- One of the most famous predictions of one Michel de Nostradame,
better known to most people as Nostradamus, has, thus far, failed to materialise.
-
- Quatrain 83 of Century 9 states :
-
- The sun in twenty degrees of Taurus there will be a
very great earthquake. The great theatre full up will be ruined, The air,
the sky and the land darkened and troubled. Then the infidel will invoke
God and the saints.
-
- Nostradamus is, at best, ambiguous, esoteric and enigmatic,
At worst, completely unfathomable. He has, however, on many occasions,
been proved to be correct, and in light of this fact the preceding quatrain
is worth closer scrutiny. The first line gives a precise dating. As the
twelve sun signs corresponding to the year form a 360 degree circle, each
sign represents 30 degrees, with each degree, therefore, representing one
day. Nostradamus tells us that the sun is in "twenty degrees of Taurus"
meaning twenty days after the sun enters Taurus on April 21st. The date
he is giving is May 10th.
-
- Line two of the quatrain is interesting when you consider
Nostradamus wrote his predictions during the first half of the sixteenth
century and published them four hundred and forty six years ago. Could
the phrase "The great theatre" be trying to describe Los Angeles,
the movie capital of the world. To a man in the sixteenth century a vision
of the huge sound stages and movie studios that sprawl from Santa Monica
Boulevard northwards through Hollywood to Burbank in the San Fernando
valley could well evoke a "great theatre". It may also be possible
that Nostradamus is, in some way, attempting to describe a very modern
innovation that once again places the quatrain in California. The world
wide web, and the hi-tech offices of Silicon valley, the computing centre
of the world and therefore the hub of computerised information throughout
the world, could indeed seem to equate with a "great theatre"
to a man living in Nostradamus's time.
-
- There has been no major earthquake on the10th of May
since Nostradamus published his predictions in 1555. It therefore begs
the question, has Nostradamus seen a future Californian earthquake? If
this is what he is describing in this quatrain, May 10th. this year could
perhaps see one of the most catastrophic events of modern history. It is
a scientific fact that earthquake and volcanic activity around the world
has increased dramatically over the last three years, and over the last
six months there has been an unprecedented rise in seismic events around
the globe. Those scientists studying the San Andreas fault line that runs
the length of California are all of one accord when it comes to what Californians
call "The Big One". It is no longer a question of IF it will
happen, simply a question of WHEN.
-
- The consequences of a major earthquake along the San
Andreas fault line are too frightening to contemplate. The Turkish earthquake
of August 13th. 1999 killed 20,000 people. A similar earthquake in California
could kill millions. We live in a world where cynicism and scepticism
abound. Where people in the western world think nothing will change dramatically,
the status quo remains, life goes on and things just keep getting better.
Those who try to put an alternative message across or quote from the scriptures
or Nostradamus are denounced, yet anyone with half a brain looking at
the world around us can see that things are not as they should be. A change
is coming. Perhaps sooner than we imagine.
