CENTURIA VI · QUATRAIN XCVIII
The City Tainted
Ruine aux Volsques de peur si fort terribles,
Leur grand cite taincte, faict pestilent:
Piller Sol, Lune & violer leurs temples:
Et les deux fleuves rougir de sang coulant.
Ruin for the Volcae, of fear so terribly strong,
Their great city tainted, made pestilent:
Sacking the Sun, the Moon, and violating their temples:
And the two rivers reddening with flowing blood.
THE MASTER SAYS…
He says that this relates to an event that has not yet occurred. There will be a major city that will be almost completely destroyed by a volcanic eruption and an earthquake. He says that the rivers in the city will turn red not only from volcanic smoke, but also from the huge number of people who will perish in this great natural catastrophe. Is this the word Volcae? In French it is spelled differently. How is it spelled in French? (Spells) V-o-l-s-q-u-e-s. He says that this is an anagram of the name of a volcano. It is so close to the word “volcano.” No, it refers to a specific volcano. “To plunder the sun and the moon.” He says that there will be so much smoke and ash in the sky that you will not be able to distinguish night from day. Does he have an idea where this will be? He says that it will be somewhere in the New World. In a mountainous region with volcanoes. Does he know when this will happen? No. He says that he has told you everything he knows. Because of this it is difficult to warn people. Often it is so difficult to get people to let go of their daily lives. He says that you can go out to a street corner and shout: “This city will be destroyed by an earthquake! Run!” But they will not believe you until it actually happens.
