Looking forward to your explanation of why the term millenium doesn't apply to the year 1000 but does apply to the bimillenial year 2000. I'll bet it's a doozy.

You are quite welcome to google the origiinal meaning of Millennium (you might even try spelling it correctly to avoid more confusion), and ascertain that I am correct in that the original definition is what I said it was.

No, the year "2,000" is a man made date based on a calander invented by Dionysius Exiguus (Dennis the Little or Dennis the Short), 1,500 years ago. Again, google this and look it up. Don't take my word for it. Research is your friend.

Except that's not what the quatrain says. Here's what it says:

and the translation:

That we can pull out of their graves

I'm afraid I missed the Great Revolution of 2007. Actually, how do you know that Nostradamus is even referring to 2007? He could be talking about 3007, or even the year eleventy-seven. Every thousand years, there's a millenium, you know. Nostradamus did not say that this revolution would happen in the second millennial EAGE.

In addition, the way your version is translated indicates that there are Games of Slaughter, not that there are games around the time of slaughter. Even if I'm willing to accept the word "Age" as a substitute for the nonsense word "EAGE" that's in the original quatrain (and I'm not), there is still no mention of any bodies rising from the grave around the millenium. Rather, there's a mention of something or someone being pulled out of their graves (The old millenium? The losers in the games of slaughter? Victims of the Great Revolution of 2007? Nobody knows). This quatrain is essentially meaningless unless you're willing to twist, pull, and stretch the actual words that Nostradamus wrote to mean what you want them to mean.

Also, why are you skipping over Quatrain 72 in the same Century? Let me refresh your memory:

Originally Posted by Nostradamus

Century X, Quatrain 72

Du ciel viendra un grand roi deffraieur.
Resusciter le grand roi d'Angolmois.
Avant que Mars regner par bonheur.

The translation:

Originally Posted by Google Translate

The year one thousand nine hundred ninety nine seven months
From the sky will come a great King deffraieur.
Life the great king of Angolmois.
Before Mars to reign by good luck.

But not only did a great King of Terror (if you're willing to substitute the word "terror" for the word "deffraieur" in Nostradamus' original quatrain, which I am not) fail to come from the sky to bring life back to the King of the Mongols (again, provided that you're willing to accept the nonsense word "Angolmois" as an anagram of "Mongolois", which I am not), he neither reigned in March of 2000, nor did he reign under the ancient Roman God of War by good luck, not having had the luck to drop from the sky or exist in any way that we can determine by examining the most important news stories of the year one thousand nine hundred ninety nine:

1. Clinton impeachment trial 1,741 2. Columbine 1,588 3. Kosovo 1,135 4. Y2K and turning millennium 1,002 5. JFK Jr. dies flying plane 710

I'm sure that a reigning King of Terror dropping from the skies would have driven news of the Clinton blowjob right off the pages in a manner of minutes. Or was JFK Jr. the King of Terror that dropped from the skies? Even if he was, I hardly see what the Mongols got out of it

Why didn't you mention this quatrain, Rwalsh, since it's presumably on the same page in the book, only two away from the one you did quote? After all, it's one of the few that clearly and definitively gives a date that was far in the future of Nostradamus' own lifetime! Previously published Nostradamus books made a really big deal out of this quatrain due to the clarity of its date (rare in a Nostradamus quatrain) and its prediction of destruction and doom (not so rare for a Nostradamus quatrain).

Did you ignore it because it's so clearly wrong, whereas the one you chose might still have a chance to be right some day?

So being Buried, and crushed to Death. Like Nostradamus Predicted!

The quatrain says nothing whatsoever about anyone being crushed to death in whatever event it was predicting.

Anyway, do you have any evidence that you predicted it before the event? Did you actually tell anyone?

There is no such thing as a "non-future prediction". Predictions, by definition, are made before the event they predict. That's what the "pre" bit means.

How about, if I provide firm evidence that I predicted specific and exact results of future events on this very Board back in 2006, and not just generalisations, and then provide links to show evidence that what I predicted came true, would you be willing to accept that I can predict the future?

I have unassailable evidence that I DID predict the future, way back in 2006 and it is on this very Forum, and I predicted specific results before the event.

My post was "Australia to win the ICC Cup, regain the Ashes, then go on and win the World Cup to make it three in a row."

And guess what? my very specific prediction came true. I guess that makes me better than Nosti hey? I will save the link until somebody requests it, but it it here on these Boards. I am so much totally better than Nosti! (And REO Speedwagon)

Dude,
This is JREF; it's where irrational beliefs come to die. Look at it this way, if your ideas can survive here you're probably onto something.

Now, do you have any evidence that you deciphered this quatrain thingy prior to the earthquake. Do you have a post about it at some other forum or a some other documentation that predates the earthquake?

The word is 'millennium'. It comes from the Latin mille (thousand) and annus (year) and means a period of one thousand years. Just because the Gregorian/Julian calendars reached 2000 at a particular time, measured inaccurately from the supposed birth of a Jewish prophet, has no significance whatever. Pick an event and any date can be a millennial anniversary. For example, supposing Nostradamus was predicting the future, perhaps he was referring to the millennial anniversary of the founding of Barking Abbey in east London? Then the year in question would be 1666....

Instead of attempting to fit past events to Nostradamus's 'predictions' who not made a prediction, from them, one an event that hasn't happened yet? Say the forthcoming US elections.

[edona7]

OK, I've been reading this thread since the beginning, and one of the things I'm having trouble understanding is - RWalsh has said several times that Nostradamus didn't always speak of the future in his Quatrains. So, how do we know which unit of 1000 years he was referring to as Millennial (assuming we don't use the classic, 1000 year reign of Christ definition, which was probably a definition well known to him)?

I feel the Quatrains are- mixed up. Century I would label as the years predated back to 1000 years in this area.

Century X- will appear to have some correct timeframe- So For that Century X is 2000. and the Rest should be catagorized for Century V- the 1500s.

So If I research an even that happend in 1400's Then should most likely be placed in Century IV.
so if it extends past Century 12. Then this means 2200 years.

So Assuming that Century X is 2000 year and that the Quatrain was placed there as a not so clouded but recognizable event that soon occurred.

The Question is.. Why Write Centuries? If not in meaning to calculate the 100years as a Century.


But.. some things trouble me...

Nostradamus writes
They are perpetual prophecies, for they extend from now to the year 3797

So Nostradamus says specifically.. "FOR THEY EXTEND FROM NOW-"

Now meaning the time he wrote the message From Salon this first of March, 1555. From the Preface.

So.. Calculated from now to 3797. So maybe

3797 - 1555 = 2242

So really I think he is saying that in total he records the past 2242 Years. in 12 Centuries.

Again the Question remains is why he wrote- They Extend Now? but really they extend all the research points that these years given are the calculations and understanding how the Centuries work.

And Again, How can the Prophecies Extend from Now-1555. When really there are prophicies dated back to the 1200s and less. Ya- Basically He was just clouding up his meaning. To truly understand the work is to analyze even the slightest word/wording.

Not to necessarily say the World will end in 2242- but thats how far Nostradamus was able to record. or atleast to my knowledge I havnt been able to find anything out conclusively yet. about that far future..

Century I - 1100 Century
Century II - 1200 Century
Century III - 1300 Century
Century IV - 1400 Century
Century V - 1500 Century
Century VI - 1600 Century

However, he needn't have worried, since he was really just a bad astrologer, bad doctor*, and bad poet. The only thing that Nostradamus was ever any good at was bull-******** people, much like he's managed to bull-**** you some 444 years after his death. Had you going for at least the last two years, hasn't he

_{*He wasn't actually a doctor at all; he was expelled from Medical School at University of Montpelier in 1529. Didn't stop him from calling himself a doctor and practicing medicine though.}

And I feel that you are mixed up. Why do you believe that your confused labelling of some ill-conceived notion that you can't even express in English would be of any use at all to anyone, anywhere, ever?

so if it extends past Century 12. Then this means 2200 years.

So.. Calculated from now to 3797. So maybe

3797 - 1555 = 2242

So really I think he is saying that in total he records the past 2242 Years. in 12 Centuries.

And Again, How can the Prophecies Extend from Now-1555. When really there are prophicies dated back to the 1200s and less. Ya- Basically He was just clouding up his meaning. To truly understand the work is to analyze even the slightest word/wording.

Century I - 1100 Century
Century II - 1200 Century
Century III - 1300 Century
Century IV - 1400 Century
Century V - 1500 Century
Century VI - 1600 Century
Century VII - 1700 Century
Century VIII - 1800 Century
Century IX- 1900 Century
Century X - 2000 Century
Century XI - 2100 Century
Century XII - 2200 Century

Well this is clearly wrong. Everyone knows the world is going to end in 2012.

No really, I'd like to know about this earthquake you predicted. You said your decipher predicted it before it happened. Do you have evidence of this. Did you post something about an earthquake happening at a specific date and place prior to the earthquake happening?

It doesn't even have to be a year. It could be any date with a "7" in it.

Or, it could be an address.

Or, the "seventh" country among a completely arbitrary group of countries.

Or, it could refer to Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager.

That's the beauty of Nostradamus' style!

@ Apology

Ive used Google Translate many times- And its sometimes translates the meaning as best as possible, But it has many, much flaws.
Ive tried it myself talking to others in there language and it comes out as something different alot as well.
Thanks for your interest and courtesy

aggle-rithm - Star Trek couldn't possibly be the answer

Craig4 - I did have some articles, yet there no longer available. Sorry.

Rrose Selavy - This Love Jam sounds terrific. But im sure it was a fairly effective myth back in Nostradamus time, Surely it must have been what is called today as Viagra. Many men are plagued with not enough energy in that area- And.. perhaps back in those times even before they had some treatments for it. But Ive also read that Nostradamus had other books,. like on good hygiene as well, which might I add was a very uncommon practice during the Black Plague in my opinion.... Again Thank you.

Black plague? Do you mean the bubonic plague or the black death? If so, to which outbreak are you referring? The Justinian plague of the 6th century, the massive outbreak in the 1300's or the random outbreaks that followed?

I'd also like to know which books you've read that discuss the hygiene of the 6th, 14th or 17th centuries. Or, if you prefer, any books you've read that discuss common cures or medical practices of the mid 15th century. If you're going to say that the other books of Nostradamus included unusual or uncommon information, then you need a comparison to what else was being taught.

I heard of some books, Perhaps if you read my statement. I SAID I HEARD OF SOME BOOKS THAT HE WROTE ON HYGENE AND SUCH?

I HEARD- I SAID I HEARD ARE YOU DAFFED?

So in what way did you hear of them? You don't know what they are but you're sure they exist. What kind of person would believe in something without any proof whatsoev-

Well, that's the problem, isn't it? When you read any book about Nostradamus, you're trusting that the translator hasn't twisted the translation to support their own contentions of what they think it means, aren't you? How do you know, when reading Cheetham's translations, that she didn't have an interpretation in mind before she even attempted to translate a particular quatrain, and translated it in such a fashion that it supported her original interpretation? You don't.

At least, with Google Translate, in spite of its flaws, you know that there isn't a human being with an agenda behind it, twisting the translations to suit their own purposes. Google Translate doesn't care if its translating Nostradamus, an international love-note, or today's Racing Form---there's no agenda, it just does as it's programmed to do.

Nostradamus translators and editors often based their books off of previous works by other translators. Initially, this seems reasonable--saves time and duplication of effort, does it not? However, this is a sloppy way to do research, because mistakes of the past are carried forward into the present and beyond. For instance, Cheetham's famous Hister/Hitler prophecy:

Originally Posted by Nostradamus

Century II, Quatrain 24
Bestes farouches de faim fleuves tranner,
Plus part du champ encontre Hister sera.
En caige de fer le grand fera treisner,
Quand rien enfant de Germain observera.

Now here's what Cheetham says it says:

Originally Posted by Erika Cheetham

Century II, Quatrain 24
Beasts wild with hunger will cross the rivers,
the greater part of the battlefield will be against Hitler.
He will drag the leader in a cage of iron,
When the child of Germany observes no laws.

Now here's the part where we're supposed to rock back on our heels, gobsmacked, because Nostradamus predicted Hitler by name. OMG, HITLER!!!

Except, you know, he really did no such thing. The word Hister is the name of a portion of the Danube river in Latin. Nostradamus even clearly calls the Danube "Hister" in his almanacs. However, used out of context, Cheetham can make excuses for Nostradamus and declare it's a misspelling (after all, he was predicting WWII!!!) and twist the meaning of the quatrain from a battle along the Danube (likely) into a prediction of Hitler's reign (less likely).

Let's pretend, however, that the quatrain does refer to Hitler, and look at some of the other details. I don't recall any battles in WWII in which the leader of the opposition was dragged in a cage. It simply didn't happen. And what, exactly, does "When the child of Germany knows no laws" mean? For there were certainly many, very strict laws in Nazi Germany, and if one broke them, one was punished severely, even to death.

Other than using the word "Hitler", which I've shown is a false interpretation, this most famous of quatrains is entirely meaningless. And yet, modern interpreters base their work upon Cheetham's faulty work and continue to trumpet this quatrain as the definitive prediction of Hitler. Cheetham's own work was based on previous faulty works, and there's much to suggest that Nostradamus based the Prophecies on the works of older prophets, philosophers, and historians.

In short, it's a crock, based on a crock, and twisted by mistranslation into a bigger crock. Please don't waste as much of your time on Nostradamus and his so-called prophecies as I did. There's too many things that are more constructive, important, and entertaining that you could do.

I find it very strange that you've spent years trying to decipher the works of a 15th century author without once picking up a history book. How can you expect to understand him when you don't even know what life was like during his time?

Which would be another way of saying, no. No you didn't predict an earthquake before it happened.
