Nostradamus' most famous doomsday prediction warns future generations of a King of Terror descending from the skies in July 1999. This holy terror could be linked to the Third Antichrist who may be the fearsome Mabus of C2 Q62 or the North African Terrorist from C2 Q30 who is from the land of the infernal Hannibal's God. "Baal" was also called "Hammon," a name that can mean "Lord of the Sky."
Many interpreters have tried to understand the prophetic significance of Nostradamus bringing back to life the Roi 'Angolmois (the great King of the Mongols) by the last July of this millennium. Genghis Khan united the Mongolians of the Central Asian steppes into an all-conquering army that forged the largest land empire in history. The vast Islamic western wing of his empire included modern-day Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and the Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union.
Genghis Khan was one of history's greatest kings of terror. Tens of millions died in the bloody conquests initiated by the warlord and his successors, and his record of devastation and genocide is appalling. According to the prophet, Genghis Khan and his empire are now returning: the warlord has been brought back to life. In 1990 in a major propaganda campaign, the leaders of the People's Republic of China restored Genghis Khan to his "rightful" place in Chinese history.
The final line makes a cryptic reference to Mars. A consideration of the occult meaning of this planet which, in conventional wisdom, represents the God of war and mayhem, opens up the possibility of a positive outcome in the future. The phrase "before and after Mars rules happily" can be interpreted to mean that the higher aspect of Mars, as the God of magic and spiritual transformation, "rules happily" in the new millennium.
In this gloomy prediction of the coming of the Third Antichrist in July 1999, Nostradamus seems to foresee the coming of the Millennium. He was greatly influenced towards this opinion by contemporary thought. This quatrain indicates that it will be preceded by the coming of the Third Antichrist from the East, "the king of the Mongols," before the Final Coming of the Great King of Terror. It is interesting to note that Nostradamus foresees war both before and after his coming. He, therefore, does not envisage an instant End of the World.
At forty-five degrees, the sky will burn,
Fire approaches the great new city,
Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up
When they want to have verification from the Norman
(Century VI, Quatrain 97)
In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude. Experts agree this could only be New York.
The king will want to enter the new city,
By fire he will destroy their city,
Earth-shaking fire from the center of the Earth.
The young lion will overcome the older one,
This quatrain foretelling the death of King Henry II of France in a jousting accident is one of the most
famous, predocumented, and successfully fulfilled prophecies in history.
In June 1559, Henry II ignored all warnings that Nostradamus gave him and participated in a jousting
tournament against the Comte de Montgomery. Both men used shields embossed with lions.
Montgomery was six years younger than Henry. A tournament is a field of ritual single combat.
During the final bout, Montgomery failed to lower his lance in time. It shattered, sending a large
splinter through the king's gilded visor (golden cage). Along with minor punctures in the face and
throat, there were two mortal wounds. One splinter destroyed the king's eye; the other impaled his
temple just behind the eye. Both penetrated his brain. Henry lingered for ten agonizing days before
dying a cruel death.
The blood of the just will be demanded of London,
The Great fire destroyed London in 1666.
Before the war comes,
On July 14th, 1789 the walls of the Bastille, the prison which stood as a symbol to the detested monarchy, were stormed. This was a precursor to the revolution that shook France, and to the rise, and fall, of the guillotine, that stood on the banks of the River Seine.
PAU, NAY, LORON will be more of fire than of the blood,
This quotation is vintage Nostradamus. He is employing one of his favourite devices: the anagram. "PAU, NAY, LORON" when rearranged becomes NAPAULON ROY, or Napoleon the king, given the Corsican spelling of his name, Napauleone. The text also describes him as a man of 'fire', or of war, rather 'than of the blood', or of royal lineage. The 'Piuses' of the third line are the Popes Pius VI and Pius VII, who were both imprisoned by Napoleon as the fourth line suggests.
From the deepest part of Western Europe
Beasts ferocious with hunger will cross the rivers,
In the year very not far from Venus,
Liberty will not be regained,
The shocking and infamous armed one will fear the great furnace,
Hitler is referred to as Hister - not only be name but by birthplace.
Hister is the Latin for the river Danube on whose shores Hitler was born.
The first quatrain provide general background - his parents were poor
- his power as an orator needs no description here - and of course Hitler
had a catastrophic influence over Japan, the Kingdom of the East.
The ancient work will be accomplished,
The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt,
As per his prediction - JFK was shot in the day, at 12 noon, and his brother Robert Kennedy
was shot at night, at 1 am. The last line dates the assassinations. For there were
student riots in London and Paris in 1968, and in 1966 a flood hit Florence that
prompted fears of pestilence. JFK was shot in 1963 and his brother in 1968. The alleged
conspiracy that surrounded the assassination was the subject of another of
Nostradamus' quatrains.
Lee Harvey Oswald was reputed to have shot Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Book
Depository, is this 'the roof' that is mentioned in second line? Or is 'the roof' a metaphor for the conspiracy performed by the CIA, previously Kennedy's protection, his 'roof'. The third line suggests that Lee Harvey Oswald was in fact innocent, and 'the misty wood' of the fourth line may describe either the trees around the grassy knowle, or the misty woods of the secret service.
Through its enemies they will come to subdue it
Captives liberated to speak and act falsely,
King to be outside, he will keep far from the enemy.
In the path of the hollow mountains,
It will be seized and plunged into the Vat,
Drinking by force the waters poisoned by sulfur.
(Century X , Quatrain 49)
A cold and cruel heart,
Blood will pour,
Mercy to none.

Two great rocks for a long time will make war,
And then Arethusa will color a new river red.
(Century 1, Quatrain 87)

The two greatest ones of Asia and of Africa:

First the chosen one, the captives not returning
The world's lowest crime, the Angry Female Irale - Israel - not at ease,
Barb, Hister, Malta, and the Empty One does not return.
And from the roof evil ruin will fall on the great man:

The guilty one is hidden in the misty copse.
(Century 6, Quatrain 37)
The evil deed predicted by the bearer of a petition:

Conflict in Reims, London, and pestilence in Tuscany.
