Nostradamus C8 Q77: Battle of the popes and their nuclear war
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, 2022

The future tense used in the text of  C8 Q77 makes it clear that it is about a religious war in a time well  beyond 1558CE. The anagrams make it apparent through the names Constantine(L1 en toſt annic) and Gregories(L4  rogie greſ) that the focus of the war is based on the issues debated at the Nicaean Council of the 4th century. One of the critical issues at that Council was the begotten / unbegotten status of Christ. It was as part of the resolution offered to that quest that the concept of the Holy Trinity became entrenched in the Christian Church.

These highly contentious religious frameworks can be seen as the under-pinning mechanism uniting the verses that have strongest links to the description in the 1558 Epistle quote shown alongside.

In this current verse another anagram for vignettes offers ties to the founding Pentecostal event that was at the heart of that debate. Notably the only other verse holding the lettering for that anagrams is also in this series. That connection gels with the brief account nature of vignettes. The text and anagrams therefore lead to a trail that focuses on the religious differences that arose from decisions made at the Nicene Council. 

C8 Q77 is also a strong contributor to another of my series; the one about the begotten / un-begotten status of Christ. It is for that reason I paired this verse with one on that topic that formed the trunk of this trail and was presented at an earlier point. That verse is C3 Q59 and it contains some of the most powerful religious terminologies to be found in any part of religious literature.

The concepts shared in this pair of verses meshes with other concepts produced in this series that make the end of this century the period in which the religious war that ensues from these differences will be fought. That period corresponds with the first of the Christ based clones reaching the age of religious and military leadership

It is here in this verse that Nostradamus makes it clear that the future holds a great war in which opposing views of the Christian church are engaged. His text indicates that it is those with belief in an active God that are the instigators of the war which is started in order to commit genocide on those who have different views. This verse therefore provides the header for the trail telling the story of the Antichrist wars.

C8 Q77

The antichrist very soon annihilates the three,
twenty-seven years his war will last.
The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled;
blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering earth.

L'antechriſt trois bien toſt annichilez
Vingt et ſept ans ſang durera ſa guerre
Les heretiques mortz captifs exilez
Sang corps humain eau rogie greſler terre.

Extra Info:

The anagrams yield a collection of complex words that also have religious war significance. Of these nontheistical (t oſt annichile) is the most potent as it refers to people who believe in a single God but not not in his interaction with mankind. It is combined with an anagram for interclash that implies war between those whose major views are identical. There are also anagrams for Constantine (en toſt annic) and Gregories (rogie greſ) both of which provide a historical parallel to the war that is yet to happen. Constantine is the name of the first Roman emperor to adopt christianity. In the eighth century (767-768) the second pope with the name Constantine came to be known as an antipope. Since that time there have been two antipopes with the name Gregory (1012 and 1118-1121). The implication of the text together with the anagrams is that a pope will be elected as a consequence of forceful intervention by a conservative faction but this antipope will be deposed after a twenty-seven year war that invokes the use of nuclear weaponry. The last line indicates the relevant Pope is Gregory VII since septet means seven, he had peasant origins and his vignettes lay behind his branding of the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV's papal nominee as an antipope.

It was Constantine I who was involved with the settings underpinning the Nicean Council and this council's main issues are a focal point for many of Nostradamus' quatrains. The threadin these verses is one of religious division over the status of Christ in relation to the God of monotheistic religions. These threads unite into a stream of Christ-based lineage stories and a disastrous religious war at the end of the 21st Century. This war blends into the other major Disasters of massive floods and fire from the sky that make up the three main streams of Nostradamus' Prophecies (See Nicea-Agennos for more).
