4. The Iraq War

There is a quatrain of Nostradamus that clearly points to three conflicts occurring in the areas of Arabia/Kuwait, of Eastern Turkey and of Iran. The first one already came to pass 12 years ago in what came be to known as Desert Storm. The second one refers to the current war in Iraq. And the third one is for the near future when, this time, Iran will be involved also.

The first quatrain is

On the field of Iran, of Arabia and of Eastern Turkey
Two great armies will assemble three times
Near the river Araks
The host of the great Suleiman will be cut off

(Century 3, Quatrain 31)

“By firepower of armies, not far from the Black Sea,
He will come from Iran to occupy Trebizond

(Century 5, Quatrain 27)

Trebizond is a strategic city in Eastern Turkey on the shores of the Black Sea.

Quatrain No.54, Century No. 5, states:

From the Black Sea and the great Tartary;
a would be king will come to see Gaul
He will transpire Alania and Armenia
and in Istanbul will leave his bloody standard.

Gaul was an ancient name for Turkey and Alania is modern day Chechnya that suggests Russian involvement in the Iraq-Iran conflicts in the near future.

3. The Death of Pope John Paul I

Much to the dismay of many Catholics, there are several quatrains that point to the death of Pope John Paul I being a murder. This pope held office for only 35 days in 1978 and died mysteriously

“When the tomb of the great Roman is found,
a new Pope will be elected the following day
he will not be approved by the Senate
his blood poisoned in the sacred chalice.

(Century 3, Quatrain 65)

A murder is once again pointed to in this quatrain. The tomb of the great Roman is St. Peter. The senate is the Cardinals of the Curia. The quatrain implies that Pope John Paul I was poisoned by being given something to drink.

“He who shall have the government of the great cloak
will be led to execution in several cases.
The twelve red ones will come to spoil the cover
beneath murder, murder is done.”

(Century 4, Quatrain 11)

The one in the great cloak is the Pope. The twelve red ones refer to the cardinals.

“Elected as Pope he will be mocked by the chosen
suddenly and unexpectedly removed, prompt and timid.
Caused to die, through too much goodness and kindness
he will fear for the guard killed on the night of his death.”

(Century 10, Quatrain 12)

In 1979 new Pope (John Paul I) had scarcely been pope for a month, when suddenly, he died. He was immediately cremated which is unusual because of the tradition of the entombment of popes within the Vatican walls. An autopsy was not performed and a cause of death not officially determined.  This has created much speculation about a conspiracy to eliminate him because he was perceived as being too weak to deal with the issues of the day.
