Nostradamus Prediction of Asian Earthquake and future War

While I would not call myself a believer in Nostradamus one of his quatrains stands out in relation to the current world situation.

Quatrain 3.3
Mars, Mercury, and the moon in conjunction,
Towards the south extreme drought:
At the bottom of Asia an earthquake is reported,
Corinth [Greece], Ephesus [Turkey] then in perplexity.

Anyone have any comments as to what this may mean or even if it speaks of the current situation?

is the perplexity in turkey and greece alluding to war? or a change from war?

turkey just took 6 zeroes off its currency in a positive stride against inflation.
$$$$$

curious because the allignment is there, here >update the window for the inner system.

have to wonder about Nostradamus, are all his predictions of equal importance and validity? or just shots in the dark, and sometimes they 'fit'?

Wow! Did I start this? Because I posted this much earlier in the day in another Nostradamus thread. I'm wondering if I got to start an internet rumor thingy! That would be cool!

I hope some one answers because I didn't get any feedback from my post...but I think it was because it was buried down so far in that thread.

wondering what the second line in the quatrain could be....

towards the south; southern hemisphere?

extreme drought; water or symbolic?

can antartica fit into this? the recession of glaciers?

www.sacred-texts.com... The above link provides a slightly different translation: Century 3, verse 3 Mars and Mercury, and the silver joined together, Towards the south extreme drought: In the depths of Asia one will say the earth trembles, Corinth, Ephesus then in perplexity. In the 1500's, Michel de Nostradame probably was thinking of the continent as the "depths of Asia", not an area deep under the Indian ocean. He's referred to oceans often, and would likely have mentioned it more directly. I really doubt that this predicts the tsunami.

Howdy folks...

Did a litle more investigation since my post in this thread...

www.abovetopsecret.com...

I appears to me at least, that the interpretation of the Quatrain may be in error...

Mars & Mercure, & Largent joint ensemble, Vers le Midy extreme siccit�E Au Fond d'Asie on dira Terre tremble, Corinthe, Ephese, lors en perplexite

Notice that in the quatrain he states Largent, Largent in French means money ( both gold and silver )...

french.about.com...

So...where did they get "silver" meaning the moon, and where did they get that Largent means silver ?

I always thought that in the quatrains Luna ment the moon...

Weren't Corinth and Ephesus mentioned in the Bible ? And in perplexity (perplexed) I wonder if it means that the church doesn't know what to do ?

Thinking in a manipulative way, i could say I see three things out of this. Drought in the south, the earthquake near sumatra and then the perplexity in turkey and greece:

28-DEC-2004 20:34:12 37.02 28.34 4.5 10.0 TURKEY
25-DEC-2004 20:22:19 34.43 32.10 4.2 39.0 CYPRUS REGION
20-DEC-2004 23:02:17 37.02 28.29 5.2 30.0 TURKEY
11-DEC-2004 21:03:23 39.20 21.58 4.5 39.0 GREECE

Maybe Greece is warming up for a big shaker and the south somewhere is headed for a drought.

Edit: There, pulled something from my butt to complete the prophecy

Hey, its south of Greece and Turkey, so it counts See how easy it is to make Nostradamus "prophecies" look real?

Edit #2:

Mars & Mercure, & Largent joint ensemble, Vers le Midy extreme siccit�E Au Fond d'Asie on dira Terre tremble, Corinthe, Ephese, lors en perplexite

Notice that in the quatrain he states Largent, Largent in French means money ( both gold and silver )...

Just think about it logically. Why would Mars and Mercury be in line with currency?

Sorry Valhall, I didn't see your post before on Nostradamus. I made this post ju)st because I was curious. But you know what they say, great minds think alike :-)

Well...

The more I look into this, the more I think the translation is in error ( and I am thinking logicaly )...

The literal translation from French to English is...

March ( or Mars )& Mercury & the money ioint together Towards the midy extr�me dryness, To the bottom of Asia one says to ground trembles, Corinthe, Ephese at the time in perplexity.

translate.google.com...

Doesn't make any sense to me...

You can get both the French and English versions here...

Argent in french = Silver in english

visit www.freedict.com... for translation

Largent in french = ??? in english

Could possibly be that hyphen missed and word is l'argent or "the silver" ???

I have some comments. Nostradamus was a fraud. He never accurately predicted anything. It is people who look to hard for things that see it that way. It is people who don't question everything they hear.

I honestly think that whenever something happens people will try and say that Nostradamus predicted it. Because the Nostradamus prophecies are so incredibly vague and open to interpretation they really can be applied to about anything.

I have the complete book of nOstradmus, while I am in fron to f my pc, here this:

I got something about the prediction of a tremendous tidal wave that will sweep into a resort and also overwhelm the man made structure in the skies. hmm think abou that.

I hope you are joking for your sake.

If you want me to give you some advice, read the following. What you read in those books and online are wrong. Not only are they completly inaccurate translations to start with, but they are skewed to fit current and past events.

Go take a look at the quatrain for instance that supposedly predicted the wrold trade center attack. I did some research on mis-translations in the Bible about a year ago. One of the things I stumbled across was the horrific translations of those quatrains. You can find about 10 completely different translations on each (none of which are actually acurate) doing a simple internet google search. Don't let yourself be fooled.

I'm sure I am being dense but could someone explain to me how the word "perplexity" is being used in this quatrain. All I know is it has left me perplexed.....

Quatrain 3.3
Mars, Mercury, and the moon in conjunction,

YOu have not quoted the passage properly apparently. Nost wrote Mars, mercury bound by the silver, or some such.

This demonstrates a major problem with nost's so called prophecies. They are so easily and quickly translated into something completely different.


Towards the south extreme drought:
At the bottom of Asia an earthquake is reported
The phrasing I am familiar with is in the center of asia

Corinth [Greece], Ephesus [Turkey] then in perplexity.

Or did he mean the cities of corinth and ephesus? Or cities that are symbolized by them? Or cities that play similar roles as them? Or any other interpretation? Again, another problem. Sloppy translations getting passed around, and even the proper translations are obscure.

L'argent means money because its the word in french for silver. French wouldn't call a peice of silver 'argent'. They'd say, 'L' argent", a contraction of Le and Argent. Or perhaps La, i don't know the gender of silver in french offhand. So it could mean the metal silver. Or it could mean money, credit cards, stocks, finance, etc. Or it could mean the silvery moon. Or anything else plausibly thought of as silver. Or money.

Why would Mars and Mercury be in line with currency?

Why wouldn't War and Communication line up with Profits?

I got something about the prediction of a tremendous tidal wave that will sweep into a resort and also overwhelm the man made structure in the skies

And what made you think this?

how the word "perplexity" is being used in this quatrain

Perplexity, chaos, disorder, unknown things are happening, secret orders, unclear chains of command, anything. Prophecies are uselss and pretty well meaningless when they are poetic. Now make them poems, in a different language, from a few hundred years ago, written by a person that even the advocates say didn't know what it was he saw, and add on top of that that he said he was writing/prognosticating usuing a secret methodology and symbolism that he himself invented and that he destroyed the sources he used for his methods, and you have something that is completely meaningless. And now people try to make it fit events.

Also, a prediction about an earthquake and tsunami is not terribly exciting. earthquakes constrantly occur, and its only a matter of trivial conditions occuring for a tsunami to occur and for that tsunami to be devastating. A prediction about natural disasters is pretty meaningless, especially if they are supposed to be associated iwth greece and turkey (turkey, aka asia minor) which are both extremely earthquake prone.

Mercury and Mars could reffer to the Roman Gods: Mercury - God of commerce and Mars - God of war -than this line has sense - commerce, war and money join together....

oo i like that, roman mythology fits here.. but then again, just as stated before, the harder we look, the more it makes sense to any of his quatrians

The quatrain goes like this

mars,mercury joined together,
towards the south a great drought,
in the bottom of Asia shall be a great
earthquake
Corinthe and Ephesus shall then be in perplexity

Explanation:
bad days for India(asia)
i have a book which was published in 1986 and i've read this some years ago
No changes have been made it is exactly written as given in the book
It goes like this

What does the future hold for India and the areas adjoining India,including Pakistan,Bangladesh and Afghanistan?A clear indication that the future is not going to be rosy is sent out by the above quatrain.
When the strange planetary conjunction takes place,(which is likely in the next decade),
the whole sub-continent shall go through a fiery ordeal.Drought shall hit the area.This is well conceivable,considering the ecological imbalances which have crept in due to massive modernization and mounting pressure on land due to explosion in population
These two together shall reduce the productivity of the land,lead to fall in food production,create drought conditions.Further,despite massive investment in big dams
,we still depend,to a large extent.on the whims of monsoon.Year after year,our farmers look up at the sky,unsure of how rain gods will react.Long years ago.Minoo Masani,in his book Our India,spoke of the erratic behaviour of the monsoons.We seem to be still stuck with that problem
But,what about earthquakes?
Firstly,the himalayas are relatively young mountain.The crest of the rocks,are not strong,firm,but rather lose and flaccid,as rock structures go.The slippage of the underbelly of the rocky terrian is a distinct possibility,even under normal conditions.But,as indicated elsewhere in this book,there have been massive constructive activities in the hilly ranges,seriously changing the ecology of the terrian.
The stage is thus being set for a major earthquake.Nostradamus warns of a major
earthquake with disastrous consequences not only to India,but to the areas,contiguous to India.

iam not sure wether it is related to tsunami or gujarat(India) earthquake on 26th January.
