CENTURIA III · QUATRAIN XCVI
The Tarpeian Rock
Chef de Fosan aura gorge coupee,
Par le ducteur du limier & hurier.
La faict patre par ceux de mont Tarpee,
Saturne en Leo 13 de Fevrier.
The chief of Fosan will have his throat cut,
by the leader of the hounds and greyhounds.
The deed done by those of the Tarpeian mount,
Saturn in Leo on the thirteenth of February.
THE MASTER SAYS…
This will happen after 2000. The quatrain relates to factions that will fight among themselves after the Antichrist. During the great uproar of this period, factions that will still be loyal to the Antichrist despite the fact that he is no longer on earth will kill one of the leaders of a hostile faction. These people will provoke various difficulties at this time, but as a result one world government will arise. I thought that after the death of the Antichrist people would have no desire to fight. This is rather political maneuvering that will cause the murder of this man. What do the hounds and greyhounds symbolize? The hounds are military dogs. That is how he perceives them. They take the trail of a wounded animal. They find it and devour it if they are not stopped. Greyhounds are another type of hunting dog, but they are more noble because they obey commands. This symbolism concerns different types of factions existing at this time. Later, when John could find the ephemerides of 2000, he calculated that it was February 13, 2036, when Saturn would be in Leo and Jupiter in Taurus. An interesting symbolism of Nostradamus is connected with the Tarpeian Rock. This rock is located on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, from which republican Romans threw criminals. This is another case where Nostradamus refers to Roman history in a cross-reference. Does this not mean that the murder was committed by those who were considered criminals or by factions protesting against the established order?
