Nostradamus can we AGREE on the following, if not why not?
Nostie's letter to Henry he specifies the timespan of the beginning of
the world: between Adam to Jesus at two SEPARATE locations: are about
4200 years and 4750 years!
1. Do we Agree true or does Nostradamus mean something else?
Nostradamus' own words to Henry ae below:
---------------------------------------------
First time span:
....that the first man, Adam, came 1,242 years before Noah ( not
reckoning by such Gentile calculations as Varro used, but simply by
the
Holy Scriptures, as best my weak understanding and astronomical
calculations can interpret them.) About 1,080 years after Noah and the
universal flood came Abraham, who, according to some, was a first-rate
astrologer and invented the Chaldean alphabet. About 515 or 516 years
later came Moses, and from his time to that of David about 570 years
elapsed. From the time of David to that of out Savior and Redeemer,
Jesus
Christ, born of the unique Virgin, 1,350 year elapsed, according to
some
chronographs. Some may object that this calculation cannot be true,
because it differs from that of Eusebius.
1242+1080+515+570+1350= 4757years?
-----------------------------------
Second Time Span:
Anyhow, I count the years from the creation of the world to the birth
of
Noah as 1,506, and from the birth of Noah to the completion of the
Ark, at
the time of the universal deluge, as 600 ( let the years be solar, or
lunar, or a mixture of the ten ) I hold that the Sacred Scriptures use
solar years. And at the end of these 600 years, Noah enetered the Ark
to
be saved from the deluge. This deluge was universal, and lasted one
year
and two months. And 295 years elapsed from the end of the flood to the
birth of Abraham, and 100 from then till the birth of Isaac. And 60
years
later Jacob was born. 130 years elapsed between the time he entered
Egypt
and the time he came out. Between the entry of Jacob into Egypt and
the
exodus, 430 years passed. From the exodus to the building of the
Temple by
Solomon in the fourth year of his reign, 480 yearss. According ot the
calculations of the Sacred Writings, it was 490 years from the
building of
the Temple to the time of Jesus Christ. Thus, this calculation of
mine,
collected from the holy writ, comes to about 4,173 years and 8 months,
more or less. Because there is such a diversity of sects, I will not
go
beyond Jesus Christ.
I'm not getting exactly the 4,173 years
1506+600+295+100+60+130+430+480+490 = 4091 years?
