PROPHET
NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTS
HALLEY
EVENTS IN 1985-1986
A
recent cable television special on the Prophecies of Nostradamus, featuring
Orson Welles as commentator, mentioned the disasters which would accompany the
return of Comet Halley in 1985-86 according to Nostradamus. Readers who are interested in learning more
about Nostradamus and his prophecies are referred to THE COMPLETE PROPHECIES
OF NOSTRADAMUS, translated, edited and published by Nostradamus Co., Oyster
Bay, N.Y., from which we have gathered this information.
Nostradamus
was born in 1503 in Provence (France).
He practiced medicine and gained fame as a “healer” during the
plaque. At one point, suspected of a
heretical remark, he was summoned before the Inquisitor. Rather than appear, he took to wandering for
several years. In 1500 he published an
almanac of prophecies for the coming year.
Based on its success, he spent two years writing the CENTURIES –
a complete set of prophecies dealing with events from his time to the end of
the world in the year 3797. His
prophecies were written in “quatrains,” (verses of four lines). The CENTURIES are not calendar years,
but series of 100 quatrains.
Nostradamus died in 1566 at the age of 63.
The two quatrains (#43 and #62) referring
to Comet Halley are found in Century II.
According to the editor’s commentary on page 57 of the volume cited
above, the reappearance of Halley’s Comet in 1985 will again presage profound
changes in human destiny:
Quatrain #
43:
During the time when the hairy star
is apparent,
The three great princes shall be made
enemies,
Struck from heaven, place quaking
earth,
Arne, Tiber, full of surges, serpents
cast upon the shore.
Again on page
63, the commentary reads: “The coming of the comet shall occur in the period of
reconstruction, and there will be vengeance for wrongs inflicted on humanity by
selfish interests”.
Quatrain #
62:
Mabus shall come, and soon after
shall die,
Of people and beasts shall be a
horrible destruction,
Then on a suddent the vengeance shall
be seen,
Blood, hand, thirst, famine, when the
comet shall run.
Whatever
your opinion of the prophecies of Nostradamus, his fame lives on today despite
villifiers and detractors during his lifetime and in the centuries that have
followed. Nostradamus’ popularity
fluctuates from time to time. His
description of Roman Catholic Popes is often cited as an example of his uncanny
accuracy. Some have claimed that his
“prophecies” were no mere than “ambiguous guesswork,” but many of his prophecies
seem too precise and accurate to be dismissed as mere guesswork. We leave it to our readers to decide for
themselves. If the mail to Halley’s
Comet Watch ’86 is an indication of how people feel about the possible
relationship of Halley’s Comet to the unfolding of natural phenomena and human
events, then we feel there is probably a large body of support for the
prophecies of Nostradamus.
