| Analogies for What The Prophecies Really Are (1) |
| The Quatrains Are Pieces of A Puzzle |
One has to see The Prophecies as a puzzle
in a box. In this case there is no picture of
the puzzle on the box top, only the name.
This name is still an important part of the
overall understanding, and you will notice
that the title is not The Predictions. While
one of the sub definitions of "prophecy" is
"a prediction of something to come," the
real definition is, "an inspired utterance of a
prophet," and more specifically, "the
inspired declaration of divine will and
purpose." When divine is understood to be
defined as, "of, relating to, or proceeding
directly from God," one has to realize that
the title of Nostradamus' work is
immediately proclaiming to be a prophecy of
God. The plural usage then tells us to
expect multiple prophecies, which if seen as
predictions of something to come, they are
known to originate from God, and not
Nostradamus. This maginifies the use of the
word "The," as not just some prophecies,
but "THE" Prophecies of God. This is an
important point to remember, once the
puzzle box is opened.

puzzle box is opened.
Once the puzzle box is opened, we do not
find all of the pieces just in one bag, to be
opened, in order to put the puzzle together.
Instead, we find the pieces of the puzzle in
10 separate bags, each with its own title of
"Century," with a number for each, 1
through 10. When we look in any one bag
we find that these pieces have not been
separated, as 10 individual puzzles that fit
into one bigger puzzle, we find that they are
all randomly separated puzzle pieces. This
separation then serves no real purpose in
the process of putting the puzzle together,
but it does help create confusion about why
the puzzle is separated in this manner. In
the original text titles, Nostradamus wrote
"Centurie," which does translate to
"Century." However, this does not mean
100 years, as the French word for this is
"siecle." Centurie actually comes from a
Latin root, and simply means 100. For
example, Centurian means one of a group
of 100 soldiers. Therefore, these titles
simply state that 100 pieces of the puzzle
are inside each bag, such that with 10 bags
included, we assume this is a 1000-piece
puzzle. A problem does arise when we only
find that there are only 48 pieces in the bag
entitled "Century 7." This has led some to
believe that some pieces have been lost,
but this cannot be confirmed. The only
logical thing to assume is that the puzzle is
really a 948-piece puzzle, and as this is
God's puzzle, that's all we need to get the
picture.

The final thing found in the puzzle box is the
instruction sheet for what the puzzle means.
This is Nostradamus' Letter of Preface,
but this is presented like another puzzle to
solve. It has been so misunderstood over
the years that it has become easier for
people to interpret this letter as separately
important, while taking each puzzle piece
out of its bag, inspecting it, and then telling
us what it means, without attempting to link
it with other puzzle pieces for the true
effect. This borders on magic, or slight of
hand, and is actually as useless as trying to
do the same with any puzzle.

This is what the completed puzzle looks
like. Well, at least the puzzle that was
really inside the baggies, from the box
that was papered over. Still, it is a lot like
what The Prophecies looks like when all
the quatrains are put together. The big
bad wolf is coming to eat you up, unless
you do something now to prevent that
from happening. If you look at all the
pieces of this wolf puzzle, it is thousands
of little pictures of wolves. Just like the
quatrains are little wolves too.
