CENTURIA V · QUATRAIN LXXXI
The Royal Bird
L'oiseau royal sur la cite solaire,
Sept mois devant fera nocturne augure:
Mur d'Orient cherra, tonnerre esclaire,
Sept jours aux portes les ennemis a l'heure.
The royal bird above the sunlit city,
seven months before will give a nocturnal omen:
the Wall of the East will fall, thunder and lightning,
seven days at the gates the enemies at the hour.
THE MASTER SAYS…
(Sighs) So many pictures. Several different events? Yes. But the wall I saw is what you call the Berlin Wall. I saw a bird and the sun, symbolizing peace and sunlight. The first picture that came to my mind is the destruction of the wall. It would be good if this happened. It says: “The royal bird over the city of the Sun will give a nocturnal warning for seven months.” What does this symbolize? I think the seven months refer to a cycle, where seven is a very special number. It refers to a cycle of time, from beginning to end. During this period there will be upheavals and disruptions of communication, but the wall will be destroyed. From the beginning of the destruction there will be a cycle of seven. “Thunder and lightning. After seven days the enemies will head straight for the gates.” It seems this refers to the same time, and I only see the wall collapsing. What is thunder and lightning? It seems to me it symbolizes upheavals. At that time or before? The time of the whole cycle. Before the wall is destroyed, some upheavals will occur. This translation seems the most symbolic, but what other scenes did you see? Basically they were scenes from other periods and other wars. This one seems the most relevant. I was wondering whether the royal bird could refer to the eagle, which is the symbol of the United States. Well, that is possible. It seemed to me that this bird symbolizes peace. Therefore I think that the fall of the wall, as he showed it, meant that the time of unification of East and West is approaching. He used it as a symbol of peace and sunrise.
