NOSTRADAMUS WRITES TO HIS SON CAESAR

Nostradamus wrote a very long letter to his favourite son Caesar, thus giving him important information concerning the future. We shall soon discover that some of the mentioned happenings may be in our very near future.

Your late arrival, Caesar Nostradamus, my son, has made me spend much time in constant nightly reflection so that I could communicate with you by letter and leave you this reminder, after my death, for the benefit of all men, of what the divine spirit has vouchsafed me to know by means of astronomy. And since it was the Almighty's will that you were not born here in this region ( Provence ) and I do not want to talk of years to come but of the months during which you will struggle to grasp and understand the work I shall be compelled to leave you after my death: assuming that it will not be possible for me to leave you such (clearer) writing as may be destroyed through the injustice of the age.

Nostradamus seems to be making an allusion to the Christian inquisition that was sanctioned by many of the Popes. Thousands of people were burned alive at the stake simply because they believed in scientific discoveries stronger than they believed in the way that religion was taught to them. They were forced to deny those scientific discoveries and, if they refused, which many of them did, they were fed to the flames while they were still alive. In those days, the church of Rome was full of murderers who were not afraid to kill those whose way of thinking was different than their own. Galileo's life was spared because he was forced to sign a paper saying that what he saw in his telescope was the work of a supposedly devil.

The key to the hidden prediction which you shall inherit will be locked inside my heart. Also bear in mind that the events here described have not yet come to pass, and that all is ruled and governed by the power of the Almighty God, inspiring us not by bacchic frenzy nor by enchantment but by astronomical assurances : predictions have been made through the inspiration of divine will alone and the spirit of prophecy in particular.

On numerous occasions and over a long period of time I have predicted specific events far in advance, attributing all the workings of divine power and inspiration, together with other fortunate or unfortunate happenings, foreseen in their full unexpectedness, which have already come to pass in various regions of the earth. Yet I have wished to remain silent and abandon my work because of the injustice not only of the present time but also for most of the future.

I will not commit it to writing, since governments, sects and countries will undergo such sweeping changes, diametrically opposed, that were I to relate events to come, those in power now - monarchs, leaders of sects and religions - would find these so different from their own imagining that they would be led to condemn what later centuries will learn how to see and understand. Bear in mind also Our Saviour's words: Ayatollah Sanctum dare By, nec ayatollah margaritas ante porcos ne conculent pedibus et conversi dirumpant vos (Do not give anything holy to dogs, nor throw pearls in front of the pigs lest they trample them with their feet, turn on you and tear you apart).

For this reason I withdrew my pen from the paper, because I wished to amplify my statement touching the Vulgar Advent ( I ), by means of ambiguous and enigmatic comments about future causes, even those closest to us and those which I have perceived, so that some human change which may come to pass shall not unduly scandalize delicate sensibilities. The whole work is thus written in a nebulous rather than plainly prophetic form. So much so that, Abscondisti haec a sapientibus et prudentibus, id est potentibus et regibus et eunuculeasti ea exiguis et tenuibus (you have hidden these things from the wise and the circumspect, that is from the mighty and the rulers, and you have purified those things for the small and the poor), and through Almighty God's will, revealed unto those prophets with the power to perceive what is distant and thereby to foretell things to come.

For nothing can be accomplished without this faculty, whose power and goodness work so strongly in those to whom it is given that, while they contemplate within themselves, these powers are subject to other influences arising from the force of good. This warmth and strength of prophecy invests us with its influence as the sun's rays affect both animate and inanimate entities. We human beings cannot through our natural consciousness and intelligence know anything of God the Creator's hidden secrets, Quia non est nostrum noscere tempora nec momenta (for it is not for us to know the times or the instants), etc.

So much so that persons of future times may be seen in present ones, because God Almighty has wished to reveal them by means of images, together with various secrets of the future vouchsafed to orthodox astrology, as was the case in the past, so that a measure of power and divination passed through them, the flame of the spirit inspiring them to pronounce upon inspiration both human and divine. God may bring into being divine works, which are absolute; there is another level, that of angelic works; and a third way, that of the evildoers. But my son, I address you here a little too obscurely.

Concerning the occult prophecies one is vouchsafed through the subtle spirit of fire, which the understanding sometimes stirs through contemplation of the distant stars as if in Vigil. Likewise by means of pronouncements, one finds oneself surprised at producing writings without fear of being stricken for such impudent loquacity. The reason is that all this proceeds from the divine power of Almighty God from whom all bounty proceeds.

And so again, my son, if I have eschewed the word prophet, I do not wish to attribute to myself such a lofty title at the present time, for whoever Propheta dicitur hodie, olim vocabutur videns; (He who is called prophet now, once was called seer) since a prophet, my son, is properly speaking one who sees distant things through natural knowledge of all creatures. And it can happen that the prophet bringing about the perfect light of prophecy may make manifest things both human and divine, because this cannot be done otherwise, given that the effects of predicting the future extends far off into time.

God's mysteries are great expanse of natural knowledge, having its nearest most immediate origin in free will and describing future events which cannot be understood simply through being revealed. Neither can they be grasped through men's interpretations nor through another mode of cognizance or occult power under the firmament, neither in the present not in the total eternity through Herculean efforts ( 2 ), things are revealed by the planetary movements.

I am not saying, my son - mark me well, here - that knowledge of such things cannot be implanted in your deficient mind, or that events in the distant future may not be within the understanding of any reasoning being. Nevertheless, if these things current or distant are brought to the awareness of this reasoning and intelligent being they will be neither too obscure nor too clearly revealed. Perfect knowledge of such things cannot be acquired without divine inspiration, given that all prophetic inspiration derives its origin from God Almighty, then from chance and nature.

Since all these portents are produced impartially, prophecy comes to pass, partly are predicted. For understanding created by the intellect cannot be acquired by means of the occult, only by the aid of the Zodiac, bringing forth that small flame by whose light part of the future may be discerned. Also, my son, I beseech you not to exercise your mind upon such reveries and vanities which drain the body and incur the soul's perdition, and which trouble our feeble frames.

Above all void the vanity of that most execrable magic formerly reproved by the Holy Scriptures - only excepting the use of official astrology. For by latter, with the help of inspiration and divine revelation, and continual calculation, I have set down my prophecies in writing. Fearing lest this occult philosophy be condemned, I did not therefore wish to make known its dire import; also fearful that several books which had lain hidden for long centuries might be discovered, and of what might become of them, after reading them I presented them to Vulcan (i.e. I burned them). And while he devoured them, the flame licking the air gave out such an unexpected light, clearer than that of an ordinary flame and resembling fire from some flashing cataclysm, and suddenly illuminated the house as if it were caught in a furnace. Which is why I reduced them to ashes so that none might be tempted to use occult labours in searching for the perfect transmutation, wether lunar or solar, of incorruptible metals ( 3 ).

But as to that discernment which can be achieved by the aid of planetary scrutiny, I should like to tell you this. Eschewing any fantastic imaginings, you may through good judgement have insight into the future if you keep to the specific names of places that accord with planetary configurations, and with inspiration places and aspects yield up hidden properties, namely that power in whose presence the three times (past, present, and future) are understood as Eternity whose unfolding contains them all: quia omnia sunt nuda at aperta, etc.

That is why, my son, you can easily, despite your young brain, understand that events can be foretold naturally by the heavenly bodies and by the spirit of prophecy: I do not wish to ascribe to myself the title and role of prophet, but emphasize inspiration revealed to a mortal man whose perception is no further from heaven than the feet are from the earth. Possum non errare, falli, decipi: although I may be as great a sinner as anyone else upon this earth and subject to all human afflictions. But after being surprised sometimes by day while in a trance, and having long fallen into the habit of agreeable nocturnal studies, I have composed books of prophecies, each containing one hundred astronomical quatrains, which I wanted to condense somewhat obscurely. The work comprises prophecies from today to the year 3797.

This may perturb some, when all the fullness of the Republic ( 4 ): these things will be universally understood upon earth, my son. If you live the normal lifetime of man you will know upon your own soil, under your native sky, how future events are to turn out. For only Eternal God knows the eternity of his light which proceeds from Him, and I speak frankly to those to whom His immeasurable, immense and incomprehensible greatness has been disposed to grant revelations through long melancholy inspiration, that with the aid of this hidden element manifested by God, there are two principal factors which make up the prophet's intelligence. The first is when the supernatural light fills and illuminates the person through inspired revelation, which is only a part of the divine eternity, whereby the prophet comes to assess what his divine power has given him through the grace of God and by a natural gift, namely, that what is foretold is true and the ethereal in origin (5). And such a light and small flame is of great efficacy and scope, and nothing less than the clarity of nature.

The light of human nature makes the philosophers so sure of themselves that with the principles of the first cause they reach the loftiest doctrines and the deepest abysses. But my son, lest I venture too far for your future perception, be aware that men of letters shall make grand and usually boastful claims about the way I interpreted the world before the worldwide conflagration which is to bring as many catastrophes and such revolutions that scarcely any lands will not be covered with water ( 6 ), and this will last until all has perished save history and geography themselves.

This is why, before and after these revolutions in various countries, the rains will be so diminished and such abundance of fire and fiery missiles shall fall from the heavens that nothing shall escape the holocaust. And this will occur before the last conflagration. For before war ends the century and its final stages it will hold the century under its sway. Some countries will be in the grip of revolution ( 7 ) for several years, and others ruined for a still longer period. And now that we are in a republic era, with Almighty God's aid, and before completing its full cycle, the monarchy will return, then the Golden Age ( 8 ).

For according to the celestial signs, the Golden Age shall return, and after all calculations, with the world near to an end - encompassing revolution - from the time of writing 177 years 3 months 11 days ( 9 ) - plague, long famine and wars, and still more floods from now until then. Before and after these, humanity shall several times be so severely diminished that scarcely any shall be found who wishes to take over the fields, which shall become free where they had previously been tied. This will be after the visible judgement of heaven, before we reach the millennium which shall complete all. In the firmament of the eight sphere, a dimension whereon Almighty God will complete the revolution, and where the constellations will resume their motion which will render the earth stable and firm, but only - non inclinabitur in saeculum saeculi (He will remain unchanged for ever) - until His will be done. This is in spite of all the ambiguous opinions surpassing all natural reason, expressed by Mahomet; which is why God the Creator, through the ministry of his fiery agents with their flames, will come to propose to our perceptions as well as our eyes the reasons for future predictions.

Signs of events to come must be manifested to whomever prophecies. For prophecies which stems from exterior illumination is a part of that light and seeks to ally with it and bring it into being so that the part which seems to possess the faculty of understanding is not subject to a sickness of the mind. Reason is only too evident. Everything is predicted by divine faith ( 10 ) and thanks to an angelic spirit inspiring the one prophesying, consecrating his predictions through divine unction. It also divests him of all fantasies by means of various nocturnal apparitions, while with daily certainty he prophesies through the science of astronomy, with aid of sacred prophecy, his only consideration being his courage in freedom. So come, my son, strive to understand what I have found out through my calculations which accord with revealed inspiration, because now the sword of death approaches us, with pestilence and war more horrible than there has ever been - because of three men's work - and with famine. And this sword shall smite the earth and return to it often, for the stars confirm this upheaval and it is also written: Visitabo in virga ferrea iniquitates eorum, et in verberibus percutiam eos ( I shall punish their injustice with iron rods, and shall strike them with blows ). For God's mercy will be poured forth only for a certain time, my son, until the majority of my prophecies are fulfilled and this fulfilment is complete.

Then several times in the course of the doleful tempests the Lord shall say: Conteram ergo et confringam et non miserabor (therefore I shall crush and destroy and show no mercy); and many other circumstances shall result from floods and continual rain ( 11 ) of which I have written more fully in my other prophecies, composed at some length, not in a chronological sequence, in soluta oratione (in prose), limiting the places and times and exact dates so that future generations will see, while experiencing these inevitable events, how I have listed others in clearer language, so that despite their obscurities these things shall be understood: Sed quando submovenda erit ignorantia, the matter will be clearer still.

So in conclusion, my son, take this gift from your father M. Nostradamus, who hopes you will understand each prophecy in every quatrain herein. May immortal God grant you a long life of good and prosperous happiness. Nostradamus Salon, France, I march 1555.

A frightening letter is it not? Inundations, wars, meteors and then some fiery missiles falling from the celestial vault above us. Following that, there will be a great world wide conflagration. Does Nostradamus mean that a great conflict could be a great conflagration or is he trying to tell us something else? I think that he is trying to tell us that the earth will undergo some tremendous changes such as natural disasters, continuous floods, great changes in the weather pattern, etc. I strongly suspect that the earth will also be hit by a series of fiery meteors that will consummate most if not all earthly cities.

Most dictionaries define a conflagration as such... a big destructive fire, a cataclysm, a conflict, a war, a global conflagration, etc, etc. Nostradamus may have given us a good clue concerning that great conflagration. He says that before that conflagration many lands will be inundated and then fiery missiles, possibly huge meteors, will be falling onto the planet. It does not sound like a period of time that we wish to live through, does it? Those are events that are getting closer and closer to us as every day goes by. For more information concerning the great conflagration, tune in to the presentation "End time prophecies". You have been provided with the link that follows : End time prophecies

The great clairvoyant also seems to say that, after a great calamity or possibly a great conflict or after a series of smaller conflicts, the monarchy would return to the planet. So will come the golden age after a thousand years of peaceful co-existence. He also says that, during those events, the population of our world will be diminished several times. The pestilence and the effects of various conflicts could bring death everywhere. That conflict could be more horrible and more terrible than all other previous conflicts that mankind has ever lived through.

Nostradamus says that some of those earthly conflicts will be caused by three men. He has labelled them in some of his quatrains as major Antichrists. We have already discovered that the first of those three fanatics was Napoleon the first, the second was Adolph Hitler and I will shortly divulge to you the identity of the third one who is to make himself known on the international scene in years to come.

In the following quatrain, that the great seer has given us, he tells us that some day the people of our planet will be the viewers of a big fiery celestial star. Could the meaning be an asteroid that has become a big meteor after entering into the earth's atmosphere? We will obviously be greatly affected by that star (sun) for a period of seven consecutive days. It will definitely be a very calamitous event for all of the inhabitants of our planet. As a matter of fact, it will most definitely resemble a great conflagration because two suns visible in our skies instead of one can only result in disastrous effects for our planet. I suspect that the conflagration mentioned will cause all of the ice from both poles to completely melt, resulting in all low lands to be completely inundated. The result being the greatest flood that modern man will ever be the recipient of. The latest findings by scientists, concerning the melting of the poles, are very disturbing. The north pole has been melting at a fantastic rate. Last year the glaciers had receded a further nine miles.

The planet earth may soon resemble the movie that was made and which was labelled water world. If you have not seen that movie, I suggest that you do. Rent it out for an evening's entertainment, you will be looking at the possible future of our planet.

The following quatrain of Nostradamus is very disturbing because it is describing a very strange event.

La grand' estoille par sept jours bruslera,
Nuee fera deux soleils apparoir:
Le gros mastin toute nuit hurlera,
Quand grand pontife changera de terroir.
Century 2 quatrain 41

The great star shall light up the sky for a period of seven days,
In the sky it will seem as if two suns have appeared,
The wolf ( le gros mastin ) shall howl all night,
When the Pope shall change his territory.

The above descriptive quatrain is very frightening, is it not? A fiery meteor, or a giant boulder resembling a second sun, will someday approach our planet. It will be seen by the people of this world for a period of seven consecutive days. It will most certainly be a very disastrous event for all of the people of our planet. The writings of Revelation and the prophecy of Fatima have told us the same thing. Some day a big meteor (s), perhaps many kilometres wide will hit the oceans turning its waters into vapours. Scientists have discovered that three of those giant boulders are already circling the earth. It is just a matter of time, perhaps a few years at the most, before that dreadful happening.

Could it be God's vengeance on us for not accepting his new envoy, his new Messenger? The gros mastin mentioned in those writings represents a wolf howling at the moon at night and that moon is a symbol that is imprinted on the flags of many eastern countries. That same symbol, the moon, can also be found in the writings of Revelation, it symbolically represents the seventh major world religion.

The particular event, which is mentioned in one of his quatrains, could very well be an event which will occur during the unfolding of a series of calamities. It would seem that the Pope will be forced to run away from Rome as Popes have often had to do in the past. Perhaps that event will occur during the unfolding of calamities triggered by the third Antichrist. It will be an event that will bring many calamities to all the people of this world and whereby numerous miseries will definitely follow.

Nostradamus says that all of the things that he has mentioned to us are governed by the power of God. He also says that other people will come to this world who will also be infused with the knowledge of future events. They will be God-sent but who will want to listen to them?

In his writings, the great scribe does not refer to himself as a major prophet but he seems to allude to himself as someone similar to a seer or a clairvoyant whose gift has definitely been given by God. However, he seems to fit the description better when alluded to as a wise man or as a scribe of which the Bible spoke about.

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city. Matthew 23 : 34

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kills the prophets, and stones them which are sent unto you... Matthew 23 : 37

In the long letter that Nostradamus wrote to his son Caesar, he says that only through Divine inspiration was he able to put into writing numerous forthcoming events pertaining to the future. He also says that he would not meddle with the science of the occult. As a matter of fact, he says that he has burnt all books in his possession which contained any references to that false science.

It is quite obvious that some of us who are searching for the truth have already discovered that Jesus was not the only Messenger that was sent to us during the Christian era, the age of Pisces. There is no doubt in my mind that Nostradamus was one of those wise men sent by God. The majority of the people of this world will not accept him as such, especially many religious teachers who reject everything which they do not seem to understand.

If the inquisition alluded to was still enforced today, you and I would be burned alive at the stake for merely mentioning his clairvoyance or mentioning his name. We would be burned alive by the Christian church and we would also be declared as heretics before been sentenced to death in such a cruel fashion. It would seem that, in the past, many leaders of the Christian church were murderers who sent people to their deaths without even as much as batting an eyelash. They did this in the name of religion that they had taken complete control of.

One day, I overheard a local radio announcer saying that a well known local Bishop, whom I shall not name for obvious reasons, had told him that the writings of Nostradamus were Satanic and that Nostradamus was a false prophet. It is quite obvious that the Bishop who made that statement does not understand his own Holy book which is the Bible and which gives us all the necessary clues on how to determine who is a false prophet and who is not.

It is so easy for religious leaders to condemn the writings of someone whom they do not understand and before they do a real investigation of the content of those writings. Are they trying to do the same things as they did in the past when they used to index certain books and forbade the Christians to read them? Tell me : what are they afraid of? Are they afraid that they are wrong and that the people of this world will turn against them when they discover the truth? Are we to return to the days whereby books of authors that are disliked by certain churches will be burnt and destroyed? Will great libraries be put to the torch again in a similar manner that the Christian church of Rome burned to the ground the great world renown library of Alexandria.

By the way, one day I saw that same bishop again at a university graduation which I was attending because my youngest daughter was also graduating. I was amazed at how this bishop had allowed his own ego to float so high up, right up to the ceiling. He began his speech, which lasted close to one hour, by saying that he was happy that he had entered into the priesthood because it had brought him great honours. All of the time that he was speaking, he kept on adjusting his priestly garments.

Needless to say, I walked out of the room and remained in the corridor until he had finished his litany because I knew that I would not learn anything new there. However, I was forced to listen to him speak because his speech was broadcasted over many of the adjoining corridor speakers. Have we ever been taken in by such people who have bursting egos? Are we not more open minded than our ancestors?

The following is what Christ himself has told us concerning false prophets, especially about people who speak in a fancy manner and with a golden tongue.

"Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear. Can grapes be picked from friars, or figs from thistles? In the same way, a good tree always yields good fruit, and a poor tree bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, or a poor tree good fruit. That is why I say you will recognize them by their fruits. Matthew 7 : 15 to 7 : 20

The symbolic tree, Nostradamus, has been producing good fruits for the past 400 years. In other words, his writings have been very fruitful for that period of time and are continuing to do so. We have no choice but to say that he has passed the test of a true seer and that he definitely was one of God's envoys to humanity during the age of Pisces.

There is another counselling being given in the writings of the Apostle John. It is telling us exactly what to do when confronted with the fact that other people seem to have additional knowledge of God. We are told to investigate them to insure that they are truly of God and that they are not false apostles trying to lead us into error or trying to extract as much money as possible from us.

Beware of fancy talking television preachers because some of them are very rich, they keep on asking for donations. They get rich at your expense and with your money which you give them. They have a golden tongue. Beware! Beware, some of them do not teach the truth because they do not know the truth, they have never investigated it. All they want from you is all the money that you are willing to give them, they want as much of it as they can possibly get so that they may get materially richer and richer....

The following prophecy, that the Apostle John has recorded, tells us not to trust everyone who claims to be knowledgeable about God.

But do not trust any and every spirit, my friends; test the spirits, to see whether they are from God, for among those who have gone out into the world there are many prophets falsely inspired. This is how we may recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit which does not thus acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is what is meant by 'Antichrist'; you have been told, that he was to come, and here he is, in the world already! 1 John 4 : 1-2-3

Nostradamus also told his son, Caesar, that he has made books of prophecies and that each one contains a hundred Stanzas which he has assembled obscurely. He labels them as perpetual prophecies. Those prophecies began happening during his own era. They will continue far into the future, they will continue to the year 3797. He also says that before the great conflagration, the big destructiveness of the earthly cities, we shall be the recipients of many great floods. The floods will be so severe that scarcely any land will not be touched by it, with the exceptions of high lands. All low lands will be inundated, they will all perish.

The earth will also be the recipient of a multitude of burning stones which could be meteors coming from outer space. Nostradamus says that those fiery objects will consume everything in their paths. Are those events all part of the great conflagration? If so, the population of the earth will most definitely be decimated if not completely annihilated.

In his writings, Nostradamus alludes to the planet Mars as a warning sign for mankind. However, how many are listening to his good advice? He also says that many people shall be gathered together when our solar system will be closely by the Aquarius sector. The age of Aquarius began on May 23rd, in 1844, when our solar system physically entered into the proximity of the Aquarius constellation which is also part of our Zodiac. Which means that our solar system, which consists of our sun and all of its planets, had left the vicinity of the previous constellation which was the constellation of Pisces and which represents the Christian era. Pisces is symbolically represented by the sign of the fish.

In 1844, the twin comet Biela made its appearance in our skies announcing the beginning of the new age and the coming of new twin God-sent Messengers. If you wish to know more about them, I suggest that you read the presentation that pertains to the complete unsealing of Revelation and especially the one pertaining to the "Return" of Christ.

What is meant by "many shall be gathered during the reign of Aquarius"? That may seem far fetched. However, tune in to Revelation unsealed and to the explanations of the rapture because that is what Nostradamus is talking about. God will save His chosen and only His chosen from the forthcoming calamities. They are those who are constantly searching for the truth and who have become God's servants in attempting to pass on their new discoveries.

There is a biblical prophecy which alludes to the removal of mankind to a very far away place, let us review it.

Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate. And the Lord has removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. Isaiah 6 : 11-12

The prophecy of Isaiah states that the Lord God will take mankind to a far away place. Where could this place be? I have researched many of God's holy books in order to discover the answer to that question and I have found the answer, it was very well hidden in one of them. People of this planet, God's chosen, will be taken to a beautiful system which stands out in the heavens as a string of beautiful pearls. It is known as the Pleiades, it is a multiple solar system that is contained within our Zodiac. It has seven suns and it is often referred to by astronomers as the seven sisters.

Whom are the people that God will save and take away to a far away place? The answer to that puzzle may be found in the writings of the second book of Esdras which also tells us everything that is going to happen at the termination of the age of Pisces which is the Christian era. With the termination of the age of Pisces comes the new age, which is the age of Aquarius. The second book of Esdras, also tells us what will happen to God's chosen during that new era that began on May 23rd, in 1844.

Listen, you whom I have chosen, says the Lord; the days of harsh suffering are close at hand, but I will rescue you from them. 2 Esdras 16 : 74
