OCCULT VIEW

Was Nostradamus ever able to actually predict the future?  Was he a true clairvoyant or a faker?  Nostradamus is controversial for sure.  His predictions are murky, subject to multiple interpretations.  But he was specific with one of his most famous predictions below:

X-72
The year 1999, seventh month,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror:
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.

This prediction above is maybe Nostradamus’ greatest failure. This is one of his few quatrains where he put an actual date on a prediction…1999. He should have stuck with being vague and non-specific. We’d be still on the lookout for the King of the Mongols today! With many of Nostradamus’ predictions, he lays an egg or no egg at all. His predictions are vague enough that people can read whatever they want in them.

Yet, at the same time there are predictions that seem on target. There are enough of these that it seems he just might have had true glimpses of the future, even if it was hit or miss. Some of Nostradamus’ predictions are indeed uncanny and suggest genuine clairvoyance.  Before we totally dismiss Nostradamus as bogus…below is a verse that might be a “hit”.

Century IV, quatrain 50
Libra will see the Hesperias govern,
Holding the monarchy of heaven and earth:
No one will see the forces of Asia perished,
Only seven hold the hierarchy in order.

Commentators recognized the first two lines.  Libra is the sign of the zodiac symbolized by the scales, or balance. Hesperia means “West”. So the first line suggests that there will be balance in the world when the West governs, holding rule over the land and sky (foreshadowing air power in the 20th century). Very good, the global balance of power.

ASIA

However commentators misinterpreted the last two lines, thinking they referred to China and the predicted King of the Mongols from verse X-72. Not so. Instead they are a part of Nostradamus’ series of successful predictions about the rise and fall of communism. This quatrain has already occurred.

What do the last two lines mean? The forces/power of Asia will not perish until seven have ruled in order? The “forces of Asia” being referred to is not China, but the former Soviet Union. The majority of the landmass of the Soviet Union was Asian, and at the time it was a world superpower. The “only seven hold the hierarchy in order” refers to the seven communist rulers who ruled the Soviet Union before it collapsed, or “perished”:

1. Vladmir Lenin (1917-1922) the beginning of communist Soviet Union
2. Joseph Stalin (1922-1953)
3. Nikita Krushchev (1953-1964)
4, Leonid Brezhnev (1964-1982).
5. Yuri Andropov (1082-1984)
6. Konstantin Cherneko (1984-1985)
7. Mikhail Gorbachev (1985-1991) the end of communist Soviet Union.

The world power of Soviet communism perished after it’s seven communist rulers held rule in sequence. Maybe a handful of Nostradamus’ predictions are genuine. The problem is we don’t know beforehand which is the real deal, and which are not.
