Golden age
The greatest prophet Michel Nostradamus has predicted time, in which we now live, as the Golden Age. Each quatrain has a number, in which the year is encrypted. In a prophecy 9.17 events are described before the Golden Age.
Quatrain 9.17 Golden age
Le tiers premier pis que ne fit Neron,
Vuidez vaillant que sang humain respandre
R'édifier fera le forneron,
Siècle d'or, mort, nouueau Roy grand esclandre.
The third one first does worse than Nero,
How much human blood to flow, valiant, be gone:
He will order to restore the arc,
Golden Age, dead, new King, great scandal.
In the beginning of quatrain is spoken, most likely, about the third antichrist. About antichrist Nostradamus writes also in other quatrains (8.77, 3.59, 10.66), and all of them about Stalin. There is a big similarity between Stalin and Nero. "All Nero's actions have been aimed to simplify ordinary citizens lives and to strengthen his authority due to popularity among people" [Wikipedia]. They both pay attention to science, wrote poetry. Both promoted the personality cult, was afraid of a plot, they destroyed the "enemies of the people". But most importantly, both were extremely violent. Suetonius Tranquillus wrote about Nero: he put to death unstintingly and at random anyone for any deed. But such personalities, and worse, in the history there were many. Why he is "the Antichrist"? Antichrist means against Christ! Nero and Stalin were the pursuers of the Christian religion. Nero is counted as the first persecutor of Christians – torture and executions of Christians were the most violent. The founders of the Christian Church, Peter and Paul, were executed during the reign of Nero. Under Stalin churches were destroyed or used for other purposes. The believers and priests were persecuted. In 1932 the Soviet Union was declared the campaign for the total abolition of religion.
The second line of the quatrain: "How much human blood to flow, valiant, be gone:", probably, about the victory over the Nazis. The concept of the "Golden age" does not fit the Second world war, which killed tens of millions of people. But the war contributed to the growth of industry, especially heavy: aircraft construction, shipbuilding, etc. Together with industry, science evolved too. During the war had made the greatest discovery of the 20th century, nuclear energy, which after the war became widely is using for peaceful purposes, for the production of electricity.
The third line of the quatrain, if considered in connection with the second line, speaks about triumphal arch- the Brandenburg gate in Berlin. It was restored in 1945.
The fourth line of quatrain begins with a Golden age. It is our time. If 1 put before the number of quatrain we will get1917 – the year of the great October Revolution. It radically changed life all over the world. In the next decades many countries of the world changed the social system. Only in 1918 year about 40 monarchies ceased to exist. Republic replaced the monarchy. This is a more democratic society, aimed at protecting the interests of the people, but not the ruling elite.
Before the Revolution working day was about 12-14 hours in the factories. Workers rented angle in the barracks. After Revolution the country entered the normal working hours and safe working conditions, and wages were increased. Everywhere was introduced free universal education and free health care. Russia literally transformed in 10 years. The Russian Revolution changed many things not only in Russia, but also abroad. Workers all over the world fought for the improvement of their lives, and concessions were made for them, because capitalists were afraid of revolution. The improvement of working conditions and life increased working interest in the results of job. The labour productivity increased. Liberation of labour in the capitalist countries has led to unprecedented scientific and technological progress.
For during 70 years there are no global wars, catastrophes, epidemics, famine. High technology has facilitated the work. Many are living with the conveniences that have never existed before. Many have cars. At any time of the year you can eats tropical fruits, relax on the tropical coast. People learned to fly in Space and swim under water. Social pension, medical insurance, unemployment benefits and other social. programs support people in old age and in difficult situations. These elements of socialism are in many countries of the world. Maybe the better period will be in future, but in the past better than now was not. Now time is a Golden age!
It is necessary to tell about the negative consequences of the "Golden age" – it is overpopulation. In 1930 year the population of the world was estimated at roughly 2 billion people, by the beginning of the 21 century it has grown 3 times. Such a significant increase in population in less than 100 years, is a consequence improve their lives, increase fertility and life expectancy. However, such a rapid population growth is a disaster for the planet. Rapidly developing civilization like a cancer that sucks out of the land of all that is possible. Wars, epidemics, all kinds of natural disasters are kind of immunity of the planet from overpopulation.
In the 4th line of the quatrain, after the "Golden age", followed by the word "death". Apparently, it is about Stalin. "The new king" after him was Khrushchev. "Big scandal" may mean censure and condemnation Stalin's personality cult. The number of the quatrain 9.17 explicitly specify the year of Revolution, 1917, through which came the Golden age.
Quatrain 3.94 Admiration by the century
De cinq cens ans plus compte l'on tiendra,
Celuy qu'estoit l'ornement de son temps:
Puis à vn coup grande clarté donrra,
Que par ce siecle les rendra trescontens.
In 500 years during which more will take into account,
The one who was the ornament of his era:
Then with a shock great clarity he will give,
Which by this century will bring them great contentment.
In this prophecy Nostradamus calls the Russian revolution a coup. The reference in 500 years, apparently, is specified approximately. Many do not feel that living in a Golden age because each person is in life their problems and troubles. But as they say, you will not know happiness until you lose it. All will end overnight and the chaos of world war 3. It predicted in quatrains: 9.31, 1.55, 4.67.
Quatrain 5.41 Renewing the Golden age
Nay sous les vmbres & iournee nocturne
Sera en regne & bonte souueraine,
Fera renaistre son sang de l'antique verne,
Renouuellant siecle d'or pour l'airain.
Born in the shadows and a night day,
He will be sovereign in realm and goodness:
He will cause his blood to rise again in the ancient urn,
Renewing the age of gold for that of brass.
The first line is associated with St. Petersburg (place of birth) and its white nights (night day).
The third line is consonant with the quatrain 10.72 (date of birth).
Renewing the age of gold. We can understand this as the renewal of the Golden Age for Russia. Throughout the world this century was interrupted by the Second World War. Moreover, in USSR the Stalin period is difficult to attribute to the golden age: on the one hand, the power and scope of the country has increased, on the other – repression and famine have led to the death of millions of people. Also Yeltsin's rule cannot be called golden, when there was a sharp decline in production and the impoverishment of the people. Putin’s coming to power can be considered a renewal of the golden age for Russians. The people, for the most part, got out of poverty: they began to buy cars, apartments, go abroad.
Quatrain 5.32 End of the Golden age
Ou tout bon est tout bien Soleil & Lune,
Est abondant sa ruyne s'approche,
Du ciel s'aduance vaner ta fortune,
En mesme que la septiesme roche.
Where all is good, the Sun all beneficial and the Moon
Is abundant, its ruin approaches:
From the sky it advances to change your fortune.
In the same state as the seventh rock.
There are problems and troubles in the life of every person, so many do not feel the sweetness of this century. As they say, you will not know happiness until you lose – when disasters begin, then people will understand and will remember this time as the Golden Age. It will end overnight, and Apocalypse will begin. Seven global disasters will follow one after another during several decades. There will be also good intervals between catastrophes. Everything will begin with the third world war, which will be nuclear. Then the new Great Flood will happen, the fiery Comet will complete the extermination. All this shall be considered as retribution for our sins. Out of the seven billion people now living, there are only several hundreds of thousands people which are worthy to inherit the Earth.
Some interpreters refer the Golden Age, predicted by Nostradamus to a distant future. At the beginning of the next civilization there will be Golden time which will last not only one century, but about а thousand years. This is also predicted. But these quatrains, no doubt, speak of our time.
