Chapter 61 prophetic bible

In the West, "The Centuries" is called the "Bible of Prophecy", and this book is the most memorable and admirable contribution of Nostradamus. Relying on his genius performance in prophecy and skillful application of astrology, Nostradamus soon became a very famous person in the society at that time, and the whole of France began to admire him, even King Henry II They all once invited him into the palace to predict the country's good and bad fortune. Fame brought many conveniences to his life, but such days only lasted 5 years.Afterwards, Nostradamus felt that he should leave something for future generations, so he left the court and came to Sharon, where he spent four years concentrating on completing the famous prophecy "The Centuries".

"The Centuries" is based on medieval astrology, also known as "Hundred Poems", which is a collection of prophecies written by Nostradamus in the form of quatrains.The book is divided into 12 volumes, and each volume contains about 100 four-line poems.Among the thousands of prophecy poems, many poems are written with a strong sense of mystery, and they are difficult to read. It really takes a lot of work for ordinary people to understand.But it is also based on this that people in later generations are more willing to spend a lot of effort to interpret the words in the poem, and combine them with various historical events that happened later, and find out the effectiveness of the prophecy.

This method has been tried and tested. Judging from the whole book, the content of "The Centuries" is extremely complex and quite confusing.There are rumors that this is caused by different editions in the early printing and distribution; others say that Nostradamus himself is playing tricks to create a false impression for people, thereby increasing his own sense of mystery.In any case, after the publication of "The Centuries", the prophecies made by Nostradamus began to spread throughout Europe.Especially after it accurately predicted the death of King Henry II, people's worship of Nostradamus reached its peak. The various prophecies made in "The Centuries" are deeply believed, and the whole of Europe has had great repercussions for this.

In the 400 years after the death of Nostradamus, the classic book of prophecy "The Centuries" written by him has been republished second only to the religious holy book "The Bible".But compared with the Bible, there are far more people devoted to interpreting the book "The Centuries".Moreover, among these interpreters, more are those who agree and believe.In the process of interpreting the prophecy code written by Nostradamus in later generations, people claimed that Nostradamus accurately predicted many events, even the direction and trend of historical development.Events such as the flight of airplanes, the appearance of automobiles, the explosion of the atomic bomb, the victory of the French Revolution, and the rise of Hitler all became the objects of Nostradamus' prophecy.

However, nothing is just for praise. There are also many people who are skeptical and critical of Nostradamus and "The Centuries".They believe that many believers of Nostradamus and interpreters of "The Centuries" in the later generations added, deleted, and rearranged words in the content of this book at will during the research process, and even intentionally or unintentionally They distort many words and interpret the content of symbols and metaphors without considering any objective factors.Critics pointed out very sharply that believers of Nostradamus used subjective assumptions to connect the collection of poems "The Centuries" with historical events that occurred in later generations. Such subjective assumptions are hardly convincing. .

All critics point their fingers at the misunderstanding of later generations, not Nostradamus himself and his "The Centuries".They believe that the reason why "The Centuries" became a book of prophecy is entirely due to the deliberations of later generations, rather than the successful application of Nostradamus' astrology. But even today, the influence of the prophecies of the "Centuries" is still very significant.Major events such as global pollution, the greenhouse effect, the El Nino phenomenon, and the Indonesian tsunami have all been claimed to have found their precursors in this "prophetic Bible".

However, Nostradamus' last prophecy - the extinction of mankind - has not yet come true.No one dared to completely deny the authenticity of this prophecy, which is one of the reasons why "The Centuries" still maintains its mystery.
