Notradamus/Usama bin Ladin

[Gatekeeper]

Bah. If I were the anti-Christ, I'd be a woman and I'd rise to power in a part of the world that can actually project that power (i.e. sure as hell not in the Middle East). I bet a lot of folks wouldn't see that coming.

We don't see Khan around, do we?

You take it WAY too literally. It will be a Kahn-like figure, and "bring back to life" could mean the actions of one "King of Terror" brings forth a leader as a consequence, called the "King of the Mongols"

That's the Biblical anti-Christ. Nostradamus had three: Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, and this "King of the East".

[JohnT]

Yeah, but Nostradumbass was full of ****. As so were the Biblical prophecies.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

For examples, this is one supposedly about Napoleon:

C3Q35
From the very depths of the West of Europe,
A young child will be born of poor people,
He who by his tongue will seduce a great troop:
His fame will increase towards the realm of the East.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Now here's an interesting one possibly about these days:

C6Q21
When those of the arctic pole are united together,
Great terror and fear in the East:
Newly elected, the great trembling supported,
Rhodes, Byzantium stained with Barbarian blood.

The third anti-Christ is obviously Arnold Schwarzenegger.

His only goal has always been total world domination, and he simply managed to find the path of least resistance: work out, become a body builder, move to America and become an actor, become governor, then president and rule the world. It's so obvious!!

[Mercator]

TEF, Really? The site Gangerolf linked to said C3Q35 was about Hitler.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Experts believe it could be either...I'm more inclined to say it is Napoleon, because I take the interpretation of "Fame" to mean he swept West to East...Hitler was more of an outword conquorer

Think about this quatrain, then:

C1 Q25

The lost thing is discovered, hidden for many centuries.
Pasteur will be celebrated almost as a God-like figure.
This is when the moon completes her great cycle,
but by other rumors he shall be dishonored.

From Erika Cheetham:

"Another fascinating quatrain which contains not only the name of Pastuer but also a very specific dating although not apparent at first. Pasteur's discovery that germs polluted the atmosphere was one of the most important in medical history, and led to Lister's theory of sterilization. The Encyclopedia Britannica says that Pastuer, the 'demi-Dieu,' 'was now the acknowledged head of the greatest chemical movement of the time.' He founded the Institute Pastuer on 14th November 1889; the cycle of the moon ran from 1535 to 1889. The rumours that dishonoured him may mean the violent opposition to his methods which were roused among powerful members of the Academy, against the new practices of the Institute such as vaccines against hydrophobia etc."

[Imran Siddiqui]

I love how people look back at the quatrains and can impart history into them . Also the translation stuff is sketchy; I read a book, where to translate Nostradamus they took out a few letters to establish the 'dating period'. It was funny .

I remember reading something about a blue turban.

Yeah, I remember that as well.

[:) Smiley]

I'm gonna go get myself a blue turban now.

Are you infering that dear sweet Maggy Thatcher is the anti-christ?

@The Emperor Fabulous:

How was what he discovered "lost"?

Pasteur is simply French for pastor, which fits right in with the original "demi Dieu" bit. Someone decided it was Louis Pasteur and fit the other 3 lines around it.

Which important figure isn't both celebrated and dishonored?

And please explain to me what moon cycles exactly run for 354 years. How many other great cycles does the moon have? On how many other years could you say a cycle ends?

Not to mention the Pasteur Institute wasn't founded in 1889, but in 1888, and his germ theory is from at least ten years earlier (I couldn't find a date of the original discovery).

Lost probably indicates the thing that scientists knew existed but couldn't prove, or the "missing link" as it were.

Pastuer plus date plus discovery.

Also, the original text says "Pasteur", not "Le Pasteur". Nostradamus always includes "le" or "L' " when he means a noun.

And please explain to me what moon cycles exactly run for 354 years. How many other great cycles does the moon have? On how many other years could you say a cycle ends?

Nostradamus was an astrologist. The date is from an astrological point of view. While "horoscopes" don't necessarily mean anything, the cycles of the moon, where it is in the sky, stuff like that, are all scientific.

Not to mention the Pasteur Institute wasn't founded in 1889, but in 1888, and his germ theory is from at least ten years earlier (I couldn't find a date of the original discovery).

That's still towards the end of the cycle, isn't it?
