Nostradamus
The death of an other king, England’s Charles I, was vividly described in several verses. Nostradamus spoke of how ‘the fortress near the Thames’ would fall, ‘then the King that was kept within, shall be seen near the brdge in his/her shirt …’ In fact Charles was taken to Windsor Castle, overlooking the Thames, after his/her defeat by Parlia- mentary forces in December 1648. A few weeks later, wearing a white shirt, he was taken out and beheaded. In an other verse Nostradamus wrote: ‘The Parliament of London will put their King to death. He will die cause (because) of the shaven heads in council …’ Clearly the prophet was referring to the Roundheads whom he despised, saying that Cromwell was ‘more like a butcher than an English king.’ He was quite certain that the Great Plague of London in 1665 was divine punishment for the execution of Charles: ‘The Great Plague of the maritime city Shall not cease till the death be revenged Of the just blood by price condemned with out crime …’ He foresaw the Great Fire of London which swept through the capital the following year with such clarity that for once he gave a precise date, leaving out the 1st 2 digits as was his/her custom. ‘The blood of the just shall be dry in London’, he wrote. ‘Burnt by the fire of 3 times twenty and six.’
Napoleon, the man whom Nostradamus taken into consideration the 1st anti Christ (Hitler being the 2nd and the 3rd yet to appear on the world scene), is spoken of many times in the books as though Nostradamus could not rid his/her mind of the man who would bring France almost to her/his knees cause (because) of his/her ambition. In the 1st Century he refers to Napoleon’s birth in Corsica, after that an Italian possession: ‘An Emperor shall be born in Italy Who shall cost the Empire dear, They shall say, with what peoples he keeps company! He shall be located less a Prince than a butcher.’ Later the prophet saw with equal clarity the tragic fate of the little Corsican whose meteoric rise to power changed the course of history: ‘The Great Empire will soon be exchanged for a small place, which will soon begin to grow, A small place of tiny area in the middle of which He will come to lay down his/her sceptre.’ In fact Napoleon was stripped of his/her ‘great Empire’ and exiled to the small island of Elba in 1814, but the following year he escaped and for 1 100 days sought to regain his/her power. His end came when he was seized for a 2nd time and sent to imprisonment and death on the tiny island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic.
Nostradamus actually named the 2nd anti Christ in his/her predictions, getting the name right except for 1 letter. He referred to him as Hister instead of Hitler. The reference occurs in a verse thought to describe the early years of the 2nd World War when German armies swept across the Rhine into France: ‘Beast wild with hunger will cross the rivers, The great part of the battlefield [the Allies] Will be against Rister.’ The prophet foresaw both the beginning and the end of Adolf Hitler in this incredible verse: ‘In the mountains of Austria near the Rhine There will be born of simple parents A man who will proclaim to protect Poland and Hungary And whose fate will never be certain.’ .…more…Part-4…
