CENTURIA IV · QUATRAIN XLII
The Sixty Gold Marks
Geneve & Langres par ceux de Chartres & Dole,
Et par Grenoble captif au Montlimard:
Seysett, Losanne par fraudulente dole
Les trahiront par or soixante marc.
Geneva and Langres through those of Chartres and Dole,
And through Grenoble, captive at Montlimard:
Seysett, Lausanne by fraudulent deceit
Will betray them for gold, sixty marks.
THE MASTER SAYS…
This quatrain relates to World War I. In this situation there are groups that want to resolve problematic things and balance inconsistencies before it is too late. One group is represented by the name Geneva, that is, a city in a country that has always been neutral. This group opposes groups that are very nationalistic. In addition, there is another group of people who were defectors and who, for sixty gold marks, sold France to Germany from within. The gold marks represent Germany. At first it seemed that all was lost for both groups — the neutral and the nationalistic. For a time it seemed that the traitorous group had gained dominance. Another moment that did not contribute to success — and he speaks of this by listing many different cities — was the tangled knot of diplomatic agreements between various European countries at that time. The ruling royal families of all states were interconnected. This quatrain is also applicable to events during World War II, and in this case the sixty gold marks especially concern those events when high-ranking representatives of Germany’s power were bought and sold like goods. Some of this can be applied to what will happen with the Antichrist, but the specific situation described is so vast and complex that almost anything can be applied to it.
