Nostradamus C8 Q58: Two Middle Eastern kingdoms bring chemical war to Britain & France
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, 2023

The predominant themes in the anagrams for this verse are a savage war and the use of chemical warfare.

Supplying the basis for my claim of chemical war are anagrams such as elements (mes et le n), aerial (er a l'ai), bromine (e nom Bri), liqueurs (lique Sur), smelter (rmes et l), molten (t le nom), brominate (e nom Brita), arsenic (ican ſer) and residue (eres diu).

The theme of brutal war rests on the name Tamerlane (t mener a l'a)  in the anagrams of the last line. This Turco Mongol warrior's invasion of Persia in the fourteenth century was notable for the pyramids of heads he left behind as he slaughtered those he conquered.

The anagrams for Saracen dart realign Saudi title ( eTilt_re Angli_can ſera _ tard_ aduiſ)  use all letters in the third line forming the chain of adjacent words shown above.

In so doing they imply that the people of the lands once ravaged by Tamerlane are the ones engaging in the war against the United Kingdom and France . It also implies they do so as a united front.

The first line of text refers to two quarrelling brothers that divide the kingdom. This division is amplified by anagrams for sectarian (ican ſera ta) and dualities (aduiſe Til) in the third line. The gestalt of the text and anagrams suggests that two dire sects combine forces for an attack upon religious communities of the West.

There are many ties in this narrative to that given in the quote from Nostradamus' 1558 Epistle on the children of the once-barren Lady's daughter. The reference to the band between 50 and 52 degrees corresponds with the political centres of  the United Kingdom, Belgium and Ukraine.

The parallels between text and anagrams of C3 Q98 and this verse are the reasons I have paired them in the two brothers series.
