CENTURIA IV · QUATRAIN XCVI
The Elder Sister
La soeur aisnie de l'isle Britannique,
Quinze ans devant le frere aura naissance:
Par son promis moyennant verrifique,
Succedera au regne de balance.
The elder sister of the Britannic isle,
Fifteen years before her brother will be born:
Through her promise, by means of verification,
She will succeed to the reign of the balance.
THE MASTER SAYS…
Brenda said: “He says that this quatrain relates to the American and French Revolutions. It is about the withdrawal of the United States from Great Britain and their gaining independence, and then France, which overthrew the monarchy and became a republic. ‘Her ascent to the kingdom of Libra’ means the gradual appropriation by America of Britain’s monopoly on the sea and trade. Yes. In response to the arguments of those misguided ones who claim that he predicted only events in France, he would like to note that the American Revolution is connected with French history. Because the example set by the Americans inspired the French Revolution, as did everything that happened in France afterward. He says that at the same time the American Revolution was influenced by French philosophers, so it was a kind of exchange.”
