CENTURIA VII · QUATRAIN XXXIII
The Two False Friends
Par fraude regne, forces expolier,
La classe obsesse, passages a lu2019espie:
Deux fainctz amis se viendront rallier,
Esveiller haine de long temps assoupie.
Through fraud the reign, forces plundered,
the fleet distressed, passages spied upon:
two feigned friends will come to rally together,
awakening hatred long lulled asleep.
THE MASTER SAYS…
He says that this relates to two different things. On the one hand, it relates to the American Civil War, and on the other, to events that have not yet occurred. He says that it still relates to America, and that in the coming years, over the next decade or so, unrest will grow in the United States. He says that the system of government will become increasingly cumbersome, will spend too much money, and this will destroy the economy. Large-scale changes will be required, otherwise it will collapse under its own weight. He says that America itself will survive, but the people in power will be broken. Changes will be necessary, and if everything goes as it should, the changes will be for the better. Because as the government becomes more and more cumbersome, it continues to encroach on the rights of the people. But when the old structure is destroyed and a new, more just and balanced one is built, the people will gain freedom. It seems there is a parallel here with what he saw during the Civil War? It is simply a matter of using one quatrain to designate two different events. He does not say that it will be like the Civil War. It will not be a country divided into parts. It will be a people rising up and saying: “This is absurd. Something must be done.” Sometimes he uses parallels because the situations are very similar. He says that in this case it is not so. It is simply a matter of two different references. And this must happen within the next decade, he said. This is already too close to feel comfortable. Nostradamus mentioned three major natural disasters that will occur in our country during the 1990s.
