The migrant crisis has dominated the recent news since June, when I first published this series of blogs on this and other up to date prophecies made by Nostradamus. Back in June, the significance of some of his references eluded me, but now his three quatrains that feature Pannonia (his classical name for Hungary) have become much clearer, given the reaction of the Hungarian government to fence off their entire country and arrest any migrants who enter.
The focus has shifted away from Libya back in June and now in September is centred on the Balkans as 5000 per day attempt to enter Central Europe. However, Croatia cannot cope and Germany and Austria have had to close their borders as Europe becomes disunited, just as Nostradamus foresaw.
What is truly remarkable about these prophecies which becomes more and more apparent as one studies them, is the amazing amount of geographical detail contained in these four compactly worded lines, termed quatrains. To have predicted with such stunning accuracy events some 450 years into the future time and time again, cannot have been merely the result of guesswork. I am no statistician, but the probability of someone guessing so much accurate information for events some 450 years into the future, that is about the year 2460, simply by guesswork, is so improbable that I would surmise that no one now could repeat his feat. One could certainly guess some possible events that might occur way into the future, but place names, I think not.
This calls into question everything we are told about seemingly rational people who are determined to exclude any notion that it is possible to see into the future, or that God or Goddess do not exist. Nostradamus describes his method for seeing into the future and he lays great stress that he cannot achieve this without divine intervention. He imitates the procedures used by the Sybils at classical oracular shrines such as Delphi, where the Pythoness Sybil became possessed by the God Apollo. So, it appears that because the nature of God/Goddess is united in one universal whole, then all time and space becomes as if one for the purposes of prophecy. The very nature of God/dess is thus unlimited through all time and material space which means that we are in fact a part of God and in our higher spiritual selves, capable of being at one with that indivisible whole. It is no coincidence that devil or diabolic is derived from the same root as the words division/divide. It is ironic that the current use of the term 'enlightenment' refers only to the rational mind and its definition of a factual basis, but excludes the emotional irrational spiritual half of the mind which encompasses the entire range of metaphysics and cosmology which the rational mind can only partially understand. True enlightenment is only achieved through oneness with the divine universal whole; a blissful reunion with our divine creator in meditation or prayer. Don't be fooled by the rational mind that it is the only source of the truth, or even of the facts.
How else could one explain how Nostradamus achieved such outstanding success? Either he saw what he was given to see, or he was told these geographical and other names; perhaps even a combination of both. When I realised that the word Senoise in relation to the Kouachi brothers in the Charlie Hebdo massacre, referred to Sana in Yemen where they went to train for their attack, then it underlined just how precise his geography was. Sana is the capital of Yemen, but is not that well known to people in the West and perhaps Nostradamus had never heard of it. In any case, he can be forgiven for not calling it Sanoise and perhaps he misheard what the divine will was relaying to him or the pronunciation of this Yemenese name sounds like Sena ?
As to quite why Nostradamus, or rather divine will, was devoting so much time to this migrant crisis and Islamic state; way beyond that which he spends on crucial events in the last 450 years, was perhaps because we have reached a critical phase in world history when the Apocalypse or Revelation of God/dess will become apparent and prophecies that pour out from the Books of Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel and so on, would finally reach their culmination.
For we live in strange exciting times ! Alongside my blogs on these Prophecies of Nostradamus are another series of blogs (Cf. Enigmatic Secret Code in Moustier Church Belgium) devoted to the prophecies of the coming Golden Age which so many famous artists and historic characters looked forward to.
Because a large amount of world history was directed towards the events that are unfolding now, it is precisely that fact which tells us the world is in crisis. But then I don't expect that will come as any great surprise to some readers. What will surprise many though, is how this great divine mystery is due to unfold and the covenant between God and mankind will be fulfilled with the return to the Garden of Eden. Incidentally, that very Garden never went away, it has always been with Mother Earth, but that is another story..........

Islamic State, possible prophecies in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
In my companion blog entitled 'Islamic State in the Prophecies of Nostradamus', no less than 5 quatrains could, with reasonable certainty, be assigned to Islamic State. Here below are a further 14 possible Islamic State quatrains.
Rain famine war in Persia will not cease
The faith too great will betray the monarch
By the end in Gaul commence
Secret augur for one to be sparing. 1-70
In 1978, Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah of Iran or 'Persia'. In this context, he began a process of radicalisation, 'The faith too great', that will lead to the creation of Islamic State. Presumably the Shah fell due to 'rain famine war'. The Ayatollah plotted his downfall in Paris hence 'commence' but perhaps 'By the end' refers to further outcomes in France of this radicalisation, hence the Charlie Hebdo massacre outlined in quatrain 1-18 as described in my companion blog entitled 'Charlie Hebdo in the Prophecies of Nostradamus'. If so, then the last line is a warning to not decide to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to further provoke extremist reaction.
After a rest they will travel to Epirus
Great help will come towards Antioch
The black curly haired will strive strongly for the empire
Brazen beard roasted on a spit. 1-74
Antioch is in Syria, while Epirus is in north west Greece. This may be a future prophecy concerning some sort of help for the dreadful Syrian civil war ? Cf 2-96 below, Persia invades Macedonia in north east Greece, which may refer to flight of refugees as an invasion, rather than a military invasion.
The fleet is wrecked near the Adriatic Sea
The earth trembles, pulled into the air and put in earth
Egypt trembles; augment Mahommed
The herald is sent out to call for surrender. 2-86
The first line appears to refer to the boat people, noted in my companion blog entitled 'The boat people, possible quatrains in the Prophecies of Nostradamus'. Line two is a fine description of missile explosions forcing the earth up and then raining down. If so, then perhaps Islamic State fighters, already in Libya, will overwhelm Egypt's secular government, especially as the latter had previously deposed the Muslim Brotherhood.
A burning torch in the sky at night
Near the end and source of the Rosne
Famine, weapon, late the help provided
Persia turns to invade Macedonia. 2-96
'Rosne' is possibly the River Rhone in France and 'A burning torch' may be a missile attack. Like the earlier quatrain 1-74, northern Greece is connected with either Syria and Iran or Persia.
On the fields of Media,Arabia and Armenia
Two great forces three times assembled
Near the banks of the Araxes the establishment
Of great Soliman in earth will fall. 3-31
This is a possible future prophecy of general conflict in Arabia, including Yemen, Armenia in eastern Turkey and Media in north west Iran; all within the reach of Islamic State. The River Araxes, now Aras, flows into the Caspian Sea, where perhaps an important regime will be overcome.
The leader of Persia will fill up great Olchade
A fleet of triremes against Mahometique people
From Parthia and Media and pillage the Cyclades
Rest a long time at great port Ionian. 3-64
The Cyclades Islands are in eastern Greece and Ionia in western Turkey. Again, like 1-74 and 2-96, there appears to be pressure from Middle East conflict impinging on this Greek island region. Parthia is in north east Iran.
People of Rhodes will ask for help
Abandoned by the neglect of their heirs
The Arab empire will assess its course
Its cause revived by the West. 4-39
The Isle of Rhodes lies off south west Turkey and it features in several quatrains in a possible context of Islamic State and more certainly of the current flood of refugees to the Greek islands. Whatever it is that they are denied help for, it clearly involves both the Middle East and the West.
The Arab prince, Mars, Sun, Venus, Lion
Reign of the church by the sea will succumb
Towards Persia very nearly a million men
Bizance, Egypt, true serpent will invade. 5-25
'Towards Persia' implies Iraq and Syria and the 'million men' who invade Egypt and Byzantium (Constantinople) is a distinct possibility in the future. Islamic State currently controls a population of 3 million and has a policy of national conscription, so such a figure is already feasible. The second line may mean that Christians will be wiped out in Syria and Lebanon , which is also possible.
By fire and arms not far from the Black Sea
Will come from Persia to occupy Trebizond
To tremble Phatos, Methelin, the Sun is bright
Adriatic Sea covered in Arab blood. 5-27
Trebizond is on the north Turkish coast, on the Black Sea. 'Adrie', if the Adriatic Sea, is between Greece and Italy, so again pointing towards Middle East conflict spreading into this region.
The great Arab will march well before
Will be betrayed by the Byzantines
Ancient Rhodes will come before him
The greater harm by other Hungarians. 5-47
In the boat people prophecies, the Hungarians are a generic for the eastern Europe area of the European Union and the Isle of Rhodes is used in the context of refugee flight. This compares with the following quatrain 5-48:
After the great affliction of the sceptre
Two enemies defeated by them
African fleet to Hungary will come forth
By sea and land will be horrible deeds. 5-48
The African fleet to Hungary, is comparable with 5-13 noted in my companion blog 'The boat people in the Prophecies of Nostradamus'. 'Horrible deeds' are indeed occurring 'By sea and land'.
In the fortunate Arab country
Will be born the power of the Mahommedan law
To trouble Spain and conquer Granada
And more by sea the Ligurian Sea. 5-55
Granada is in southern Spain, so whether these words apply to a military invasion, or one from refugees, is as yet unclear. There has been some terrorist attacks in this area but the words 'conquer Granada' imply something more invasive. The 'Ligurian Sea'is mentioned in other boat people quatrains in my companion blog 'The boat people in the Prophecies of Nostradamus'. Presumably, 'the Mahommedan law' refers to Sharia Law, which is a fundamental tenet of Islamic State.
When those of the northern pole unite together
The east will be in great fear and dread
A new one elected, sustained the great tremble
Rhodes, Byzantium, stained with barbarian blood. 6-21
Yet again, he emphasises how Rhodes and Constantinople (Byzantium) in Turkey, will be attacked. A number of quatrains refer to similar events; 3-64, 4-39, 5-25, 5-27, 5-47, 5-54, 5-86, 6-55, some of which are featured in this series of blogs. The 'northern pole' refers to Nato and the E.U., which has shielded Europe through unity since World War Two. Meanwhile, the East is indeed 'in great fear and dread'.
Between two rivers and then shut up
Casks and barrels joined to cross beyond
Eight bridges broken, their chief run through
Perfect children are slit by the throat. 8-53
The last line is clearly redolent of the terrible child massacres by Islamic State. 'Between two rivers' is a phrase exactly translates Mesopotamia, the ancient name of Iraq. The 'casks and barrels' is perhaps 16th century terminology for modern temporary bridges, akin to floating pontoons. The blowing up of bridges in this dangerous region is a distinct possibility.
Rain famine war in Persia will not cease
The faith too great will betray the monarch
By the end in Gaul commence
Secret augur for one to be sparing. 1-70

Islamic State in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
There are several quatrains in the Prophecies of Nostradamus that predict the rise of Islamic State and its effects on Europe.
Soubs l'opposite climat Babylonique
Grand sera de sang effusion
Que terre et mer, air, ciel sera inique
Sectes, faim, regnes, pestes, confusion.
Under the opposite Babylonic climate
Great will be the shedding of blood
That earth and sea, air, sky will seem unjust
Sects, hunger, kingdoms, plagues, confusion. 1-55
The 'opposite Babylonic climate', is a very concise explanation of how contrary the values of Islamic State are, to the West. Certainly there is great 'shedding of blood' in Iraq and Syria with so much injustice as he implies. The 'sects' are therefore the many complex Shia and Sunni sects and many people have indeed gone hungry. The plagues perhaps are yet to come, but no one can doubt the confusion which is occurring through so many kingdoms on Earth. The following quatrain, 1-56, probably continues this theme:
Vous verrez tost et tard faire grand change
Horrors extremes et vindications
Que si la lune conduicte par son ange
le ciel s'approche des inclinations. 1-56
You will see sooner and later great change made
Extreme horrors and vengeances
As the Moon is led to its angel
The sky approaches its inclinations.
The 'great change' is probably the effects of the conflicts in the Middle East and Africa with the resultant mass flight of refugees. 'Extreme horrors and vengeances' have already occurred in Syria and Iraq. The Moon is astrologically linked to sadness and one must assume that the last line is pointing to a great change during the cycle of ages.
Un qui des dieux d'Annibal infernaux
Fera renaistre, effrayeur des humains
Oncq' plus d'horreur ne plus dire journaulx
Qu'avint viendra par Babel aux Romains. 2-30
One who revives the infernal gods of Hannibal
Terror of humanity
Never more horror no longer will the papers say
That will come through Babel to the Romans.
The 'infernal gods of Hannibal' must relate to Baal Hammon, tutelary deity of Carthage, among others and thus relate to Saturn/Chronos in the Greek myth of him eating his own children. Certainly Islamic State are not averse to murdering children as well of other attrocities, Babel being Babylon in Iraq. The Romans are either the Italians, subject to the consequent migrant flow from Libya, or its the E.U., described as 'the Roman king of Belgium' in 5-13, noted in my companion blog, 'The boat people in the Prophecies of Nostradamus'.
Nouvelle loi terre neufve occuper
Vers la Syrie, Judee et Palestine
Le grand empire barbare corruer
Avant que Phoebus son siecle determine 3-97
New law occupies a new land
Towards Syria, Judeah and Palestine
The great barbarian empire crumbles
Before the century of the sun is finished.
A 'new law' certainly is found in the 'new land' of Islamic State' exactly as he predicts towards Syria and Palestine. Presumably 'The great barbarian empire' is Islamic State, which will 'crumble'; but the last line is more difficult to determine.
Il entrera vilain, mechant, infame
Tyrrannisant la Mesopotamie
Tous amis fait d'adulterine d'ame
Terre horrible, noir de phisonomie. 8-70
He will enter, wicked, infamous
Tyrannizing over Mesopotamia
All friends made by the adulterous of soul
Horrible land black of aspect.
Mesopotamia is the ancient name for Iraq. Its tyranny from Islamic State is now apparent, as he relates 'wicked, infamous'.The 3rd line is quite extraordinary in this context, because it is via 'friends' on social media websites such as Facebook, that young recruits are being radicalised; his 'adulterous of soul' is a brilliant description and recruited to Islamic State, so 'black of aspect'. A concise and inspired description of a venomous threat.
There are a further 14 possible Islamic State Prophecies in my companion blog entitled 'Islamic State, possible quatrains in the Prophecies of Nostradamus'. Other companion blogs concerning his prophecies are about 9/11, Charlie Hebdo, the Hubble Space Telescope, the boat people and so on.

The boat people, possible quatrains in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
In a companion blog entitled 'The boat people in the Prophecies of Nostradamus', no less than 7 quatrains could, with reasonable certainty, be said to prophesy the current Libyan boat people crisis. Another 7 quatrains, outlined below, may also refer to the same crisis.
Tours, Orleans, Blois, Angers, Reims et Nantes,
Cities troubled by sudden change
By foreign people tents will be pitched,
Rivers, dards rone, land and sea trembling. 1-20
This may refer to these cities being subject to many refugees, like the current 18,000 at Calais who have indeed 'pitched' their tents. Its feasible that the 'darts rones', is a reference to drones, especially as dards means darts. The 'land and sea trembling' would therefore be, the explosions of these missiles hitting their target. This can be directly compared with the next quatrain:
The fleet is wrecked near the Adriatic waves
The earth trembles pushed into the air and in earth put
Egypt trembles; Mahometan increase
The herald is sent out to call for surrender. 2-86
The 2nd line describes the missile (drone) explosion forcing the earth into the air and back down again. The 'fleet' of the boat people, is indeed 'wrecked near the Adriatic (Sea) waves'. (It is interesting that Islamic State have taken over Palmyra in Syria, which in Roman times was called Adrianopolis which might be a cross reference to Hadrie and similar in his Prophecies.) It appears that the last two lines reveal a future problem for Egypt with the rise of Islamic State and even the surrender of the country. Given the antipathy of the present Egyptian regime to the Muslim brotherhood, then this might come true.
After the great affliction of the sceptre
Two enemies by them will be defeated
African fleet to the Hungarians will come forth
By sea and earth will be dreadful deeds. 5-48
If the African fleet' is the boat people, then the reference to Hungary repeats that of 5-13, noted in my companion blog on the more definite references to the boat people in the Prophecies of Nostradamus, where people of Libya are chased from Hungary to Gibraltar. If 'the great affliction of the sceptre' is the oppressive regime of President Assad in Syria and Saddam Hussein in Iraq, then the two enemies may be defeated by Islamic State in both countries with the 'dreadful deeds' fully apparent.
The previous quatrain, 5-47, is probably related to the above:
The great Arab will march well to the fore
Will be betrayed by the Bizantines
The ancient Rhodes will come forward to meet him
And greater harm through the other Hungarians. 5-47
The mention of Rhodes is interesting, because the Greek Islands are overwhelmed with refugees and presumably Byzantium (Constantinople) in Turkey, has its fair share of foreign migrants as well. However, this is speculation and may not relate to 'The great Arab'.
Into Hungary through Bohemia, Navarre
And by the banner feigned sedition
The fleurs de lys countries carrying the bar
Against Orleans wiill be emotions 5-89
Here he names Hungary as 'Hongrie' rather than Pannonia and the connection with France may be historic or it may relate to future events in the migrant crisis. The reference to the bar is interesting because in 5-13 (Cf. The Boat People from Libya in the Prophecies of Nostradamus) he has 'Depuis Pannons jusques Hercules la hare' From Hungary to the pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) where 'hare' should perhaps be read 'bare' meaning column or pillar. This was in the context of the problems causing dissension in the EU and Hungary taking its own course at odds with other member states.
In the Cyclades, in Perinthus and Larissa
In Sparta and all of the Peleponesse
A very great famine, plague through false dust
It will last nine months in all the peninsula 5-90
These tragic events are certainly on the cards, as tens of thousands of migrants crowding into the Greek Islands including the Cyclades, have spilt out into Greece and the Balkans. Because so many of them cannot now go further north, the problems of disease and famine could become paramount in the temporary camps that they are establishing. Perhaps as winter approaches, some will refuge in the Peloponesse in the far south of Greece to escape the bitter cold of the Balkans ?
In the fortunate Arabian country
Will be born one powerful in the law of Mahomet
Will trouble Spain and conquer Granada
And more of the sea to the Ligurian people. 5-55
Granada is in the south of Spain where immigration may well become an issue and another more certain boat people quatrain in my companion blog on this subject; 4-68, also refers to the 'Ligurian' Sea. Perhaps the first two lines are about Osama Bin Laden, who was indeed from Arabia, but it may also be a prophesy that hasn't occurred yet.
Tours, Orleans, Blois, Angers, Reims et Nantes,
Cities troubled by sudden change
By foreign people tents will be pitched,
Rivers, dards rone, land and sea trembling. 1-20
This may refer to these cities being subject to many refugees, like the current 18,000 at Calais who have indeed 'pitched' their tents. Its feasible that the 'darts rones', is a reference to drones, especially as dards means darts. The 'land and sea trembling' would therefore be, the explosions of these missiles hitting their target. This can be directly compared with the next quatrain:
The fleet is wrecked near the Adriatic waves
The earth trembles pushed into the air and in earth put
Egypt trembles; Mahometan increase
The herald is sent out to call for surrender. 2-86
The 2nd line describes the missile (drone) explosion forcing the earth into the air and back down again. The 'fleet' of the boat people, is indeed 'wrecked near the Adriatic (Sea) waves'. (It is interesting that Islamic State have taken over Palmyra in Syria, which in Roman times was called Adrianopolis which might be a cross reference to Hadrie and similar in his Prophecies.) It appears that the last two lines reveal a future problem for Egypt with the rise of Islamic State and even the surrender of the country. Given the antipathy of the present Egyptian regime to the Muslim brotherhood, then this might come true.
After the great affliction of the sceptre
Two enemies by them will be defeated
African fleet to the Hungarians will come forth
By sea and earth will be dreadful deeds. 5-48
If the African fleet' is the boat people, then the reference to Hungary repeats that of 5-13, noted in my companion blog on the more definite references to the boat people in the Prophecies of Nostradamus, where people of Libya are chased from Hungary to Gibraltar. If 'the great affliction of the sceptre' is the oppressive regime of President Assad in Syria and Saddam Hussein in Iraq, then the two enemies may be defeated by Islamic State in both countries with the 'dreadful deeds' fully apparent.
The previous quatrain, 5-47, is probably related to the above:
The great Arab will march well to the fore
Will be betrayed by the Bizantines
The ancient Rhodes will come forward to meet him
And greater harm through the other Hungarians. 5-47
The mention of Rhodes is interesting, because the Greek Islands are overwhelmed with refugees and presumably Byzantium (Constantinople) in Turkey, has its fair share of foreign migrants as well. However, this is speculation and may not relate to 'The great Arab'.
Into Hungary through Bohemia, Navarre
And by the banner feigned sedition
The fleurs de lys countries carrying the bar
Against Orleans wiill be emotions 5-89
Here he names Hungary as 'Hongrie' rather than Pannonia and the connection with France may be historic or it may relate to future events in the migrant crisis. The reference to the bar is interesting because in 5-13 (Cf. The Boat People from Libya in the Prophecies of Nostradamus) he has 'Depuis Pannons jusques Hercules la hare' From Hungary to the pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) where 'hare' should perhaps be read 'bare' meaning column or pillar. This was in the context of the problems causing dissension in the EU and Hungary taking its own course at odds with other member states.
In the Cyclades, in Perinthus and Larissa
In Sparta and all of the Peleponesse
A very great famine, plague through false dust
It will last nine months in all the peninsula 5-90
These tragic events are certainly on the cards, as tens of thousands of migrants crowding into the Greek Islands including the Cyclades, have spilt out into Greece and the Balkans. Because so many of them cannot now go further north, the problems of disease and famine could become paramount in the temporary camps that they are establishing. Perhaps as winter approaches, some will refuge in the Peloponesse in the far south of Greece to escape the bitter cold of the Balkans ?
In the fortunate Arabian country
Will be born one powerful in the law of Mahomet
Will trouble Spain and conquer Granada
And more of the sea to the Ligurian people. 5-55
Granada is in the south of Spain where immigration may well become an issue and another more certain boat people quatrain in my companion blog on this subject; 4-68, also refers to the 'Ligurian' Sea. Perhaps the first two lines are about Osama Bin Laden, who was indeed from Arabia, but it may also be a prophesy that hasn't occurred yet.

The boat people from Libya in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
Out of about 942 published in the Prophecies of Nostradamus, about 60 mention the Middle East and Turkey by name, with a few others unnamed. Contrast this, with the almost complete lack of mention of the Far East. Clearly, he appears to be concerned with future events in this troubled region to the point that there appear to be anything up to 30 quatrains which discuss Islamic State and the boat people refugees. These seem to outline a consistent narrative, especially in its effects on Europe.
De l'Orient viendra la coeur Punique
Facher Hadrie et les hoirs Romulides
Accompagne de la classe Libyque
Temples Mellites et proches isles vuides. 1-9
From the Orient will come the Punic heart
To anger Hadrie and the heirs of Romulus
Accompanied by the Libyan fleet
Temples Maltese and close isles empty.
'From the Orient' is the Middle East and 'Punic' refers to Carthage, long time enemy of Rome; hence 'the heirs of Romulus' and Hadrie (the Roman emperor Hadrian). The result of the flight of the boat people refugees from Libya to Malta and the close islands like Sicily is a question over sanctuary, which temples once provided but which European countries don't wish to provide. This quatrain provides an astonishing range of geographical place names which fit the current situation, as it certainly is Italy under strain in this present crisis.
Les exiles en Sicile viendront
Pour delivrer de faim la gent estrange
Au point du jour les Celtes lui faudront
La vie demeure a raison, Roi se range. 2-71
The exiles in Sicily will come
For delivering from hunger the foreign people
At daybreak the Celts will fail them
Life lives by right, The king joins in alliance.
The boat people do arrive in Sicily, thereby being saved from their hunger and deprivation. The 'Celts' are presumably the British, who are refusing to take these refugees in, so perhaps 'Life lives (or remains) by right is a reference to European human rights which the British Tory government are seeking to withdraw from, but perhaps a new regime will rejoin the European alliance, though this looks like a future prophecy.
Grand Pau grand mal pour Gaulois recevra
Vaine terreur au maritin Lyon
Peuple infini par la mer passera
Sans eschapper un quart d'un million. 2-94
Great Po great harm for the French to receive
Vain terror to the maritime lion
Infinite people will pass by the sea
Without escaping a quarter of a million.
On 6th June 2015, BBC Radio 4 news announced that half a million refugees were already in Libya, with vast numbers heading there as well. We know that a large proportion of these will lose their lives crossing the Sahara or Asia and then in the Mediterrean Sea crossing. Nostradamus specifies a quarter of a million will die, 'Without escaping', as he informs us. Manwhile, British lorry drivers are avoiding the Calais sea crossing, being under sometimes violent threat from desperate migrants attempting to stow away in their trucks. The 'maritime lion' is probably the European fleet stationed off Libya in 'vain', due to the sheer numbers that will attempt to cross. If 'Pau' is the River Po in North Italy, then a huge tide of refugees will cross there into France and overwhelm the country.
En lieu bien proche non esloigne de Venus
Les deux plus grans de l'Asie et d'Affrique
Du Rhin et Hister qu'on dira sont venus
Cris, pleurs a Malte et coste Ligustique. 4-68
In a place very close not far from Venus
The two most great from Asia and Africa
From Rhine and Danube that one will say are come
Cries, tears to Malta and the Ligurian coast.
'Venus' as a place is possibly either Cyprus, where the Goddess was born and lived or more likely Syria, where as Atargatis she was called 'Dea Syria' the Syrian goddess and precursor of classical Venus in Cyprus, as Heredotus informs us in the C6th BC. The boat people are refugees from both Asia and Africa, fleeing conflict from Syria and from places like war torn Somalia; so perhaps 'The two most great' groups of refugees. Rhine and Hister, an old name for the Danube, refers to the E.U. once more attempting to deal with the tears of refugees in Malta and entering into Italy, where the Ligurian coast is. There appears to be some ironic comment of the perceived lack of help from Europe in the phrase 'that one will say are come'.
Par grand fureur le roi Romain Belgique
Vexer vouldra par phalange barbare
Fureur grinsseant chassera gent Libyque
Despuis Pannons jusques Hercules la hare 5-13
In great fury the Roman king of Belgium
Will wish to trouble by barbarian warriors
In gnashing fury will chase Libyan people
From Hungary as far as Gibraltar.
This is a stunning prophecy of unbelievable accuracy ! 'The Roman king of Belgium' is so obviously the E.U., being a modern version of the Holy Roman Empire based in Belgium. Wow is all I can say !
The great fury of the E.U. is concerned with barbarian warriors of Islamic State as well as warlords in Somalia, Afghanistan and so on, who are chasing from Libya a vast tide of refugees into Europe; as he says, 'From Hungary as far as Gibraltar' (note hare is probably a variant reading of bare meaning column, so the Columns of Hercules at Gibraltar). Pannonia is the ancient name of what is now Hungary and it is remarkable that it is precisely in Hungary, during August and September 2015, that the crisis loomed largest when the Hungarian government built a razor wire fence along the entire length of its border with Serbia. At the same time, it refused to allow the refugees to pass into Austria and Germany where they would be afforded safety, but under European pressure they are starting to relent on this policy. Once again, Nostradamus has emphasised Hungary in relation to the migration crisis with absolute accuracy and in my companion blog, 'The boat people, possible references in the Prophecies of Nostradamus', Hungary or Pannonia, appears to be cited in exactly the same context in quatrains 5-47 and 5-48 and possibly 5-89.
The following quatrain, 5-14, appears to continue this theme:
Saturne et Mars en Leo Espaigne captifve
Par chef Libyque au conflict attrape
Proche de Malthe, Heredde prinse vive
Et Romain sceptre sera par coq frappe. 5-14
Saturn and Mars in Leo, Spain captive
By Libyan chief in battle taken
Near to Malta, Heredde captured alive
And Roman sceptre smitten by a cock.
'Spain captive' by the Libyan boat people, is not hard to imagine, as the refugees pour in and 'battle taken' is presumably the current civil war in Libya itself. Once again, he confirms that it is 'Near to Malta' that the refugees will land and the 'Roman sceptre', being the aforementioned ruling E.U., is smitten by the aggressive cock of Islamic extremism. Heredde requires further research.
Its feasible, that both the two preceding quatrains, 5-11 and less likely, 5-12, are relevant to this boat people theme.
By the Sun, will not cross sea safely
Those of Venus will hold all of Africa
Their kingdom Saturn no longer occupies
And will change the Asian part. 5-11
If the first line is people of the Sun, then it would be those from warmer climes who certainly cannot cross the Mediterranean Sea safely and the mention of both Asia and Africa would be relevant. I noted earlier that Dea Syria was the goddess Venus, so perhaps 'Those of Venus' could be Islamic state in Syria having control of Libya ?
Companion blogs will deal with other possible boat people quatrains, and his prophecies concerning, Islamic State, Charlie Hebdo, 9/11, the Hubble Space Telescope and other subjects.

Nato and the rise of Asian states in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
Libra verra regner les Hesperies
De ciel et terre tenir la monarchie
D'Asia forces nul ne verra peries
Que sept ne tiennent par rang la hierarchie. 4-50
Libra will be seen to reign in the West
From sky and land hold the monarchy
From Asia forces no one will see perish
That seven hold by rank the hierarchy.
'Libra' rules peace and Nato has certainly kept the threat of war away from the West on both sky and land. It is clear that Asia has innumerable forces tat may not be seen, because they are civilian suicide bombers and terrorists, or simply forces that keep renewing themselves so they don't perish . The last line is a precise reference to the seven leaders of the G7, who indeed as the seven leading economic world powers, 'hold by rank the hierarchy'.
Other blogs in this series on the Prophecies of Nostradamus include 9/11, Charlie Hebdo, Islamic State, and the boat people, among other current affairs.

Hubble Space Telescope in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
Corps sublimes sans fin a l'oeil visibles
Obnubiler viendront par ces raisons
Corps, front comprins, sens chief et invisibles
Diminuant les sacrees oraisons. 4-25
The heavenly bodies without end to the visible eye
Will come to cloud for these reasons
Body, forehead together, senses head and invisible
Diminish the sacred prayers.
'Corps sublimes' translates well as 'heavenly bodies' where sublime means out of the ordinary world. The Hubble Space Telescope orbiting our Earth is sending us photos of space so remote, that it extends back over 13 billion years when stars were being created out of space dust. So why does this cloud our mind ? Because, such formidable technology has the unfortunate effect of still further reducing the 'sacred prayers' that unite our spirit with God/Goddess and with the iridescent natural world here on Earth. The difficult wording of the 3rd line seems to imply that the senses are being overwhelmed by virtual reality, designer drugs and chemical pollution, which have further separated the link between mankind and the natural world. Recent scientific experiments have even tricked the conscious mind into thinking it is invisible for short periods of time, although perhaps the line refers to a future technology.

World travel and nature under threat in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
Quatrain 1-63 is a general prophecy over the current period:
Les fleurs passes diminue le monde
Long temps la paix terres inhabitees
Seur marchera par ciel, serre, mer et onde
Puis de nouveau les guerres suscitees 1-63
Flowers in the past diminish the world
Long time peace to inhabited lands
Safely travel by sky, (serre), sea and waves
Then wars will start up again.
'Flowers in the past' certainly applies to much of northern France and other areas of intensive agriculture which diminish the joys of our resplendent world. Wild flowers, bees and song birds have disappeared from so many places. Ever since 1945, there has been relative peace in most of the world and safe travel has been possible for many, but he then warns us that wars will flare up once more. Quite likely, the consecutive quatrains 1-62 and 1-64, both link to the above prophecy, as both concern the present day.

Quantitative easing and easy credit in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
As this series of blogs describes, Nostradamus is clearly focussing on the inherent weaknesses in the Capitalist system in contrast to the eternal truth and happiness engendered by divine will:
Las qu'on verra grand peuple tourmente
Par la loi saincte en totale ruine
Par auttres loix toute la chrestiente
Quand d'or, d'argent trouve nouvelle mine. 1-53
Alas that we will see a great people tormented
By the sacred law in total ruin
by other laws all of Christianity
When of gold, silver, find new mine.
Erika Cheetham proposed that this quatrain referred to the French Revolution abolition of the clergy on 14th July 1790 and the the funds taken from this clergy as the new money. This undoubtedly was a major factor in this history, but it would appear that 'all of Christianity' would imply a more general area than only France. The torment of a 'great people' may be regarded as the current malaise in our materialistic society, ever wanting more 'shop till you drop' and the present temples of consumerism replacing the 'sacred law in utter ruin'.
consequently, at the very apogee of Capitalistic glee, is the utter vacuity of Quantitative Easing and easy credit both for individuals, as well as governments (find new mine), which is bound to end in tears, as it already has done in Greece.

The Charlie Hebdo massacre in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
The massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo occurred on 7 Jan 2015:
Par la discorde negligence Gauloise
Sera passaige a Mahommet ouvert
De sang trempe la terre et mer Senoise
le port phocen de voiles et nefs convert 1-18
By the French negligent discord
Will be a passage to Mohammed open
Of blood soaked the earth and sea Senoise
The port phocen of sails and ships covered (or convert?).
The first line elegantly describes how the cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo, insisted on publishing a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed, which is offensive to many Muslims and can be considered as racist, as well as contrary to the very aims of free speech it purports to support. Nostradamus uses the term 'negligent discord' which implies that the publication of this cartoon created the discord which provoked such a violent reaction; as had been witnessed in previous attacks in Denmark and the Netherlands, so in this respect, the editors were negligent and we are not all 'Charlie Hebdo' if free speech is knowingly used to provoke violent reaction. The 2nd line can be read in two ways, either referring to 'Mohammed open' as the cartoon of the prophet himself, or as opening up a line of Muslim attack on Paris.
'Senoise' is clearly not Siena in Italy, as Erika Cheetham believed, and Sens east of Paris may not be relevant either. In fact, the Kouachi brothers who carrid out the massacre were trained in Yemen by Al Quaeda. Sana or Sana'a is the capital city of Yemen, so a natural base for al Quaeda and their is currently war in that blood soaked land. furthermore, the Kouachi brothers were ostensibly visiting the Sana'a institute for the Arabic Language. The 'port phocen' is perhaps Marseilles, which was founded by colonists from Phocaea in west Turkey. This may refer to the mass immigration into this port of fleeing migrants, as covered in other quatrains, but perhaps also refer to the fact that Marseilles was the seat of Le Pen's racist Front National, which in turn has influenced much of the anti Muslim commentary in France. Its certainly a complex web of circumstance, which may mean this last line has not occurred yet.
Other blogs in this series refer to the Prophecies of Nostradamus in relation to recent events at 9/11, Islamic State, the Hubble Space Telescope and other current affairs.

The Twin Towers at 9/11 in the Prophecies of Nostradamus
I first published these three Nostradamus prophecies concerning the destruction of the Twin Towers in Sept 11 2001, in my book The Treasure of St Remy published in 2002, ISBN 1-84426-167-0:
Cris, pleurs, larmes viendront avec couteaux
Semblant fouir donront dernier assault.
Lentour parques planter profons plateaux
Vifs repoulsez et meurdris de prinsault. 10-82
Cries, tears, weeping will come with knives
Seeming to take refuge they will make a last assault.
Around the parks they will set up deep platforms
Quickly repulsed and murdered instantly.
The hijackers certainly did use knives to cause such tears and they had to take refuge and hide their identity before making their last suicidal assault. The World Trade Centre is precisely described as being in an area of 'deep (or high) platforms', his term for skyscrapers. The parks appear to be street names that surround the building; Park Place and Park Row two streets to the north and north east, Battery Park six streets to the south, while Battery Park City to the south west, tour guides inform us, is actually built upon the excavated material dug out from under the World Trade Centre when it was constructed. 'Quickly repulsed' is perhaps the air passengers failed attempt to retake the plane and 'murdered instantly' was clearly the result of the impact of the plane as it crashed.
The following quatrain 10-83, continues the theme:
The battle signal will not be given (initial anger against Afghanistan by the USA gave way to caution due to the dangers involved in attacking such hostile terrain where one million Russians previously were casualties), From the park they will be obliged to go out (the entire area of South Manhattan, including the four above mentioned park place names, had to be abandoned) From Gand and around will be recognised the banner. He who will put all his followers to death. 10-83
There can be little doubt that the last line refers to the followers of Osama Bin Laden, so willing to commit suicide for their cause. Everything now hinges on the place name 'Gand'. It is clearly not Gand or Ghent in Belgium, but in fact refers to the area around Kandahar in southern Afghanistan, which was where the Taliban emerged from and where Osama Bin Laden had his bases. Nostradamus would have read Strabo (Book xv,C,I,26) who calls that region Gandaritis and called the Gandara in other sources. The 'banner' therefore, is thus the banner of Al Quada.
Again, the preceding quatrain 10-81, concerns itself with global Capitalism, which our seer ironically compares with the religious worship it has replaced, hinting at the root cause of 9/11:
Treasure is placed in a temple by Western citizens, Withdrawn therein to a secret place. The temple open to hungry bonds, recaptured, ravished a terrible prey in the midst. 10-81
The first line is sheer brilliance: 'Western citizens' do indeed invest in 'hungry bonds' on Wall Street, which lies so close to the World Trade Centre, that it had to be shut down for several days. But it was precisely using those very Capitalistic means that secret monies were invested to finance the hijackings and, of course, the hijackers themselves withdrew to secret locations. The 'temple open' is an ironic reference to this basic flaw in Western Capitalism which the hijackers could exploit, which the authorities had to recapture after being ravished. 'A terrible prey in the midst' could be either party in this terrible war, where only ordinary citizens will lose their lives, either through terror brought to the streets of New York, or from the failed attempt by the Capitalistic model to impose its world view on the Arab world. Nostradamus appears to imply by the term 'hungry bonds' a replacement of holy endeavour in the spiritual temple by a rampant materialism, anathema to Al Quaeda and other fundamentalists.

Cris, pleurs, larmes viendront avec couteaux
Semblant fouir donront dernier assault.
Lentour parques planter profons plateaux
Vifs repoulsez et meurdris de prinsault. 10-82
Cries, tears, weeping will come with knives
Seeming to take refuge they will make a last assault.
Around the parks they will set up deep platforms
Quickly repulsed and murdered instantly.
The hijackers certainly did use knives to cause such tears and they had to take refuge and hide their identity before making their last suicidal assault. The World Trade Centre is precisely described as being in an area of 'deep (or high) platforms', his term for skyscrapers. The parks appear to be street names that surround the building; Park Place and Park Row two streets to the north and north east, Battery Park six streets to the south, while Battery Park City to the south west, tour guides inform us, is actually built upon the excavated material dug out from under the World Trade Centre when it was constructed. 'Quickly repulsed' is perhaps the air passengers failed attempt to retake the plane and 'murdered instantly' was clearly the result of the impact of the plane as it crashed.
