Mabus will soon die, then will come.
A horrible slaughter of people and animals.
At once vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred lands.
Thirst, and famine when the comet will pass.

Nostradamus, Century 2, Quatrain 62


This quatrain by Nostradamus has often been assumed to speak of the Antichrist and the end times, but what if a different interpretation was taken, where Mabus was an actual person?

When reading a
story in the Daily Telegraph about the drawdown for American forces in Afghanistan and how the generals have told President Obama he would not be permitted to politicize these maneuvers, something popped at me:


Ray Mabus, the US Navy Secretary


I don't think I have seen this suggested anywhere else, but what if Nostradamus chose the name Mabus not as an occult anagram, but as a personification for the entity he represents, which would be the United States Navy?

In recent days, I've read several threads about the potency of anti-ship missiles as an asymmetric response that could destroy the American carrier presence, using this story here as just one example of the prowess of Iran in this regard. Worth noting is there is nothing here to inherently suggest this is Iran, but given the temporary nature of any Secretary position in the U.S. Government, it would have to be a current actor with China being the only other possibility that makes sense in this interpretation.

Read in this light, the prophecy might be predicting some devastating attack on the American Navy, where the retaliation is a bombardment launched from many places. At that point, you could interpret the final two lines of the quatrain in different ways, which you can picture as you wish.

Comet references are inherently nebulous, but given all the attention paid to Elenin, it could also fit.

That is an interesting take on it. I'd heard often of the obaMA BUSh play, but I'm not surprised someone else is looking at this the same way, although he seems more interested in the person where I've taken it as a metaphor for the Navy.

Please forgive me I should have paid more attention to what you were saying, it was late and I was tired and it didn't sink in. That being said, and re-reading your OP I think what you are saying is defiantly worth pondering.The prophecies of Nostradamus are not fully understood until after the event in many cases, this is one I hope does not come true..we shall see how all of this plays out and I am going to subscribe to this thread as down the road it may become very important.

Very good post..SnF Cheers Coco
