WHERE IS VENGEANCE?
Scary times. As many who follow this page may know, Nostradamus's language operates on two levels: literal and symbolic. When we read through that lens in consideration of current events, several distinct patterns begin to converge.
One pattern is Western — Zeus, King Of The Zodiac and its related symbology - the lightning‑mark (which might appear as a S, Z, or italicized F). From old-Greek kingship symbols to the twentieth‑century sigrune insignia, to modern military markings in Russia, the same jagged stroke reappears across eras. It functions as an archetype: sign of the storm‑bringer, initiator of destruction. This may connect directly to the Z on Putin's tanks.
The second pattern is Eastern — Century 9, Quatrain 73 describes a White‑Crowned King displaced and a Blue‑Crowned King rising in his place:
Century IX, Quatrain 73
The Blue Turban King entered into Foix,
And he will reign less than an evolution of Saturn:
The White Turban King Byzantium heart banished,
Sun, Mars and Mercury near Aquarius.
Nostradamus used color as a structural device, a way to signal succession, reversal, and inheritance. With the rise of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, the symbolic shift in Iran from white to blue is especially interesting. Notably, an 'evolution of Saturn' might be viewed as orbital period; Saturn's orbit is about 29 years. Also, Aquarius is from Jan 20 to Feb 19th, and Trump started the war with Iran just nine days later, on Feb 28th (that set of talks began on Jan 20, and the pre-planning for the bombing on 02/28 almost certainly took at least 10 days).
These two symbolic systems — the lightning‑mark of the West and the blue‑crowned successor of the East — are often treated as competing interpretations. They are not. They describe different phases of the same pattern: the destroyer and the avenger, the initiating blow and the retaliatory arc.
And then there is the unresolved line from Century 2, Quatrain 62:
Century II, Quatrain 62
Mabus then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
Nostradamus does not specify the source. He leaves only the structure: the death of MABUS followed by a severe vengeance in reprisal. So is the final prophecy regarding the convergence of Iran and Russia carrying out an attack? Is it simply Putin nuking Ukraine (as I have long believed)? Is it a nuclear 9/11-style terror attack upon the United States from Iran? Is it some combination thereof?
The pattern is visible. Its direction is the only part still withheld. Where is vengeance?
