A little Nostradamus in the Afternoon:
75.14 "Then, within the same year and through the following years. a most horrible epidemic of plague shall break out. caused by the preceding famine. and such great tribulation~ as never have happened since the foundation of the Christian Church in the Latin regions. not even in Spain V'here traces remain. 'Thereupon, the third ruler of Aquila, hearing the cries of anguish of the peoples of his principal title, shall raise up so great an army, and shall retrace the steps of his ancestors in order to put most nations back on their feet again. "Then, shall the Great Vicar of the Cope be restored in his former estate."
"That this passage refers to America is almost certain. The "title" of the U.S.A. is its being Vestern and European in culture, even though it lies beyond the ocean. Nostradamus gives the added precision that he "shall retrace the steps of his ancestors.·· Moreover, the emblem of the American Coat of Arms is the White Eagle (Aquila in Latin). But why the “Third ruler of Aquila'?" The most likely interpretation is that there shall rise a great American president, of the stature of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. who will thus be "the third [greatl ruler of Aquila." There is a lengthy prophecy about such a person which, as well as I can determine, has never been fulfilled by anyone so far. But there is a deliberate ambiguity in Nostradamus' terminology~ he uses the word "Aquilonnaire" which may mean either "of Aquila", or "of the North wind". As a result, the vord may stand for either “U.S.A.” or "Russia", according to the context. But the context, here, makes it clear that Aquila is the U.S.A. To a 16th or even 19th-century reader, however, it would not have been clear by any means; this is one of the characteristics of many prophecies: quite obscure at first, until the developments of history allow for an interpretation."
