Personalities From Nostradamus Prophecy

We will limit ourselves to those figures who are likely alive today, that is, largely those who will be involved in World War III and the years that immediately follow. We will take this speculation as far into the future that is possible. Bear in mind that we cannot know with certainty that any of these prospective candidates are indeed the figures in question. However, I feel they do represent the best discernable choices for prophetic fulfillment based on the current world situation.

Some of these individuals also appear in Biblical prophecy, Islamic prophecy, and Catholic and Old European prophecy. To the degree that they do, they may appear in brief or at length on pages devoted to these other visions of the future. It may also be necessary to discuss some of these other prophecies on these Nostradamus pages.

Hi Mike

... I hope to get some time to write in greater detail who I guess "Chiren" is. I believe that the Danish Crown Prince is the best candidate. He is an elite soldier, educated in what is similar to the Navy Seals, but he is also educated in the army and the Danish airforce. His father is French.

Frederik André Henrik Christian, Prince of Denmark, Crown Prince was born on 26 May 1968. The Crown Prince is the son of HM Queen Margrethe II and HRH Prince Henrik of Denmark.

Or possibly his son Prince Christian Valdemar Henri John, whose mother Mary Elizabeth Donaldson was born an Australian of Scottish heritage.

Danish coat of Arms

Merlin Ambrosius :
A prince of royal stock shall come forth, crowned from the northern parts --- to his own people unexpected, but desired by foreigners --- who, because he shall bear a "rampant lion" shall therefore be called a lion. He shall advance his conquering armies against his enemies and by woeful successes shall harness the territories of neighbor Princes.

"He shall exceed Alexander the Great in virtue and Cyrus in success. He shall cross the sea and be saluted Emperor by many kings. A certain ancient city he shall lay level with the ground. (Damascus anyone ?)

"In the meanwhile a powerful Prince out of the East shall provoke him to battle. Against whom the Lion shall march with all his forces and pitching his camp on the side of the Euphrates, shall await him. If the prince shall come over the river the Lion shall be overcome; but the Lion shall cross the river with his army and give his enemy a bloody defeat and be master of all the East.

St. Hilarion :

Then will a Scourge of God come and chastise them, a Lion, which will reign a long time over the nation. The Lion will come from a high mountain in the Enlightened Nation between the Rhine and the North Sea, with a great army meet them by the mouth of the Rhine River and in a fierce battle almost entirely annihilate them.

I believe very strongly that Nostradamus meant Denmark, when he wrote Dannemarc or d'Annemarc.

I will make my case below.

Centurie 4, qatrain 27

Notice that in the third line above, the french text says ”Dannemarc” where the english translation only says ”Annemark” and for some strange reason changes the last letter ”c” to a ”k”. In the Danish version it was traslated into ”Prince of Denmark”, where my danish dictionarry says that the correct french spelling nowadays is ”Le Danemark”. In in old Danish, Denmark was called ”Dannemark”, that is almost identical to the french spelling of Nostradamus. Today the correct spelling of Denmark in danish is ”Danmark” !

But if you search for the text "Dannemarc" on Google, then you will find that this is the old french spelling for Denmark.

http://www.ilab.org/db/book2091_1359.html , Notice the text above the picture. It says: CARTE DU DANNEMARC.

Centurie 6, qatrain 41

Centurie 9, qatrain 33

Centurie 10, qatrain 86

English Like a griffin will come the King of Europe, Accompanied by those of ”Aquilon”: He will lead a great troop of red ones and white ones, And they will go against the King of Babylon.	French Comme un gryphon viendra le Roy d'Europe, Accompagné de ceux d'Aquilon, De rouges & blancs conduira grand troupe, Et iront contre le Roy de Babylon.
Griffin, Griffon or Gryphon	Danish Flag

Danish soldiers has been fighting in iraq until last year, but they are still fighting in the southern Helmand Province in Afghanistan togethter with Dutch, English and US troops. The Danish force consist of 690 men. This held together with the Muhammed cartoons have made us more unpopular than the US and Israel, in Muslim countries worldwide, at least for the time being.

I hope that you are feeling better now, healthwise and in all other matters as well, and wish you and your family a happy easter.

All the best

Hi Mike,

... Mike, your article below (and that is what it truly is, an article) regarding Chiren is amazing and well thought out. I think you may actually be right about this. However, after close inspection, I am not sure if Prince Frederik André Henrik Christian is Chiren, victor of a third world war, or if it is his son, Prince Christian Valdemar Henri John who is yet another great leader Nostradamus mentions as being the liberator of a fourth world war, a king from above the 50th degree of latitude.

First, I must ask: one of the images is missing or will not appear in any case. I have the image of Crown Prince Frederik. Is the other image, the missing one, the Danish coat of arms? Is there really 'a rampant lion' in the coat of arms?

His son is a 'lion' twiceover then too if his mother is a Scot.

Regarding Merlin Ambrosius: before he mentions the prince of royal stock from the 'northern parts' he predicts the rise to power of several other figures.

Merlin Ambrosius :
There will come a German Anti-Pope. Italy and Germany will be sorely troubled. A French King will restore the true Pope.

"After the destruction of England by seven kings there shall come a dreadful dead man, and with him a Royal Great Monarch of the best blood in the world and he shall set England on the right way and put out all heresies. He shall be the last King over England.
"When the tail of Virgo shall enter Leo, and Scorpio shall ascend the back of Sagittarius, the northern kingdoms shall end in lust; and the power of the Island Monarchies shall be harnessed.

"Cruel wars shall be scattered by the wind -- whose beginnings were by a staff: their growth and continuance by bastards and gulled by a revengeful hail.
"Those on whom these things shall come, for grief and sorrow pine away. A prince of royal stock shall come forth, crowned from the northern parts...

As you can see, quite a bit happens before the 'rampant lion' of 'royal stock' from the 'northern parts' appears!

The German antipope, I suspect, is none other than Pope Benedict XVI. Merlin mentions the comming civil wars in Italy and Germany (also predicted by Erna Stieglitz and the Seer of Waldviertel) that will happen prior to World War III. The next sentence appears for the next 1500 years after Merlin in so many different ways in so many different prophecies: 'A French King will restore the true Pope.' Many call this last king of France before the end of the world 'the Great Monarch' and the true Pope is often called 'the Great Pontiff.'

I should also point out that Nostradamus mentions five future heroic figures who will be liberators following times of great wars, of warfare so great we can only call them world wars. The big question I think we must all ask is which world war is Chyren/Chiren the victor of? It has long been assumed, even by myself, that he is the victor of World War III ... but what if he is the victor of World War 4? For Nostradamus mentions two great monarchs to come: one who is clearly French, and another who is Germanic with Trojan blood (and Danish would also qualify as being Germanic as it is perched atop Germany and is even in dispute over certain territories claimed by Germany). And it is far from certain in the quatrains if Chyren/Chiren should be applied to the French monarch or the Germanic/Danish one.

There is one thing we do know, however, from studying many of the prophecies other than those of Nostradamus: the first great monarch/liberator, whatever his name shall be, will be French and his reign, though great, shall be short (no more than 7 years). Compare this with the Germanic/Danish monarch whose reign shall be 57 years in length!

The timming for the Royal Great Monarch of England (Imperator 2) is intended by Merlin to bridge the period between the French monarch (Imperator 1) and the Germanic/Danish monarch (Imperator 3 or 4). The seven kings may be an alliance of Muslim nations that shall attack Great Britain during World War III, making this monarch a likely successor of the French monarch's which Nostradamus names as Ogmios, the hermetic god of the Celts and Britons, mentioned again in his Epistle to Henry II as the youngest of three royal brothers, the eldest who has 'the furious crown lions with their paws upon the escutcheon' as his coat-of-arms (which happens to be the British coat-of-arms). The youngest of the three Windsor brothers, of course, is Prince Edward. Thus, as incredible as it may sound, Prince Edward may very well be the second leader of this future European empire or EU. Eventually more members of the royal family are given authority over other parts of Europe and the realm ultimately gives way to civil war due to the actions of the eldest lion, Charles (possible archetype for the beast of Rev 13). The Arab and North Africans are appealed to by some factions as allies and the whole mess takes a good ten years to clean up. No sooner than order is finally restored by Edward, then 'those of the Attila and Xerxes' descend upon Europe and World War 4 begins. Ultimately it shall be a much older Prince William who shall lead Great Britain out of this terrible war with the aid of the comming third or fourth leader of the European empire, yet another 'Great Monarch', which brings us to your interpretation.

The cruel wars end (World War 4) ... and finally we have the 'rampant lion' from 'the northern parts' (Prince Christian Valdemar Henri John?).

Here is what Nostradamus says of him (Epistle to Henry II):
Proceeding from the 50th degree, one will issue who will renovate all the Christian Church. Then shall be a great peace, union and concord between some of the children of races long wandering and separated by diverse kingdoms; and such peace shall be made that the instigator and promoter of military function by diversity of religions, shall be tied to the bottom of the deep, and united to the kingdom of the furious who shall counterfeit the wise.

As you can see, Nostradamus is in complete accord with St. Hilarion!

He is also mentioned here:

Nostradamus, Quatrain 5.74
Of Trojan blood will be born a Germanic heart
Who will rise to so high a power:
He will drive out the foreign Arabic people
Returning the Church to its pristine preeminence.

Thus, I do believe you may have at least got "the Great Monarch" who shall bring 57 years of peace correct ... the third or fourth great king of Europe ... and his name (Prince Christian) may well be associated with Nostradamus's Chyren/Chiren. However, if Merlin and certain others are correct and their prophecies read in sequence, he is not likely to be the winner of World War 3 but rather of World War 4. Either that, or the third or fourth great king of Europe will be victor over a World War 3 that will not begin for another 30 years and the war the French monarch is victor over is something less than a third world war (a bad war, in other words, but not as bad as a global war).

Not all English translations render 'Annemark.' Hogue translates it as 'Annemarc' in Quatrain 4.27 ... which is the way I have usually seen the word in most quatrains appearing in editions by Cheetham and Leoni. Cheetham, on the other hand, actually translates the word as Denmark in Quatrain 4.27! However, in Quatrains 6.41 and 9.33 Hogue does render the word as 'Annemark' ... as you say. However, Cheetham does the opposite and renders the word as 'Annemarc' in both cases. It is worth knowing, however, that in both of these quatrains in the original French from either of their sources it is spelt d' Annemarc (the d' thus meaning 'of' or 'from' ... thus of or from Annemarc).

I have theorised that Annemarc might approximate the future name of a post-war European Union when it becomes a monarch-led empire.

However, what I think does not hardly matter. You have supplied a good example of another prophecy by St. Hilarion which supports a translation of Dannemarc and d' Annemarc as Denmark.

This is a bit of a tangled web, though, eh? Nostradamus, Merlin, and others could have the period I take to be between the present and 2050 backwards for all we know. The fact that many prophecies going back to St. Methodius (or Pseudo-Methodius) mention multiple "great monarchs" (three, four, or five), in addition to the many that focus on only one, does make it rather confusing to know the nationalities of these figures in any dependable sequence ... unless one places his trust completely in certain prophets and ignores the others! Adding more confusion into the mix, the Seer of Waldviertel, one of the last living of the European or Catholic tradition of prophets, seems to believe the comming great monarch was a boy in school when Hitler was in power, which would make him at least 68 years old today if he was born before April 1940 (Hitler committed suicide in April 1945).

This begs the question: how reliable are the people who made these prophecies, or more importantly perhaps, which of the prophets are reliable and which should be dismissed? Are some of these prophets inspired (in other words, are they merely elaborating or adding to prophecies already in existence long before they were born, including biblical ones) or are they truly visionary? St Hildegard is a good example of the former: her prophecy about the great nation divided by water during time of great war looks amazingly similar to St Hilarion's 1000 years earlier, almost plagerised. Her prophecies on the Antichrist, his birth, and his mother, on the other hand, appear to be entirely original, yet even these could have been inspired by elements of Revelation 12 through 14. Likewise, I could (and still may) dismiss most 'Great Monarch' prophecies as ripoffs inspired by Daniel Chapters 8 and 11 where the he-goat monarch (also called 'the first king') comes out of the west to defeat the Persian-Median ram from the east. Even Nostradamus could be a partial fraud for all we know, patterning his Chyren/Chiren quatrains upon nearly 1500 years worth of 'Great Monarch' prophecies!

Anyway, good work, Mike. I daresay I will print both your article and my reply. Eventually these will appear in the Personalities from Nostradamus Prophecy page ... that is how important I consider the work you have done. If you have more to add to your article and/or a reply to my comments, please feel free to send them along! Also, please find and send along another image for whatever it is that did not show up in this letter after the image of Prince Frederik. If it was the Danish coat-of-arms, let me know .. perhaps I can find that myself.

Thank you for inquiring about my health. Alas, I wish I could say all is well, but the vertigo and narcolepsy continue to plague me. I hope my doctor will soon help me sort things out (rather than make them worse). As a result, I have been slow updating my site and generally have not been answering most of my email, but leaving it in a folder to attend to at a later time. But I found your letter too intruiging not to take some time to reply to it!

Thanks again for sending this along.

Have a Happy Easter and Cheers to you and yours,

Michael McClellan

CHYREN AND THE GREAT MONARCHS: A SERIOUS
DISCUSSION OF EUROPE'S FUTURE IMPERIAL REIGN

INSTALLMENT TWO: May 2, 2008 (8:17 AM, EDT)

Taken from an email by Michael Skøtt Andersen to Michael McClellan

Hi again Mike  

According to My English Danish dictionary  the word RAMPANT could have at least 2 meanings, first furious or agressive, or it could mean standing up, if it is to be understood in the second meaning, then NO then there is no rampant lion on the Danish coat of arms. If rampant is to be understood in the first meaning, then there is actually 3 rampant lions. Pleas also notice that there is a difference between the National coat of arms and the Royal coat of arms. It is obvious that the national coat of arms of both Denmark and England is almost identical with 3 rampant lions (first meaning of course) , with the important differrence that the lions in the Danish coat of arms are crowned, and there is a crown on top. I will send you the pictures of both the national coats of arms and the royal, and throws in the Royal Scottish coat of arms for good meassure.

Regarding the way Nostradamus Writes d'Annemarc or Dannemarc, I have a linguistic explanation, or at least I think you could call it an educated guess. look at the sentence below:
"Introduction a L'Histoire de Dannemarc"
Try to say "De Dannemarc" several times after each other, it sounds as if you are stuttering, so I think that like you in America don't like to say Refrigerator, but mostly referes to it as a Fridge, in the same manner the french don't like to say de Dannemarc and so they pull it together to D'Annemarc. Some might say that I am grasping in thin air... they could be right.

The pressent queen of Denmark Margrethe Alexandrine Þorhildur Ingrid, or as she is known today Queen Margrethe II was born on 16 April 1940 at Amalienborg Palace only 7 days after Nazi-Germany invaded the country.  Ironical the first queen Margretehe of Denmark was forced to start the building  of a deffencive work, known as "Dannevirke" at the southern border to keep out the Germans. It would seem that we in Denmark should never baptise any future princess with that name again, as it apears to provoke the Germans, and because it was a time of unrest and war under the first  queen Margrethe and so also under the second. http://kongehuset.dk/publish.php?dogtag=k_en_fam_oue

It also worries me at bit that in England the present queen is named Elisabeth, and possibly the Future Queen of Danes ( And perhaps Scotts/Australians) is named Mary. That could also spell trouble in the otherwise good Brittish-Danish relations, especially as the future Danish King is more than 50 % French and his son Scottish and thus celtic.

About a Danish/French King as the leader of Europe, notice againg the following from Merlin Ambrosius :
to his own people unexpected, but desired by foreigners ..
It could mean that it takes the Danes by surprice that the European countries in a time of peril choses their king as the European leader, especially so as we are one of the smallest members of the EU, both in size and population. That could also be the reason why they choose him, as the french can't tolerate a English or German leader and vice versa regarding all the big Nations, Italy, Spain and Greece. But the Danish Royal house is related in marriage to all of the above, including the Russian Tsar, allthough that is a bit far fetched under the present and future circumstances.

In an earlier letter I wrote to you about "Virgin Fanny", and now I found her correct name. "Maid Fanny" who predicted the wars with germany in the 18.th century but also the wars that followed. She also predicted that "Denmark will become great " after a most terrible war, in which we Danes cannot rely on help from any countries outside. I have got my hands on the book of her life and predictions and have scanned it into my computer and is making it to a PDF-file. Unfortonately it has'nt been translated to English as far as I know. That could mean that this task would fall upon my shoulders. Aaargh..

By the way there is another strange thing brewing in the horizon. Did you know that the EU is looking for a European President, and have mentioned the Danish prime minister as one of 3 possibly leaders for the job.   

I hope that you will find this letter usefull.

All the Best

Hi again
I just found this link with the CV of the Danish Crown Prince, I think that you will find it verry interresting.  

http://www.kronprinsparret.dk/41000c  

Michael Skøtt Andersen / Copenhagen Denmark

* * * * *

Hi Mike,  

Only after replying to your email did I realise that I had scanned over the part where you write that the father of Prince Frederik is French.  In my opinion that pretty much may seal it for who Chyren/Chiren shall be if he is to be a young man.  How many 40-year-old crown princes with French blood in line for the throne have anywhere near as impressive a curriculum vitae and list of decorations?  Then again, there are a few elderly ones, and prophecies are pretty much split on whether 'the Great Monarch' will be an old man or a young man, although for those agreeing him young, the mean age is 40 years (suggesting there may be little time remaining before Prince Frederik is called upon to fulfill his destiny, as we are all called upon to fulfill ours, if he is indeed the one).

I had a feeling that the meaning of 'rampant,' in this case, might be 'furious,' which makes the following Nostradamus excerpt from Epistle to Henry II all the more relevent regarding the identity of the second emperor of the future EU configuration:  

... The differences between the three brothers shall be such, though united and agreed, that the three and four parts of Europe will tremble.

By the lesser in years shall the Christian monarchy be upheld and augmented; sects shall rise and presently be put down again; the Arabians shall be put back; kingdoms shall be united and new laws made. Concerning the other children, the first [eldest] shall possess the furious crowned Lions, holding their paws upon the escutcheons [shields]. The second, well attended by the Latins, will go so deep among the Lions, that a second trembling and furious descent will be made, to get upon the Pyrenees Mountains. The ancient monarchy shall not be transferred, and the third inundation of human blood shall happen; also for a good while Mars shall not be in Lent.

The 'Christian monarchy' or empire has already been established by Chyren/Chiren by the time of this opening of what happens to be a very long prophetic narrative.  Thus it is left to another, a successor, 'to be upheld and augmented.'  For reasons we do not know, Nostradamus does not begin this narrative discussing World War III nor the rise of the first 'king of Europe' ('the Great Monarch' or Chyren/Chiren) and his reign and death, a theme of huge importance in the quatrains themselves, but instead begins it with post-war Europe under three royal brothers, the youngest one of whom is Chyren's successor. However, later in this narrative, and in passing and in retrospect, he does acknowledge that there has been a 'First Holocaust' that occurred prior to the opening passage.  That is likely a reference to World War III (or something almost as bad).

I bring this topic up again regarding what appears to be a British successor to Chyren/Chiren because of the opportunity you have presented here for comparing coats-of arm and because you have actually used the word 'furious' as has Nostradamus in the passage above concerning the lions.

First of all, clearly, as far as a 'rampant lion' is concerned, there is no question that the Danish and Danish Royal coat-of-arms and the English, British, and Scot coats-of-arm are all qualified to make claim of this symbol.  But I have to add that so is the Belgian coat-of-arms which also bears a furious crowned lion on its shield!  They would all appear to be uniquely qualified. However, since who appears to be the fourth leader of the empire comes from the 'northern parts' and 'above the 50th degree of latitude' , we can be fairly certain that he will be Danish and most likely Prince Christian.  Belgium technically lies above the 48th degree of latitude.

However, as immediate successor to Chyren/Chiren, the youngest of three royal brothers, British Prince Edward would appear to have this role already pinned to his vest.  That is because none of the rampant crowned lions in the Danish or Belgian coat-of-arms have their 'paws upon the escutcheons.'  Nevertheless, it is interesting to note that there are two lions on the Belgian coat-of-arms with their paws on the shield, one standing on the sinistre side the other on the dextre.  On the shield is a furious and rampant lion. However, the two lions with their paws on the escutcheon (shield) are not rampant, but guardant nor do they look particularly furious either.

We see this phenomenon only 1) on the sinistre side of the British coat-of-arms with one furious crowned lion clearly clutching the quarter of the three lions on the escutcheon and again 2) on the dextre side of the Scottish coat-of-arms with one furious crowned lion clutching a quarter of a single rampant lion on the escutcheon.  Still, what is to be considered furious can be entirely subjective where lions are concerned.

Of course, there is no real argument being made here since the identity of the second king of Europe is not at issue anyway, only the first and, in my opinion, the fourth. I say fourth because Nostradamus inserts what appears to be a wartime emperor into his prophecy after the death of Ogmios (or youngest of three royal brothers), and clearly says he will come from Belgium in several quatrains and even calls him 'the Belgian prince' and 'Philip' in several others.  Thus, he must be the third king of Europe:

Nostradamus, Quatrain 5.13
Through great furor the Roman Belgian King
Will wish to vex the barbarian army:
In a gnashing fury he will chase the Libyan people
From Pannonia [Hungary-Yugoslavia] as far as the pillars of Hercules [the Strait of Gibralter].

The current Crown Prince of Belgium is named Philippe, Duke of Brabant. He is 47, soon to be 48. He too has an illustrious and impressive military record as does Prince Frederik and now holds the rank of Major-General in the Armed Forces. If it is he Nostradamus is referring to in his quatrains, his fate is a mysterious one for he seems to vanish completely during the height of World War 4, possibly dying in battle during the wholesale invasion of Europe by 'those of the Attila and Xerxes'. It is not until the end of the war that we are introduced to the 'rampant lion' from the 'northern parts' who seems to coorespond best with Nostradamus' leader 'proceeding from the 50th degree, one issued who will renovate all the Christian Church.'

Thus, it is not because there is a 'rampant lion' on his coat-of-arms that makes Prince Frederik such an ideal candidate for being the first king of Europe, but his illustrious military career, his probable position as head of the armed forces of Denmark, his youth at age 40 and good looks (which figure prominently in many of the youthful 'great Monarch' prophecies), and especially his father being French, carrying the royal blood of France.  However, the 'rampant lion' does seem to promise that his son, Prince Christian, shall quite possibly carry the Danish royal lineage as heads-of-Europe well into the 22nd Century.

An amusing aside however:  if I am wrong and the two guardant crowned lions with their paws on the Belgian escutcheon can also be considered furious and thus 'rampant' (this would be entirely subjective in my opinion), then it may not be the British royal family that Nostradamus is referring to at the onset of the Epistle to Henry II narrative prophecy.  HRH Prince Philippe's wife, Princess Mathilde, is now pregnant with her fourth child who is expected to be born on 15 April 2008.  Thus far she has two sons and a daughter: Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel, and Prince Emmanuel.  Also in a quatrain, Nostradamus mentions three beautiful royal children destined for greatness born near France.

Nostradamus, Quatrain 8.97
The all powerful will change at the end of the VAR (Var river in France or rare English use of word War?),
Near the bank three beautiful infants are born.
Ruin to the people by competent age
In the realm countries and people greatly changed and seen to expand.

If the fourth child is a male, then this would match the prophecy of Nostradamus' three royal sons and a daughter, potentially upsetting, but not completely nullifying, my theory that the youngest born of three royal brothers will be Prince Edward, Count of Wessex. For the three beautiful brothers of the quatrain need not be the same as the three royal brothers discussed at great length in the Epistle to Henry II.  However, if the child is a girl, then there will be no match, leaving only the Windsors to fulfill the prophecy of the second king of Europe and his siblings.

In any event, I wonder sometimes if any of this really matters.. virtiually all the crowned heads of Europe are related anyway! .. and nearly all have French, British, Belgian, German, Danish, etc blood in their veins somewhere (which is to say you are bound to find a Saxe, a Coburg, and Gotha in any royal family tree these days as well as ties to various French royal ancestry).

Thanks again for your information, Mike.  I still must agree with you that your 'rampant lion' from 'the northern parts' is bound to presage at least one, if not two, members of the Danish royal family, whatever changes in leadership, if two, may transpire in between their reigns, or, if only one, whatever happens after Frederik's or Christian's reign.

Best wishes and Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike  

I just read that the Russian airforce have shot down a Georgian UAV.

Here's a link to the video-footage.

http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=80724&videoChannel=1

And regarding the Danish Crownprince, I found out that he is directly related to Maria Stuart of Scotland and Queen Victoria trough his Swedish Grandmother. By the way, the fourth child of the Belgian crownprince is a girl, so now he must be out the picture, unless something strange happens.

Hoping that you are making progress healthwise..

Michael Skøtt Andersen / Copenhagen Denmark

Quatrain 6.70 A chief of the world the great Chyren shall be, After PLUS OULTRE, loved, feared, and dreaded: His fame and praise surpass the heavens, And with the sole title of victor is most contented. Daniel 8:5, 8:21 --- An he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth ... and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes...and the rough goat is the king of Grecia:‡ and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

Plus outré Carol Quint was the motto of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.

"Grecia" is the prophetic name for the European Union or a future European empire. It may also be a dependency of the European empire, i.e., the Balkans.

This king is named by the prophet variously as Chyren, Chiren, Chyren Selin, and Selin monarque. Most commentators believe Chyren to be an anagram of Henryc: the Old French spelling of Henry.

The name Henry would have held much symbolic significance to Nostradamus: Henry I was the grandson of Hugh Capet, the founder of the extensive Capetian dynasty and the French monarchy itself (Capet appears symbolically throughout Les Propheties as well). Henry II, of course, was the husband of Nostradamus' most powerful of patrons: Catherine de' Medicis. It was he who the seer predicted would die in a jousting tournament in 1599, his eye and brain pierced by a shattered lance. It remains to be seen whether Chyren does presage a fifth French king named Henry, the long awaited Henry V or Henry Cinq, or is simply a metaphorical name for a French leader of great fame.

I should point out that the modern French spelling of Chyren should be "Chiren" (a "y" would become an "i" in this case), and Nostradamus also spells it that way—every letter capitalised—in Quatrain 2.79. It is my belief that this is the spelling the prophet actually intended for our generation to understand, which is the reason why he spotlighted it in The Centuries in such a conspicuous fashion. Therefore, it is the form I use throughout both my website and my book, Nostradamus and the Final Age.

I believe it is entirely possible that, in addition to the medieval variation Henric, Chiren is also an anagram or approximation of an actual surname, a Nostradamian pun.

On May 7, 1995, the Mayor of Paris, Jacques Chirac, was elected to succeed Francois Mitterand as President of France. The conservative Chirac enjoyed a sweeping victory over the socialite candidate Lionel Jospin. He repeated his landslide victory again, this time over extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, on May 5, 2002. Today he is the most influential and charismatic leader in the European Union. It is quite likely that Chiren is an anagram or approximation of Chirac. As long ago as the spring of 1992 I was predicting in early drafts of my book, Nostradamus and the Final Age, Jacques Chirac's victories in France's 1995 and 2002 presidential elections purely on the basis of the similarity between "Chiren" and "Chirac."

According to Nostradamus, Chiren will restore the French monarchy a short time before he is made emperor of Europe. According to Daniel "the great horn" will be "the first king" of the West and "will wax mighty."

Will the French office of president eventually give way to a full-blown monarchy? Only time will tell. Perhaps to Nostradamus and the Bible prophet Daniel, a president who rules all or the better part of 17 years (1995 - 2012) might seem like a "king." Then again, by May 2007, the end of Chirac’s second term, international developments (building shadows of a third world war in Europe) may well lead to a popular movement in France to restore the monarchy and Mr. Chirac could be crowned as king by public acclaim.

Whichever is the case, there can be no misunderstanding when Nostradamus says that Chiren shall become an "emperor." However, if Nostradamus is correct, it will take a third world war and Chirac's victory over an Iranian adversary to cause the French leader to be made "emperor" by almost unanimous acclaim (some nations like Switzerland will not agree with the idea).

What do we know of President Jacques Chirac? Does he exhibit the sort of qualities one might expect to find in a future Charlemagne? Does anything about his personal profile match that of Nostradamus, Herculean figure, Chiren Selin?

FROM THE THRONE OF CHIREN MOON

PRESIDENT Jacques Chirac has threatened to NUKE rogue states if they attack France. "Nuclear deterrence is not aimed at dissuading fanatic terrorists. Leaders of any state that uses terrorist means against us, as well as any that may be envisaging -- in one way or another -- using weapons of mass destruction, must understand that they would be exposing themselves to a firm and appropriate response on our behalf. That response could be conventional, it could also be of another nature. In numerous countries, radical ideas are spreading, advocating a confrontation of civilizations. Odious attacks could escalate to other yet more serious forms involving states. We have configured our nuclear arsenal to be able to respond flexibly and reactively to any threat. Faced with a regional power, our choice is not between doing nothing and annihilating it. The flexibility and reactiveness of our strategic forces allow us to respond directly on the centers of power. There should be no doubt about our will and capacity to use nuclear arms."

President Chirac on the recent Hamas victory: “Hamas is a terrorist organization that cannot be an interlocutor of the international community so long as it does not renounce violence and does not recognize Israel’s right to exist. This is the unambiguous position of the EU and it will not change.”

"Today I call on the Iranian authorities to choose the path of cooperation and confidence by carefully examining this offer and resuming their commitment to suspend activities related to the production of fissile materials. There is room for dialogue and negotiation. We call on Iran's spirit of responsibility to restore cooperation and confidence, failing which the Security Council will have no other choice but to take up the issue. Everyone recognizes that Iran, or North Korea, for example, have a right to peacefully use nuclear energy. But it is imperative for the international community to ensure that the commitments reached for everyone's security are respected. It is a grave mistake that Iran doesn't take the hand it is offered. Time is quickly running out."

"Unfortunately, a group of bullies allows itself to deprive nations of their legal and natural rights. The Iranian nation is not frightened by the powers and their noise. If they cause any disturbance, they will ultimately regret it. Even if they destroy our scientists, their successors would continue the job. It would not be easy for them to solve the nuclear case by imposing sanctions or anything like that. I tell those superpowers that, with strength and prudence, Iran will pave the way to achieving peaceful nuclear energy. In the near future, nuclear energy will be completely carried out by the Iranian nation. They falsely say that they oppose nuclear weapons. They want to have nuclear monopoly to sell it drop by drop at an expensive price and use it as an instrument for domination over nations."

Well, it is clear Mr Chirac does exhibit "the right stuff" in his public statements, but what of the physical and other requirements?

THE RIDDLE OF CHIREN SELIN

WHO am I?

He who is called "the Great Monarch," "Help of God," "Hercules," and "Chiren the King."

Jack (Jacques) literally means "Help of God." The media has also labeled
Chirac as a "Hercules" among European politicians.

He who shall be principal enemy of the black-bearded king of Persia. He who
shall free everyone captured by the lunar banner of Islam. (Q2.79).

This mutual antagonism appears to have already begun, in words at least.

He who shall be hand-picked by God to destroy the new Ottoman Empire and defeat
the Emperor of the North, the King of Russia, who is called Mystic Anti-Christ.
Capuchin Friar (1776)

He who shall be Chief of the World, after "Plus oultre," loved, feared and dreaded
and greater than Charlemagne. (Q6.70).

The mighty king of the west who shall touch not the ground, the great horn of the he-goat
who with fury shall charge, and destroy the two horns of the conquering ram.
He who shall be the first king of renown of mankind's final empire. (Daniel).

A strong nuclear force and efficient air capability proven during the Nato-Balkans conflicts ...

The first of twelve kings who shall rule the earth, one after the other, and so it shall be that
when he reigns and grows mighty, the end of him shall soon follow ... (Esdras 2:11).

He who shall bring peace to Italy at the close of the great war, kingdoms united by the
Christian King of the World. When he dies, he shall be buried in Blois, France after
having chased the barbarians from the sea. (Q4.77).

One would expect a French leader to be buried in France.

And from whence shall I come?

Rabanus Maurus --

"Our principal doctors agree in announcing to us that towards the
end of time one of the descendants of the kings of France shall
reign over all the Roman Empire; and that he shall be the
greatest of the Empire; and that he shall be the greatest
of the French monarchs, and the last of his race."

France it shall be.

And what is my appearance?

David Poreaus (d. 1622) --

"The Great Monarch will be of French descent, large forehead, large
dark eyes, light brown wavy hair and an eagle nose. He will crush
the enemies of the Pope and will conquer the East."

A good description of President Chirac.

And what is my age?

The Seer of Waldviertel --

"This man has still heard Hitler speaking when he was a school boy."

A good assessment of President Chirac's age.

GRAND PROPHECY ON THE ROAD TO FULFILLMENT

We can now see that the great Chiren, Jacques Chirac, and the black-bearded Persian conqueror, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, are gradually becoming enemies. However, the time of their war is not yet at hand. Even so, we are nearing the appointed time ... and will watch with open eyes when the King of Persia declares war on the European Union as prophesied by both Daniel and Nostradamus.

Already the argument has begun between France and Iran, the European Union and Iran, the he-goat and the ram, East and West, Christendom and Islam, Chirac and Ahmadinejad, Chiren and Perse ... the great crisis of 2006 that can only end in one way: with the prophesied beginning of the biblical "end times" as outlined in Daniel 8 through 12 and in the Book of Revelation ... the painful dawn of the final age of human history!

The Warnings of Nostradamus

As the United States inches closer to launching a massive war effort against Iran, government officials and military planners have been given yet another reason to begin the air strikes soon: the election of Iranian hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad has vowed to return Iran to the days of the 1979 Revolution and create a super Islamic nuclear state ready to war with Israel, the United States, and their allies throughout the Middle East and Europe. Already, he is butting heads with the entire Western world by declaring that Iran is now a nuclear state ready to defend itself against any nation and threatening the destruction of Israel and the United States. Meantime, Iran's nuclear programme continues to move forward with utmost rapid speed, unchecked by international inspections.

It would appear that this new black-bearded tyrant is destined to fulfill Nostradamus' prophecies concerning "The chief of Persia": a great warmongering Iranian leader who will lead Iran and its Islamic allies, nation states and terrorist groups alike, against all the nations of The West.

Quatrain 2.79 The frizzled, black beard through skill Subjugates a people cruel & proud: The great CHIRAC will take from afar All those captured by the banner of the Lunar crescent.

This quatrain describes a new, dreadful leader of the Iranians (gent cruelle & fiere). He will have a frizzled, black beard. The second half of this stanza anticipates his eventual defeat by a French leader named Chiren, a name, as I have already discussed, that I believe to be an anagram or approximation of Chirac—President Jacques Chirac of France. The presidency of the European Union is currently under rotation, and will be next led by France between June and December 2008. At that time, or perhaps a bit later, Chirac may become the permanent leader of the EU or an European empire that will emerge from the ashes of World War III. As its leader, Chirac will then fulfill the prophecies of Daniel and Nostradamus concerning a great king of the West who will do battle with Persia and Media, bringing about their utter defeat.

What shall be a sign that their war is underway?

One clue lies in the other name of Chiren: "Selin," which is translated
as "Selene": Selena, goddess of the moon.

Quatrain 6.58

Between the two distant monarchs,
When the Sun and Moon have lost their light:
Great hatred between two indignant ones,
That those of the Islands and Sienna
should have liberty restored.

Quatrain 1.84

The moon obscured in great gloom,
Her brother becomes the colour of blood:
The great one long hidden under shadows,
Shall wield his iron in the bloody rain.

The great World War III will come after terrible natural catastrophes and after the current war has evolved into something so horrid that, together, the effects of War and Nature will cause the moon and sun to become obscured by dust. As the Book of Revelation predicts more accurately, when "the sun becomes black as sackcloth of hair and the moon the colour of blood."

When the moon becomes the colour of blood ... not merely during a lunar eclipse, but all the time.

This is linked with the opening of the sixth seal: the universal earthquake that causes men to flee in dread from the sight of the heavens rolling up before the face of God's wrath and to hide in caves deep within the earth.

This is yet another proof that the worst of World War III will take place when Planet X, Nibiru, Marduk, Wormwood, Sedna, Xena -- call it what you like -- passes near our earth.

How much time do we have? Here may be the answer ...

The Great War: 2006 - 2010?

Abbot Werdin d'Otrante (13th cent.) --

"The nations will be in wars for four years and a great part of the world will be destroyed.
All the sects will vanish. The capital of the world will fall. The Pope will go over the sea
carrying the sign of redemption on his forehead, and after the victory of the Pope and
the Great Monarch peace will reign on earth."

And what of America?

I still believe that before Iran and its ally Russia declare war against the European Union, the United States will launch air strikes against suspected Iranian nuclear targets. America may likely have the support of the EU and may even be accompanied by some Nato nations in this endeavour. However, this action will deteriorate into an even larger quagmire than Iraq currently is, engulfing not only Iraq, but the entire Persian Gulf, on land and sea, and the oil fields of Saudi Arabia.

This war will last until 2008 or 2009 before America is finally overwhelmed by natural catastrophes at home and its involvement in other foreign conflicts, and then defeated in Iraq after aiding Israel in the fiery destruction of Damascus and other Syrian cities, and forced to withdraw from Iraq and Saudi Arabia by Iranian and Russian forces.

Iraq and Iran shall then become one nation under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Israel and all the Arab nations that dared side with her and the US shall he smite in anger. For this war the EU will send forces to defend Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, and Israel, but shall be overwhelmed by greater Iran and its allies, including Russia, which will block and damage their navies in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Then follows the declaration of war by Ahmadinejad, dictator of greater Persia, against the European Union for supporting America and Israel. And in this most horrible conflict of conflicts, Iran shall have the aid of numerous Muslim allies in North Africa, Transcaucasia, South and Central Asia, and Indonesia, as well as Russia, who will have her own reasons to war with the European Union.

Yet, when all of Europe asks "where is America?," America will make one final, heroic stand. Under a female president, the USA will launch air strikes and engage ground troops with Russian forces in Hungary, Ukraine, and the former Yugoslavia, then launch limited nuclear strikes against Russian forces in Germany and Scandinavia, and against Islamic forces in the south of Europe, and the EU-3 shall drive away the Russians and their tanks with a deadly yellow dust. Then both America and Russia shall be largely destroyed in a total nuclear exchange as Iran's war in Europe continues on ...

However, if Israel launches air strikes against Iran instead of the USA, everything happening above shall be accelerated, and the dreadful confrontation between East and West will start all the sooner.

This destruction of "the two" (Russia and the USA) explains why the European Union prevails. The two greatest powers in the world will be forced to go to war, yet, according to Nostradamus, "the victor will be born on French soil."

The Continued Enigma of Selin

The enigma of Selin does not simply end with the moon in perpetual eclipse. It's use seems related to other events that will occur during World War III and also during the period of armistice that shall follow the war during the reign of Chiren. The significance of the moon or lunar crescent is manifold:

· As a device, emblem, standard, coat-of-arms, etc. (Henry II adopted the moon as his device. In heraldry, the crescent moon is the symbol for the second son.)

· As the symbol of Islam. The crescent moon also appears on the flags of a number of Moslem nations, including Turkey, Algeria, and Pakistan. Chiren may originally befriend the Islamic world (as Chirac has done in the recent past). But in the end, according to Nostradamus, he will be forced to defeat the armies of Mohammad.

· As a surname. (Some New Age commentators have attempted to link '"selin" with the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. However, how does this link up with Chiren who is portrayed by the prophet as a native of France? Also, despite the linkage of '"selin"" with "moon," the closest anyone might be able to come to making either "chiren" or "chyren" function as a word meaning "sun" is the Greek word chrysos which means "gold"—a rather lukewarm approximation at best.)

· As a nickname. For example, French President Jacques Chirac was nicknamed "Hiro-Chirac" (a play on the name of the late Japanese emperor Hirohito and the city of Hiroshima—the first city in history to be destroyed by a nuclear weapon) by opponents of his 1995-96 nuclear tests in the Pacific Islands. Caricatures of Chirac superimposed over the symbol of the atom or a mushroom cloud appeared on protest posters. Perhaps one day Chiren will befriend the Islamic nations.

· Already discussed above: As a contemporaneous event, especially one of monumental significance. According to Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky (1950), Romulus, the first king and founder of Rome, was identified with the planet Mars after a close encounter between Earth and the red planet caused worldwide destruction. According to Nostradamus, Chiren's star will rise when the moon becomes the color of blood.

· As a symbol associated with the economy of Chiren's government. The design for the currency of the European Union, the "euro," is a large, capital "C" with two horizontal bars running through it. The "C" resembles a crescent moon.

· Finally, as Holy Roman Emperor and chief ally of the coming "Pope from ancient France," Chiren may encourage the worship of the late Princess Diana as a saint. Diana, after all, did die in Paris ... the same city where Marie Antoinette was executed 203 years and 10 months (7 x 29 years) earlier.

There are several quatrains written by Nostradamus that indicate the worship of Diana will become a major religion existing side by side or within the framework of a new Christianity. In the ancient world, Diana was worshipped as the goddess of the moon (in Greek her name was Selene or Artemis). In the new millennium, those who worship the saint, angel, or goddess the world once knew as Diana, Princess of Wales, will also associate her with the moon.

Apollo and Diana Reunited: The Great Church Age and The Temple of Diana

The Church of Diana already exists, but its members are few ... for the time being. However, the events to come will change all of that dramatically. The French seer called this new religion "the Temple of Artemis" (Artemis was the Greek version of the goddess Diana) and "the Temple of the Vestals."

After the Third World War has been waged, a great Christian monarch from France shall reign as an emperor over many countries. In most prophecy he is simply called "the Great Monarch," but Nostradamus names him "Chyren" and "Chiren" in his quatrains.

Often Nostradamus adds the name "selin" after Chyren (Chyren selin) and sometimes even uses it alone. It is derived from Selena (Selene), another Roman goddess associated with the moon.

Henry II of Valois, the French king whose agonising death from wounds to the eye and brain from a jousting accident was prophesied by Nostradamus, used the crescent moon as his device in honour of his mistress, Diane de Poitiers. Diane de Poitiers, because of her first name, was fixated with the ancient goddess of the moon, Diana, and the pagan rituals associated with the, what was by that time, dead religion.

Not only did Henry II honour his "moon mistress" with his moon emblem, but he also built small temples, shrines, gardens, and gazebos which he dedicated to Diane (Diana).

The future emperor Chiren will also use the moon as his device. Whether this is Chirac or a future Henry, he is a spiritual Henry, whereas Henry II was a carnal Henry. During the spiritual Henry's reign, Pope John Paul II's dream of the Anglican Communion marrying with the Catholic Church shall be realised. But apparently that is not all that will be allowed. Nostradamus makes it clear that the lunar influence will be strong enough to identify it with the emperor's name.

SELIN monarque, Chyren Selin, the Christian king of the world, will allow the worship of the new moon goddess, Princess Diana, to flourish during his reign. Christianity and Diana worship will coexist side by side as they did during the first century AD before the Church fathers forebade certain Christian sects from also worshipping the moon goddess. The need for a divine feminine was instead replaced with the beatification of the Virgin Mary.

In our time, the need for a divine feminine has been fulfilled by the sacrifice of Princess Diana.

In the Christian church people shall say "Amen" and worship the sun ("Amen" is derived from Aman Ra, the Egyptian sun god, later replaced by Aten by Pharoah Akhnaten). On the next street, it will be the moon who shall shine in all her glory.

Thus, Sun and Moon will guide the world back to sanity and peace. There will be no land not illuminated by one or the other.

The Death and Funeral of Emperor Chiren

Quatrain 8.5

There will appear a luminous, ornate temple,
The lamp and candle at Borne [E. Netherlands] and Breteuil
[N. France],
For the canton of Lucerne [NW Switzerland] will turn
When one will see the great cock in his shroud.

Quatrain 6.71

When they will come to give last rites to the great king
Before he has completely rendered up his soul,
He who is last (youngest) will come to lament him,
Through Lions, of eagles, the cross, the crown sold.

Daniel 11:2-4 --

And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia: and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided towards the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

Daniel 8:8 --

Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong the great horn was broken; and for it came four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

Daniel 8:21-22 --

And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

Christianity flourishes in the Netherlands and France. In one of Nostradamus ' more dazzling displays of visual imagery, Chiren's Holy Empire reaches its zenith. At the time of the emperor's lavish funeral, however, northwestern Switzerland will seek to withdraw from the empire. The cock was a nineteenth-century symbol for France.

I have determined, partly through my base 7 system of numerology, that the death of Chiren will occur in May 2016. Also, since so much significance has been accorded the year 2012 by various prophets old and new, this may be the actual year the French "president" of Europe is elevated to a Carolmingian style emperor.

According to Daniel, the future empire ("he goat") will "wax very great" (become very powerful and expansive). Likewise, as Nostradamus tells us, when the empire has reached its greatest hour, the emperor ("the great horn") will die.

In Quatrain 6.71, when last rites are administered to the dying emperor, a secret arrangement will be made between him and Great Britain ("the Lions"); a new merger between what remains of the United States, Canada, and Mexico (all symbolized by the American eagle); and the Pope ("the cross") concerning the future disposition of the Holy Empire.

The "crown sold" is the imperial crown. But who is the "last" (or "he who is youngest") who will come to visit the king on his deathbed?

None other than his appointed successor! A leader whom Nostradamus calls Ogmios.

In recent months, the French media has written the obituary of Chirac's administration, erroneously believing that he will not seek a third term. That myth was smashed in mid-November 2006 when both President Chirac and his wife, Bernadette, revealed that he now feels energised and may seek a third term, especially because of the dangerous world events now occurring and the threat they could pose to both France and the European Union. The popular candidate, Segolene Royal, is the favourite to win if Chirac does not run.

But what if Ms Royal should win the election? Would that end all chances of Mr Chirac fulfilling the figure of Chiren selin in Nostradamus prophecy? Not necessarily. Royal and Chirac will face many hurdles, whoever is president, but Nostradamus suggests that Royal will not survive her ordeals whilst Chirac will return to lead, either after the Royal administration fails or, if Chirac is the one serving a third term, a temporary absence:

SEGOLENE ROYAL OR JACQUES CHIRAC: WILL IT MATTER?

November 19, 2006 (9:01 PM EST): As presidential elections in France grow near in May 2007, soon we shall test the theory that Jacques Chirac is indeed the "great Monarch" that roughly 80% of European and Catholic prophecies indicate will be French, and whether he is the one named "Chiren" in anagram by Nostradamus in many of his quatrains. Or will we?

On Friday, Segolene Royal won the overwhelming backing of France's Socialists in her bid to become France's first female president, suggesting the party is now ready to put aside internal divisions in its bid to recapture power. Nevertheless, as Ms Royal takes the lead as the candidate to face off with Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007, it has also been reported that Jacques Chirac will likely run yet again for a third term:

Chirac set to break up 'Sego-Sarko' fight with plan to stand a third time

By Kim Willsher in Paris, Sunday Telegraph
Last Updated: 1:16am GMT 19/11/2006

President Jacques Chirac is in "great shape" and ready to run for a third term to prevent his would-be successor, Nicolas Sarkozy, from replacing him at the Elysée Palace. Mr Chirac, 73, will decide within weeks whether to stand, but friends and family say that even after 12 years and despite his age and health, he is keen to stay on.

The revelation is a further sign of the difficulty the Right faces in agreeing a figure to contest the May election, just as the Socialist party has overwhelmingly backed Ségolène Royal as its candidate. The 53-year-old mother of four saw off her two Left-of-centre rivals in a primary last Thursday and immediately promised: "Politics must change."

Mr Chirac's ruling UMP party is riven with animosity, with Mr Sarkozy, the front-runner for the leadership, who is interior minister, at odds with Dominique de Villepin, the prime minister and protégé of the president ...

 

Chirac III: This Time He's Really Old

Thu, 16 Nov 2006 00:02:00

Gareth Cartman
Paris Link

According to his wife Bernadette, Jacques Chirac is "fighting fit" and ready to run for a third term. Perhaps. Now 73, Chirac has been in politics since the days of General de Gaulle.

In a seemingly well-orchestrated interview, Bernadette Chirac let slip that her husband has not ruled out running for a third term at the Elysée. She told the Nouvel Observateur magazine that too many people think they are living in the aftermath, and it was too early to draw a line under the Chirac reign.

She insisted her husband is "fighting fit" two weeks ahead of his 74th birthday. Despite polls showing opinion is largely against his standing for a third time, Bernadette Chirac claimed that he is still enormously popular in the countryside. Indeed, Chirac's grassroots support has almost always been rural. He regularly refers to his time as agriculture minister as "the time of his life", and is visibly cheered by his regular visits to agricultural salons.

Next year's Presidential elections look, at the moment, to be a head-to-head battle between Ségolène Royal and Nicolas Sarkozy, but French Presidential campaigns are known for sudden turn-arounds, surprises, and... Jacques Chirac's comebacks. Before each of his victories in 1995 and 2002, Chirac was thought to be a political dinosaur - finished and set for retirement.

Some critics have accused Chirac of leading an "anyone but Sarkozy" campaign, putting his favourite ministers in the spotlight to test public opinion. Dominique de Villepin has been a notable failure, while Michèle Alliot-Marie has failed to capture the imagination. If Chirac does run, it may not necessarily be to win the election itself, but to stop Nicolas Sarkozy from becoming President.

Accusations that he would back Ségolène Royal if she were to face Sarkozy in the second round of voting in April are perhaps fanciful, yet Bernadette Chirac has already indicated her admiration for Royal: "She has a look, she is very photogenic. Being a woman may not be enough to win, but it helps - it plays on the subconscious".

The media machine has already started; Jacques Chirac is up to something. We just have to wait and see exactly what he is up to.

Chirac May Seek Third Term, Sarkozy Adviser Says

By Fabienne Lissak and Francois de Beaupuy

Nov. 15, 2006 (Bloomberg) -- French President Jacques Chirac may seek a third term, putting him on a collision course with Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, the leading candidate of the governing party, a Sarkozy adviser says. ``He'd like to run,'' Patrick Devedjian, a former Chirac cabinet minister, said in an interview in Paris today. ``Jacques Chirac can hope to be in position if his popularity rebounds.''

A challenge may hurt Sarkozy's chances both in the first round of elections and, if he survives, in the runoff. Their relationship has been strained since 1995 when Sarkozy backed Chirac rival Edouard Balladur for the presidency. Sarkozy and Socialist Segolene Royal are now effectively tied in polls. ``Were Chirac to run, Sarkozy would risk being leapfrogged by Royal in the first round, which would handicap him for the runoff,'' said Mathieu Doiret, an analyst at polling firm CSA. ``It would also be harder to unite in the second round.''

Chirac's wife, Bernadette, gave an interview to Le Nouvel Observateur magazine, saying the 73-year-old incumbent may seek re-election. ``He cares about France,'' according to an account of the interview posted today on the magazine's Web site. Chirac is ``very popular'' and has recovered from a hematoma that put him in the hospital for a week in September 2005, she said. ``You see how fit he is,'' said Bernadette, who noted Francois Mitterrand was 72 when he ran for re-election. ``My husband is not the least bit senile.''

What is more, if he chooses not to run, and Ms. Royal (or Sarkozy) wins, Chirac automatically becomes President of the Conseil Constitutionnel (Constitutional Council of France) from where he can help direct the new government, a sort of Über-president president.

However, one report quotes Chirac as saying he does not expect to do this for another five years (which is yet another way of saying he is seriously planning on running for President in May 2007).

I suspect the very high-profile visit of Chirac in China recently was intended to demonstrate that he, and he alone, remains France's best foreign policy leader. Given that earlier this year he threatened to use part of the French nuclear arsenal against Iran if they should use even one such weapon, and considering Iran's continued threats against Europe for supporting Israel, this may be reason enough for Chirac to remain medium-term monarch of France and one of the EU's strongest voices.

He is expected to announce his decision to run -- or not to run -- in March 2007.

However, as I have mentioned before, there is at least a hint or suggestion in the prophecies of Nostradamus that Chirac will lose his popularity among urban voters and that his power will temporarily wane. The first condition has already been met. There are also a number of Nostradamus prophecies that show it is possible for a brief Segolene Royal presidency that is rendered useless during a third World War, with Chirac on the sidelines later being asked to return to the office of president (or monarch of France) just before the end of the war.

Segolene Royal may be the mysterious "lady" who appears in some of Nostradamus' verses that are sometimes identified as Marianne, the female symbol of the French Revolution who eventually became a symbol of the Republic. France often runs beauty contests to confer the honour of "Marianne" on to the winning candidate. In 2000 it was model Laetitia Casta who later went on to become an actress in film and video.

But it is possible that this lady, this modern-day "Marianne," may actually be a future French president. And perhaps it shall be Segolene Royal.

We shall examine some parallel prophecies by Nostradamus that may or may not apply to the years immediately ahead should Chirac be temporarily sidelined whilst Ms Royal reigns as president. Again, there are obscure indications that the presidency itself may either be severely weakened or temporarily abolished by Muslim adversaries during a third World War, even if Mr Chirac is elected.

Quatrain 3.28 De terre foible & pauvre parentele, Par bout & paix parviendra dans l'Empire: Long temps regner une jeune femelle, Qu'oncques en regne n'en survint un si pire. Of feeble land and poor parentage, Through extremity she will obtain peace in the Empire (EU): Long time shall reign a young woman, Never in the kingdom has there arrived one so bad.	Quatrain 3.100 Entre Gaulois le dernier honoré, D'homme ennemy sera victorieux, Force & terroir en moment exploré, D'vn coup de trait quand mourra l'enuieux. Among the French the least honoured one, Against his enemy will be victorious: Force and lands through action will be explored, When suddenly from a shot the envious one dies.

Segolene Royal was born in 1953, not in France, but in the west African nation of Senegal, then a poor French colony until its independence in 1960. Today 95% of its population is Muslim.

The following may explain Nostradamus' claim of "poor parentage": In LIBERTÉ, ÉGALITÉ, FÉMINITÉ, John Thornhill writes:

"Her own tumultuous -- and at times tragic -- childhood certainly appears to have marked Royal for life, turning her into the driven and resolute woman she has become today ... (after leaving Senegal) Marie-Ségolène grew up in France, in a village in Lorraine with her two older sisters and five brothers. They lived in an austerely Catholic environment, where duty rather than pleasure was the order of the day. Her father had fixed ideas about his children: the boys must do their duty and serve their country; the girls must support their husbands while they did their duty and served their country. “My father always made my sisters and me feel that we were inferior beings,” Royal said in an interview ... Defying her father’s wishes, she won a place at the prestigious Sciences Po university in Paris, where her provincial manners marked her out from the bohemian left-bank crowd. When her parents’ marriage broke up, Ségolène, then aged 19, helped launch a legal suit against her father for maintenance. It took almost 10 years before the courts ruled in her mother’s favor. Her father died of lung cancer in 1982 aged 62."

Our prophet seems to believe this new "Marianne" will use extreme and painful measures to impose peace upon an increasingly restive nation, plagued by periodic rioting by disaffected Parisian youths and a growing Muslim population angry with French laws that interfere with the practise of their religion and under the sway of a popular firebrand mullah in the Lauragues (now Castelnaudary in Aude, southwestern France). Her reign, according to the French seer, will come to a bad end.

Meanwhile, Jacques Chirac has certainly become, or is in danger of becoming, "least honoured" of all of France's presidents to date. Then again, much of the disdain seems to be coming from the same disaffected and angry populace discussed above, many of them living in and around metro Paris and in the southern provinces of France. Despite his flagging popularity, Nostradamus indicates greatness may still be his down the road by regaining control of the French nation and defeating the Islamic armies that will come to invade France under Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during World War III. The "envious one" who dies from a gun shot may be a future political opponent of Chirac's, perhaps Nicolas Sarkozy.

One word of warning on that, however. In May 2002 I used the same quatrain, along with Q3.41, to help predict Chirac's re-election and also that his then-rival, ultranationalist Jean-Marie Le Pen, would be shot in the eye by an assassin. Instead, the gunman's aim swerved too far to the north and west, and right-wing Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn died on French election day, a bullet through his brain. Quatrain 3.41 runs as follows: A crooked one (or hunchback) will be elected by the council, a more hideous monster on earth never seen, the flying shot will pierce his eye, the traitor whom the King received as loyal. These two quatrains may have the uncanny power of fulfillment yet again in 2007.

There is a pending event that may coincide with the election of Segolene Royal: the hanging of Saddam Hussein.

Quatrain 1.94 Au port Selin le tyran mis à mort, La liberté non pourtant recouuree Le nouueau Mars par vindicte & remort, Dame par la foere de frayeur honoree. At the Muslim port, the tyrant shall be put to death, However, liberty shall not be recovered: New war shall start through vindictiveness and remorse, A lady by force of terror shall be honoured.

Quatrain 1.92 Sous vn la paix par tout ƒera clamée, Mais non long temps, pille & rebellion: Par refus ville, terre & mer entamée, Morts & captifs le tiers d'vn milion. Under one man peace will be proclaimed everywhere, But not long after will be looting and rebellion. Because of a refusal, town, land and sea will be broached, A third of a million dead or captured.

NOTE: Selin is from the Greek Selena, goddess of the crescent moon and, thus, a symbol of Islam. The tyrant, Saddam Hussein, is put to death by hanging near the Tigris River. It is now believed that this may not occur until at least late January or February 2007, and quite possibly not until French elections are held in May. This will not end the sectarian violence and terrorism in Iraq, however, as the country plunges deeper into civil war. The "new war" may even extend to other nearby nations such as Turkey, Syria and Iran. The "lady" is Segolene Royal, newly-elected President of France. Terrorism and unrest in southern France and possibly in and around Paris shall be ignited "in honour" of her election victory.

Unike Segolene Royal, under Chirac there appears to be a celebratory air after his being elected and some initial success in establishing and maintaining peace and accord throughout France during a third term. Nor does he appear to stoop to oppression to accomplish this as is indicated in Q3.28 under a Royal administration. However, the eventual results are the same: looting and rebellion by youth gangs, mobs of malcontents, and ethnic Muslims, with a foreshadowing of revolution and an eventual Iranian invasion of southern France.

Thus far, we have tentatively established that when (and if) Segolene Royal is elected president, Saddam Hussein will be executed, civil war will be unleashed in Iraq, and war in the Middle East itself may expand. The following quatrain suggests that war may also begin between the US, Japan, and North Korea at this time. Also, in this verse, Nostradamus actually seems to name Segolene Royal:

Quatrain 5.19 Le grand Royal d'or, d'airain augmenté, Rompu la pache, par ieune ouuerte guerre, Peuple affligé par vn chef lamenté, De sang barbare sera couuert de terre. The great Royal of gold, by brass is augmented, The treaty broken, war is opened by a young man: People afflicted by a lamentable leader, With barbarian blood will the land be covered.

Perhaps war with North Korea does not take place until the female candidate Segolene Royale ("great Royal of gold") wins the French presidential election next year. Not only is the last name, "Royal," named; but so is "Segolene" with the word "gold."

A viewer writes:

"I saw your website where you asked if there was 'gold' to be found in the name Segolene, apparently to accord with what looked like a Nostradamus quatrain. The words in Hebrew for Chosen People are 'Am (people) Segola (chosen, treasured, reserved, trilistic). Segol is a Hebrew verb, consisting of three dots shaped in a downward pointed triangle. A bit like the inverse of the 'pax cultura' symbol. It has a mystical interpretation, of the binary relationship of yin and yang, resting on a third coda. Its prosaic origin is as a word used to refer to a king's reserved treasures. This could mean gold and often meant cattle."

Thanks for that!

The reference to "brass" may mean that she does not revive the economy and the times will become substandard ("brass"). It also has the meaning that she rises to power (is "augmented") by raising and investing a great deal of money in her campaign. "Brass" can mean coinage, ie. money.

To Nostradamus, the pudgy-faced Kim Jong Il would have the appearance of a "young man," although he is in middle age.

I suppose the people who are "afflicted" with a "lamentable leader" might be the people of France, since Ms Royal is not portrayed favourably in Quatrain 3.28: "Never in the kingdom has there arrived one so bad." Otherwise, it is the people of North Korea living in hardship under the lamentable "dear leader," Kim Jong Il.

The last line, "barbarians," often is used for Arabs and Muslims. But I suppose Nostradamus, seeing North Koreans, might consider these Mongols as "barbarians" too. Then again, the last line may mean jihad has come to southern France as predicted by Nostradamus, this time either from foreign invasion or by revolution of ethnic Muslims. In any case, a Muslim attack or uprising will be put down with great force and violence, causing their blood to cover the land. Yet another interpretation is that an air war has been launched against Iran around the same time as war with North Korea. Although I doubt such a war will end in victory for the US, the initial air campaign will certainly cause much bloodshed.

Much later, whether Jacques Chirac is president or not, it appears that he will be forced to escape France with the help of Germany. This clearly will occur during a military attack against southern France by Iran. If Chirac is president, prior to his escape, he may have the misfortune of watching his "sons" and "brothers," the fighting men of France, being forced to give up their arms to the enemy or, worse, witness the dispensing of Islamic justice to some of his soldiers when their hands are severed. In the end he shall return, powerful and full of wrath, liberating both France and Spain with the aid of Great Britain, Belgium, Netherlands, and a new, quickly assembled French military.

Quatrain 10.98 La splendeur claire à pucelle joyeuse Ne luyra plus long temps sera sans sel: Auec marchans, russiens, loups odieuse, Tous pesle mesle mostre vniuersel. For the merry maid the bright splendor Will shine no longer, long time will she be without zest: With merchants, ruffians (Russians?), wolves odious, All confusion, the universal monster. Quatrain 1.72 Du tout Marseille des habitans changee Course & pour fuitte iusques pres de Lyon. Narbon, Tholoze par Bordeaux outragee, Tuez, captifs, presque d'vn million. All of the inhabitants of Marseilles are changed, Fleeing and pursued as far as Lyon, Narbonne, Toulouse outraged by Bordeaux, The killed and captive are nearly one million. Quatrain 9.52 La paix s'approche d'vn costé & la querre Oncques ne fut la poursuite si grande, Plaindre homme, femme, sang innocent par terre Et ce sera de France à toute bande. The peace approaches from one side, and the war Never was the pursuit of it so great, Men and women moan, innocent blood through the land, And this will be throughout the whole of France. Quatrain 7.18 Les assiegez couleront leurs paches, Sept iours apres feront cruelle issuë, Dans repoulsez, feu sang. Sept mis à l'hache Dame captiue qu'auoit la paix tissuë. The besieged will colour their pacts, But seven days later they will make a cruel exit: Thrown back inside, fire and blood, seven put to the axe The lady who had woven the peace taken captive.

Quatrain 4.61 Le vieux mocqué, & priué de sa place, Par l'estranger qui le subornera: Mains de son fils mangees duant sa face Les freres à Chartres, Orl. Rouan trahyra. The old one mocked and deprived of his place, By the foreigner who will suborn him: The hands of his sons devoured [severed] before his face, The brothers at Chartres, Orleans, Rouen betrayed. Quatrain 5.100 Le boute-feu par son feu attrapé, De feu du ciel par Carcas & Cominge, Foix, aux, Mazeres, haut vieillard eschappé, Par ceux de Hasse, des Saxons & Turinge. The incendiary by his own fire trapped, Fire from the sky at Carcassonne and Comminges: Foix, Auch, Mazeres, the high old man escaped, By those of Hesse, of Saxony, and Thuringia. Quatrain 10.4 Sus la minuict conducteur de l'armée Se sauuera subit esuanouy, Sept ans apres la fame non blasmée, A son retour ne dira oncq ouy. At midnight the commander of the army Will save himself, suddenly disappeared, Seven years later, his fame unblemished, To his return not once will 'yes' need to be said. Quatrain 10.95 Dans les Espagnes viêdra Roy tres-puissant, Par mer & terre subjugant or midy: Ce mal sera, rabaissant le croissant, Baisser les aesles à ceux du vendredy. Into Spain a very powerful King will enter, By sea and land he will subjugate the south, This evil will cause the lowering of the crescent, A descending of the flags for those of Friday.

OTHER PROSPECTS FOR CHIREN SELIN

It should be noted that there are descendents of French royal families who could restore the monarchy if the French people desired it. Here is a summary:

1) Henri Philippe Pierre Marie d'Orléans, Comte de Paris, Duc de France, the Orleanist pretender to the French throne. As king, he would be Henri VII. He was born on June 14, 1933, as son of Henri, Comte de Paris and his wife Isabelle of Orleans-Braganza. He was born in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, Belgium. On July 5, 1957, he married Duchess Marie-Thérèse of Württemberg (born 1934). He received the title Comte de Clermont. Five children were born out of this union.

1. MARIE, (born 1959) married Prince Gundakar of Liechtenstein (born 1949), and has issue.

2. FRANÇOIS, Count of Clermont (born 1961) severely disabled.

3. BLANCHE, (born 1962) severely disabled.

4. JEAN, Duke of Vendôme and Dauphin de Viennois, (born 1965) unmarried.

5. EUDES, Duke of Angoulême (born 1968) married to Marie-Liesse de Rohan-Chabot (born 1969), with whom he has two children, Thérèse (born 2001) and Pierre (born 2003).

The marriage was unhappy, and ended up in a divorce in 1984. That same year Henri married Micaela Cousiño Quinones de Leon (born 1938). They have no children.

So, Henri, his sons Jean and Eudes, and grandson Pierre are directly in line to inherit the throne of France if it is ever re-established.

Henri, Duc de France	Prince Louis de Bourbon	Jean, Duc de Vendôme	Eudes, Duc d' Angoulême

2) Don Luis Alfonso Gonzalo Víctor Manuel Marco de Borbón y Martínez-Bordiú, considered to be the head of the French Royal House by royalists who consider the renunciation of Felipe V of Spain as invalid. They call him prince Louis de Bourbon, and accord him the title Duc d'Anjou (Duke of Anjou). As king, he would be Louis XX. He was born on April 25, 1974 in Madrid. His father was HRH Don Alfonso de Borbón y de Dampierre, Duke of Anjou and Cádiz. He is unmarried.

These two men, Henri Philippe and Luis Alfonso, are in contention with one another for the throne should the royalty ever be recognised again. When Henri passes on, it will likely be his second son Jean, Duke of Vendome who will then contend against Luis, Duke of Anjou, nine years apart in age. I would think that the eldest son of Henri, Francois, would be unable to govern.

Just as Great Britain's Prince Charles is reconsidering going by the name of Charles when he is coronated, the same applies here: any of these individuals could take the name of Henry if that is their wish.

TO BE EXPANDED FURTHER:

THE TWO TOP '' MABUS '' CANDIDATES

Middle East: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi terrorist leader	Balkans: Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Miroljub Labus

Both personalities may be correct. The death of the first could signal World War III in the Middle East. The murder of
the second might then signal World War III in Europe and global bio-chemical and nuclear holocaust.

THE THIRD ANTICHRIST

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He matches Nostradamus' description of the "Persian conqueror" and Daniel's "fourth king of Persia."	One of two potential Vladimirs prophesied by Josup Terelya: Russian President Vladimir Putin or future Russian dictator Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

Nostradamus writes of a great leader of Armenia who will be allied to the Persian conqueror. In Nostradamus' day Armenia covered a much larger region that it does today as an ex-Soviet state, spreading northwards into Russia itself.

Nostradamus' Olestant is translated as the Destroyer, a figure who appears in the Bible as "the king of the north."

Daniel says the king of Persia will be one horn of a conquering ram; the other horn "that will be higher" (more to the north) than the other horn will be the king of Media (Media was a vast empire spreading from northwestern Iran, northern Iraq, and part of Syria to the Transcaucasus and southern Russia).

Russia and Iran have had a mutual defence pact since October 2001.
