BUT THE REAL THING IS THAT I POSTED IT TO SEE HOW PEOPLE WILL REACT   AND WELL ALL YOUR ANSWERS ARE RIGHT TNX. PHILIPINES ROX.

Well, here’s the version of the prediction in question that I could find:

“The year of the great Seventh number accomplished: it will appear at the time of the games of slaughter. Not far from the age of the great Millennium when the dead will come out of their graves.“ —Century 10, Quatrain 74

I don’t know what the original French version of it went like.

Anyway, it seems that the dead were supposed to come out of their graves with the great Millennium, rather than the year of the great Seventh number.  Or something like that.  Grammar and syntax don’t seem to be strong points of either Nostradamus or the translator in that quatrain.

Acci,  supposedly the French version is:

Au revolu du grand nombre septiesme
Apparoistra au temps Jeux d’Hecatombe,
Non esloigné du grand eage milliesme
Que les entres sortiront de leur tombe.

“‘Two Girls, One Cup’ contains hidden messages detailing the Illuminati’s plans for galactic conquest. They only made it that way so that nobody would pay close attention to it.“

You can’t close threads just because you want to, silver.
They generally just stay open.

again im only 12 *warning please dont read the parenthesis too boring to read full of random questions* (in moglin yrs. i think? why did i say that? whos Illuminati? whos Accipiter? or a smerk ? is that a dragon? where did i hear that before? this is supposed to be in my mind!why am i typing these? why do i keep on asking these things oh and whats a moderator my head hurts….)oh yeah now i remember!they always stay open! whoa 0_o

Whether you’re 12 or 112, the point remains the same. A thread is not closed because the person making the opening post gets bored with it, or considers the question answered.

I assumed you didn’t know this, hence your “i thought i closed this?“.
I was letting you know.

I’m not so hot on my very old French but ‘revolu’ doesn’t actually mean ‘year’ so much as ‘cycle’ or ‘completed period of time’ (also means orbit I think). A completed year is ‘une annee revolue’ but ‘revolu’ on its own is subject to various translations. ‘Year’ is one way of doing it but it could mean lots of things. Could mean in 700 years time or something (makes sense- ‘in a cycle of a large number related to seven’. Never seen ‘septiesme’ before).

And where the hell does ‘dead ones’ come from? ‘Entres’ is derived from ‘entrer’ the verb ‘to enter’. ‘Sortiront’ can mean ‘leave/ quit’ but can also mean ‘end up’ (I’m speaking from the modern French perspective, not sure now it worked in Nostradmus’ time).

A brief glance at the translation Smerk linked to makes me think it’s very badly translated.
