People attribute to him great powers of prediction. They consider him a prophet who saw the fate of mankind a thousand years in advance. The only insignificant catch in his prophecies consists in the fact that the brilliant medium wrote his knowledge down in a coded form, and that he did it so artfully that people still can’t understand or fully decipher it. He has been given the right to foretell the future—yet he himself merely wanted to live a rich life. Everyone who studies Nostradamus’s prophecies repeats the same mistake: they forget the simplest logical axiom, which says that from truth only truth can be derived, but that from a false foundation anything can follow—both truth and falsehood.

Nostradamus found a sure way to win a reputation, fame, and riches at court. Contemporary writers have surpassed their teacher by using his works for the same purposes.

Born into a family of Jews who had recently converted to Christianity—not of their own free will, but in accordance with the rigid edict of the King of France, Louis XII—Michel de Nostredame grew up in an atmosphere of mystery, living a double life, which left an imprint on his entire childhood. His parents continued to practice Judaism in secret, and the precocious child could not fail to see how unconscionably the government had acted by unceremoniously telling its subjects what to believe in and which god to pray to.

In order realistically to assess anyone’s capacity for prophecy, we must remember that a single number is responsible for the gift of clairvoyance or prediction—the 9, the sign 999 and higher; and if either the second or fourth fundamental number is equal to 9, then this by itself already indicates that the person is a potential prophet or clairvoyant. An examination of Nostradamus’s сode (date of birth: December 14, 1503) casts doubt on his capacities for prophecy:

In Nostradamus’s code, the number 9 is absent.

Let’s use the code to analyze Michel Nostradamus’s personality:

Personality type 11111 and 8 indicate a strong and commanding individual, capable of making decisions for himself, but not always capable of entering into open opposition against another person 2. In everyday life, he is better served by a different personality type, which he made use of: 111 and 88, with a gradual but inevitable transition to a final stage of 1 and 888. The sign 888 has two diametrically opposite meanings, and the choice between them is decided entirely by the person’s attitude toward money: if material riches have no great meaning for him, then the 8’s stand for kindness, tolerance, truth-seeking, a sense of duty toward people close to him, and love and compassion for his parents; if material wellbeing is sufficiently important, on the other hand, three 8’s point to blackmail that he might employ to his own advantage. What, then, is the truth significance of Nostradamus’s 8’s?

There can be no doubt that Michel kept in his memory the persecutions and deprivations that his family went through because of religious differences. One can speak with confidence about the vengeance that had to inevitably follow such abuses against their faith in the true God. Precisely for this reason, the meaning of the 888 in Nostradamus’s code can be interpreted unequivocally: blackmail as a means of vengeance against the Catholic and the whole Christian world for the cruelty shown by the Inquisition to the family of the future PROPHET.

55 stands for a sound sense of logic and intuition—the best weapons for a blackmailer, which allow him to start all kinds of intrigues and to set all kinds of snares.

15 and 6 are Nostradamus’s third and fourth fundamental numbers, which define the basis of all of his actions and plans: a singleminded 1 plan 5 that leads to destruction 6 and money.

Anyone who reads Nostradamus’s predictions will notice one peculiar characteristic of his “prophetic discoveries”: all of them are connected to death and destruction. Every time, he warns about some tragedy—a misfortune or a catastrophe, for a ruler or for a whole nation—but the prophecy always has to do with the world of the Christians, not his own Jewish descendants. This was precisely the point of Nostradamus’s plan for vengeance: his prophecies concern only people of other faiths, not Jews.

Nostradamus, then, was a personally interested man seeking revenge, desirous of riches and a position at court, and striving to enter history as a great prophet and prognosticator. It was to this end that he made use of the strongest and most effective means available to him: people’s fear of death, war, the elements, and illness. Nostradamus blackmailed the entire planet, all of humanity, the whole world. This is how the first and second fundamental numbers in his date of birth, 17 and 8, must be interpreted: power 1 over the world 7 through blackmail 8. If money was not the first of his ambitions, then it was certainly not the last, since the code contains four numbers: 4, 55, 6.

Nostradamus enters the university (October 23, 1529—23 5 and 19 10) with a specific aim, already well-formulated and indicated by his numbers: singlemindedly 1 to accumulate knowledge 9 in order to acquire true leadership 10. In 1534, he finally achieves his own personal happiness, by acquiring a tenderly beloved beauty of a wife and two charming little children, whose appearance in the world makes his life infinitely happy.

Dark days arrived for him when the plague broke out in Agen. Calmly and confidently, the physician entered into battle against the dreadful enemy, and only when ominous spots appeared on the faces of his wife and children did Nostradamus finally understand that he was too late and that he, who had saved thousands of people, was not destined to preserve those who were dearest to him. This blow, however, not the last. The “grateful” citizens of Agen, many of whom owed their lives to Nostradamus, had more surprises in store for the grief-stricken man who had just buried his family. As often happens, numerous rivals, envious people, and straight-out enemies rushed to smear Nostradamus’s name with mud once he had been debilitated by his tribulations by declaring him a charlatan. Nostradamus’s reputation as a doctor was ruined. In addition, “well-wishers” quickly came out of the woodwork who accused the doctor of being a heretic, and although the accusation had no substance whatsoever, Nostradamus was nonetheless ordered to stand trial before the Inquisition’s court at Toulouse.

Under the cover of night, he fled his native land to Italy and remained in hiding from the Inquisition for several years, rethinking his entire life. It was precisely during these years of wandering that the “gift for prophecy” awoke in him—as a consequence of the misery and humiliation that he had been forced to undergo. His whole former life had collapsed, and his new life opened up with a blank slate, upon which he inscribed the word “PROPHET.”

More trouble came in the middle of the sixteenth century from the rains in Provence, which ultimately became the source of one of the worst epidemics in the entire history of France. For several years, death ruled the land, and when Nostradamus arrived in the city of Aix, the capital of Provence, it appeared to him that he had come to Hell: corpses littered the streets, and nothing but wailing and moans could be heard from the open windows. There were no doctors in the city. For the next 270 days, Nostradamus labored day and night in his struggle against the fatal illness. He ordered that all of the corpses be removed from the city’s streets and that the streets be cleaned up. His efforts and experience were not wasted: the plague retreated, and from being an outcast Michel Nostradamus became a national hero. The town elders even saw fit to give him a life-long pension. For some time after this, he continued his wandering, moving from city to city on the tracks of the plague, until at last at the age of 45 years he felt the need for a settled life and put down his roots in the town of Salon, where he married a rich widow, Anne Ponsart Gemelle (in the year 1548, whose fundamental numbers are 18 9 16 7). This moment marked the beginning of the double life of the wandering doctor, who had seen so much of the world. On the one hand, the citizens of Salon knew him as an excellent specialist and a kind-hearted man with a splendid sense of humor, with whom one could always have an intimate chat. On the other hand, the light burned late into the night in the windows of this kind soul, and those who stopped to look could see the silhouette of Nostradamus hunched over his papers and writing his endless missives to people who were not yet born, as is indicated by the third and fourth fundamental numbers in the analysis of his Pythagorean square: influence by a person who uses willpower 1 and the power of fear or money 6 to rule the world 7.

Endowed with a strong sense of logic 55, Nostradamus definitively formulates the final aim of acquiring knowledge: the energy 2 of different kinds of knowledge 3 will strengthen his sense of logic and solidify his plans 5. Just what kinds of plans he hoped to realize can be seen from the date on which he began his career as a court astrologer: the year 1555, fundamental numbers 16 7 and 14 5—the third and fourth fundamental numbers now occupy the first and second positions, which enables him to strengthen, nurture, and rethink the original motives that pushed him to embark upon the path that he has chosen for himself.

If we know the date of an event in the form in which it has been preserved—whether it is the complete date or only the year, month, or day of the event—then we can find out what happened in reality, since time preserves only those parameters that carry the most valuable and vital information about the event.

We know that Nostradamus spent several hours in conversation with the Queen of France, after which he became court astrologer. The queen had seen in him a strong-willed 1 and powerful man 4, endowed with an extraordinary sense of logic and intuition 5, which had been fueled and fortified by knowledge acquired at the university.

The queen’s only mistake was her naiveté and faith in the purity of the astrologer’s intention. She believed that his mission was to preserve her from possible dangers, to warn her about twists of fate and the propitiousness of the stars. But Nostradamus’s interests had little to do with the desires of the first lady. He was pursuing something quite different—power over the world—and he found a vulnerable place where he could strike: the power 1 of fear 6 over the world 7.

This formula became the foundation of all of his prophecies. One must give Nostradamus his due: his idea of creating prophetic texts was thoroughly thought-through and based on the knowledge and analysis of numerous possible situations. Possessing a good knowledge of astronomy and astrology, he flawlessly defined the intervals of his prophecy—centuries. Every astronomer is familiar with the cycles in the movements of comets and celestial bodies. Halley’s famous comet has the longest cycle of all, but it too completes its journey around the sun once every 76 years, which means that at least once a century this wanderer will reappear in the skies. Nostradamus employs synonyms and calls comets by other related names: celestial bodies, stones from the sky, punishment from heaven, the sky splitting open wide, an enormous vision, and other terms. It is natural for people to substitute one concept for another if they want to believe a prediction, and this must also be seen as one of Nostradamus’s inventions—he made the greatest possible use of people’s desire to see and discover the mysterious, to become witnesses to a miracle.

Nostradamus attained his goal: he is in power 1; success 7 is in his hands and he can give everyone the punishment they deserve; and he can now proceed to blackmail 8. All of these numbers are derived from the year when he composed his first three “Centuries”: 1558, fundamental numbers 19 10 and 17 8, which we have analyzed. He can enjoy his power to the fullest if he makes use of the power 1 of prophecy 9, which will be based on the real-life power of the court astrologer 10. The period is the Middle Ages, when all sorts of occult sciences, alchemy, and magic flourished. This is why Nostradamus was able to persuade everyone that the stars were favorably-disposed toward his person, that he had the gift of the prophet.

The ground was prepared, but the final goal was not yet attained. Nostradamus needed power over the world. He writes his final seven “Centuries” in 1556. The fundamental numbers of this date are 18 9 and 16 7—the third and fourth of these numbers appeared in the analysis of the date when Nostradamus was given the title of court astrologer (1555), but there they occupied the first and second positions. The fact that the numbers shifted in this way can mean only one thing: his goal—power 1 of fear 6 over the world 7—was realized, his predictions were feared, but they were feared by isolated courtiers and noblemen, whereas he wanted them to be feared by the entire world. It is precisely to this end that he writes that last of his “Centuries”: the force and power 1 of blackmail 8 are framed as destiny, the prophecy of fate, inevitability 9. This is the height of malice toward mankind, or, to put it more precisely, toward the Christian world, which Nostradamus dooms to annihilation through fearful wars and natural disasters. The time had come for him to avenge himself for the persecution of his family 9—revenge, injury, destiny, inevitable fate.

Nostradamus died the very same year he wrote his “Centuries,” which were filled with anger and hatred of humanity: on July 2, 1566—additional numbers 27 9 and 25 7. The cause of death: 25 7—the energy 2 of his plan 5 to rule the world 7. The outcome of death 27 9—the energy 2 of the world 7 brought about its outcome—fate, destiny 9. It’s to calm the excited minds of easily-frightened people and to leave in utter obscurity Nostradamus’s grudges against mankind.
