CENTURIA II · QUATRAIN XCI
The Northern Fireball
Soleil levant un grand feu on verra,
Bruit & clarte vers Aquilon tendant:
Dedans le rond mort & cris on orra,
Par glaive, feu, faim mort les attendans.
At the rising sun a great fire will be seen,
noise and brightness tending toward the North:
within the circle death and cries will be heard,
by sword, fire, famine death awaiting them.
THE MASTER SAYS…
He says that this quatrain contains a double meaning and a double date. One event has already happened, and the second has yet to come true in the future. The first half of the quatrain refers to the fall of the Tunguska meteorite in the early 20th century. Nostradamus says that it was “THEIR” ship, trying to make contact with us. Unfortunately, while landing beyond the northern polar circle, it crashed. The cause of the catastrophe was powerful magnetic cannons installed by Tsarist Russia for defense along the northern borders of the country. The powerful energy fields emitted by these installations disabled the aliens’ navigation instruments, which led to the crash of the spacecraft and the death of the beings on board. In special containers on the ship were microorganisms unknown to our science, which sooner or later will make themselves known. In the future they will cause severe epidemics and incurable diseases.
Regarding “THEM”: Nostradamus knows little about them. He was given to understand that there exists a “Chief Architect” of the entire world around us, and there exist his assistants who are able, with the help of a divine matrix and space-time particles, to create forms, including living and non-living matter. From them Nostradamus learned that the Earth is indeed round and that the Sun is merely a regional star, not the center of the entire Universe. From what he saw, it follows that we are not the only intelligent beings created by God, and many other of his creations are scattered throughout cosmic space.
About microbes: Nostradamus explains that images are primary, while verbal terminology is secondary. In his time it was believed that there were no microbes, and the first suspicion that they do exist arose in him when he became acquainted with the works of ancient Greek philosophers, in which they allowed the theoretical possibility of this. The Greeks believed that biological evolution tends to develop in the direction of the emergence of stronger and more resilient forms of life, rather than in the direction of smaller and weaker ones. The smallest units of matter the Greeks called atoms. In application to microbes, by analogy with the Greeks, he uses the words “atoms” or “small animals.”
