personality cult. The number of the quatrain 9.17 explicitly specify the year of Revolution, 1917, through which came the Golden age.
Quatrain 3.94 Admiration by the century
De cinq cens ans plus compte l'on tiendra,
Celuy qu'estoit l'ornement de son temps:
Puis à vn coup grande clarté donrra,
Que par ce siecle les rendra trescontens.
In 500 years during which more will take into account,
The one who was the ornament of his era:
Then with a shock great clarity he will give,
Which by this century will bring them great contentment.
In this prophecy Nostradamus calls the Russian revolution a coup. The reference in 500 years, apparently, is specified approximately. Many do not feel that living in a Golden age because each person is in life their problems and troubles. But as they say, you will not know happiness until you lose it. All will end overnight and the chaos of world war 3. It predicted in quatrains: 9.31, 1.55, 4.67.
Quatrain 10.89 Mellifluous times
De brique en marbre serôt les murs reduicts,
Sept & cinquante années pacifique,
Ioye aux humains, renoüé l'aqueduict,
Santé, grands fruits, joye & temps melifique.
The walls will be converted from brick to marble,
Seven and fifty pacific years:
Joy to people, the aqueduct renewed,
Health, abundance of fruits, joy and mellifluous times.
Our time is predicted in this quatrain. Apparently, the first line, must be understood in a figurative sense, as the well-being and prosperity of peoples. "Aqueduct renewed" – millions of people in the world now have housing with all amenities. The prophet writes about the health of our time. Indeed, medicine has reached such a level of development that able to treat many diseases. Fifty seven peaceful years (conversely 75), perhaps, it should count off from the end of the Second World War: 1945+75 = 2020?!
Quatrain 5.41 Renewing the Golden age
Nay sous les vmbres & iournee nocturne
Sera en regne & bonte souueraine,
Fera renaistre son sang de l'antique verne,
Renouuellant siecle d'or pour l'airain.
Born in the shadows and during a dark day,
He will be sovereign in realm and goodness:
He will cause his blood to rise again in the ancient urn,
Renewing the age of gold for that of brass.
Presumably this is a prophecy about the period after 2000.
Renewing the age of gold. We can understand this as the renewal of the Golden Age for Russia. Throughout the world this century was interrupted by the Second World War. Moreover, in USSR the Stalin period is difficult to attribute to the golden age: on the one hand, the power and scope of the country has increased, on the other – repression and famine have led to the death of millions of people. Also Yeltsin's rule cannot be called golden, when there was a sharp decline in production and the impoverishment of the people. Putin’s coming to power can be considered a renewal of the golden age for Russians. The people, for the most part, got out of poverty: they began to buy cars, apartments, go abroad.
Linkage with other quatrains: 10.72.
Quatrain 5.32 End of the Golden age
Ou tout bon est tout bien Soleil & Lune,
Est abondant sa ruyne s'approche,
Du ciel s'aduance vaner ta fortune,
En mesme que la septiesme roche.
Where all is good, the Sun all beneficial and the Moon
Is abundant, its ruin approaches:
From the sky it advances to change your fortune.
In the same state as the seventh rock.
There are problems and troubles in the life of every person, so many do not feel the sweetness of this century. As they say, you will not know happiness until you lose – when disasters begin, then people will understand and will remember this time as the Golden Age. It will end overnight, and Apocalypse will begin. Seven global disasters will follow one after another during several decades. There will be also good intervals between catastrophes. Everything will begin with the third world war, which will be nuclear. Then the new Great Flood will happen, the fiery Comet will complete the extermination. All this shall be considered as retribution for our sins. Out of the seven billion people now living, there are only several hundreds of thousands people which are worthy to inherit the Earth.
Some interpreters refer the Golden Age, predicted by Nostradamus to a distant future. At the beginning of the next civilization there will be Golden time which will last not only one century, but about а thousand years. This is also predicted. But these quatrains, no doubt, speak of our time.
The predictions about England and USA
England was the most powerful colonial empire for almost 300 years. Having the best fleet, it was the greatest sea power and had subordinated territories on all inhabited continents. For this reason, English became international language. Its sailors made outstanding geographical discoveries. And now this state is part of the leading countries of the world. England gave birth to the great "child" – the United states, which then separated and became an independent state.
Quatrain 6.74 Elizabeth I
La dechassee au regne tournera,
Ses ennemis trouuez des coniurez:
Plus que iamais son temps triomphera.
Trois & septante a mort trop asseurez.
She chased out will return to the realm,
Her enemies found to be conspirators:
More than ever her time will triumph,
Three and seventy to death very sure.
The 1 version: Elizabeth I (1533-1603) was a queen of England from 1558, protestant. She spent long time in exile and even in prison. Elizabeth triumphantly moved to London after the death of the predecessor Bloody Mary who was a catholic. She did not seek revenge for her Catholic enemies, but showed a religious tolerance, thereby avoided a religious war in the country.
More than ever her time will triumph. A long period of her reign is called the Golden Age of England. It was marked by the prosperity of culture, geographical discoveries, the development of new colonies, the victory over the Spanish invincible armada. Perhaps the last line indicates the duration of her life – 70 years, and 3 – the year of death.
Possible decoding of the number 6.74. 600-74 = 526. If 2 to turn to 5, and 6 by 9, then it will be 559-1 = 558 – the year when her reign started.
The 2nd version: Prediction of USSR collapse and return to capitalism in 1991. If we add 73 to 1917, then 1990 is very close to the death of the old system.
Quatrain 10.39* Maria I Stuart
Premier fils vefue malheureux mariage,
Sans nuls enfans deux Isles en discord,
Auant dixhuit incompetant eage,
De l'autre prés plus bas sera l'accord.
First son, widow, unfortunate marriage,
Without any children, two Islands in discord:
Before eighteen, incompetent age,
For the other one the betrothal will take place while younger.
