Is there any truth to this Nostradamus/Malachy mystery? I
honestly do not know; but as I noted earlier, time will be
the best tester of Michel Nostradamus and his Quatrains. As
I've already pointed out, the dilemma we face here is this:
Should we forthrightly accuse Michel Nostradamus of being a
false prophet, or should we attach this label to those who
have misinterpreted his works? If Nostradamus hadn't been so
fearful of the Inquisition, perhaps we would have a better
idea of what he truly meant, and we could thus make a better
evaluation regarding the validity and accuracy of his work.
For now, the best advice that I can offer you, in addition
to the previous verses that I shared with you, would be the
following:

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall
know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A
good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
Matthew 7:15-20, KJV

"And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then
shall they know that a prophet hath been among them."
Ezekiel 33:33, KJV

"But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my
name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall
speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall
die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the
word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh
in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come
to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken,
but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt
not be afraid of him."
Deuteronomy 18:20-22, KJV

You may also want to consider reading my article "Office Of
A Prophet", and similar articles which deal with Endtime
deception.

If you stop to think about it, we find ourselves in somewhat
of a similar position when it comes to the Bible. We English
speakers are at a clear disadvantage here. Why? Because we
were not personally or directly involved in the events which
influenced and shaped the translation of each book, nor in
the decisions which resulted in which books were accepted as
a part of the Canon. In fact, we don't even have second-hand
knowledge. As I point out in my article "The History Of The
Authorized KJV Bible", what we read today is the result of
various collations, translations and interpretations. The
purity and accuracy of our modern Bible, in large part, has
thus been determined by the original translators, such as
Desiderius Erasmus, William Tyndale, Coverdale, et al, the
governmental authorities of that time, and the powerful
religious authorities of that time as well.

While it may surprise some of my readers that I would even
say this -- as it may appear that I am detracting from the
Bible -- it may very well be that as a result of the power
and influence that each of these parties wielded during the
translation process, the Scriptures and the prophecies that
we have received today, may be heavily adulterated. In other
words, some of them may no longer be as pure, and their true
meanings may have been lost for intentional or unintentional
reasons. As I explain in the aforementioned series, as well
as in such articles as "The Lamb Of God Was A Goat", I feel
that this may indeed be the case with the beloved KJV Bible,
which I highly respect, and have used for about forty years.

In short, I suspect that the Bible may be a much more radical
book that we realize, but those in power at the time, both
political and religious authorities, had the interpretations
of some areas toned down so-to-speak, so that they wouldn't
be quite so radical, so offensive, or so contradictory to the
established beliefs which were dominant at the time, and more
acceptable to the general populace, as well as to King James.

As we conclude this discussion in part two, we will apply my
previous comments to the Quatrains of Nostradamus, as well
as more closely examine the practice of channeling. Also to
be discussed will be true Prophets versus the inaccuracy of
false prophets, America's generation of false shepherds, New
Age influence on the American West Coast, charismatics and
the practice of necromancy, possible motivations behind the
omission of Christ's Return in the Quatrains, seeing what we
want to see, our hunger to know the unknown, controlling our
own destinies, trusting God for the future, my personal
position concerning the Quatrains, being persuaded in our
minds, and a series of questions which can be applied as a
litmus test. I trust that you will join me.

Before moving on in our discussion, allow me to add a degree
of balance to my previous statements, lest anyone reading
this article form an erroneous opinion. As I also point out
in my series "In Defense Of The KJV Bible", while I am not
ignorant of the fact that the KJV Bible has been the object
of personal prejudice, as well as political and religious
manipulation, I am also equally convinced that the purposes
of God have not been defeated; and that in spite of man's
much tampering with God's Holy Word, God is still much more
powerful than man; and He has preserved the most important
essence of His Word, including the Message of Salvation, as
well as the prophecies, for we modern-day readers. As some
of my readers will also know, it has also been my regular
practice for a number of years now, that whenever I am in
doubt, or curious about something, I always refer to the
Hebrew and Greek lexicons, in order to better understand a
certain passage or group of verses. I don't always just take
things at face value, because the translators of the Bible,
as God-fearing as they may have been, were still humans
prone to error, whether it was intentional or not.

So how do my previous remarks relate to the "prophecies" of
Michel Nostradamus? Well, for one thing, many of us do not
read French. In addition, we have never met the man, or read
the original manuscripts. We are relying upon the honesty,
integrity and accuracy of the interpreters, as well as that
of those individuals who had power over the translators and
interpreters. In this particular case, we are talking about
Dolores Cannon's trilogy, "Conversations With Nostradamus";
and we are being asked to demonstrate great faith in the
channeling abilities of several people who were under her
direct supervision.

As you will already know, the concept of channeling itself is
a highly controversial practice. We are asked by Ms. Cannon
to believe that some of the channelers -- and one of them in
particular -- spoke directly with Michel Nostradamus, or with
his spirit, or actually took on the very essence of Michel
Nostradamus. So should we just outright dismiss channeling as
being a Satanic practice?
