Trivia of Nostradamus

In 1555 Nostradamus wrote all his predictions in a book called “Le Prophecies”. He wrote his predictions in four line poems called “Quatrains.” The quatrains were then grouped into groups of 100, called “Centuries.” Here are 10 Timeless Lessons from him.

Lesson 1: “Arrived too late. Act already done.”Nostradamus taught us to anticipate the change and follow the trend on time. Following popular trends, he wrote an almanac for 1550, for the first time Latinizing his name from Nostredame to Nostradamus. He was so encouraged by the almanac's success that he decided to write one or more annually.

Henri II (1519-59),King of FranceDiane De Poitiers Mistress of

Henri II, King ofFrance

The prophecy that would make Michel de Nostradame famous in his time was the quatrain of Century I, 35, which predicted the death of King Henry II of France (This prophecy was published in 1555 by Nostradamus, 4 years before the King’s death, far enough in the future to be considered a prophecy by some people.)

On 1559 King Henry participated in a tournament held during the festival of the marriages of his sister Marguerite de Valois, the Duke of Savoy and his daughter Elizabeth to the King of Spain. Both King Henry II of France as his young opponent, the Earl of Montgomery, had carved lions on their shields and armor ( "golden cage"). 

On 30 June 1559, the young Florentine bride of the French King Henri II suddenly found herself a widow. In the failing light, her dashing and headstrong 40-year-old husband was killed in a friendly joust by the young captain of his Scottish guard whose lance accidentally pierced the king’s eye through his metal visor. In a tragedy said to have been foretold by Nostradamus.

Lesson 2: As long as you have life, live happily. Success is your by-product. Failure is your lesson.After Nostradamus’s wife and children died in 1534, presumably from the Plague, he had made up his mind for long time and he finally settled in Salon-de-Provence in 1547, where he married again with a rich widow named Anne Ponsarde, with whom he had six children – three daughters and three sons.

On Sunday morning, the 2nd September 1666, the destruction of medieval London began with one simple spark. In five days a cataclysmic fire destroyed the city of Shakespeare. An area of one and a half miles by half a mile lay in ashes; 373 acres inside the city walls and 63 acres outside, 87 churches destroyed and 13,200 houses.

The French Revolution would serve to enhance Nostradamus reputation as a seer further. For ten days following the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, visitors to the fortress in Paris filed past a table upon which was a copy of The Centuries opened to the page of Nostradamus’ predictions describing the French Revolution written over 200 years earlier.

Lesson 3: Accept the change, clam the situation, fix the problem, find the solution and be flexible to the strategy.On his return in 1545, he assisted the prominent physician Louis Serre in his fight against a major plague outbreak in Marseille. After his expulsion, Nostredame continued working, presumably still as an apothecary, and became famous for creating a "rose pill" that supposedly protected against the plague.

The First Antichrist “PAU, NAY, LORON” when rearranged becomes NAPAULON ROY, or Napoleon the king, given the Corsican spelling of his name, Napauleone. The text also describes him as a man of ‘fire’, or of war, rather ‘than of the blood’, or of royal lineage. The ‘Piuses’ of the third line are the Popes Pius VI and Pius VII, who were both imprisoned by Napoleon as is implied by the last line. 

The Second Antichrist “Hister” supposedly refers to Hitler and his occupation of Europe during World War II.

National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi) or  The “Crooked Cross” called by

Nostradamus

Lesson 4: Respect the principles, because they come frommany lessons of others. Follow them and ignore your ego. In fact, his relationship with the Church was always excellent. He didn’t do anything different from what other normal people did. His brief imprisonment at Marignane in late 1561 came about purely because he had published his 1562 almanac without the prior permission of a bishop, contrary to a recent royal decree.

The Third Antichrist - The first person was Suddam, since Mabus was mirrored as “Sudam”

The next people are George W. Bush and Osama Bin Laden. Some Nostradamus followers believe that "Mabus" could come from OsaMA and BUSh. The death of which would cause some horrible event to take place.

Now some intelligent fools have come up with a new perspective for his quatrains. Its speculated that the first black president of the United States of America is the third Antichrist (the first two being Napoleon and Hitler).Mabus = Barack Hussein Obama or Obama Barack from USA

Lesson 5: Know how is better than know what. Know what is general, but know how is special. He began his project of writing a book of one thousand mainly French quatrains. Feeling vulnerable to religious fanatics, however, he devised a method of obscuring his meaning by using "Virgilianized" syntax, word games and a mixture of other languages such as Greek, Italian, Latin, and Provençal. This made him survive throughout his life.

This quatrain predicts the discovery of Pasteur. As a doctor, Nostradamus was himself very concerned with the mysterious nature of the plague and apparently made a link between running water, still water and the persistence of the plague.

This quatrain refers to the timing of the assassination. As per his prediction - JFK was shot in the day, at 12 noon, and his brother Robert Kennedy was shot at night, at 1 am. That year there were student riots in London and Paris (conflicts in Reims and London. There was also a big flood in Florence in 1968 that prompted fears of pestilence. 

The father of Dodi al-Fayed, the owner of Harrod’s department store, is named Mohammed, the name of the Islamic Prophet (the man with the prophet’s name. ) He is with her until her day of death (day of rest.) In this verse he gives the month of Diana’s death, it is the last number of the verse. If you add the 2 to 28, you have 30. Diana died on 8/31. We can create 8/30 by adding the numbers making him only one day off

Lesson 6: Even though you don’t have mission because you don’t know where you will go. Manage what you are and what you have now at best.Nostradamus himself encouraged this belief. Catherine de Médicis, the queen consort of King Henri II of France, was one of Nostradamus' greatest admirers. At the time, he feared that he would be beheaded, but by the time of his death in 1566, Catherine had made him Counselor and Physician-in-Ordinary to her son, the young King Charles IX of France.

This quatrain is off as there were only seven crew members on board (or were there?) However the rest of it is eerily accurate. Separated from control and advice refers to the fact that they were out of communication with NASA Ground Control. “Their fate was sealed on departure ” certainly gives you something to think about if you consider that afterwards, videos showed flames escaping while the rocket was still on the launching pad.

Lesson 7: The softer you treat your mind, the stronger it becomes and the more power it contributes to your life.Nostradamus describes "emptying my soul, mind and heart of all care, worry and unease through mental calm and tranquility"

From the sky will come a great King of Terror... The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city... In the city of York there will be a great collapse

The September 11 attacks (often referred to as September 11th or 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by Al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.

"In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb", The third big war will begin when the big city is burning" - Nostradamus 1654

The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying nearby buildings and damaging others. 

Lesson 8: Learn from others’ lessons and create your own significant that determines your value.Nostradamus never stopped his learning, until he died in 1566. The knowledge that he brought out to use for his time is the quatrains dealing with disasters, such as plagues, earthquakes, wars, floods, invasions, murders, droughts, and battles.

Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces on an invasion through Europe.This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together. 

Lesson 9: Don’t just hold your life, manage it!!!Nostradamus wisely managed his life, until his death. When you see a brilliant interpretation of one of Nostradamus' quatrains. It will "prove" one of two things to you, Nostradamus was even more insightful than imagined or the quatrains are obscure enough that they can be interpreted to predict any occurrence.

World War 3 shall be different from World War I and World War II. The earlier World Wars were fought for establishing the supremacy of one country over the other. World War 3 shall be a fight to the finish between Christianity and Islam. Based on the predictions of Nostradamus as of now... World War 3 is most likely to happen around 2012.

'End of Days' December 21, 2012. A date predicted by the Mayans.

Lesson 10: Live simply and have less expense than earning.In late June 1556, Nostradamus summoned his lawyer to draw up an extensive will bequeathing his property plus 3,444 crowns (around US$300,000 today) – minus a few debts – to his wife pending her remarriage, in trust for her sons pending their twenty-fifth birthdays and her daughters pending their marriages.

The night before Nostradamus’ death he predicted that he would not wake up next morning. He was correct.

He also predicted when his tomb would be exhumed. There was a legend that a person who drank from his skull would inherit his powers and then die…Sure enough in 1791,during the French revolution a soldier drank from his skull. He was shot in the back near his tomb.

"When suffering is on all sides and man hungers for the unmanifested mystery in all phenomenon, He seeks reflection of the Divine. God's higher truths are cloaked in his creation and the message is in the stars."    Nostradamus
