In the world there will be made a king,
who will have little peace and a short life.
At this time the ship of the Papacy will be lost,
governed to its greatest detriment.
Par l’vniuers (univers) sera fait vn (un) Monarque,
Qu’en paix & vie ne sera longuement,
Lors se perdra la piscature barque,
Sera regie en plus grand detriment.
(from http://www.sacred-texts.com/nos/mrg/nosmrg01.htm)
By the universe a Monarch will be made,
That in peace & life will not be lengthily,
At the time the fisherman’s* boat will be lost, (*piscature translates from Latin to English as fisherman)
Will be governed in larger detriment.
My translation is in green.
First let’s talk about the translation. You can see that the accepted translation and mine are mostly the same. The main difference would be the third line. Piscature doesn’t translate from French but from latin as fisherman. Now this changes the line from the “ship of the Papacy” to “the fisherman’s boat”, which is something all together different. However, we must remember that Nostradamus wrote in cryptic prose. After some research I discovered that the Pope wears a ring called the “ring of the fisherman”. This ring is used to seal official documents. You can find the information here: Wikipedia:The Fisherman’s Ring, and from the Catholic Church here: New Advent:The Fisherman’s Ring. So we can surmise that Nostradamus was talking about the Papacy.
Now as far as the meaning, after some careful thought this might be happening currently. Let’s examine the first two lines. President Musharraf of Pakistan for intensive purposes has declared himself King. His claims that he will restore the government once the current “problem” is under control. This could be a king with a short life, either he will be killed or when he restores the government. I think one can safely say that it is not peaceful in Pakistan at this time.
Now let’s look at the last two lines. The Pope, Pope Benedict and the Saudi King Abdullah have a meeting in Rome today. Here’s a link to the news story: Pope and Saudi king hold historic meeting. Ever since Pope Benedict made a comment in a sermon linking violence to Islam, he has been trying to calm the Muslims. Today he is discussing how the Christians, Muslims, and Jews should work together for peace. This in my studies can never be. Anything that can come out of this would be at a loss to the Catholic Church. Thus “governed to its greatest detriment”. In other words the Christians would lose what is sacred to them being replaced by a compromise with Islam, most likely causing the Pope to lose his power.
Michael Rathford, in his book The Nostradamus Code: WWIII 2007-2012, postulates that the second-to-last pope will be “swallowed” by the Antichrist’s scheming. He says this:
“The second-to-last pope instated after the assassination of the current one will have a short reign. Due to political blunders and mistakes he will pave the way for the final pope to be a tool of the Antichrist. His reign is an omen of the final downfall of the church.”
Ok now to tie all this together. I think we can safely say that the current pope, Pope Benedict at least thinks he has made some political blunders and is trying to “build bridges” with the Muslims. Now if Musharraf cannot get control of his country and is arrested or assonated, the end of his short reign, by the radical Muslims they would control an arsenal of nuclear weapons. It could take some serious negotiation to stop the Muslims from using the weapons. Pope Benedict could step in and really make a series of political blunders that would cripple the church. What could come out of the negotiations could be a bastardization of the Catholic Church and Islam. Pope Benedict could be assonated by a fundamentalist Christian and usher in a new pope that would be the right hand of the Antichrist leading us to Armageddon. So this could be events that could take place very soon, within the next year or so. But then again all of this is speculation. You decide for yourself.
Update: 11/7/07
My email-pal William Buffet writes me that:
I believe this not a current item. In my opinion it happened during Napoleon’s reign when he made the Catholic church subserviant to him.
I haven’t had a chance to look into this yet, but I thought I’d put that out there for you to think about.
