CENTURIA IV · QUATRAIN XIV
The Return of Christ
La mort subite du premier personnage
Aura change & mis un autre au regne
Tost, tard venu a si haut & bas aage,
Que terre & mer faudre que on la craigne.
The sudden death of the first personage
will have changed and put another in the reign,
soon, late come at so high and low an age,
that land and sea will need that one fear it.
THE MASTER SAYS…
This quatrain concerns the first Antichrist, Napoleon, and how he will appear at a time when France is experiencing a transition from monarchy to republic. It may also relate to the future. A leader will appear who will be born after the time of troubles, who will be very young but highly advanced. He will be feared, but it will not be the same kind of fear you have at present. He is the embodiment of a great spirit. It will be like the return of Christ. Nostradamus says that he is not the same as Jesus Christ, but the situation is very similar. Is this connected with the personality we spoke of earlier, the Great Genius? Yes, this quatrain concerns both Napoleon and him. But the Great Genius will not be feared; he will be respected. He says that this is his interpretation of the quatrain. Translators thought that the quatrain refers to John Kennedy, the president of our time. They tried to attribute many quatrains to the Kennedy family. Translators are obsessed with them, are they not? Indeed, there are quatrains that relate to the Kennedy family, but not as many as they think. He says: “I knew they would be important people in your time, but their power will weaken. They are the embodiment of the ancient Roman Gracchi brothers.” The Gracchi brothers? I know nothing about them. “Dolores! You need to study your mythology! And your history!” That is what he said.
