What’s in a Prophecy? Nostradamus warns of the last Pope; a short 7 month reign of Francis and coming Civil War among Christians and failure of the War with Islam? Here comes ISON!

14 March 2013/02 Jumada l-Ula 1434/24 Esfand 1391/3 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

From the Edgar Leoni translations of Nostradamus poems [with my comments].

Century V Quatrain 46: Quarrels and schisms by the red hats [Catholic cardinals] When the Sabine [area of Italy associated with Francis of Assisi, Francis Assisi was introduced to the Pope by the Cardinal Bishop of Sabina] will have been elected: They will produce great sophisms [deceitful arguments, like the lies about weapons of mass destruction that Iraq never had] against him, And Rome will be injured by those of Alba [Albanians/Muslims?]. 

Century VIII Quatrain 93: Seven months, no more he will obtain the prelacy [high ranking Christian clerics, however newer translations have changed prelacy to papacy which is specifically referring to the Pope], Through his death a great schism will arise [civil war among Catholics/Christians?]: Seven months another will hold governorship [some have interpreted this to mean a retired Pope being recalled to duty after Francis/The Sabine dies. For the first time in 598 years there is now a retired Pope], Near Venice peace, union to arise again [I’ve read somewhere that this could mean the unification of all versions of Christianity, as in prior to the split up of the original Roman Church].

Century II Quatrain 97: Roman Pontiff [Catholic Pope] beware of approaching The city that two rivers flow through [the Tigris and Euphrates converge in Basra, Iraq, near the Bronze Age Sumerian city of Ur. There are many other cities with two rivers flowing through, but Iraq was known in ancient times specifically as the land between two rivers], Near there your blood will come to spirt, You and yours when the rose will flourish. [this could be a time reference, or a reference to any number of organizations, including the British monarchy, who use the rose as one of their symbols (the English even fought a War of the Roses).  Speaking of which, the Rosicrucian Order is one such rosy organization, with a sect of the order called Golden Dawn.  The Golden Dawn are now a major fascist political party in cash strapped Greece, in other words, the Greek Golden Dawn is flourishing. This leads us to the next Quatrain as Athens, Greece, is also a city with two rivers]

Century V Quatrain 31: Trough the Attic [Attica, a region of Greece that includes Athens] land fountain of wisdom, At present the rose of the world: The bridge [some translations have this as The Papacy or Pope] ruined, and its great pre-eminence Will be subjected, a wreck amidst the waves. [Attica juts into the Aegean Sea, this is significant to any War with Islam, as in ancient times the Iranian Empire crossed this area (by land and sea) to attack the Greek Empire. Of course the Iranians weren’t Muslims back then. Nostradamus’s references to Christianity and Islam should be viewed more as West vs East. Today’s Catholic church is nothing more than the continuation of the Greco/Roman Western Empire, and many of today’s Islamic Shia Iranians see the growing economic success of their country as a resurgence of their ancient Eastern Iranian (the Greeks called them Persians) Empire. So does this quatrain mean that the current invasion of Muslim dominated East by the Christian dominated West (aka War on Terror) will end in catastrophic failure for the West?]

Century II Quatrain 41: The great star will burn for seven days, The cloud will cause two suns to appear: The big mastiff will howl all night When the great pontiff will change country.  [Gregorian year 2013 is being called the year of the comets.  Already comet PanSTARRS has been seen in the Southern Hemisphere country of Australia (Pope Francis calls the Southern Hemisphere his home), and it should be visible in the North now. There will be a couple of other comets before we get to the big one later in the year.  Last year Russian astronomers discovered C/2012 S1 ISON (don’t forget about the meteor that hit Russia last month).  S1 ISON is so big that if it survives its turn around our Sun (at the end of 2013) astronomers say it will be as bright as our Moon, and will appear alongside our Sun during the day, accentuated by a spectacular dusty comet trail (“The cloud will cause two suns to appear”).  Regarding the pontiff changing countries, in the past the Catholic church has moved its HQ to France in times of emergencies.  Something could happen around the time of S1 ISON’s journey around the Sun to scare the Catholics out of Vatican City.]
