Nostradamus
The goth
Quatrain 1/42
Les dix Kalendes d’Avril de fait Gotique
Ressuscité encor par gens malins,
Le feu estaint, assemleee diabolique,
Cerchant les os du d’Amant & Pselin,
The ten Kalends of April, calculated in the Gothic fashion
are revived again by the wicked people.
The fire is put out and the diabolic gathering
seeks the bones of the lover (demon) and Psellus.
UPDATE
The date I expected the events outlined in the prophecy to occur was in error. But it is only one prophecy out of a thousand, so why persist?
The answer is not as simple as it seems: the failure of this pivotal prophecy will trigger a domino effect, leading to the failure of at least twenty percent of Nostradamus’ prophecies. The defeat of prophecy, in turn, will have a tangible impact on our world, as ‘the Gaul’ plays a crucial role in preventing the Chinese from winning WWIII. He also ensures the Battle of Armageddon will unfold as God intended.
Nostradamus wrote his prophecies to communicate with ‘the Gaul’ across time and space to give him the information needed to fulfil his role. In what is undoubtedly the mother of all temporal paradoxes, Nostradamus’s prophecies are based on visions of ‘the Gaul’ in action, while ‘the Gaul’ acted as he did because of Nostradamus’ prophecies. The question of what came first, Nostradamus’ prophecies or ‘the Gaul’ actions, is a mind-boggling enigma that adds depth to our narrative.
The quatrain, a complex prophecy, has two dating systems: the Roman Kalends, a system used in ancient Rome, and the Bogamil Easter Rite, a system specific to the Bogamil religious tradition. This dual dating system adds another layer of intricacy to our prophecy analysis. Unfortunately, I ignored this complexity in my initial calculation.
Moreover, the quatrain alludes to two events: an upsurge of interest in Nostradamus’ prophecies and the ‘death’ of the child, i.e. ‘the Gaul.’ The Gaul, or ‘the child’, is caught up in the French strife, effectively a civil war, which breaks out shortly before WWIII. The Gaul is shot and then wounded by a bomb or an artillery shell. Taken for dead, the soldiers throw his body onto a funeral pyre, but someone saves him after he groans in pain. Once again, my initial calculation ignored the second event.
We can reduce the Bogamil Easter Rite and the ten Kalends of April to the same date, albeit with some manipulation. Based on the Julian Calendar, Orthodox Easter Sunday is the 5th of May in 2024. The problem is that Nostradamus used the Julian Calendar like today’s Orthodox Christians. Orthodox Easter Sunday this year falls on the 22nd of April, the tenth day before the Kalends of May in the Julian Calendar.
Since the ‘prince and the wall’ fall on the ‘great seventh number,’ Nostradamus suggests the earthquake and tsunami he predicts will occur on Easter Saturday. Because of the International Dateline, Easter Saturday on the West Coast of America is Easter Sunday in many parts of Asia, and the Gaul is an English speaker currently living in Asia and who eventually travels to France.
Moreover, nine months from Orthodox Easter in 2024 brings us to February 2025, and Nostradamus predicts the upsurge of violence in France will occur during February, March, and April.
It’s almost certain the two presidents who will die before WWIII are Obama and Biden.
Quatrain 1/42 is one of the most important prophecies of Nostradamus. It introduces the Goth – the English speaker who leaves Asia and to settle in Southern France. As the quatrain suggests, he has a great impact on Christianity and the development of the Catholic Church. But this quatrain has a second meaning; it gives the date of the great earthquake in California.
Michael Psellus: Michael Constantine Psellus (1018-1078) was an advisor to the Byzantine Court and a professor of philosophy. He mentions the Bogomil Easter Rite in On the Operations of the Demons, describing it in the following terms:-
‘They bring together, in a house appointed for the purpose, young girls whom they have initiated into their rites. Then, they extinguish the candles, so that the light shall not be witness to their abominable deeds, and throw themselves lasciviously on the girls; each on whoever falls into his hands, no matter whether she be his sister, his daughter or his mother For they think they are doing something that pleases the demon by transgressing god’s law.
… When this rite is over, each goes home, and after waiting nine months, until the time has come for the unnatural children of such unnatural seed to be born, they come together again in some place. There on the third day after the birth, they tear the miserable babies from their mothers’ arms. They cut the tender flesh with sharp knives and catch the stream of blood in basins. They throw the babies, still breathing and gasping onto the fire, to be burned to ashes. After which, they mix the ashes with the blood in the basins and so make an abominable drink, with which they secretly pollute their [unsuspecting Christians] food and drink.’
quoted in The Devil: A Biography
Good Friday 2023: In 2023, Good Friday was 7 April on the Gregorian Calendar and March 25 according to the Julian Calendar.
Bogamil Rite: The Bogamil Rite began on Good Friday and ended just over nine months later if the birth was timely. This year, the tenth Kalend was 7 January 2024 (Gregorian), exactly nine months after Good Friday 2023.
Apparently, the day we want is the thirteenth day after the Kalend, i.e. January 20. This differs slightly from the Rite described by Psellus which says the people gather on the third day after the birth.
The twentieth of January (Gregorian) is, of course, the seventh of January (Julian) as the Gregorian Calendar is thirteen days ahead of the Julian Calendar at this time.
Nostradamus seems to indicate that San Francisco will be destroyed by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami on 7 January 2024 (Julian).
