CENTURIA V · QUATRAIN XXVII
The Blood-Red Adriatic
Par feu & armes non loin de la Mer negre,
Viendra de Perse occuper Trebizonde:
Trembler Pharos, Metelin, Sol alegre,
De sang Arabe d'Adrie couvert l'onde.
By fire and arms not far from the Black Sea,
one will come from Persia to occupy Trebizonde:
Pharos, Metelin, Sol alegre will tremble,
with Arab blood the Adriatic wave covered.
THE MASTER SAYS…
The chapter also mentions Centuria V, Quatrain 27, but the text of the quatrain itself is not given in the book — only the interpretation. Nostradamus reported that, as a result of fierce fighting in the region of the eastern Mediterranean, including the region of the Black and Caspian Seas, the Adriatic Sea would be filled with the blood of Arabs. The leader of Persia (Iran), who at first will not be taken seriously, will eventually show his true face and become a threat to the whole world.
