Thoughts Derived from Quatrain 72 of Nostradamus' prophecies (Revised)

July 13, 2000 |   Christine Jiang, Sydney, Australia

Numerous people are looking for the truth hidden behind the coded quatrains made by the famous French prophet Nostradamus in the Century 15.á Historians have found the matching historical facts of many of Nostradamus' prophecies such as the execution of Charles I, the French revolution, the rise of Napoleon, World Wars 1 and 2, and even the Beijing Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4, 1989á
á
When it came to July 1999, it seems that we did not see the matching facts of what we are frightened of: the coming of a great King of Terror, the sky was not falling either, I was constantly wondering whether his prophecies were still valid.á
áá
Let's have a look at this quatrain again:á

In the year 1999, seventh month,á
From the sky will come a great King of Terror.á
To bring back to life the great king of Angolmois,á
Before and after Mars is to reign by good luck.á
[Century X, quatrain 72
12 months after July 1999, I was browsing the web, all of a sudden, an article "A reference for Prophecies" caught my eye, and the truth started to be revealed right in front of me:á
áá
There was indeed an event that happened in July 1999!!áá

Since then, that topic has involved millions of people around the world, and it has penetrated into many aspects of the society: media, politics, heath organizations, research institutes, international organizations, human rights organizations (such as the United Nations), etc.á
áá
In short while, almost everyone around the world either heard about it or was involved in it.á
áá
We were just too careless to notice that fact.á

Maybe I am wrong, however, I want to list some facts for your reference and wish you could provide your thoughts on it as well.á
áá
At midnight on July 20th, 1999, mass forceful suppression began, with hundreds of sudden arrests, of more than 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners, being made across China that night.á
áá
A nationwide ban of Falun Gong was then enacted, the anti-Falun Gong campaign progressed, all sorts of state-run media were used to spread misinformation and fabrications about Falun Gong and its founder, in attempts to sway and mislead the readers and audiences.á
áá
Millions of legally published Falun Gong books, audio tapes and videotapes have been confiscated and destroyed.á
áá
Tens of millions Falun Gong practitioners in China have been forced to quit their practice of Falun Gong or face the loss of their homes and jobs, expulsion from school, or suspension of pensions.á People not practicing Falun Gong have also been under pressure to "help" the government to "transform" persistent practitioners through "re-education" - a euphemism for inhumane mind-altering procedures perfected during the Great Cultural Revolution.á The entire Chinese nation has been led into a "battle" wherein grandparents, parents, siblings and children suddenly find themselves the "enemy" of one another.á Almost no one has remained uninvolved in this divisive state of affairs.á
áá
Starting from 22nd July, persistent Falun Gong practitioners (including large number of elderly women) started to be persecuted horribly:á
á

A recent statistics indicates that more than 40,000 Falun gong practitioners were arrested during the past year, 5,000 were sent to labor camps without trials, hundreds were sentenced to imprisonment and at least 24 died in custody
áá
(Please find the details of the cases in "A Report on extensive and severe human rights violations in the suppression of Falun Gong in the People's Republic of China" at web site: http://minghui.ca/eng.html

The scale of the suppression is unprecedented; its needless use of force is beyond comprehension The most bizarre thing is that despite the terrible persecution of millions of Falun Gong practitioners in China, the UN Human Rights Committee, the highest organization in the world, has turned a deaf ear to the facts of the super-large scale violation of human rights.á Some countries have exchanged their righteousness and conscience with other people's lifeblood and lives to maintain their economic interests.á
áá
In the preface of the book written by Mr. Jean-Charles de Fontbrune, where he gave a very wise interpretation of Nostradamus' prophecies, it is said, "Nostradamus no longer sounds like a lunatic, but rather like a careful chronicler of the awesome unfolding of man's fate through world events.á The patterns of history are suddenly apparent, and the prophet becomes disturbingly credible.á This is only when M. D Fontbrune arrives at the present that he must, obviously, dispense with historical validation of his interpretations, and leave us to believe or disbelieve in the future that is presented.á It remains for the reader to decide whether he or she can accept this grim vision"á
áá
If these are what the King of Terror is doing, then why? Everything is there for a purpose; we are always scared of the truth and use skepticism as a shield to protect us from such a revelation.á

ááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááá In Reference to a Prophecy

áá Disciples: What is currently unfolding in China was previously arranged. Many people throughout history have prophesied this. They chose not to articulate the matter directly so as to both conform to the deluded way the world is and to warn its people. Therefore, everyday people are only able to realize the meaning of aá prophecy after history has come to pass.áá

áá For example, with regard to what is happening in China, Nostradamus, the Frenchman, stated the following in his book of prophecy, Centuries, hundreds of years ago:áá

ááááááá In the year 1999, seventh month,áá
ááááááá From the sky will come a great King of Terror,á
ááááááá In order to bring back to life the great king of Angolmois,á
ááááááá Before and after Mars reigns in the name of bringing people happiness.á
ááááááá [century X, quatrain 72]

áá What he said about "the year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a... Terror, In order to bring back to life the... king..." refers precisely to a few people with ulterior motives in the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party using their power to initiate a vicious, comprehensive suppression of Dafa and Dafa disciples. They have arrested people, beaten people, sent people to labor camps, sentenced people to jail, and destroyed the books [of Falun Dafa]; they have used the army, the police, spies, and diplomatic means; and they have used all of their radio stations, television stations, and the press to spread lies andá carry out the persecution in a villainous fashion. Its overwhelming magnitude seems to threaten to bring downá the heavens, while their viciousness has spread throughout the entire world. With degenerate concepts, the old forces arranged this for the purpose of "testing" Dafa in a destructive manner. The process of Master's Fa-rectification among humans is, from the Divine Beings' perspective, just like a process of resurrection.á
áááá
áá As to the sentence "before and after Mars reigns...",á it means to say that [Karl] Marx is ruling the world before and after the year 1999. In fact, it is not only communist societies that are currently practicing Marxism. The social welfare system and its kin adopted by the developed countries of the world are also communist things within capitalism. Those appear to be free societies, yet it seems that the whole world is in fact practicing communism. People who have come from communist states to the developed countries in the West share one impression: "It feels like communism here, except they don't advocate violent revolution."

áá With regard to the last part, "in the name of bringing people happiness," this refers to the communist idea of liberating all of humankind, as well as to Western societies' sustaining social welfare through heavy taxation.á

áá Since this matter is still in the process of being concluded, I am only deciphering these several sentences. As a matter of fact, prophecies concerning this time period have circulated in many countries. The few remarks above are only for reference.á
