Nostradamus And 9-11

With the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the failed attempt on the White House, The President, George W. Bush has declared war on the Terrorists responsible for these brutal acts.

To all our brave military service men and women who have and are pledging their lives to keep America free of Tyranny, Oppression, Terrorism, and to keep our rights that have been fought for throughout our history of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We salute you. God Bless You, and all of America.

With all that is happening in today's world culminating with the United States declaring war on Terrorism, the prophet known as Nostradamus and his futuristic Quatrains is resurfacing.

Nostradamus was a 16th century prophet and astrologer who supposedly foresaw the future of the world. His technique used was a form of meditation where at night, he would sit alone peering into his brass tripod that was centered with a flame.

From there, he would look into the future. He wrote his quatrains of the centuries but realizing what powerful knowledge these quatrains were, he mixed the centuries and quatrains up with only him knowing what was to become. He had hoped that man and woman would take heed and heart of the quatrains and change the world for the better.

A so called Nostradamus quatrain is circulating throughout the Internet like wildfire. It looks and feels like a real quatrain, but in fact it is fake. This prediction has lines from actual quatrains that make it believable. The fake quatrain is as follows.......

In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great king of terror.
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city.
In the city of york there will be a great collapse,
Two twin brothers torn apart by chaos.
While the fortress falls the greatest leader will succumb,
The third big was will begin when the big city is burning.
NOSTRADAMUS 1654

To begin with, Nostradamus died in the year 1566, not in 1654 as was signed at the end of this quatrain.

Second, Nostradamus always recorded what century and what number quatrain he was writing. This fake one does not have that.

Third, Nostradamus has never referred to New York as (york) but as the new city.

Fourth, Nostradamus in such a quatrain as important and powerful as this one, would not have said "in the year of the new century or specify nine months". Instead, he would have begun referring to the third millennium and either the harvest moon which happens in the fall, or the alignment of the planets.

Fifth, the last line is by far bogus. Nostradamus knew that New York City, or the new city was big and wondrous. He also knew that the world wars were big. He would take it for granted and leave the word BIG out of his quatrains.

And last, Nostradamus' quatrains had a semblance of poetry and connection. All the lines were linked to one another and fed off of each other. Change one word or line, or omit or rearrange the lines and they would no longer have meaning. You can see that these lines were inserted to serve a purpose and falsify a prediction.

Below are actual Nostradamus Quatrains that may or may not pertain to the recent attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Nostradamus wrote the quatrains as more of a warning to us and with the hope we could and would change the outcome of his quatrains.

CENTURY 1....QUATRAIN 87

Earthshaking fire from the center of the earth
will cause tremors around the New City.
Two great immovable powers will war for a long time,
Then Arethusa will redden a new river.

Although the New City is mentioned here, I do not feel it is about the World Trade Center. The fire came from the sky, two jets hitting the towers. Nostradamus has the fire coming from the center of the earth. A volcano perhaps. It would explain the new river of red. The lava flow burning a new groove into the land would look like a river of red. This may be a political race, (two powers) at war. A shift in power from Republican to Democrat in the state of New York. Or perhaps, even the NYSE and the NASDAQ looking for control.

CENTURY 5....QUATRAIN 65

Suddenly appeared, the terror will be great,
Hidden by the ringleaders of the situation.
The women on the charcoal will no longer be seen.
Thus, little by little,
The great ones will be angered.

Yes, the attacks were great and by surprise. Absolutely no warning. Even after the first plane crashed into the towers, no one expected a second one to do the same let alone a third hit the Pentagon and a fourth crashing before hitting Washington.

The ringleaders, or terrorists, are hidden or unknown. We are hunting and collecting information on the terorists who are still hidden.

The second line, the charcoal women, could be the women that perished in the attacks and will never be found, or found alive. Charcoal meaning burned from the blast.

The last two lines are happening now. The great ones, (The US GOVT.) are very angered. President Bush is not holding back any words. Either you are on our side or you are not. He will hunt down those responsible and justice will be served.
Yes, this could be about today.

CENTURY 8....QUATRAIN 17

Those at ease will suddenly be cast down.
The world put into trouble by three brothers.
Their enemies will seize the marine city.
Hunger, fire, blood, plague, all evils doubled.

Those living and working in the World Trade Center and Pentagon were at ease and then suddenly cast down, brutally murdered by terrorists.

The second line has been linked to the three Kennedy brothers, but maybe, it means former President George Bush, The current President George W. Bush, and his brother, Governor Jeb Bush. Perhaps Nostradamus took for granted that one was a father, and not a brother. Former president Bush attacked Iraq in Desert Storm and stirred up tensions in the middle East. Was this the start of what is happening today?

The third line, seize the marine city is interesting. Manhattan is an island. A marine city. The terrorists seized the city with it's bombs closing the cities bridges and tunnels permitting no one to enter or leave.

Of course, the fourth line of hunger fire and blood is explained as the great death that occurred. All evils doubled. two attacks on the twin towers. Two attacks on Washington. All evils doubled.

CENTURY 8....QUATRAIN 59

Twice put up and twice cast down,
The East will also weaken the West.
It's adversary, after several battles,
Chased by sea will fail at time of need.

Twice is the key in the first line. Two attacks on the towers, two on Washington.

The East, or middle east, surely weakened the West, United States.

The third line suggests several battles will occur and as the last line describes, the East will be defeated by a sea battle with no relief or aid to come.

President Bush has already said anyone harboring these terrorist criminals will also be considered terrorists and we will not distinguish between them. The terrorists will have no one to hide. Even now, Pakistan is offering assistance in lieu of attacking them. They will fail in their time of need.

CENTURY 10....QUATRAIN 49

The garden of the world near the New City,
In the road of the hollow mountains.
It will be seized and plunged in the tank,
Forced to drink water poisoned with sulphur.

Garden of the world? Maybe, Nostradamus coined the phrase concrete jungle of New York centuries ago. It was very near Central Park, a garden of the world.

The second line, hollow mountains. How else would a man from the 16th century describe the World Trade Center? Huge mountains that are hollow inside where people worked.

The third line speaks of the attack on the towers. The tank I cannot decipher it's meaning. Poisoned water? Maybe it's yet to happen. Or maybe a water tower has somehow become tainted with the fall out of the World Trade Center.

CENTURY 10....QUATRAIN 72

In the year 1999, and seven months from the sky,
Will come the great king of terror.
He will bring to life the great king of the Mongols.
Before and after war reigns happily.

1999 has come and gone. Millennium madness is all but over. Several lines of this quatrain were used to create the fake one on the Internet right now.

Still, 1998, terrorism ran unchecked. The Lockerbie aircrash killing hundreds is linked to Terrorists in the Middle East. The same one's as of September 11th, 2001.

That could have been the start of his reign of terror to end well into the third Millennium.

CENTURY 10....QUATRAIN 82

With the knives will come cries, tears and weeping
Seeming to flee, they will make a final assault around the parks.
They will set up high platforms,
The living pushed back and murdered instantly.

Again, high speculation, but the terrorists used knives to hi-jack the planes to start their reign of terror. Many people lost family members and will grieve for many years. Instead of the hi-jackers taking the planes and fleeing the country, they turned and attacked New York and Washington. Could the parks be Battery Park which was created from the excavation of the site preparing to erect the Twin Towers. Maybe Central Park!

High platforms. They are 110 stories tall and many people were killed instantly when the planes collided with the buildings. To Nostradamus, the Twin Towers could be described as high platforms, or hollow mountains.
