You realise that Nastydoofus intended his ‘predictions’ for the age he lived in and that they are invalid for any age after?
Further, he wrote in quatrains in such a vague manner that anything he wrote could be interpreted at will to mean anything?
He also wrote to speak out against his own government at the time, an act that was often stated to be treason and punishable by death.
“Further, he wrote in quatrains in such a vague manner that anything he wrote could be interpreted at will to mean anything?”
Exactly. It can be a fun game to play, though. Let’s try with the qt at issue:
“New law to occupy the new land
Towards Syria, Judeau and Palestine:
The great barbarian empire of men decay,
Before the moon completes its cycle.”
Century 3:97
Hmm, so let’s apply this to Germany. New female ruler with new attitude toward islam? Check - Merkel. Barbarian empire of decay? Sounds like the EU, which appears to be starting to splinter. I can see Merkel pulling Germany out if the Germans keep having to bail out failed states. Bonus: Moon completing its cycle could mean 30 days, which in prophesy often means 30 years. The EU was really solidified in 1993. The take-away: Merkel is going to pull Germany out of the EU before 2023. Well, if the world doesn’t end in Dec 2012.
See, that was easy! Anyone else want to play?
