CENTURIA V · QUATRAIN XVI
The Specter Of Rhodes
A son hault pris plus la lerme sabee,
D'humaine chair par mort en cendres mettre,
A l'isle Pharos par croisars perturbee,
Alors qu'a Rodes paroistra dur espectre.
At its high worth the Sabine tear yet more,
of human flesh through death to ashes brought,
on the isle of Pharos by cruisers troubled,
when at Rhodes a hard specter will appear.
THE MASTER SAYS…
He says that this verse relates to the fact that nuclear weapons will be used during the battles with the Antichrist in the eastern Mediterranean region. This is the terrible spectacle that will be seen. This also relates to the lines “human flesh from death will burn to ashes.” “The tears of the Sabines will no longer have value”? Traditionally, the tears of the Sabines were considered a symbol of the precious stones of wisdom acquired through painful experience. People will no longer listen to past advice, experience and wisdom, and this will contribute to the holocaust caused by the use of the nuclear bomb. “The island of Pharos will be disturbed by the man of the cross.” This refers to the Antichrist. Why is he called the “man of the cross”? Because, before suffering complete defeat, he continues to try to put himself forward as the natural leader of humanity.
