Why did Nostradamus write his prophecies?

Nostradamus has many interpreters, and each of them found something different in his book. Why don't we try ourselves on this interesting and mysterious path? Nostradamus himself wrote that he coded his prophecies, and some found there references to Napoleon and Hitler, others to the French and Russian revolutions, the First and Second World Wars. But there is one peculiarity — all these correspondences appeared only after certain events had already taken place in reality, with the exception of only the one, but more on that later. So tell me, what is the purpose of such predictions, if they cannot be adapted in any way in order to spread the straw where it is necessary, and not to stuff yourself with bump after bump? Was Nostradamus just having fun and mocking the descendants: I know, but I won't say, get what you deserve, what you did to yourself. But maybe not everything is so simple? He wrote that he sees the future as if in a fog, that is, that it is still uncertain, optional, probable, that it can still be changed. Why didn't he change anything then? Maybe because the time has not yet come? It is more likely that it is coming right now...

What he really achieved was that his book was printed many times over a period of almost 500 years. But what is the profit in this, if neither he nor even his descendants receive royalties from it. He must be up to something, this cunning Nostradamus. Because why did he have to spend a lot of time on all these quatrains and messages? Moreover, he himself wrote that his prophecies will still be useful to someone in the future: "Notwithstanding those who cannot contain the malignity of the evil spirit, as time elapses after my death, my writings will have more weight than during my lifetime...” (Eclipse to Henry II). That is, his work still has a certain meaning and some addressee in time and space. If so, and this is exactly what he writes about, then of course this explains why he wrote his prophecies in such a way that almost all of them can be interpreted only after a certain event. This leads to an explosion of interest in his prophecies, and businessmen, of course, satisfy this need with new publications of the work. Such a postal envelope-rebus.

Skeptics attribute this to Nostradamus's inability to predict future events. They are simple people, but they believe that if he has already seen the future, then he should write everything directly. But what would happen then? Imagine that there is a book where not even the entire future is written, but only its main events. They would begin to come true, and people would certainly begin to treat it as a reality, and would begin to try to change the future in their favor. Such changes would be uncontrollable and lead to unpredictable consequences. And the consequences could become much worse than those that should have been in the natural course of things. Therefore, open prophecies do not make sense. Why should they be published at all? Imagine that you can see the future and are smart enough not to reveal how it will turn out, but you know that somewhere in the future there will be a time and place when the future can go down many different paths, some of which are very bad for posterity. For this, such a coded book may be needed, which should affect certain events at a certain time.

What follows from this? Well, first of all, trying to decipher all the predictions of Nostradamus is futile. In order to understand his intention, it is necessary to find only the same time and the same place that he had in mind as the goal of the desired influence on the course of future events. Shall we try it? First, let's look at the same example of a successful interpretation of an event before it happened. In the 70s of the last century, the Russian emigrant V.K. Zavalishin on the prophecies of Nostradamus, Zavalishin predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1991.

Nostradamus wrote in the Epistle to Henry II: 
"And it will be in the month of October than the great translation (revolution) will be made and it will be such that one will think the gravity of the earth has lost its natural movement and that it is to be plunged into the abyss of perpetual darkness. In the spring there will be omens, and thereafter extreme changes, reversals of realms and mighty earthquakes. These will be accompanied by the procreation of the new Babylon, miserable daughter enlarged by the abomination of the first holocaust. It will last for only seventy-three years and seven months." 
According to the old Julian calendar, the revolution in Russia took place precisely in October and even had a name - Great October. What was still ahead of her in the spring was probably the February Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the tsarist government. And if we add 73 years and 7 months to the date of the October Revolution, we get the summer of 1991. Some of the republics left the union earlier, some later, but the summer of 1991 can be considered a critical moment, which ended with the August GKChP — an unsuccessful attempt to restore the Soviet empire to life. It is also important to remember that Nostradamus calls Russia the new Babylon, while the real one was located in Mesopotamia.

Is this the main event? It is unlikely that the prophecy of Nostradamus somehow contributed to the collapse of the USSR. But there is a somewhat related event that he mentions three times in the course of his address to Henry II, returning to it again and again each time and covering it from different angles and each time in greater detail. The first mention looks like this: 
"Then there will issue from the branch which had remained barren for so long, proceeding from the 50th degree, one who will renew the whole Christian Church. A great place will be established, with union and concord between some of the children of opposite ideas, who have been separated by diverse realms. And such will be the peace that the instigator and promoter of military factions, born of the diversity of religions, will remain chained to the deepest pit. And the kingdom of these Rabbis, who remakes wisdom, will be united...". 
The second mention begins as follows: 
“Afterwards, one will appear from one branch, which has been barren for a long time, who will free from the slavery of the meek and voluntary the universal people, who relied on the protection of Mars, and deprived Jupiter of all his dignity and titles for the sake of the place of freedom, the constitution, located in another tight (small) Mesopotamia. And this leader and ruler will be torn out of this sphere and exposed to the fresh air, not knowing the conspiracy of the conspirators, together with this second Thrasybulus, who will own all this for a long time...".
And, finally, the third mention: 
"Then this Jupiter as a mountain, this Gallic Ogmius, will appear, accompanied by such a great number, which from a very distant Empire will be shown from its great law. For some time thereafter the blood of the Innocent will be shed profusely by the recently elevated guilty ones. Then, because of great floods, the memory of things contained in these instruments will suffer incalculable loss, even letters (language). This will happen to the "Aquiloners" [the Northern People, russians] by the will of God. Once again Satan will be bound, universal peace will be established among men, and the Church of Jesus Christ will be delivered from all tribulations, although the Azostains would like to mix in the honey of malice and their pestilent seduction. This will be near the seventh millenary, when the sanctuary of Jesus Christ will no longer be trodden down by the infidels who come from "Aquilon" [Russia]. The world will be approaching a great conflagration, although, according to my calculations in my prophecies, the course of time runs much further. "

A lot of attention is devoted to the described event throughout the Link, so it can be considered the most important bottleneck of history. It was for the sake of this event that Nostradamus did all his great work, and in my opinion, this event is happening right now, and this branch that will bloom again is Ukraine, which was once called Kyiv Rus, and then was in decline for a long time, and recently disgraced by her old insidious enemy — the Horde, which in the form of the Moscow Ulus is trying not only to destroy her, but also to appropriate her history and achievements. The first time Nostradamus reveals only the geographical latitude, namely 50 degrees, but in the next mention he writes about "the new small Mesopotamia". He called Russia, where the October Revolution took place, the new Babylon. The real Babylon was located in Mesopotamia. We can also translate "new little Mesopotamia" as Little Russia. Ukraine was called that some time ago. Initially, such a name did not have a negative connotation, as, for example, Little Greece, which means purely Greece. That is, Little Russia is purely Rus, or Kyiv Rus, because Rus was precisely and only Kyiv Rus. But then Muscovy disgraced this name as well, giving it a derogatory meaning - small, stupid, younger, peasant, undeveloped.

In principle, now the idea that epoch-making events are currently taking place around Ukraine, which will certainly have a huge impact on the future of the whole world, is not a revelation. This is what politicians, public figures and the military say. Probably, in this sense, it would be possible to do without the predictions of Nostradamus. Thus, the understanding of the non-trivial nature of current events is still coming to Western society slowly and not yet fully. Not everyone yet understands the precipice the world is balancing on, and I am not referring to the possibility of using nuclear weapons, which, of course, is terrible and unacceptable. But more terrible consequences can be the uncertainty of Western leaders, their indecision in the battle with refined evil, with which there can be no compromises, because even tiny concessions to this, it seems already, biblical evil involved, as it is written, in solid lies, will lead to the fact that it will return in an even more terrible form. It will turn around and devour the uncertain. But I don't think that the prophecies of Nostradamus can somehow influence them or accelerate their sobering up. None of the "serious" people will pay attention to it, and the "non-serious" ones have no influence. So what is the meaning of these prophecies?

We usually think that prophecies or predictions are meaningful as a call to certain positive actions or a warning against negative ones. And what about provocation? That is, did Nostradamus expect to provoke someone to certain actions? Most "serious" people really cannot be reached, but among them there are some who are sensitive to mysticism and paranormal phenomena. These are dictators. Well, who hasn't heard of Hitler and Ahnenerbe? There are many rumors about the mystical evolutions surrounding Putin and Shoigu. Of course, we will not delve into it, but, as they say, there is no smoke without fire. So what could Nostradamus hope to provoke the dictator? Probably only for the war. But can war be useful for good? Yes, war is probably always bad, just like, for example, killing a person alive. However, sometimes it is necessary to cut a person when it is necessary to save him from a bigger problem, for example, a malignant tumor or an inflamed appendix. No matter how bad any war is, if European leaders had not shown uncertainty in 1939 and decisively come to the aid of Poland, a great and terrible war in Europe could have been prevented. And so evil turned and devoured the uncertain…

Yes, could Nostradamus have provoked Russia's war against Ukraine? Such a question may seem, if not crazy, then at least fantastic. And yet there are some facts that can be interpreted in this way. This may refer to one of Nostradamus' most famous quatrains. It sounds like this:

The year one thousand nine ninety-nine seven month
From the sky shall come a great King of terror,
[Shall be] revived the great King of Angoulmois.
Before and after, Mars [shall] reign as chance will have it.
(Centuria X, No. 72)

How can this quatrain relate to Putin and the war he started despite its illogicality? The fact is that he describes some events related to the solar eclipse that occurred on August 11, 1999. The first two lines of the quatrain speak of him. And this event is connected with the revival of the great king (third line). Different interpreters think about this king in different ways. Some call him the king of the Mongols (and this can also apply to Russia, since Moscow was created by the Golden Horde). Others consider him the great king who should change this world. Putin, like many dictators, believes in mysticism and his exclusivity and mission. I am sure he was convinced that it was written about him. Why? And because Putin became the Prime Minister of Russia on August 9, 1999. And this is exactly the kind of explanation that occurs among Russian interpreters of Nostradamus — I saw it with my own eyes. Why can it be assumed that Putin believed them? Nostradamus wrote in a letter to Henry II that changes in the world should begin at the 50th degree of latitude. Putin built his main bunker in Altai precisely at the 50th degree of latitude, and in addition, he constantly talks about a new spin that will begin, or rather, has already begun, precisely from him, Putin. And finally, no other famous "king" besides him appeared during this period.

Many interpret the last line of the quatrain to mean that this king should rule successfully both before and after the war. Putin, believing what Nostradamus wrote about him, dared to start a war with complete confidence in his victory and subsequent triumphant rule over the whole world. That is why he so brazenly demanded that the whole world submit to him before the war. He was sure that he would definitely win. If you look at the video recording of the meeting of the Russian National Security Council, which preceded the start of the war, you can see that Putin is very excited and even bounces in his chair with impatience. He is sure that he has started a great business that will allow him to become practically the ruler of the world. Because of this confidence, he started the war completely mindlessly, waiting for an easy and quick victory. He still believes in his victory and continues to demand Ukraine's surrender, despite the real situation.

If Nostradamus really saw the future, he couldn't help but know that this is exactly what will happen. That this dictator will take his quatrain to his account and start a war. And there is another quatrain that shows that Nostradamus knew this:

When the eclipse of the Sun will then be,
The monster will be seen in full day:
Quite otherwise will one interpret it,
High price unguarded: none will have foreseen it.
(Centuria III, No. 34)

It turns out that Nostradamus specifically provoked this war? No, this does not absolve Putin or Russia as a whole. The question is, why did he do it? Perhaps he saw different, alternative options for the future, and decided to help the best of them come true.
Many political scientists believe that if Putin had not launched an aggression against Ukraine in 2014, occupying Crimea and the East of the country, he would have been able to slowly and surely conquer Ukraine through political means, corruption and propaganda. And in some time, Ukraine would become the same as Belarus. Using the resources of Ukraine and its people, including the military, who know how to fight so well, he would be able to start an even bigger and more brutal war in Europe, and no one would be able to take the hit the way Ukraine is doing now. But Putin turned the people of Ukraine against him, starting first with aggression in 2014 and then with a large-scale invasion in February 2022. Perhaps he caused this war precisely because it was written in Nostradamus, and he wanted to fulfill the prophecy and get the reward that he thinks belongs to him - ruling the whole world.

Whether Putin will receive his reward or collapse depends not only on the heroic Ukrainian people, but also on the decisive actions of the leaders and peoples of the West in support of Ukraine. The insecurity of these leaders can be no less catastrophic, which will harm their peoples as well, because even tiny concessions or some games and useful calculations with infernal evil will lead to more innocent blood. Uncertainty in the fight against evil is the path to nonexistence, because it is not for nothing that it is written: "... that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth..." (Rev. 3: 15, 16).
