Nostradamus C3 Q22: The battle in Lille that is the model for a future war.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

The dominant theme in this verse is a battle to suppress religious heresy.

The story line implies that people in the city of Lille, northern France, who publicly worship a god of fertility are set upon by armies from several nations who will then fight over the spoils.

This event in a single city provides the allusion for the major war that will follow along similar lines later in this century.

# poetaster: one who writes inferior poetry.
# Baalite: worshipper of fertility god(s).
# obstreperate: refers to be coming noisy and unco-operative.
