**Introduction**

The 16th century French
doctor Michel de Notredame ( Nostradamus ) is widely
considered to be the greatest prophet of all time, though
Christians balk at the claim (dogma rules that the Bible is
foremost). Nostradamus began to discover his prophetic
abilities in 1547:

"In 1554, I decided to give
way and, by dark and cryptic sentences, tell of the causes of
the future mutation of mankind, especially the most urgent
ones... in a manner that would not upset fragile sentiments.
All had to be written under a cloudy form, above all things
prophetic...

His predictions "extend from
now to the year 3797". Nostradamus first wrote his quatrains
in plain Old French, and he included names and dates. Then he
rewrote them in a complex code of acronyms, anagrams,
apocopes, synechdoches, ellipses, hyperbations and metatheses,
syncopes, aphereses, epentheses, metonyms, and other exotic
grammars and syntaxes. Nostradamus burned (or possibly buried)
the original, explicit prose prophecies, because he did not
want to complicate unduly humanity's problem of free choice,
or to encourage a fatalism that might deter us from making our
best efforts to correct ourselves. Nor did he wish to
interfere with the fulfillment of his prophecies by stating
them too clearly in advance. And, he had no desire to incur
the wrath of the Holy Inquisition:

"I warn you especially
against the vanity of the more execrable magic, condemned of
yore by the Holy Scriptures and by the Canons of the Church...
However, judicial astrology is excepted from this judgment".

Shortly after the
publication of The True Centuries, Nostradamus became famous
as some of his prophecies found fulfillment in the death of
King Henry II. In the ensuing centuries, about half of his
predictions have been fulfilled with acceptable (and sometimes
startling) accuracy. Following is a partial list of historical
events foreseen by the prophet according to a consensus of
some of his commentators' interpretations:

*16th century:*
Catherine Medici and the fate of her sons (C.6:29, C.2:63, and
C.7:32); Queen Mary and the Casket Letters, 1567 (C.10:39,
C.10:55, and C.8:23); the capture of Calais, 1558 (C.7:16);
the Battle of Lepanto, October 1571 (C.9:42); the capture of
Tunis, 1573 (C.8:50); and the Edict of Poitier, 1577 (C.5:72).

*17th century:* The
death of Elizabeth I, 1603 (C.6:74); the death of Cardinal
Richelieu and Louis XIII, 1642 (C.9:18 and C.8:68); the
defeat, captivity and execution of Charles I, 1649 (C.3:80,
C.8:37, and C.9:49); Charles II and the battle of Worcester,
1651 (C.10:4 and C.8:56); the Plague of London, 1665 (C.2:53);
the Great Fire of London, 1666 (C.2:51); the sinking of the
French fleet in the Gulf of Lyon, 1655 (C.3:87); the 30 Years
War (C.5:12 and C.5:13); and William III of England and the
Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689 (C.4:89).

*18th century:* The War
of Spanish Succession, 1701-1713 (C.4:2 and C.2:5); the death
of Pope Pius VI at Valence, 1799 (C.2:97); the French
Revolution and the death of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette
(C.1:3, C.1:14, C.1:58, C.5:5, C.6:92, C.9:20, C.9:34, and
C.9:77); and Napolean and the Battle of Lodi, May 10, 1796
(C.6:79).

*19th century:*
Napolean I (C.8:1, C.1:57, and C.4:53) and his Italian
campaign (C.4:37, C.3:37, C.2:94, and C.1:93); Wellington's
campaign against Napolean in the Spanish peninsula (C.4:70)
and at Waterloo, 1815 (C.4:75); Napolean's Russian Campaign
(C.3:37) and his retreat from Moscow, 1812-1813 (C.4:82);
Napolean's exile at Elba and St. Helena (C.1:32 and C.1:60);
the assassination of Duke de Berry, 1820 (C.4:73); Napolean
III (C.8:41 and C.5:20) and the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-1871
(C.4:100); the coronation of Napolean III (C.5:6); and the
defeat of Louis Napolean, 1870 (C.8:43).

*20th century:* The
abdication of Edward VIII, 1936 (C.10:40), World Wars I and II
(dozens of quatrains); Hitler (C.2:24 and several others);
Marshal Petain of France, 1940-1944 (C.4:61 and C.8:68); the
capture of Tobruk (C.1:28); and Mussolini and Victor Emmanuel
V (C.8:31).

Nostradamus prophecies have
gone through many editions, some of which are counterfeit.
Most are riddled with typographic and other editorial errors.
The definitive study is Edgar Leoni's Nostradamus and His
Prophecies, which represents the authentic spelling and style
of the first edition. That work was used as the primary
reference in this study. Most other modern translations are
travesties, and the interpretations based on them are mere
fantasy.

Most of Nostradamus'
prophecies concern Europe, though a few seem to refer to the
USA. At least 100 of them describe a future invasion of Europe
by Muslims. The most coherent and explicit of those will be
considered here. He predicted the Israeli invasion of Lebanon
and the siege of the PLO in 1982 with remarkable accuracy,
albeit so obscurely that it is understandable only in
retrospect:

> **Century 6
> Quatrain 34** *The device of flying fire*   
> *Will come to trouble the
> great besieged Chief*   
> *Within there will be such
> sedition*   
> *That the profligate ones
> will be in despair.*

"The device of flying fire" is
Nostradamus' term for jets or missiles, phosphorus bombs and
artillery which were used "to trouble the great besieged Chief",
Yasser Arafat. The Israeli invasion of Lebanon was triggered by
the attempted assassination of Shlomo Argov, the Israeli
ambassador in London, by a PLO splinter group ("sedition
within"). Line 4 is confusing until "profligate" is understood
in its obsolete meaning: beaten and dispersed! Thus,
"profligate" certainly applies to the Palestinians in general.
The circumstance of the besieged PLO and its resolution (the
UN-supervised evacuation of the PLO army) are unique in history,
and Nostradamus can be credited with having predicted it
accurately. The situation in Iran also caught Nostradamus'
attention :
> **Century 1 Qu****atrain
> 70** *Rain, famine, war in Persia not ceased,*   
> *The faith too great will
> betray the monarch,*   
> *For the end began in Gaul:*
>   
> *Secret augury for one to
> be sparing.*

This quatrain foretells famine
in Iran (Persia). "The faith too great" is the Islamic religion;
the betrayed monarch was the deposed Shah Pahlavi. "The end
began in Gaul" (France), where Ayatollah Khomeini was exiled
until he returned to Iran after the revolution there. The last
line may be private advice to some fated person whom Nostradamus
expected would read his prophecies some day. Israel also foresaw
modern Israel :
> **Century 3
> Quatrain 7** *New law to occupy the new land*   
> *Toward Syria, Judea and
> Palestine:*   
> *The great barbarian empire
> to decay,*   
> *Before the Moon completes
> its cycle.*

Lines 1 and 2 predict the
return of the Jews to establish Israel. Lines 3 and 4 foretell
the decline of Muslim power. The crescent moon is a Muslim
symbol. A lunar cycle is about 28 days, but a larger-scale cycle
of 28 years may be meant here.  
  
The following is a
prediction of the Israeli kibbutz program, which has taken "at
pleasure" from the Palestinians and occupied the desert, a
"place then uninhabitable", turning it into meadows and
rendering "extensive acreage arable", fertilized with
Palestinian blood.  
> **Century 2 Quatrain 19***Newcomers, place built without defense,*
>   
> *To occupy place then
> uninhabitable*   
> *Meadows, houses, towns to
> take at pleasure,*   
> *Hunger, pestilence, war,
> extensive acreage arable.* **Century 1 Quatrain 19** *The Gods will make it appear to men*   
> *That they are the authors
> of a great conflict:*   
> *Before heaven seen serene
> sword and lance,*   
> *So that the left hand will
> be a greater affliction.*

C. 1:19 has several possible
translations and interpretations. The first line suggests that
demi-gods (or mere extraterrestrial aliens) will put on a
display of their power for our edification. Samuel Browning
wrote: "The Gods are those who either have money or don't need
it" -- the super-rich few who control the planet insofar as they
can, including financing wars. Nostradamus might be telling us
that the next great war will be "religious", such as a Muslim
Jihad versus Christianity.  
  
**J****i****had**The ISIS / ISIL army has proclaimed itself to be the
military force that will carry jihad to Europe.   
  
In August 2014, Amel Shimoun Nona, the exiled Chaldean Catholic
archbishop of Mosul, warned that, Our sufferings today are the
prelude of those that you, Europeans and Western Christians,
will also suffer in the near future. I lost my diocese. The
physical setting of my apostolate has been occupied by Islamic
radicals who want us converted or dead. But my community is
still alive. Please, try to understand us. Your liberal and
democratic principles are worth nothing here. You must consider
again our reality in the Middle East, because you are welcoming
in your countries an ever growing number of Muslims. Also, you
are in danger. You must take strong and courageous decisions,
even at the cost of contradicting your principles. You think all
men are equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all
men are equal. Your values are not their values. If you do not
understand this soon enough, you will become the victims of the
enemy you have welcomed in your home. Our
sufferings today are the prelude of those that you, Europeans
and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future.

According to the most
obvious interpretations of Nostradamus' cryptic quatrains,
Europe will suffer another invasion by Muslims. The situation
will be complicated later by Russian and Chinese aggressions.
Some of his predictions came true within 20 years after the
publication of The True Centuries, but most of them definitely
indicate a future war between Christians and Muslims. About a
dozen of the quatrains concerning this war are dated by
astronomical configurations that began in the 1980s and
continue into the 21st century. That war did not begin on
schedule, but the prophet was perfectly accurate in his timing
the outbreak of the Balkan war between Christians and Muslims
in the 1990s. It is the opinion of this writer that the Marian
movement (of prayer for peace) was successfully in delaying
the prophesied "wrath of God" for some 20 years -- but that
grace period has ended.

> *Great terror and fear in

"Those of the arctic pole"
probably are the Russians. Asia and the Middle East will live in
"great terror and fear". Line 3 possibly refers to US President
George Bush and the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. At
some point there will be fighting at Rhodes and Eski Eregli
(Byzantium). The "Barbarian blood" is that of the Muslims.  

**Rhodes**
![](8-6-21-rhodes.jpg)
   **Byzantium** ![](8-6-21-Byzantion.PNG)

The Pont Euxine is the Black
Sea, and Tartary is in Central Asia. Alane is the area between
the Don, the Volga, and the Caucasus River. The king will be
distinguished by "his rod", a scepter or weapon.  

**Pont

 The leader of the Muslims (
or, the USA ) will rule Iraq (Mesopotamia). "The adulterine
lady" may be the harlot of "Mystery Babylon" in the biblical
Revelation of St. John, or Hillary Clinton. The land will be
razed.

Muslims throughout Turkey, the
Middle East, Asia and Africa will join the jihad, which will be
led by a murderous young man. Line 4 may well refer to US
President Barack Obama.  
> **Century 8
> Quatrain 96**  
> *The synagogue sterile
> without any fruit*  
> *Will be received by the
> infidels*  
> *The daughter of the

> *Misery and sadness will
> clip her wings.*

Israel's invasion of Lebanon in
1982 injured its national and religious spirit, rendering it
"sterile" in the sense of line 1. This sentiment was expressed
by Shlomo Argov (the Israeli ambassador whose attempted
assassination triggered the war). Lines 1 and 2 also may have
predicted the return of the Jews to Israel in 1948.  Line 4
suggests that Israel ("The synagogue" and "The daughter of the
persecuted of Babylon" ) will be conquered by the other Semites.

> Quatrain 47**  
> *The great Arab will march
> far forward**He will be betrayed by
> the Byzantians**Ancient Rhodes will

Turkey ( Byzantium ) will
commit treachery, and the isle of Rhodes will present a futile
resistance. Austria-Hungary (Pannonois) will be attacked by way
of Trieste.

> *The White Turban King
> Byzantium heart banished*  
> *Sun, Mars, and Mercury

"The Blue Turban" Muslims will
overthrow the "White Turban" Turkish ruler. Foix is in southwest
France. The new Muslim empire will last less than 30 years, the
period of an orbit of Saturn around the sun. The conjunction of
Mars, Mercury, and the Sun in Aquarius last occurred in January
1994. The next positioning of these planets near Aquarius will
occur in December 2016, and May and November-December 2018.  
  

**Foix** 
  
![](15-9-73-foix.jpg)

The Muslim alliance will last
about 13 years; it will test the Christian spirit ( "The Bark
and its cope" -- the Catholic Church and the Pope ).  
> **Century 5

> *At the great market they

Line 1 is inexplicable. War
will ravage Greece and Albania. The astrological configurations
of Mars in Leo and Saturn in Aquarius ( The Urn ) will occur in
March-July 2020. Mars will be in Leo in July and August 2019,
and May and July 2023.  
  

**Albanois
( Albania** **)**    
![](17-5-91-albania.gif)

   
Biological warfare ( "an unknown evil" ) will ravage the Greece
and the Balkans :  
> **Century 5

> *In the Cyclades, in
> Perinthus, and Larissa,**In Sparta all of
> Peloponnesus**Such great famine,
> plague through false dust,**Nine months it will
> last and throughout the entire peninsula.*

The Cyclades are Greek islands
southeast of Athens. Perenthus was near the eastern tip of
Thrace. Larissa was the chief city of Thessaly in northern
Greece. Sparta is on the Peloponnesian Peninsula. The "false
dust" may refer to depleted uranium or aerosol delivery of
biotoxins.

Muslim forces will occupy
Trabzun in the northeast corner of Asia Minor on the Black Sea.
Pharos is an island forming part of the harbor of Alexandria,
Egypt. Myteline is the island of Lesbos off the northeast coast
of Asia Minor. Both places will be attacked. Many will die in
the Adriatic Sea.  
  

**Trebizand** ![](20-5-27-Trebizond.jpg)   
**Adriatic Sea**  ![](20-5-27-adriaticsea.jpg)

> *Wreck for the fleet near
> the Adriatic Sea :**The land trembles

Nostradamus predicts a great
naval battle in the Adriatic Sea. Line two indicates a
geological catastrophe. Egypt is threatened, as prophesied also
in line 3 of Century 5:27 ( "to tremble Pharos" ) Line 4
suggests that a new prophet will arise, or that a diplomat will
be held hostage.  
> **Century 5
> Quatrain 25**  
> *The Arab prince Mars, Sun,
> Venus, Lion**The reign of the
> Church will succumb to the sea**Toward Persia well

Mars, Sol and Venus conjoin in
Leo in August 2019.

> *One whom the gods of
> infernal Hannibal**Will bear to be
> reborn, terror of humans**Never more of horror

The ancient Carthaginian
conqueror Hannibal Barca will reincarnate and attack Rome again.
Carthage 9 now Libya ) was founded by the Phoenicians. This
suggests that Italy will be attacked by way of Libya. Babel in
line 4 is now Iraq-Iran.  
  

**Hannibal
Barca**   
![](23-2-30-Hannibal-Barca.jpg)

> **Century 3
> Quatrain 73**  
> *The Church of God will be
> persecuted**And the holy temples
> ill be plundered,**The child will put his
> mother out in her shift,**Arabs will be allied
> with the Poles.*

The first two lines of this
quatrain are self-explanatory, and are happening now. The
alliance of line 4 may have been established on September 9,
1982, when Moamar Khadafy visited Poland and signed a friendship
treaty with that country.  
> **Century 10
> Quatrain 65**

The "Solar City" probably is
Rome. "The great Adria" is the Adriatic Sea. Nostradamus may be
predicting an invasion of Venice by Muslims.

> *From the Orient will come

The islands of the
Mediterranean Sea will be pillaged :

Muslims will invade southwest
Spain (Olchades). The Cyclades are islands in the Aegean Sea.
Parthia and Media were located in what is now Iran. "The Ionian
port" is either Venice or Trieste.

These quatrains spell doom for
the inhabitants of the Mediterranean coast of Europe. A military
commander will be captured and put on display in a cage, or
transported in an armored vehicle.

Arabia Felix is the area
between Yemen and Aden. Liguria is now Genoa, Italy.

Saturn and Mars will conjunct
in Leo in the summer of 2023. The "secret fire" is the atomic
bomb, which is top secret in many respects. This prophecy may
have been fulfilled in May 1986, when Halley's Comet passed and
the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded.

> Quatrain 83**  
> *The strange nation will

This quatrain repeats the
schedule of Century 4 Quatrain 67. "The strange nation" ( the
Muslim Caliphate ) will pillage and slaughter the Italians and
Greeks. France will be attacked by the Muslims. "Saturn in Mars"
is meaningless unless a conjunction is meant. Both planets will
be in Leo in the summer of 2019 and 2023.  
  

**Tuscany**

Here and elsewhere, Nostradamus
repeatedly warned the French navy not to overextend itself in
the Mediterranean Sea.  
  

**Ligurian
Sea / Corsica / Sardinia** ![](35-3-23-LigurianSea.png)

> *The great Satyr and Tiger

A naval commander from Hyrcania
(now part of Iran) will attack Marseilles ("Tyrren Phocaean").
These quatrains may have been fulfilled in 1655, when the French
fleet was sunk in the Gulf of Lyon, or in 1940 when the British
navy destroyed the French fleet off the coast of Algiers.  
> **Century 1
> Quatrain 18**  
> *Because of Gallic discord

"The Phoenician port" is
Marseille, where the Muslims will enter France.The country will
be weakened by subversive immigrants and civil disorder, and
will be unable to repel the invaders. The Senois in line 3 are the Senons, an
ancient Gallic tribe. Venice will be captured.

Agde is in the southwest
France. The Muslims will attack there with biological
weapons.  Or, an epidemic ( e.g., cholera ) will break out
in the aftermath of the fighting. This and several related
quatrains mention an unidentified bridge as the scene of a great
battle. Millions of people will be killed and captured there.

The Po River is in northern
Italy.  "The maritime Lion" is the British navy. Millions
of Muslims will cross the Mediterranean Sea. A quarter million
people will be captured.

Apparently Lyon and Malta will
be attacked with nuclear weapons.  Line 4 suggests a
betrayal of the French by England and Switzerland.The Swiss
government will be in exile in London.

The "burning torch in heaven"
might be a comet, or a nuclear missile.  The targets will
be the source and mouth of the Rhone River, which originates at
the foot of Furka Pass. It runs 505 miles to the Mediterranean
Sea near Marseilles. The Rhine River begins within 100 yards of
the Rhone, and runs 820 miles to the North Sea. The Danube River
begins only 15 miles away from the Rhine and Rhone, and it flows
1776 miles to the Black Sea. Famine will devour the people as
the delivery of relief supplies is delayed. Muslims will invade
Greece (Macedonia), as reiterated in several other
quatrains.  The Muslim invasion will include Switzerland.

The inhabitants of Geneva will
be wise to flee when the economy (Saturn) turns from banking
(gold) to war (iron). "RAYPOZ" may be Nostradamus' transposed
spelling for Zopyra, who delivered Babylon into the hands of
Darius. "RAYPOZ" also may be a " positive ray " beam weapon. It
may also refer to a catastrophe caused by the CERN collider,
which severely disrupts the geomagnetic field. The event will be
portended by celestial or atmospheric omens.   
  

**Geneva**

Germany also will be attacked by the Jihadists :

"The holy empire" is that of
the Muslims. They will invade Germany. Infact, they have
already. The Ishmaelites are the Arabs, who claim to be
descended from Ishmael, son of Abraham. Carmania once covered
the modern area of Iraq and Iran.

After the Muslims invade
Austria and Germany, they will be defeated by the French ("the
Cock") near the Alps.

The Europeans ( "the crusaders"
) will gather their armies near the Rhone River. The
astrological configuration of line 3 ( Mars and Venus in Pisces
) also is mentioned in Century 9 Quatrain 55. It will occur in
April 2022. Many people will drown in floods.

A drought will occur in the
area covered by the Italian cities listed in line 1. The Muslim
invaders ("the strange tongue") will devastate the peninsula.

> Quatrain 75**  
> *Pau, Verona, Vicenza,
> Saragossa**From distant swords

The cities listed in line 1 are
in southwest France, Spain and northern Italy. Line 3 seems to
describe biological warfare delivered by missile.

Paris will be destroyed. The
Muslim advance will be halted at "Tricast", which might be the
French city of Troyes, or St. Paul-Trois-Chateaux.

" The great city " is presumed
to be Paris or Rome. It will be destroyed.

Aquitane is a large province in
southwest France. The British and allies will land there and
attack the Muslims. "Selyn" (from the Greek selene, moon) may
refer to the Muslim crescent moon logo.

Mortara (in northern Italy near
Milan) will be struck by an earthquake. England is Cassiterides,
the Tin Islands. Saint George is the patron saint of England.
The islands will half-sink in a geological catastrophe. The
timing appears to be at Easter.  
  

**England**

Ausonia (near Naples) will
become a center of resistance against the Muslims. Many other
European prophets before and after Nostradamus made predictions
of a "Grand Monarch" who will lead Christian Europe to victory
over the Muslims.  Nostradamus refers to him many times :  
> **Century 10
> Quatrain 86**  
> *Like a griffin will come
> the king of Europe,**Accompanied by those
> of Aquilon**Of reds and whites he
> will conduct a great troop**And they will go
> against the king of Babylon.*

Aquilon was the Roman god of
the North Wind. Line 2 thus indicates that the Italian army will
be allied with the Grand Monarch. The " red and whites " may be
the British army.  
> **Century 8
> Quatrain 34**  
> *After the victory of the
> Lion over the Lion**Upon the mountain of
> Jura Hecatomb,**Deluge and browns
> seventh million**Lyon, Ulm at Mansol
> dead and hecatomb.*

The Muslims will be defeated in
a battle in the Jura Mountains of Franche-Comte in the
Alps.  It will be a great slaughter ( a Hecatomb ) of some
120,000 people. Line 4 is obscure, but Lyons certainly is in
France, and Ulm is in Germany.  "Mansol" is believed to be
St Paul-de-Mausol in France.

Saturn is in Sagittarius from

Sardinia will be attacked.
Deucalion is connected with the great Flood myth, so more
flooding can be expected according to this quatrain.

Biological warfare will ravage
humans and animals. The next conjunction of Jupiter and Mars
will be 7 January 2018.  Jupiter will enter Cancer again in
2025, though Mars will have moved into Leo by then.

"Trojan blood" refers to the
royal blood of France, which according to legend descends from
Francus, son of King Priam of Troy.  The king will rout the
Muslims and restore the Catholic Church.

" The sceptre " is Jupiter,
which will be conjunct Mars in Cancer in January 2018. Then the
anticipated Grand Monarch will appear.

Allein and Verneques are
villages northeast of Salon, Nostradamus' hometown.  The
Luberon mountains are on the north side of the Durance
River.  The Muslims will be defeated there.

Pannonois is Hungary. The
Pillars of Hercules are the Straits of Gibraltar.  The
Grand Monarch will drive the Muslims from Spain into Africa.

Friday is the Muslims
equivalent of sabbath.  They will be defeated again in
Spain.

Ogmios, the Gallic deity of
eloquence, was the equivalent of Hercules. Here he symbolizes
the commander of the European army. They will chase the Muslims
back to Turkey.   
  
The Europeans will be counter-attacked on the beach:

The Araxes River is in Armenia,
east of the Black Sea. Media is southeast of Armenia. The war
will end there with the total defeat of the Muslims.

Line 1 is an apt description of
infrasound weapons ( cf. Vladimir Gavreau, et al. ) or
psychoacoustic projectors ( such as described in U.S. patent
3566347, e.g. ) which were used by the USA in Iraq.

The European king, here called
Chyren, will liberate the captives held by the Muslims ( "Selin"
).  
  
All this shall come to pass, yet with worse to come, however,
according to Nostradamus and many other prophets. But that is
another chapter in the history of the future...
