With all of the above statements made (everything is directed by the power of God immeasurable; we were
inspiring together, but not by drunken frenzy pagan ritual nor by some raving movement form of inspiration; but
I was able to see the workings of the solar system in my mind's eye), Nostradamus switched from Old French to
Latin. This is an important shift because a different language means a different form of speech. One then has
to remember that in the mid-1550s, although Martin Luther had begun a phase of translating the Bible into the
language of the locals, Latin was the (emphasize this as THE) language of the Vatican, and the Roman Catholic
version of the Bible. As such, Nostradamus is now switching from the language of the common people, to the
language of God (as determined from the Hebrew-Greek Scriptures in the 5th Century, AD Latin Vulgate).
Those who have translated Nostradamus and made some level of a living doing so have come to these Latin
shifts, changing many to match a direct quote from the Bible. However, while this series of words in Latin is not
one of those Bible quotes, it is in all practicality a summary of the Roman Catholic determination of what
constitutes true prophecy (or, the definition of the word, prophecy, as approved by the pope). Prophecy is only
possible through Divine Inspiration; and a prophet is never shown everything. Prophecy only comes in small
amounts.
Somehow (if you look closely you can see how), Peter Lemesurier translated this Latin section to read, Only
those inspired by the divine godhead can prophesy, and only those inspired by the spirit of prophecy can
prophesy detailed events. I hope that you can see how the ampersand directional mark disappeared
completely; and Peter duplicated what was said before this mark, after the mark. He repeated, Only those
inspired by the, when nothing of this was actually written there. This, of course, is the prophecy of Peter
Lemesurier, rather than a preface statement by Nostradamus; the way people make things up to act as though
Nostradamus stated something he did not state. Nostradamus actually wrote something quite different,
although the intention may have been to have someone like Lemesurier come away with this feeling of meaning.
When you read only between the signs (punctuation marks and symbols), you stop at the ampersand. You
also have to read one word at a time, and then see how the various meanings one word knit together with the
next word, and its multiplicity of usage. This means the first word we see in Latin is the capitalized word, Soli.
This word can mean, Only, but as a form of the word, solus, it means, Alone, as in solitary. As an acceptable
form (2nd person noun) of the word, solum, it means, bottom; floor; foundation; or, soil; land; country. As such,
this important beginning word (due to capitalization) is stating the foundation of the following statement is that
Nostradamus is physically Alone.
The word numine is then found to translate from numen, numinis to mean divine will; divinity, or, god. This is
then followed by the word divino which translates as the verb meaning, To foretell, to prophesy; or, to forebode.
This then leads to the word afflati, which is a form now spelled, adflati, meaning, blowing; breathing on; or
(transf.) inspiration. The last word in this series is then praesagiunt, which had the 3rd person ending, meaning
it states a phrase, they see predicting, or they do presaging.
When these words are strung together we come up with, divine will to prophesy inspiration they do presaging.
As a flow of words with Latin used to denote the biblical themes, we can certainly see that divinity, prophecy,
inspiration, and telling the future are all well-known elements that connect God to men known as prophets. As
such, these men would have no claim to prophecy, had it not been for God. Therefore, Only the divine will of
God can lead men to prophesy, as it is God who fills men with inspiration, leading them to presage the future.
Still, we have to keep in mind this is not the Bible we are reading here. It is Nostradamus' Letter of Preface to
The Prophecies. It is therefore using Latin to confirm the divinity of the source. The capitalized Latin word,
Soli, not only means God is THE (importance denoted through capitalization) Only one capable of knowing the
future, it means Nostradamus was Alone, before the divine will of God came to him and moved him to prophesy.
The we of an unseen Spirit with Nostradamus (just as the Holy Spirit was unseen as it came upon the Apostles
at Pentecost) was the inspiring element that was the inspiration for Nostradamus to begin telling of the future, in
his book named The Prophecies (another important capitalized word). This makes the Latin both the holy
language of the Bible's books of encounter with God and the holy language of Nostradamus' encounter with
God.
At this point, we find the ampersand that Peter Lemesurier wanted to change to the word, and, while repeating
half of what was written before the ampersand. In reality, following this announcement that Nostradamus was
not an Alone predictor, we find him writing in Latin, spiritu prophetico particularia. Again, these words need to
be addressed one at a time; and although they do not begin with a capitalized first word, the ampersand acts as
an indicator of increased importance to the words to follow.
The word, spiritu, can actually have several translations. It can mean, breathing, breath, exhalation; a sigh; the
breath of life; life; inspiration; spirit; disposition; a high spirit; soul; air; and pride. The word, prophetico, means,
prophetic, related to prophesy, foretell, and predict. Finally, the word, particularia, is a form of the word,
particular, which means, a small part; a particle; a little bit; an atom. When you string these words together, you
have, spirit prophetic a little bit.
Following the ampersand, the important spirit can only be the Holy Spirit. This is how prophets become
prophetic. If you read the epistles (the word means letters) of Paul, you find him listing all of the many qualities
that one can be filled with, when filled with the Holy Spirit. Paul called these gifts, and in 1st Corinthians 12:4 he
wrote, There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit. He then named: expression of wisdom;
healing; performing mighty deeds; prophecy; discernment of spirits; speaking in tongues; and, interpretation of
tongues. As such, Nostradamus is pointing out his abilities come from the Holy Spirit, and the gift he has been
allowed is that of prophecy. This ability has led him to write The Prophecies; but there is no a great story to be
told in whole. It had to be told in small particles, which are the 4-line verses we know as quatrains.
When the whole Latin series is put back together, so that the ampersand does act like the word, and, we see
that Nostradamus wrote, Alone divine will to prophesy afflatus (meaning, creative impulse resulting from divine
inspiration) they see predicting AND soul prophetic a little bit. This can certainly be a reference to you, the
reader interested in what Nostradamus wrote.
Why are you interested? Do you look him up on the Internet while you are Alone, and in need of something to
fill you? Do you sense divine will is the only way to prophesy? Do you find what others have spoken about
Nostradamus inspiring? Do you see predicting as possible (weather, financial, sports betting, etc)? AND, if you
have been called to learn more about Nostradamus, is there something in your soul telling you to read this
website? Do you understand the purpose of prophetic warnings as gifts to benefit people? Can you glimpse
just a little bit of what I am saying here?
Again, let me state that I have written maybe seven pages of text to explain four to nine lines of text. If I was to
begin telling you how there are seven of these references to God being behind Nostradamus' ability to write
prophecies in the Preface, your mind would ache at the thought that you would have to read another version of
what you just read. However, there are six more that I will explain; but I will save that for another time. The
point becomes, How much proof do you need to believe in God? Nostradamus says everything is from the
power of God immeasurable. That is the only argument.
You seriously do not expect me to prove God to you, I hope. You are the only one who can do that for yourself.
If you do not believe in God, well then let us argue your weak opinions about what you think Nostradamus
wrote, against my wealth of evidence for what he did write. Let us have a fun logical philosophical argument. If
you do believe in God, then ask yourself if you still doubt Nostradamus was a prophet of God. If you do, why?
It is about time we all have to get on one side of the line drawn in the sand, or the other, because the line has
certainly been drawn.
