As we know, August 11, 1999 happened solar eclipse. In 2000, as many as three such eclipses are expected! "The Great King of Terror will come from the sky..."
Perhaps it is in this year 2000 that something unprecedented and unheard of will happen - an emergency contact situation with Extraterrestrial Intelligence!!! So that people finally think that we are not alone in the Universe.
During Christmas week alone, more than 400 UFO sightings were reported around the world. January 1st at 1 am local time over Velikaya Chinese wall The “plate” posed for media representatives and allowed herself to be filmed on video cameras! And at the end of February, a massive UFO invasion led to official circles in China recognizing the reality of Extraterrestrial Intelligence activity on our planet.
It's time for other governments to follow this example! Indeed, at present, only narrow-minded people can assume that man descended from a monkey, and life on Earth arose by chance in a puddle.
Moreover, those who still claim that UFOs are some kind of fluctuations in atmospheric air look stupid!
Apparently, in July 2000, we will all witness one of the most ambitious “fluctuations” - real contact with representatives of Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
Therefore, the time has come to turn to awareness and repentance. Otherwise, we are on the verge of a third world war, which the ruling clans of the planet will try to unleash. After all, otherwise, the people will finally understand: who is the real master on Earth!
It was in July 2000 in natal chart V.V. Putin, who came to power at the time of the July lunar eclipse-99, shows the most intense aspect! (See article by G. Maslov, “PK” No. 2, 2000.)
When the year turns to the great seventh,
Then the deadly games of the hecatomb will appear,
Shortly before the new thousandth century,
When the dead rise from their graves.
Centuria 10, quatrain 74.
(Hecate is the lunar goddess. Gakatomba is the expiatory and bloodiest sacrifice of the ancient Greeks, when a hundred bulls were slaughtered in honor of the formidable goddess.)
During this period, a new ideological movement will appear on the world stage, which will be greatly persecuted.
“The persecution of the people of Preaching will begin with the Kings of Aquilon,” and then, when the ruler of Aquilon weakens, then a certain “holy man of his law, an observer of God, the whole order of religion will be very much upset, so much so that the blood of the true Preachers will float everywhere. »
"Message to Henry".
It clearly says that the new ideology will be persecuted first by the Russian authorities, and then, when the entire “religious order is limited,” then blood will be shed like a river.
Simply put, the church fathers will not want to agree to a voluntary reformation and will go against the “true preachers” and the “law of God” itself.
"One new sect of philosophers,
Despising death, gold, honors and riches,
They will not be limited to their native cities,
In them, followers will have support and
cohesion."
Centuria 3, quatrain 67.
Nostradamus describes the development of further events as follows:
“The people rise up in defense, drive out these clingy legislators, and it will seem that the states are weakened because of the Eastern ones, that God the Creator has decided to release Satan from the prison of the underworld in order to give birth to the Great Dog and Dokhan, who will make such a disgusting faction in the Churches, whatever these red and white without eyes and without hands will no longer judge, and their power will be taken away from them.”
"Message to Henry".
Here we are talking about a violent change of power somewhere in the East, only as a result of this both the “reds” and the “whites” will become blind, helpless and lose their power! “The Great Dog and Dokhan are a disgusting faction in the churches” will lead to big church “showdowns”, and “such a mess will brew” that it will seem as if Satan has broken free.
A body without a soul will not be sacrificed,
The day of death will become the day of birth:
The divine spirit will make the soul happy,
Contemplating the (Divine) Verb in its infinity.
Centuria 2, quatrain 13.
Yes, there is a force in our country that can lead the whole world to a new life. But everything depends on people’s awareness and repentance. If people don't start to think about what is happening, we could all be drawn into a third world war. It was the date - mid-2002 - that Nostradamus encrypted as the possible beginning of this terrible event.
The terrible war that is being prepared in the West,
A year later the plague will come
So terrible that neither young nor
Neither old nor beast.
Blood, fire, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter in France.
Centuria 9, quatrain 55.
And the collapse in the country will continue for another 27 years.
From this heavenly fire to the Royal building,
When the light of War fades,
Seven months of great war, dead people
from damage.
Centuria 4, quatrain 100.
In other words, we have to learn to fight evil bloodlessly, and if this does not happen, then the promised Golden Age will never come.
We will only have to console ourselves with the fact that distant descendants who survived this deadly war of 2002 will tell legends about our failed civilization.
But Nostradamus did not write about the fatality of the third world war. He simply warned future generations about these events, about how all this could be avoided.
Everything depends on ourselves, on the mind and awareness of everyone. It is possible that in mid-2002 a peaceful normalization of life in all spheres of society will begin.
Mars and the scepter (Jupiter) will open in conjunction (July 2000),
Under Cancer there is a disastrous war:
A little later a new King will be anointed,
Which will pacify the earth for a long time.
Centuria 6, quatrain 24.
“Then he will come from that branch that was considered barren for such a long time, and will come from that 50th degree who will renew the entire Christian Church. And the greatest peace, union and harmony will be established between several children warring, lost and divided due to different governments, such peace will be concluded that the instigators and instigators of hostilities, using religious differences, will remain bound in the underworld, and the kingdom of these Slaves will be united; which will remake wisdom."
"Message to Henry".
In a word, the victory of the new teaching is predetermined. And it already exists!
But the final victory of the age of Saturn is attributed by Nostradamus to 2035, and until then we all have a lot of work ahead of us!
“Satan will be captured and in chains for about a thousand years, and peace will be made between God and people.” .

Michel Nostradamus is a talented scientist, philosopher and alchemist. But he is better known as a soothsayer. Researchers studying the manuscripts of Nostradamus claim that his book of predictions covers a huge period of time - from 1557 to 3797. However, not all of his prophecies about the future have survived to this day.
To this day, historians are trying to fully decipher his prophecies. In their opinion, the accuracy of Nostradamus' predictions is 70-80%. Although, if you find the right key to his coded prophecies, then, most likely, his manuscripts will turn out to be very valuable. What, according to his predictions, awaits us soon?
What did he say about the third world war?
For the most part, the scientist wrote in his works about the future fate of European countries. He composed prophecies for the most powerful rulers of Europe and for the Pope himself. His creations represent hundreds of quatrains, which are combined into centuries.
According to modern researchers, most of Nostradamus' quatrains have very vague content. Some of his predictions are not clear in their consistency. When describing future events, the great alchemist almost did not name specific dates, but pointed only to events of an astronomical nature. For example, speaking about the date of an upcoming event, he named only cosmic phenomena that will occur this year.
Many clairvoyants and soothsayers spoke about the beginning of the third world war. According to most prophecies, this war should become the bloodiest and most terrible, and the consequences of military actions will lead to the fact that our planet will become uninhabitable. That is, in the prophecies of all times, this event was equated with the apocalypse.
If we turn to the centuries of Michel Nostradamus, then in his predictions little is clear about what year the third year will be World War and what will serve as its beginning. All his prophecies are encrypted in such a way that it is impossible to understand the essence of their content. Scientists have struggled for a long time to decipher the message about the third world war, and have presented several interpretations to the public.
“War will begin when a camel drinks water from the Rhine and Danube and does not repent of it. And then Rona and Laura will shudder. But the Rooster in the Alps will destroy him.” This quatrain says that the war will begin when the camel drinks water from the Rhine and Danube. According to scientists, the camel in this quatrain symbolizes the Arab countries. According to one interpretation, the Arab coalition will strike Europe.
There is another version according to which camels are Arab migrants living in European countries. They drink water from the Danube and Rhine. If the interpretation is correct, then this prophecy has already come true. Speaking about in his prophecy, Nostradamus had in mind the “Gallic rooster,” that is, France.
According to the third version, the Arab wars will drink the blood of Europeans, or rather Germans, since at first they talk about the Rhine and Danube. The Rhone is a river in France, which means that this state will also suffer. Laura is a mountain in Guinea. It follows from this that the war will affect all continents. Near the Alps, the Rooster will destroy him - this prophecy can be interpreted as the coming of a savior born in the year of the Rooster according to the eastern calendar.
According to the manuscripts of the French scientist, the next war that will take over the whole world will be terrible and bloody. As a result, only two powerful countries will remain - the Indian state and China.
There are several other important predictions regarding the war. Nostradamus spoke about the seven: “Seven will come from the east, and they will bring death with their deadly retinue. Hail, rage, evil, plague. The whole West will take flight because of the king of the East." This prophecy again talks about the confrontation between the West and the East.
“Seven” - perhaps Nostradamus meant seven by this word Arab countries who united to take over Europe. The “deadly retinue,” according to the interpretation of researchers, is nothing more than allies of the invading countries. “Hail, rage, evil, plague” - this is probably how the soothsayer wanted to characterize this difficult time. “The West has taken flight” - a prediction of victory for the Arab countries.
According to historians, Nostradamus encrypted the date of the start of the third world war in the following message: “it will begin in the year in which the day of the crucifixion of Christ coincides with the day of St. George. The day of the Holy Resurrection of the Lord will fall on the feast of St. Mark, and Christmas will be on the day of St. John.”
It should be noted that there have already been such days in history - in 1886 and 1943. Next year, on which all the listed holidays coincide, will be 2038. It is interesting that, despite the difference in calendars, this year coincides for Catholics and Christians.
Predictions for the 21st century
The 21st century in the alchemist’s prophecies is presented as a very complex and unstable time, when the old will collapse and the new will be built. This is the era of Aquarius, a time of change and transformation.
The great scientist predicted global cataclysms that could lead to the end of the world. Tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, fires and hurricanes - all this, according to prophecy, will be one of the problems of the 21st century.
Nostradamus' predictions about the 21st century began to come true back in 2001. Historians claim that the events of September 11, 2001 were described in one of the quatrains.
According to historians and scientists who interpreted the quatrains of Nostradamus, the next global war will begin in 2038. The use of nuclear and other weapons will make life unbearable in many countries. West and East will confront each other.
The year 2017 in the prediction calendar is associated with the rise of power of the four rulers. They are the ones who will influence the politics and economy of all countries. However, their collision will lead to a serious conflict between the countries of Europe and the states of America.
The mid-21st century will be marked by a weakening of the power and economy of many Western countries. The USA and some European countries will be at odds. This confrontation will weaken them completely. The countries of Asia and the East will gain world dominance.
Nostradamus also predicted the emergence of new diseases that could cover the whole world. The search for a cure will take a long time, and millions of lives will be taken by the terrible disease. Incurable diseases will result from the use of bacteriological and chemical weapons. The prophet also wrote about an outbreak of a serious virus that would take over almost the entire planet. The source of the virus will be the countries of the East.
The main essence of Nostradamus’ predictions about the 21st century is this is a change in world dominance and big changes in geopolitics.
List by year
If we study the interpretation of Nostradamus' predictions about the future, we can conclude that the coming decades will be filled with a series of important events, discoveries and changes.
Prophecies for Russia
The future, according to the predictions of Nostradamus, is a staircase leading upward. The state will become economically strong and raise its authority. The most important thing is that Russia will become the dominant country.
- From 2017 to 2018 Russia will be able to emerge from the crisis and take the first steps towards global influence. The economy will strengthen. Agriculture will begin to develop. These years are also characterized in the prophecy as troubled - many of the influential people will reveal their true face. There will be either a change of power, or the government will change the state development strategy.
- 2019- a time of social unrest and discontent. There is a risk of Russians splitting into several groups.
- In 2020 our state will take on the role of a world arbiter, which will have to resolve most conflicts in Europe, Asia and the East.
- In 2023 New horizons will open up for Russia, but the ruler of the state will have to make a difficult choice.
- In 2025 Russia will expand its borders. Relations with the United States and some European countries will deteriorate. This could lead to armed conflict. The President will initiate the creation of a powerful union of several countries. This alliance will include Russia, China, Great Britain and India. Subsequently, a number of other countries will join it. This will be a new step for Russia, which will bring it closer to global influence.
- From 2029 Russia will begin to fight a new enemy. A person will appear on the political arena whose influence and power will threaten all of humanity.
- 2035, according to prophecy, will mark the beginning of a golden age for the Russian Federation. The state will have a strong economy and developed trade. Russians will be among those who will make new discoveries in science and astronomy.
- 2039– Russia, despite its rise, will be in crisis due to armed conflicts around the world.
- 2045– a new danger for Russia is coming. The country will begin to unite states into a strong union to combat new disasters and wars.
According to these prophecies, Russia will become a world power. She is destined to become a world arbiter, resolve interstate conflicts and create new world and new foundations.
What are Nostradamus tables?
The book of predictions by Nostradamus was first published in 1555. On title page the soothsayer left an encrypted message - a key, which, having solved it, anyone could find out the future from this book. This code remains unsolved to this day.
In the 19th century, scientists Raphael and Tzadkiel tried to decipher the code and got a little closer to solving it. Based on this code, they compiled tables that help to find out the future.
These tables received the name of Nostradamus, despite the fact that he did not invent them. It is not known for certain whether scientists deciphered its code correctly; this will most likely remain a mystery forever. Now, based on the table of Nostradamus, fortune-telling is made for the future.
Whether you believe the predictions of Nostradamus or not is up to you. His prophecies are difficult to understand and unravel. Perhaps because of this, most people believe that his prophecies are unlikely to come true.
Interpreters of the creative heritage of Michel Nostradamus today are looking for indications of 2012 in his works, because they are confident that a real predictor would not leave such a date unattended. These expectations are not without meaning, since, judging by the numerous coincidences between the interpretations of Nostradamus’s quatrains and historical events, the 16th-century doctor managed to grasp certain patterns in the development of civilization.
Michel de Notredame was born on December 14, 1503 in the small town of Saint-Rémy in Provence into the family of the notary Jaume de Notredame, who shortly before was forced to choose Catholicism over the Jewish faith (according to the decree of Louis XII that determined the fate of French Jews). The family of the future master of Nostradamus was very wealthy: according to the “Chronicle of Provence” by Cesar de Notredame (one of the sons of Nostradamus), Michel’s great-grandfathers were doctors at the courts of the rulers of Provence - Count Rene the Good and the Duke of Calabria. Relatives of Nostradamus continued to secretly observe the rituals of Judaism. Thus, Michel’s worldview was based on two faiths: first of all, the Jewish one, which was certainly accompanied by an atmosphere of dangerous secrecy, and, of course, the officially introduced Catholicism.
In 1521, Michel de Notredame received his Master of Arts degree in Avignon. The next eight years of the young master’s life fell out of the attention of biographers - according to Nostradamus himself, they were spent in wanderings and research, the purpose of which was the accumulation of medical and pharmaceutical knowledge. In 1529 he entered the medical faculty of the University of Montpellier and, despite several conflict situations with teachers, came out with a doctorate and the right to write his last name in the Latin manner: Nostradamus. During the new stage of his wanderings that followed, Nostradamus became close friends with the famous scientist, poet and humanist figure Jules Cesar Scaliger, and then settled in the town of Agen. However, in 1537, a plague came to this city, from which the wife and children of Nostradamus died. A year later, the doctor was imprisoned by the Holy Inquisition on charges of blasphemy - according to an anonymous denunciation, he spoke unflatteringly about one of the sculptures of the Virgin Mary. However, the accusation was found to be false. Once free, Nostradamus soon left Agen - apparently, this happened after a quarrel with Cesar Scaliger, from whom the doctor subsequently received a number of caustic epigrams - including accusations of hidden Judaism.
Michel de Notredame, who gained fame as the greatest seer of all times
For the next few years, Michel de Notredame practiced medicine in Italy and Germany. In 1546, he again found himself in France, where he took an active part in the fight against the plague in the city of Aix in Provence - so active that the city’s parliament awarded the doctor a lifelong pension. A year later, Nostradamus remarried (his second marriage subsequently brought him 6 children).
Soon Nostradamus managed to break through the veil of church censorship and begin publishing an annual astrological almanac. The first issue was published in 1555 in Lyon. At the same time, the first edition of “The Prophecies of Master Michel Nostradamus” was published, which consisted of 353 predictions, made in the form of quatrains (quatrains) and an epistolary preface in the spirit of the times - “Letters to his son Cesar.” But, despite the fact that Catholic Church had previously given the go-ahead for the publication of the fortuneteller’s works, Nostradamus still had to justify his quatrains again and again in the face of “representatives of God on Earth.” Then secular power joined the church, which made the astrologer’s life unbearable - he moved from place to place, until in 1558, in the preface to the last part of the “Centuries” (collections of 100 quatrains), he addressed King Henry II. The soothsayer called the monarch the ruler of the world and in an allegorical form revealed to him the future of humanity for many centuries to come. A year later, Henry II died at a tournament, perhaps without having time to familiarize himself with Nostradamus’ extensive message. It is assumed that the predictor wrote about the future death of the king back in the first “Century” (its 35th quatrain), and it is possible that it was thanks to this prediction that turned out to be correct that Nostradamus received an audience with Catherine de Medici.
In 1561, the astrologer was taken into custody in his own house in Provence, in the city of Salon - the authorities demanded that he detailed description life and future achievements of the young king Charles IX. It is known that Nostradamus composed his response letter in such a way that, on the one hand, he gave in to the persistent wishes of those in power, but on the other hand, he did not say anything specific. The text of the letter, unfortunately, has not been preserved.
In 1564, Michel Nostradamus received the post of court physician and so, being at the peak of his career, died from complications of gout on July 2, 1566. Over his grave in the Salon there was a slab with the inscription: “Here lie the bones of the famous Michel Nostradamus, the only mortal who was worthy to capture with his almost divine pen, thanks to the influence of the stars, the future events of the whole world.”
Data
The first complete edition of “The Prophecies of Master Michel Nostradamus” appeared in 1568 - 2 years after the death of the predictor. It contained all ten "Centuries", which included 942 quatrains - it is known that the seventh "Centuria" remained incomplete. The publication also included the entire prose address to Henry II, consisting of prophecies, and a “Letter to his son Cesar,” explaining the occult views of Nostradamus. It was the quatrains that brought Michel de Notredame the posthumous fame of the greatest, apart from biblical characters, seer in the world.
Nostradamus owes his lifetime popularity to his annual astrological almanacs, which were regularly published from 1555 to 1567. Most of this almanac was occupied by predictions in prose. In addition, one quatrain was dedicated to the next year as a whole and each of its months separately.
Page of the first edition of “The Prophecies of Master Michel Nostradamus”
The prophetic verses of Nostradamus set out the history of the future in an allegorical form, so they can have a lot of different interpretations. This is both their disadvantage and advantage, since it is unknown what the proportion of coincidences would be if the predictor spoke about specific dates and events. It often turns out that one or another quatrain is indeed suitable for describing events that have already happened, but these quatrains can hardly be used for confident forecasts for the future.
This does not prevent followers of Nostradamus from attributing to their idol descriptions of all significant events in human history for thousands of years to come. For example, according to interpreters, the 32nd quatrain of the fifth “Century” warns about the American disaster of September 11, 2001:
Where everything is good and beautiful - the Sun and the Moon, abundance -
Ruin is coming,
It will come from the sky to cast your fate
To the state of the seventh stone...
Despite the fact that this prediction is one of those that do not have a chronological reference, thousands of people around the world are confident that Nostradamus still managed to foresee the destruction of the skyscrapers of the World War II that occurred as a result of the terrorist attack. shopping center. In alchemy, the Sun and Moon symbolize gold and silver, and the “seventh stone” (“seventh metal”) is mercury, which in this context signifies destruction. Thus, the quatrain really speaks of a catastrophe coming from heaven to the center of wealth - according to interpreters, this is enough to give specific meaning to the general prophecy.
However, the legacy of Nostradamus includes many predictions that came true with dates embedded in them. Below are just a few examples of such prophecies.
Thousands of people around the world are confident that Nostradamus managed to foresee the destruction of the World Trade Center skyscrapers that occurred as a result of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001
Galileo Galilei demonstrates the telescope and sketches of the observations made with its help to the “scientific” cardinals. As is known, church leaders were not imbued with the scientist’s achievements. Or they were imbued with it, but misunderstood them...
Data
An adapted translation of the 71st quatrain of the eighth “Centuria” into Russian looks like this:
The number of astronomers will increase so much
Persecuted, banished and banned books
In the year 1607 thanks to the holy cups,
That no one can be saved from the holy gifts.
In 1607, Johannes Kepler's work “New Astronomy” was published, laying the foundation for modern astronomy. A year later, the telescope (spotting scope) was invented. The operating principle of this device, which was simple at that time, became generally known, which led to a wave of enthusiasm for officially prohibited astronomy. The discoveries of Galileo Galilei and many astronomers who disappeared into obscurity in the basements of the Holy Inquisition and the “Towers of Jesters” (a prison and a madhouse at the same time) date back to the same time. Few people were truly saved from the “sacred gifts.”
49th quatrain of the first "Century":
Eastern people, led by lunar power,
In 1700 they will make great campaigns,
Almost conquering the corner of Aquilon.
The traditional poetic meaning of Aquilon is “the land of the north wind.” In 1700, the Northern War of Russia and its allies against Sweden began, as a result of which the “corner of Aquilon” - the Baltic states - went to Russia. Speaking about “people led by lunar power,” the soothsayer, according to interpreters, means that the Northern War (1700-1721) coincides in time with the peak of the astrological epoch of the Moon - therefore, the cause of wars lies in its destructive influence.
25th quatrain of the same “Centuria”:
The lost is found, hidden for a long century,
This pastor will be revered as a demigod
Thus the Moon, having completed its cycle,
Will be defiled by other desires.
According to the concept of planetary ages, formulated by the Jewish philosopher Abraham ibn Ezra in the 12th century, the age of the Moon begins in 1535 and ends in 1889. This year the future “pastor” Adolf Hitler was born. “Demi-god” (superman) is the main figure of the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, whose works inspired Hitler to create his own ideology.
In his message to Henry II - the same one that never reached its immediate addressee, but became the property of mankind - Nostradamus mentions the French Revolution of 1792.
In addition, the same message contains a prediction of the rise and fall of the USSR: “And in the month of October it will happen that some great movement will occur - such that they will think that the colossus of the Earth has lost its natural direction and plunged into eternal darkness. Before this, in the springtime, and after this, there will be exceptional changes and shifts of power, great earthquakes, with the growth of New Babylonia, a despicable daughter, increased by the abomination of the first Holocaust, and it will last only 73 years and 7 months.” Surprisingly, the period of existence of the Soviet Union is indicated here almost without error.
Probably, in the quatrains of Nostradamus one can really find a warning about cataclysms that could befall humanity in 2012 or in the foreseeable future. But even today, when there is not much left until this, apparently, turning point date, it is almost impossible to guess which of the probabilities will prevail first - too many threats to the existence of humanity have converged at one point in time. Therefore, now it is difficult to say what exactly you need to look for in quatrains. Perhaps the quatrain about the catastrophe will be found after the fact - if, of course, there are those willing to look for it in the ruins of human civilization.
For five centuries now, the image of the seer Nostradamus has been an integral part of the cultural space of human civilization. In the picture: fragment from computer game"The Mysteries of Nostradamus. In search of the ring of fate"

Having arranged the fulfilled predictions of Nostradamus by year, we will understand that the famous astrologer saw not only the immediate future, but also looked ahead, describing the events that occurred after death. The accuracy of the prophecies makes it unique and extremely valuable.
In the article:
Fulfilled predictions of Nostradamus by year
Let's start with the first forecast; it came true during the life of the great astrologer. July 10, 1559 during a duel between the King of France and the Earl of Montgomery. This happened during a knightly tournament, where a sharp wooden spear pierced the helmet and hit the king in the eye. Shocked contemporaries associated him with the following prophecy:
Young Leo will defeat the second on the Battlefield in a single duel.
He will gouge out his eyes in a golden cage.
Two fleets merge into one.
Then he will die a terrible death.
After this, Michel Nostradamus' predictions finally began to be taken seriously.
Prediction 2: about Louis
When the fork is supported by two stakes,
With six half bodies and six open scissors:
A very powerful Lord, heir to the toads,
Then he will subjugate, the whole universe is under him.
The first line hides a reference to the letter M, which means the number 1000. 6 half bodies are the letter C, equivalent to the number 100. Together this is 1600. 6 open scissors are the letter X, meaning the number 10. It turns out the year 1660.
Toads are an ancient symbol of France. The forecast speaks of the return of power to the French king in 1660; in March 1661, Louis XIV gained power after the death of Cardinal Mazarin.
Prediction 3: about the great fire of 1666
The next Nostradamus prediction to come true is a fire in London. On September 2, 1666, a fire engulfed a small bakery and was extinguished within three days. As a result, the entire city was destroyed.
4.About Napoleon Bonaparte
Predictions about Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born in Corsica, are found in the prophecies of Nostradamus. Many are sure that the identity of the great commander is hidden under the mask of the Antichrist. The astrologer compared Bonaparte to a murderer and a butcher, but not to a ruling person.
5.Events of 1899
Researchers of the famous astrologer's forecasts claim that this one describes the events of 1899, when 14 jurors found the French officer Alfredo guilty. They made their conclusion based on forged papers and accused the man of disclosing secret data to enemies.
At that time, the judge was the anti-Semite Waldeck Rousseau. Alfredo's case became high-profile and attracted the attention of the public and political figures. In 1906, Alfred Dreyfus was acquitted and all charges against him were dropped.
Prediction 6: About Hitler
Another true prophecy - quatrains about Hitler. The astrologer warned that a poor family from Western Europe would give birth to a boy who, thanks to his gift as an orator, would be able to strengthen the Nazi Party in Germany after the First World War.
The prophecy mentions the word "Hister". Some researchers claim that this is a typo, others insist that this is another name for the Danube River.
7. About the Pope
Nostradamus spoke of a man who could renew the church. And a great man will appear from 50 latitude. At this latitude is the city of Krakow, where Karl Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) was born.
Prediction 8: Nuclear Bomb
The heavenly arrow will extend the wing of death: a great conquest.
A proud people will be struck down by a stone thrown from a tree.
Rumors of something monstrous created by man will lead to extermination.
This quatrain confirms the fact that Nostradamus foresaw the tragedy in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the US dropped on them atomic bombs. The prophecy mentions the phrase - a stone thrown from a tree.
Researchers don't find accurate decoding phrases, but followers believe that this is a description of rising atomic mushrooms in the sky above cities.
9. About Kennedy
And the assassination of John Kennedy did not hide from the astrologer. He argued that death would fall on the Great One from the roof, an innocent person would be blamed for this, and he would also die. And so it happened, Lee Harvey Oswald was killed before his trial.
10: about 09/11/2011
One of the prophecies says that at the 45th degree the sky will burst into flames, and the fire will reach the New City, everyone will die. Researchers of the legacy of Nostradamus claim that 45 degrees is the latitude position of New York, or this clue is interpreted as the 45 degree angle formed by the building during its fall.
This prophecy is a reference to September 11, 2001, when hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York.
Nostradamus - prophecies for 2012
Politics and economics. Michel warned that a crisis would come and the situation in many countries would become deplorable, the power of the European Union was no longer stable, and armed clashes were possible on the territory of modern Crimea. As well as the confrontation between European states and the United States of America. Terrorist attacks are likely to break out across the planet.
Nostradamus suggested that the resurrection of the king of the Mongols was possible. Various researchers believe that this is a description of the threat from Russia. The prophecy about the global crisis has become true; it will also affect Western Europe. The prophecies that Rome and Great Britain would disappear did not come true.
Space. Nostradamus assured that there would be three important eclipses in 2012. Solar, Venus, a unique parade of planets. Researchers of Michel's heritage believe that the quatrains are about weakening magnetic field Earth.
Important: according to Nostradamus, the apocalypse is not the end of all life, but it is simply a moment of change, a transition of society to next stage development. Therefore, researchers are convinced that in 2012 people will have information that we will receive from representatives of alien civilizations.
Astrologer about 2014
Nostradamus warns of cataclysms in different parts of the planet. He predicted that the sun would take on a strange rusty hue, and this would provoke volcanic eruptions, emissions of sulfur gases, and frequent forest fires.
The Earth's atmosphere is becoming polluted and global warming is coming. The astrologer warns that Italy, Australia and the UK will find themselves under water. This prophecy did not come true. Disasters from floods, floods, and storms will hit both eastern and southern Asia.
Among the forecasts is a global economic crisis. This will cause changes in global political and economic sphere. The United States of America will not have such influence, the advantage is on China's side. Major famine is possible, especially in Africa.
He foresaw the appearance of an aggressor, a warlike personality who had been forgotten. Researchers believe that we are talking about Bin Laden.
Followers claim that various disasters will entail social, climate, and political problems. The quatrains mention Lake Leiman, which is located in Switzerland. The agreements concluded in this territory will turn out to be empty and ineffective. The astrologer did not rule out inciting a religious war.
The enemies of God will neglect the sacred laws, and such a war of religions will serve as the beginning of a political confrontation. This is interpreted as an attack on the Christian state. A power embraced by the missionary idea will appear on the political arena.
Nostradamus insisted that religion would help society avoid many misfortunes. He believed that at the end of 2014 the main problems would gradually be resolved and the world would return to its normal rhythm of life. Muslims will remain militant; they do not strive for peace.
The second half of 2014 is decisive, humanity will receive the new kind energy. As for space, Nostradamus mentions the planet Nibiru, it will pass close to Earth. The astrologer did not exclude that due to such contact the earth’s axis would shift, which would provoke disruptions in the climate.
Prophecies of Nostradamus for 2015
2015 will bring an earthquake to the United States of America, which will mark the beginning of a series of natural disasters.
Nostradamus assured that a crisis would reach France and Germany this year, and an assassination attempt would be made on the rulers of the states. The astrologer said that in 2015 the elixir of eternal youth will be discovered and people will use solar energy.
On November 17, 1558, Queen Elizabeth I Tudor ascended the English throne, dramatically changing the political orientation of the country. Protestantism was restored in England.
Nostradamus predicted the coronation of Elizabeth I in quatrain X, 19:
The day she'll be welcomed like a queen
The day when after the blessing there is prayer.
A considerable count is correct.
She was modest before, but she will never be so proud.
The same theme can be seen in quatrain VI, 74:
The rejected (or expelled) will return to the kingdom.
Her enemies will be exposed as conspirators.
Her time will be a time of triumph more than ever.
Three and seventy to death for sure.
True, Elizabeth I lived not 73, but only 70 years, but this difficulty can be avoided when interpreting the prediction if we assume that the separate number three indicates the date of death - 1603.
Quatrain X, 84 can also be attributed to the same cycle of prophecies of Nostradamus:
An illegitimate daughter so tall
high, not low.
A late return will comfort the offended,
Reconciled not without controversy,
Having used and spent all my time.
Here, as it were, the motive of Elizabeth’s illegitimacy arises. Although her father Henry VIII rejected this version before his death, appointing Elizabeth as his third heir (in the event of the death of the childless Edward IV and then Mary, as actually happened), the popes to the end continued to consider the heretic Elizabeth illegitimate, who had stolen the English throne from the legal heir (Mary Stuart, a distant relative of Henry VIII). The rest of the quatrain can be seen as an expression of the author's hope for civil peace at the end of Elizabeth's reign.
In the predictions of Nostradamus, one quatrain, apparently, is dedicated to the contemporary and rival of Elizabeth I - the Scottish Queen Mary Stuart - VIII, 23:
Letters will be found in the queen's chests
No signature, no author's name.
These promises will be hidden using cunning.
So no one will know who the lover was.
THIS immediately reminds us of the “letters in a casket” case. Mary Stuart had a silver casket, something like a safe, with particularly complex locks, which was given to her first husband, the French king Francis II. And she gave it to her third husband, Earl Bothwell. Bothwell kept Mary's letters in it. After the couple’s unsuccessful battle with their subjects at Carberry Hill, the casket ended up in the possession of the Scottish Parliament. Letters from the chest were read at its meeting on December 15, 1567. It seemed to follow from them that Mary Stuart was Bothwell’s accomplice in the murder of her second husband Henry Darnley. These letters, however, have reached us only in translation into other languages. The originals disappeared at the end of the 16th century. Therefore, a number of researchers consider these letters to be forged. The reader who wants to know this story in detail can turn to Stefan Zweig's book “Mary Stuart”.
The further history of England, i.e., the reign of Mary Stuart’s son, King James I Stuart, refers to quatrain X, 36:
The stump king, when he starts talking about wars,
The united island will be despised.
Some good years bickering and robbery.
Due to tyranny, prices on the island will change.
James Stuart was the sixth king of this name in Scotland, but he went down in history primarily as James I, the founder of the Stuart dynasty in England, which replaced the Tudor dynasty, the last direct descendant of which was Elizabeth 1. Therefore, the nickname “stump king” is appropriate for him. , i.e. the ancestor, founder of the dynasty, whose descendants are the ascending branches family tree. James I was a coward, did not have any special talents and was not respected. His ineffective reign gradually set the stage for the crisis that erupted under his son Charles I.
Now let us turn to those predictions that are usually attributed to the son of James I, Charles I (1625 - 1649), who laid down his head on the scaffold. Quatrain V, 93 reads:
Under the earth of the round lunar ball,
When Mercury dominates,
The Scottish island will produce a luminary,
Which will bring the British to chaos.
The first two lines, apparently, should give the astrological date. And the second two really fit Charles I, who was born in 1600 at Dunfermline Castle (Scotland) and with his incompetent rule brought matters to a civil war of 1642 - 1649. Quatrain VIII, 37 says:
Fortress near the Thames
Will fall when the king is locked inside her.
He will be seen near the bridge in a shirt
Facing death. Then they will lock you in the fortress.
This description most likely echoes the following events. On December 23, 1648, Charles, captured by the troops of Parliament, was placed in Windsor Castle, facing the Thames. On January 25, 1649, a special tribunal of parliament sentenced Charles I to death for crimes against the nation. death penalty. On January 30, 1649, Charles I, wearing a white shirt, ascended the eschat and his head was cut off. He was then buried in the chapel of Windsor Castle. This funeral, according to many interpreters, is predicted in the last phrase - “then they will be locked up in the fortress.”
In quatrain IX, 49, the predictor no longer leaves any doubt about the fate of the English king.
Ghent and Brussels will march on Antwerp.
The London Senate will put its king to death.
Salt and wine will rise against him.
Because of them, there is turmoil in the kingdom.
The first line talks about some kind of military action in the Netherlands. Most commentators see here an allusion to the Spanish-Dutch War, which ended with the signing of a peace treaty on January 30, 1649, i.e. exactly a year later. The combination of two events close in date in different countries is generally quite typical for Nostradamus. As for wine and salt, since these two products were the main objects of taxation at that time, they symbolized taxes. Obviously, Nostradamus saw the main reason for the Great English Revolution in unaffordable taxes. Everything else is pretty clear.
The prediction about the execution of the king, according to one of the commentators, is the most scandalous publication missed by the censors of the 16th century. Indeed, for 1577 this situation is unprecedented.
Researchers also include quatrain III, 80 in the history of the Great English Revolution:
The worthy one will be expelled from the English kingdom.
The advisor will be put to death because of anger.
His supporters will be so insignificant
That the bastard will be half accepted.
Here we are talking about Charles I. According to this version, the second line refers to the life of Lord Stafford, the chief adviser to Charles I, whom he handed over to Parliament for execution. His head was cut off. The third line alludes to the betrayal of the Scottish army, which in January 1647 sold Charles I to Parliament for 400 thousand pounds sterling. In the bastard, interpreters of the quatrain saw Cromwell, who would be only half accepted by the English people: he would not become king, but would only bear the title of Protector of England.
Another quatrain is also attributed to Cromwell - VIII, 76:
More a butcher than the king of England,
Born in an insignificant place, he will take over the empire by force.
Born without faith, without law, he will stain the earth with blood.
His time is so near that I sigh.
From the point of view of the Catholic and monarchist Nostradamus, such an assessment of Cromwell was quite natural. The last line of the quatrain is very interesting. Apparently, Nostradamus did not consider the period of 100 years of history that separated his time from the era of Cromwell to be too significant in comparison with the seven thousand years of human history that he described in his Centuries.
With the turbulent history of England in the 17th century. researchers also connect quatrain VIII, 56:
A weak unit will occupy the land.
Residents of high places will make terrible screams.
The large horde of the outer corner will become agitated.
They will fall near Dikebro. Messages are open.
In this prediction, the key word is the mysterious toponym Dinebro. Such locality unknown But already at the beginning of the 18th century. one commentator on Nostradamus suggested that it was an anagram of Dunbar. In this case, the quatrain takes on some meaning. In 1650, King Charles II, son of the executed Charles I, landed in Scotland and quickly assembled a large army. However, at the Battle of Dunbar it was utterly defeated by Cromwell's smaller army (the "weak detachment"). The convoy of the royal army and many documents incriminating various persons then fell into the hands of Cromwell.
Charles II, the first king of the restored English monarchy (1660 - 1685), also has several very specific predictions. The prediction of X, 40 is very interesting:
The young heir to the British kingdom,
Which his dying father recommends.
Lonol will argue with him
And he will demand the kingdom from his son.
If we accept the version that the dying father is Charles I, then his young heir is Charles II. And the one who will argue with father and son for the kingdom is Cromwell, hiding under the pseudonym Lonol. And the name "LONOLE" is an anagram colloquial pronunciation named after Cromwell "Old Noll".
Quatrain X, 4:
At midnight the leader of the army
He will save himself by suddenly disappearing.
Seven years later, his glory is untarnished.
They will never say yes to his return.
This text is interpreted with a typo in the fourth line, which, according to commentators, should read: “...they will say nothing but yes.” In this case, the first two lines can be attributed to the Battle of Worcester (September 3, 1651). Charles II was completely defeated by Cromwell in this battle and, disguised as a commoner, fled. Only after many adventures, in which he was constantly in danger of being captured, did he reach France. On September 3, 1658, exactly seven years after the defeat at Worcester, Cromwell died. A real opportunity opened up for Charles II to challenge power in England, but he was invited to the English throne only in 1660.
Two quatrains, thematically related, also date back to the reign of Charles II.
11, 51:
The blood of the righteous will become the sin of London.
Twenty, three, six will be burned by lightning.
The old lady will fall from her high place.
Many from the same sect will die.
I, 53: 3
Great Plague in a Seaside Town
It will not stop until death is avenged.
The righteous blood of the doomed for a price without guilt.
And (offense) to the Great Lady, who was falsely harmed.
The Old Lady (II, 51) and the Great Lady (II, 53) are, without a doubt, the same person. From the point of view of the devout Catholic Nostradamus, this lady, deposed in England from her throne (“high place”), was undoubtedly identified with the Catholic Church. The blood of the righteous, which is mentioned in both quatrains, is also most likely the blood of Catholics who suffered from religious persecution in the 16th - 17th centuries, but perhaps this concept also includes all the victims of the English revolution (Catholics in the civil war, as a rule, acted on the side of the monarchy).
Retribution for the blood of the righteous and the insults of the Old Lady, according to the predictor, will be the Great Plague (II, 53) and the Great Fire of London (II, 51). Indeed, in April 1665, an epidemic began in London, which was called the Great Plague, and in 1666, the so-called Great Fire broke out in London, destroying most of the city, including the famous St. Pavel. (Some commentators believe that the term "Old Lady" refers to this cathedral.)
Quatrain IV, 89 tells about the misadventures of James II, who succeeded his brother Charles II on the throne.
Thirty in London will form a secret conspiracy
Against your king. Enterprise at sea.
He and his followers will be afraid of death.
A blond king, a native of Frisia, will be elected.
Commentators believe that the events of the so-called “Glorious Revolution” of 1688 - 1689 are quite accurately predicted here, as a result of which the last king of the Stuart dynasty, James II (1685 - 1688), was overthrown. Attempts by Jacob II to put an end to the gains of the Great English bourgeois revolution of 1643 - 1649. and returning to an absolutist form of government ended badly for him. The two leading parties of the state - the Whigs and Tories - united against him. They decided to overthrow James II and invite in his place the husband of his daughter Mary, Prince William III of Orange, Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic.
Frisia - part of Holland - could mean the whole country.) Wilhelm III, judging by the portraits, wore blond wigs. In June 1688, the leaders of the Tories and Whigs sent William III a letter inviting him to come to England with an army and take the local throne. This letter, according to one commentator, had 29 signatures (almost 30). In November 1688, William III with an army of twelve thousand landed in South-West England (“an enterprise at sea”) and took possession of all of England in 40 days without a fight. Abandoned by almost all of his followers, James II fled to France. In January 1689, the English parliament elected William III, along with his wife Mary II, to the vacant throne.
Then will come from outside countries
German prince on the golden throne.
Slavery and waters will meet. The lady is serving.
Her time is no longer admired.
The history of England during the Second World War includes quatrain II, 100:
There is such a terrible noise on the islands,
But only one conspiracy will be heard well.
So great will be the insult of the robbers,
That everyone will unite into a big league.
Nostradamus also has one long-term prediction about England (X, 100):
England will create a great empire,
Almighty (or all-sea) for more than 300 years.
Great forces on sea and land.
The Lusitanians will not be happy about this.
It can be argued that it has completely come true. The mention of the Lusitanians (Portuguese) is especially apt. We are talking about the struggle that the British and their Dutch allies waged at the turn of the 16th - 17th centuries. against the Portuguese, who seized control of the seas washing Asia and Africa. But here it should be noted that the foundations of England’s maritime power were laid already in the era of Nostradamus (although the first maritime power in the world at that time, undoubtedly, was Portugal). Therefore, the last prediction in the book of Nostradamus (100th in the 10th “Century”) gives the impression of a very successful and quite realistic forecast.
Adjacent to this quatrain is an undated, but also flattering for Britain, quatrain X, 42:
The worldly (or humane) kingdom of English origin
He will maintain peace and union in his kingdom.
Will keep the war half within its borders.
It will force them to keep peace for a long time.
However, this prediction can be applied to the USA and the entire Anglo-Saxon world as a whole.
Despite the great popularity of Nostradamus in America, the number of predictions that enthusiastic researchers have been able to link to this country is very small.
So quatrain I, 50 is interpreted as a brief description of the history of the United States.
From the watery triplicity will be born
The one (or that) who makes Thursday his holiday.
His fame, power and might will increase
There is a storm on land and sea against the easterners.
The creature described in the first line, according to the grammatical meaning, can be either animate or inanimate. The main identifying sign here is the holiday on Thursday. It is on Thursday that Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The water trinity refers to the three seas surrounding the United States (more precisely, two oceans and one gulf). The Easterners are the Japanese in World War II.
After 1963, one more was added to the meager set of predictions about America.
VI, 37:
The ancient work will be finished,
Misfortune will fall on the great one from the rooftop.
An innocent person will be accused of this and killed.
The culprit will take refuge in a grove during a light rain.
The character in the second line, according to many commentators, is John Kennedy. The third line character is Lee Oswald, accused without definitive evidence of murdering the president. He was killed by Jack Ruby in front of all of America, who watched it on television.
The word “America” in the time of Nostradamus is still quite new and appears in the “Centuries” only once, in a quatrain, very difficult to understand, which will be discussed in more detail in the chapter “On the Three Antichrists”.
Some researchers attribute prediction VIII, 74 to America:
The king will enter the new land, very far away,
while his subjects will salute him.
His treachery will have such an effect
What will replace holidays and receptions for citizens?
New land, or New World, is indeed a fairly common designation in America. But in explaining the remaining three lines, interpreters do not have a common opinion and a more or less logical version. The new land is also mentioned in quatrain II, 89:
One day the two great leaders will become friends.
Their great power will increase.
The new earth will reach its peak.
The bloody one will be told the number.
According to E. Leoni, this prediction best corresponds to the Anglo-German alliance in 1941. And the Bloody (i.e., Hitler) will be reported on statistics on the growth of the American military industry. M. Morin believes that the days of “Bloody” will simply be numbered from now on.
History of Germany XVI - XIX centuries. in “Centuries” Nostradamus is not touched upon in too much detail. Of all the historical events, without exaggeration, only one can be identified - the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine from France in 1871. Quatrain X, 51 is dedicated to this:
Some of the lowest places in Lorraine
Will be united with the lower Germans.
Through people from the center (residence)
Picardians, Normans, inhabitants of Maine.
And they will join the cantons.
By “lower”, that is, northern Germans, one can understand the kingdom of Prussia, which in 1871 united the scattered German states into the German Empire.
Of the predictions about Germany, the greatest interest of commentators of the 20th century. Naturally, they were evoked by those quatrains that could be tied to Hitler, the Second World War, and the “Third Reich.” In three quatrains there is a character named Hyster. As a matter of fact, this name most likely comes from the ancient name of the Danube - Istr and means “inhabitant of the Danube” or “Danubian”. But since the Danube crosses Austria, Hitler’s homeland, such a nickname is quite appropriate for him. The main thing, according to most commentators, is the consonance of the names “Hister” and “Hitler” and the fact that this character is clearly a big scoundrel striving for world domination. Quatrain II, 24 says:
Beasts, ferocious with hunger, will swim across the rivers.
Most of the land will be against Gister.
The great ones order him to be dragged in an iron cage.
When a child of Germany will not obey any laws.
The crossing of numerous water lines really played a big role in the Second World War. The second line is suitable for describing the anti-Hitler coalition. The fourth line can be attributed to the arbitrariness perpetrated by the “third Reich”. As for the third line, what was predicted in it did not come true. As we mentioned above, in fascist Germany knew and studied the prophecies of Nostradamus, and Hitler took them quite seriously. At the end of the war, the Fuhrer was constantly worried about the thought that if he fell into the hands of the Allies, they would put him in a cage and take him around fairs to show him to the people.
In quatrain IV, 68, the word “Hister” is paired with the Rhine River, and the only intelligible explanation for this fact is that we are not talking about a person, but about the river - Istr (Danube).
In a very close place, not far from Venus (Venus),
Two of the greatest of Asia and Africa,
About whom they will say that they are from Reika and Istra.
Screams, tears on Malta and the Ligurian coast.
However, this does not stop the most ardent fans of Nostradamus. Thus, Erica Cheatham writes:
“The word “Venus” is the key to this quatrain. It probably refers to Venice, thus linking Italy to Hitler. The two dictators met near this city at the Brenner Pass to conclude the Tripartite Pact with Asia, i.e. with the Japanese. The last line refers to the blockade of Malta by the Italians, and the "screams and tears" on the Ligurian coast refer to the Allied bombing of Genoa and the shelling of British warships based in Gibraltar."
In addition to the quatrains dedicated to Gister, researchers attribute several more predictions to Hitler and Nazism. Thus, quatrain III, 76 says:
Different sects will be born in Germany,
Which will come very close to happy paganism.
A captive heart and little profit (or result).
They will return to paying true tithes.
The interest of Nazi ideologists in the restoration of ancient German pagan cults is well known. The expression “captive heart” is quite suitable for describing a totalitarian society, and “small profit” or “little result” also fits well with the “profit” that the German people received from the “thousand-year Reich” that fell 12 years after its founding. In the fourth line, "true tithe" refers to the tribute that Catholics paid to their church. In other words, Nostradamus wants to say that after the dominance of pagan ideology in Germany, the Catholic Church will triumph again. This generally coincides with that important role, which Christian Democratic parties play in modern Germany. Sects in Germany are also spoken of in quatrain III, 67:
A new sect of philosophers
Despising death, gold, honors and riches,
It will not be limited to the German mountains.
Those who follow them (these philosophers) will have the support of the crowds.
To Hitler in the 20th century. Quatrain V, 5 began to be attributed:
Under the pretext of abolishing slavery
He himself usurps the people and the city.
He will make things worse by deceiving a young prostitute.
He will go into the field, reading a false poem.
The first line of this interpretation talks about the Treaty of Versailles, which Hitler campaigned against in the 1920s. The “young prostitute” from the third line was somehow linked to the Weimar Republic in Germany (1918 - 1933). The “false poem” is identified with Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf”. Attracted to Hitler and quatrain I, 9:
For nine years the thin one will hold the kingdom in the world.
Then he will fall into terrible bloodthirstiness.
Because of him, a great people will die without faith and law,
Killed by someone who is much kinder.
The reasoning of the interpreters here went this way: “skinny” means a vegetarian, and a vegetarian means Hitler. True, only six years passed from Hitler’s rise to power (1933) to the outbreak of the Second World War (1939). But the matter can be improved if we start counting the years from the elections of 1930, when the Nazi Party received a significant number of votes and became the second largest party in Germany. The “good-natured” one who would kill him meant Roosevelt.
After Hitler came to power, Nazi propaganda tried to extract from the “Centuries” all the quatrains that could be interpreted in any flattering light for the Fuhrer. So, for example, in quatrain III, 35 it says:
In the very depths of Western Europe
A boy will be born from poor parents,
Who will seduce a great army (or multitude) with his tongue.
His glory will increase even more in the kingdom of the East.
True, in the 19th century. this quatrain was attributed to Napoleon. Another quatrain III, 58 seems to cover the entire biography of Hitler:
Near the Rhine in the Norik mountains
A great one will be born from among the people,
came too late
The one who will defend Sarmatia and Pannonia.
No one will know what happened to him.
Since the Roman province coincides with Austria, Hitler's homeland, the first line cannot be controversial. The fourth line was popular after the war in Nazi circles, where the legend spread that Hitler was alive and hiding in South America. During the Renaissance, Poland and Hungary were called Sarmatia and Pannonia. Thus, from the Nazi point of view, the military actions in Hungary in 1944 - 1945 could be ranked third.
In quatrain VI, 49, Hitler, according to some commentators, appears as a priest of the god of war:
Pontifex Maximus of the Party of Mars
Subdue the borders of the Danube.
The cross will be persecuted and twisted with iron.
Captives (prisoners), gold, diamonds, over one hundred thousand rubies.
With this interpretation, in the third line, which was very difficult to translate, they saw a swastika (a crooked cross), and the fourth line referred to concentration camp prisoners and the property taken from them.
Certain events in the history of the “Third Reich” are associated with quatrain VIII, add. 6:
Alas, how greedy foreign monarchs are. Be careful that they don't come
to your country. There will be terrible dangers for many countries and even for Vienna.
This very clear quatrain may well apply to the annexation of Austria by Germany in 1938.
IX, 90:
Captain of Greater Germany
Shows up to supposedly help
To the King of Kings, (promising) the support of Panponia,
So his rebellion will cause great shedding of blood.
In this quatrain, the term “Greater Germany” is interesting, atypical for the 16th century. For the role of “Captain of Greater Germany”, who arrived to the King of Kings
with a deception mission, Rudolf Hess is usually predicted. His arrival in England in May 1941 was of precisely this nature. King George VI, who was then at the head of the British Empire, fully deserves the title “King of Kings.” And Pannonia (Hungary) was an ally of Germany in 1941.
Erica Cheatham, mentioned above, gives this quatrain a different interpretation: “Hitler invaded Poland under the pretext of providing assistance... Hitler was for some time the king of kings, the lord of everything over which he oversaw. He also captured Hungary and started a war in which about 14 million soldiers on both sides were killed and, by some estimates, as many civilians, if not more."
Let's look at another quatrain, V, 94, which in our opinion is quite interesting:
He will include in Greater Germany
Barbant and Flanders, Gate, Bruges and Boulogne.
Fraudulent truce.
The Grand Duke of Armenia attacks Vienna and Cologne.
Here again we encounter something unusual for the 16th century. the term "Greater Germany". In addition, the “Holy Roman Empire of the German People,” as Germany was then called, included Barbant, Flanders, Ghent, and Bruges (i.e., modern Belgium), and there was no need to annex them.
If we assume that the events of the Second World War are indicated here, then the second line can be considered a prediction of the occupation of Belgium and Northern France (Boulogne) in 1940. The third line then, therefore, refers to the Soviet-German Pact in August 1939 . (“fraudulent truce”). A certain difficulty is presented here by the “Grand Duke of Armenia,” but this can also be somehow circumvented if we assume that Nostradamus confused Stalin’s nationality and made him an Armenian from a Georgian. Armenia is mentioned five times in "Centuries", but Georgia - not once. Then the latter’s attack on Vienna becomes clear
Prophecies connected in one way or another with Italy are second in volume only to predictions on the history of France and account for 18% of all Nostradamus quatrains. They mention all the main regions, mountains, rivers and cities of Italy, designated by ancient or modern names by the author. But the number of predictions that came true is not so many. Quatrain V, 3 says:
In this quatrain, Nostradamus predicts that the Medici dynasty, relatives of Catherine de Medici, who ruled in Florence, will be suppressed and will be replaced, by right of kinship, by a French prince, obviously the son or grandson of Catherine. This gallant prediction should obviously have pleased Catherine. But the most important thing is that it came true - and not even once, but twice, but only much later than Nostradamus and his patroness probably expected.
In 1737, the Medici dynasty, which ruled in Tuscany, the center of which was Florence, with short interruptions since 1434, finally came to an end, and the French prince, Duke Francis of Lorraine, became the Grand Duke of Tuscany. His descendants ruled in Tuscany until 1801. In 1801, Napoleon I turned Tuscany into the kingdom of Etruria and handed it over to the Spanish Bourbons, that is, also to French princes. After the fall of Napoleon I, the descendants of Francis of Lorraine returned to the throne of Tuscany and ruled here until 1859.
Quatrain IV, 37 dates back to the era of the Napoleonic wars in Italy:
Gaul will rush through the mountains in leaps and bounds.
He will take over the great land of Insurbia.
His army will penetrate into the wilderness.
Genoa and Monaco will repel the red fleet.
In May 1800, Napoleon with an army of 40,000 quickly crossed the Saint Bernard Pass and broke into Italy. At this time, the Austrians were besieging Genoa, and the fleet of their British allies attacked Monaco on May 23. This attack was repelled with the help of the French. Meanwhile, Napoleon developed his success and on June 2 occupied Milan, the center of Lombardy, which in ancient times was called Insurbia. The British in the XVIII - XIX centuries. wore red uniforms, and therefore calling their fleet “red” is acceptable for this time. Quatrain II, 99 is curious:
Roman land, according to the interpretation of the augur,
Will suffer greatly from the Gallic people.
But the Celtic nation will be seized with fear at that hour,
When the North Wind drives her army too far.
BY augur Nostradamus apparently means himself. Their descendants, the French, were called Gauls, or Celts. The Roman land meant either all of Italy or the Papal States, which actually suffered from the Napoleonic wars. It was liquidated, and two popes - Pius VI and Pius VII - were successively arrested by Napoleon and kept in prison - the first until his death in 1799, the second until the fall of Napoleon in 1814. But the French people will suffer retribution for this sacrilege , when their army in 1812 gets too far into the country of the North Wind, that is, into Russia.
Some commentators who lived in the 19th century attribute a number of quatrains to a key event in the history of Italy - its unification in the middle of the 19th century.
II, 16:
Naples, Palermo, Sicily, Syracuse,
New tyrants, lightning, heavenly lights.
Strength from London, Ghent, Brussels and Susa.
Great carnage. After the triumph - celebrations.
According to THIS version, the first line mentions the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which until 1859 was ruled by one of the branches of the Bourbon family. And the “new tyrants” are Garibaldi and other revolutionaries who overthrew all the Bourbons, and for this crime, they say, Nostradamus calls “heavenly fire” on their heads. In the third line, London stands for England, Ghent and Brussels for Belgium. With the moral support of these two states, the Kingdom of Savoy (designated by the city of Susa) would unite Italy in 1860 - 1870. Then, naturally, this event will be celebrated with festivities.
From the middle of the 20th century. This quatrain began to be attributed to the events of the Second World War. By “new tyrants” one should now understand the fascists, “heavenly fire” should be interpreted as air bombing, England and its ally Belgium - as military opponents of the “new tyrants”. And the final triumph was Victory Day in May 1945.
In the 20th century a number of quatrains began to be associated with Mussolini and fascist rule in Italy.
III, 63:
The Roman Empire will humiliate itself,
Following in the footsteps of its great neighbor.
Hidden civil hatred and debate
They will prolong the madness of the jesters.
I, 59:
Exiles will be sent to the islands
At the coming of a more cruel monarch
Two will be killed and burned,
Because they were not moderate in their conversations.
III, 48:
700 prisoners, roughly bound.
Half of them were destined to die.
Near hope may soon come to them,
But not before the fifteenth death.
In quatrain III, 63, researchers saw a hint that fascist Italy would trail behind Nazi Germany. I, 59 and III, 48 speak of terror. The quatrains can be applied to both Italy and Germany, but the Italian connection is more plausible, because under Mussolini political prisoners were exiled to the islands (I, 59), where they were liberated by the Allies in 1943.
In the middle of the 16th century. the capital of Switzerland, Geneva, was the center of extreme Protestantism in Europe under the leadership of fellow countryman Nostradamus John Calvin (1509-1564). Both Calvin himself and his students had a negative attitude towards astrology. It was from the circle of people close to Calvin that the first pamphlets directed against the famous astrologer came out. It is unclear whether Nostradamus met Calvin before he emigrated from France in 1535, but they probably met during Nostradamus's travels abroad in 1538 - 1544.
Nostradamus's hatred of Calvin perhaps goes beyond what any orthodox but generally indifferent Catholic can feel. It is clearly personal. Therefore, it is not surprising that Nostradamus devoted a fair amount of predictions to Switzerland and Geneva, in particular.
Many of the quatrains reflect Nostradamus' hope that the Genevans would come to their senses and put an end to Calvin. Thus, in quatrain I, 47 it says:
Sermons from Lake Geneva irritate people.
They will drag on for days, then weeks,
Then for months, then for years. Then everything will collapse.
The magistrates will condemn their absurd laws.
And in quatrain I, 61 Nostradamus continues this thought:
Pathetic, unfortunate republic
The new magistrate will ruin.
There are a great number of them (citizens) in bitter exile.
This will force the Swiss to break their great treaty.
As you know, Calvin was invited to Geneva to instruct its citizens in the faith in 1536. But the rules that he introduced there, strict police supervision over any step of citizens not only in public, but also in personal life, soon caused such an outburst of indignation that in the spring of 1538 he was asked to leave.
However, Calvin's supporters in the fall of 1541 achieved a new invitation to Geneva, after which he, until his death in 1546, remained the absolute dictator of this city-state. Many of his opponents had to go into exile, as mentioned in the third line. But Nostradamus did not lose hope that the patience of the Genevans would finally be exhausted, they would break the agreement with Calvin, concluded in 1541, and again expel him from the city.
This way Calvin will not be expelled. He will be buried in Geneva, but by mistake he will be buried alive. Soon after this, the Genevans would come to their senses, renounce Calvinism, condemn the founder of the heresy and dig up his coffin, apparently to burn him posthumously (such things happened in the Middle Ages and later). But then it turns out that the villain has already been punished. Waking up in a coffin, he lived for a long time, eating with his own hands.
At the same time, Nostradamus warned the Genevans that if they hesitate to deal with Calvin, then the entire city will answer for his crimes.
IX, 44:
Run, run away from Geneva, every single one of you.
Saturn will turn from golden to iron.
Rypoz will destroy everyone who is against him.
Before that comes, there will be signs in the sky.
The prediction warns the Genevans, firstly, that the new Golden Age promised by Calvin (the age of Saturn) will turn out to be not Golden at all, but Iron. And, secondly, that a certain mysterious Rypoz will put an end to little Geneva in a treacherous and treacherous manner. Raypoz is an anagram of the name Zopyr. Zopyrus is the faithful servant of Darius. According to the story of Herodotus, he helped this Persian king take possession of impregnable Babylon. He cut off his nose and ears and came to Babylon as a defector. Having gained the confidence of the Babylonians, he found a way to undermine their defenses and surrender the city to the Persians. Thus, the name Zopyrus became a household name during the time of Nostradamus and meant betrayal and treachery. It was used in one of his emblems by King Philip II of Spain, who brutally dealt with the Calvinists.
In the 16th century Spain played one of the leading roles in European political life. Therefore, in terms of frequency of mentions in the “Prophecies” of Nostradamus, it ranks third. The words “Spain” and “Spaniards” appear 28 times in his quatrains and twice in his “Message to Henry II.”
However, real historical events before the 20th century. in quatrains they are almost not visible. As for the 20th century, almost all predictions attributed by commentators relate to the period between the two world wars. For example, quatrain IX, 78 says:
Greek lady of ugly beauty,
Happy from countless fans,
Transferred to the Kingdom of Spain,
She will be captured, imprisoned and die a miserable death.
Some believe that the “Greek lady” with such a unique appearance is democracy that will perish in Spain after the victory of the Nazis.
The fascist dictatorships in Spain and Italy also include quatrain III, 68:
People without a leader in Spain, Italy.
Dead vanquished inside the peninsula.
Their dict. betrayed by irresponsible rage.
Swimming in blood. Blood is everywhere.
"Dictation." in the third line - this is, of course, a dictator. He is opposed to the good leader who will be missed by the people of Italy and Spain.
Some interpreters of Nostradamus’ predictions believe that quatrain VI, 64 fits the history of the Spanish Civil War:
The established peace will not be respected
All signatories will act fraudulently.
In peace and truce. Land and sea are protesting.
Barcelona captured the fleet cunningly.
The history of fascism and the Spanish Civil War also includes quatrains IX, 15 and IX, 16.
IX, 15:
Near Perpignan the Reds
The people of the center are completely ruined, driven far away.
Three were cut into pieces, five received little help.
For the lord and prelate of Burgundy.
There is the following interpretation of this quatrain. At the beginning of 1939, the retreating troops of the Spanish Republic and refugees from Franco crossed the French border just in the Perpignan area. There they were detained by the French authorities and placed in special camps. This version is confirmed by the following quatrain (IX, 16), where you can read the names of General Francisco Franco (1892 - 1975) and General Miguel Primo de Rivera (1870 - 1930) - two Spanish fascist dictators.
An assembly will emerge from the Franco fortress (or from Castelfranco).
A dissatisfied envoy will cause a split.
Ribera's (or Riviera's) men will fight,
And they will prohibit entry into the big bay.
Portugal is mentioned in the Prophecies in only six quatrains. Only one of them relates directly to the history of this country; in the rest it is mentioned in connection with stories about other countries.
In a year when Mercury, Mars, Venus are in clear motion.
The line of the great monarch will not be interrupted.
Chosen by the Portuguese people near Cadiz,
He will reign until he is very old.
The first line here gives the astrological dating. Everything else is quite clear. A situation close to the one described actually took place in Portugal in the 16th century. In 1578, the Portuguese king Sebastian I went on a crusade against the Moors. This campaign ended in disaster. At the Battle of Alcazar (in Morocco), the Portuguese army was completely defeated, and the king himself went missing. His uncle, the elderly Cardinal Henry, who ascended the throne after Sebastian I, died two years later.
After this, there were no direct heirs to the Portuguese throne. A dynastic dispute ensued between distant relatives (the Dukes of Parma, the Dukes of Braganza, etc.). The winner was the Spanish King Philip II. His rights were even more dubious than those of the other claimants, but he had a large army. In 1580, Philip sent troops to Portugal led by the Duke of Alba. Having occupied the country, Alba declared Philip II the legitimate monarch of Portugal. This is what the whole election came down to. Portugal's independence was restored only 60 years later, in 1640.
“East” and “North” - this is what Russia was called during the time of Nostradamus.
And here is another prediction that commentators of the 20th century. attributed to A.V. Suvorov.
II, 29:
The Eastern (man) will leave his abode,
He will cross the Apennine Mountains to see Gaul.
Pierces the sky, waters and snow,
And he will strike everyone with his rod.
We have already discussed quatrains that can be associated with the Patriotic War of 1812 above, in the section dedicated to Napoleon I. In one of them (IV, 82) Slavonia (or “Slavic land”) was mentioned, as the predictor designated the name of Russia. This toponym is found in Nostradamus in quatrain I, 14 and confirms the correctness of this assumption:
U Slavic people instead of songs, hymns and lamentations.
Captured by princes and lords - in dungeons. (Or - captive princes and lords - in dungeons
Headless idiots in the future
They will accept (this) as a divine revelation.
If we assume that the princes and lords in the second line are not the punishing, but the suffering side (the text allows for both interpretations), then, from the point of view of a convinced monarchist, we get a picture of the October Revolution and the Red Terror. In the last two lines, in this case, the author evaluates the theory of scientific communism in energetic terms.
But such an interpretation became possible only in the 20th century. And in the 17th century. Etienne Jaubert, adhering to a more natural interpretation of the second line (it is not the princes who will be imprisoned, but they themselves who will imprison someone), explained quatrain X, 62 by the events of the 16th century. The Huguenots, with their absurd teaching about the reformation of the church, will suffer deserved punishment from the authorities. In the 19th century A. Lepeletier attributed the same quatrain to the events of the Great French Revolution. His villains imprisoned are no longer Huguenots, but Jacobins.
Some dubious teaching is mentioned in quatrain VI, 72, which some commentators attribute to the Tsarina and Rasputin:
Thanks to the feigned fury of divine revelation,
The great man's wife will be raped.
Judges are willing to condemn such a doctrine.
She will become a victim of an ignorant people.
The revolution of 1917 and its consequences include a whole group of predictions by Nostradamus, which describe all kinds of social upheavals. One of these predictions (I, 3) sounds like this:
When the whirlwind overturns the stretcher
And their faces will be hidden by cloaks,
New people will begin to pester the republic.
Reds and whites will judge differently.
There are several other quatrains that contain the term “red” (“reds”). In this group, the most interesting is quatrain VIII, 19:
To support the shaken great chasuble (or mantle, or cloak),
To purify this, the Reds march.
The family will be almost destroyed by death.
The Red-Reds will destroy the Reds.
After the events of 1937, this quatrain began to be attributed to the history of Russia, to Stalin’s repressions (“the super-reds” simply exterminated the “reds”).
VIII, 80:
The blood of innocent widows and maidens
So much evil has been done by Great Red.
The holy images are immersed in burning wax.
Everyone is stricken with horror, no one moves.
In this quatrain, Nostradamus paints a terrible picture of terror, in particular, the persecution of the church. The best candidate for the role of “Great Red,” of course, is J.V. Stalin.
Let us finally consider the only prediction of Nostradamus that contains a Russian toponym.
III, 95:
(People) will see More's law decline
In front of (the face of) another, more seductive.
Boris Fen will be the first to give in.
Through gifts and more engaging language.
Borysthenes is the ancient name of the Dnieper. Strictly speaking, it is difficult to say which state Nostradamus had in mind, since in the 16th century. The Dnieper flowed through the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Nostradamus usually refers to religion as a law, but here it can be interpreted in a broader sense, as a teaching. For the time of Nostradamus, who did not know the word “communism,” “More’s teaching” was a good synonym for it.
Sovietologists, inclined to believe the prophecies of Nostradamus, have long chosen this quatrain as a prediction of the inevitable fall of communism and its replacement by a more attractive (market) system.
