A
Fresh View of Nostradamus
By
Robert Tippett
Forget everything that you thinkyou know about the writings of
Nostradamus. Everything that has been published to date
is filled with so many errors that no one would dare place their
reputation on the line in support of his prophecies. It's
time to start over with a blank slate.
By definition a prophecy should predict the future, and no one
has come forward yet to present any evidence that Nostradamus
wrote something predictable that was found to come true. Oh
sure, many have found that truth is present, but only in past
occurrences. That power of hindsight defeats the purpose
of prophecy. So, if he has proven that he saw the future, which
is now our past, how can we make sense of what he wrote, and see
our future?
I believe that I have found the secret of understanding Nostradamus.
It didn’t come to me easily, but over the past two years
I have been deeply involved in seeking this answer. Call it a
little 'out of the box' thinking, but from this I have
discovered that Nostradamus utilized a system while writing, which
makes understanding possible. With this system I believe that
I am now able to accurately interpret what was written almost
four hundred and fifty years ago. What was written does include
events that have already occurred, and some events that we are
in the middle of now. But, the majority of what was written is
very predictive, and of our futures.
Before I get carried away, let me tell you the first paradigm
that is required. This is the trashing of the concept that each
quatrain (4-line verse) is a stand alone prediction. The entire
work must be seen as a puzzle that has yet to be pieced together.
Each quatrain inter-relates with other quatrains, such that they
tell a continuously flowing story. To try to understand one piece
of the puzzle, without understanding the whole, leads to some
wild, and error filled imaginations. It is these fantasies that
now fill the local bookstores.
Since I am limited to the space that I can fill here, it is impossible
to map out the rules of the system that Nostradamus used. So,
rather than bore you with all these 'professional Nostradamean'
details, I will simply give you the quickie version of the story
of Nostradamus.
Contrary to what has been written, Nostradamus was not all that
concerned with the period between 1555, when he wrote the prophecies,
and 1900. Oh, he wrote several verses that speed through this
period, but he slowed down when he reached the Twentieth Century.
He called that 'a long century,' which it certainly
was. Still, the only reason he wrote about the period between
1555 and 2000 was to set up why we are where we are now. His main
focus was to give examples, in story form, of the fall of royal
rule, and the 'advent of the common man.'
This began with old Ollie Cromwell, but really took off with commoners
like Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, and the Communists of the Red
Revolution. Then he showed that the common man got smarter. Instead
of having some really bad guy that everyone hates as a leader,
the common man will learn subversion. This is a form of self-preservation,
to maintain this rule by common men.
With the major royal families out of the way, the subversion tactic
leads us to the rise of puppets like the Shah of Iran, M. Khadafi,
and A. Khomeini, where they replace royalty. And of course,
some common men and women along the way got assassinated for not
playing along. The last half of the Twentieth Century really focuses
on this mastery of rule by subversion. That takes us to the Twenty-first
Century.
The 21st Century began with the events of 9-11. That part of the
story is very striking. Then Nostradamus predicted the response
in Afghanistan, the union of George W. Bush and Tony Blair (to
divert some revenge on Saddam Hussein), and the whereabouts of
that hard to find Osama bin Laden. Still, of the 943-948 known
quatrains, only about half have been used to tell the story that
leaves us where we are now. The rest is purely predictive, and
can be tested to see if it will be proven prophetic.
Of the remaining pieces of this puzzle, the majority are scheduled
to occur between now and 2007. This is dated by astronomical clues,
since the planets follow the law of physics, and are reliably
predictable. This part of the story is where the plot really thickens,
with a major war predicted to happen between two religions. In
this period is a tremendous amount of 'war, plague, famine,
and death.' Sounds a lot like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
In fact, I believe the whole story of Nostradamus is a more modern
view of the last book of the Bible.
