Nostradamus C9 Q69: The great 21stC flood covers seventy percent of France.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, 2022

Using this verse in my paper titled Floods I identify the dimension of Nostradamus' floods and show that it represents something greater than has occurred in the past. I do this by showing the unity in the statements made in both his Prefaces and his Prophecies.

The text of Centuries 9 Quatrain 69 ties it to the flood quotes in the 1555 Preface that provide guidance for his major themes.

The relevant sections of the Preface commentary are shown alongside.

These quotes and the verses linked to them are the basis underpinning the trail I compiled for reconstructing Nostradamus' work.

The connections between verses and quotes together with modern topics uniting the anagrams in these verses enables the trail for floods to be followed through a set of verses in a way that removes the obscurities faced by earlier analysts. 

The main verses involved in this flood group are listed in pairs in the table top right. I list them in pairs because there is a natural fit of ideas using that style but they also form a cohesive whole with cross-threads between the text and anagrams of all verses in the group of ten. 

This verse pairs with C8 Q16 because their text involves vast floods of the nature mentioned in the quotes.

In the text of line 4 of this current verse, C9 Q69, we have "Lobster on land" implying a flood reaching up into the mountains. 

 That line also states "not a third thereof will remain" which is the counterpart to the entry in the f lood quotes entry  "there shall not be scarcely and land".

But it is also a near perfect match to the statement in C8 Q16 which says there will be such a great sudden flood that one won't have place nor land to fall upon the waters mount to the Olympic Fesulan".

The statement in the text of the last line of the current verse stating not a third thereof will remain is exclusively a flood claim made by Nostradamus and its repitition in the flood quote empahsizes how impartant he saw his claim.

Modern science doesn't foresee a rapid rise in sea levels that would cover seventy per cent of the currently available land surface even under the influence of climate change.

Such a coverage would require a change in the sea level of over 160 meters. Yet this not the only verse or location where that level is implicit in Nostradamus' text as I will show in a later trail based on this current verse.

In this current verse its rarest anagrams provide a sinister basis for themes already begun in earlier parts of the trail. They involve the relationship between genetic technology and aspirations of leaders. I also covere those leaders desire to pass on their control of the masses and this infalmes a group of ideologues to use ancient DNA to re-create their long-dead founding hero.
