Michel Nostradamus

(painted by his son Cesar)

 The sixth King is also the first in two ways, Michel Nostradamus

was the greatest prophet in the last millennium. Living in a time

when ignorance ruled, with a zealous church imposing the Inquisition,

and in the field of Medicine, bleeding was a common practice. From

his childhood he knew he was different, though he didn't understand

what was happening to him or how he fit into the larger picture.

 While studying to become a doctor the Plague broke out in France

and he went to help the sick. Not using conventional methods that

were used at the time he came up with his own treatment. He did not

bleed his patients and was concerned about their personnel hygiene.

He also made pills which he gave to his patients to suck on, which

were made from roses (vitamin c) and a combination of five other

ingredients. He had great success and saved many people and his fame

was just starting to grow in France.

 When the Plague finally subsided he went back to school to finish

his work and become a doctor by passing his final exams. After this

was completed he was offered a job at Montpellier as a teacher where

he stayed for a few years. But he became restless and left to travel.

 He was invited to the home of an intellectual named Scaliger where

he stayed for awhile studying and set up a practice in Aix. He was

married for the first time here and had two children. Things were

going very well for him until another round of the Plague broke out. 

While he was away treating others in another part of the country the

Plague swept through his home town and his family died while he was

away. He saved many but the three he wanted to save the most died 

and he was heartbroken. When I whine about what they are doing to me 

I only have to look at what was done to him and I really have little 

to complain about. That is not to say that They've done nothing and

that there isn't some very unpleasant things coming. I use the word

They because he is not the one giving the orders, he is my teacher,

and They refers to the Trinity. Well after the death of his family 

when he was about thirty he moved on and traveled for about the next 

ten years. One of the sayings about him was, that he saved half of 

France, but couldn't save his own family.

 He finally came back to his home in Salon where his brother was

the mayor. He settled down and married his second wife Anne Gemelle

and they had six children. About this time he started to write "The

Prophecies". Which he worked on until his death publishing parts of

them during his life with the complete book, as far as he was 

supposed to take it, published 2 years after his death, by his wife

and an assistant named Chavigny who lived with him the last decade

of his life. It was not an accident that the seventh century was not 

finished or that it stops after the forty second quatrain. I was 42 

when I went to France for my forty third birthday to fulfill Quatrain 

10.72, "and from the air will come the great King of Terror", as that is 

one of my names. There was violent opposition from many about his 

prophecies and if he had told all that he knew they would have killed 

him. The church especially for who he could have said he was and he 

is, the Michel mentioned in Daniel chapter 12 and in Revelations 

chapter 12. Daniel 12. 1-4 reads:

         "At that time Michael, the great prince, the protector of your 

          people, shall arise. There shall be a time of anguish, such as 

          has never occurred since nations first came into existence. 

          But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who 

          is found written in the book. Many of those who sleep in the 

          earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to 

          everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine like

          the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to 

          righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you 

          Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until 

          the time of the end. Many shall be running back and forth, 

         and evil shall increase."

 Now the "time of anguish" that had not been seen since the nations

had first come into existence was the Black Plague, and he helped

many of his countrymen. Also this speaks to the time which we are

just entering, the end of the time of the gentile, and he is here 

as my teacher and with the "little book" that he authored. I'll speak 

more to this subject later but here is the last 2 lines of the 

Quatrain 10.74:

        "Not far from the great age of the Millennium

         when the buried (dead) will come out of their graves."

and from Quatrain 2.46:

                 After great misery for mankind an even

                 greater one approaches, when the great

                 cycle of the centuries is renewed.

The twentieth century saw 2 world wars and killing on an 

unprecedented scale. But nothing like what is coming in this

century.

 He foretold the King's death and what the wound would look like

and when and how this would happen. The Quatrain 1.35 states:

             The young lion will overcome the old, in

             a field of combat in a single fight. He will

             pierce his eyes in a golden cage, two

             wounds in one, he then dies a cruel death.

The Queen sent for him in 1556 to explain it to her, and he went to

Paris, the joust was fought in 1559, and the prophecy was fulfilled.

The Queen became his benefactor and she protected him for the

rest of his life. So he was able to work on his book and practice

a little medicine on the side. I like the story about how he helped

to build a canal to bring water to the Salon area as I am very 

comfortable with building things large and small. He built a study

on the top floor of his house and this is where he did the bulk of

his work, writing the 10 centuries of Quatrains.

 I have a blood tie to Michel, it is through his daughter Magdalene.

This story has been woven through the eons from the beginning of

life on earth up to the present and beyond. There is meaning in his

daughters name and it was no accident that they gave her that name. I

have read the letter to Cesar and it is not a coincidence that he was

the first born or the name he was given.

 Michel Nostradamus is interned in Salon at the church, St. Laurent,

in an alcove about in the middle of the church on a side wall and the

altar in the back has a statue of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus

in her arms. There is a piece of marble with the words his wife

wrote:

          Here lie the bones of the illustrious Michel Nostradamus, alone

          of all mortals judged worthy to record events of the entire world

          with his almost divine pen, under the influence of the stars. He

          lived 62 years, 6 months, 7 days. He died in Salon in the year 

          1566. Let not prosperity disturb his rest. Anne Pons Gemelle

           wishes her husband true happiness.
