Nostradamus C4 Q49: The undead linger as the skies burn.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This and several of the surrounding verses have a common link through anagrams for reptiles.

 Both C4 Q48 and C4 Q51 actually contain that anagram and the latter of the two also has an anagram for vipers.

In this current verse there is serpens (ps ne ſer) while C4 Q47 has iguanians and C4 Q46 refers to Serpentaria. In addition three of the seven anagrams for vipers occur in nearby verses (C4 Q36, Q51 and Q56).

This continuity is one more factor that makes C4 Q45 such a pivotal verse because it brings unity to the theme of clones created out of extinct animal parts and the references to dinosaurs, pleiosaurs and pterosaurs found in other verses.

But there is another anagram that immediately generates interest for it is Nostredame ( endra teſmo) which is Nostradamus real name.   aAnd that name is validated as being deliberate, by its being in total keeping with the tone of the text.

 Nostredame is the one who for a long time has not been heard and as he says in C3 Q94, after 500 years there will come one person who will inform people of that age, as to what each and every verse was intended to convey.

And the timing set by the tone of the current verse's text is when objects from the heavens have come far, i.e. when the Earth receives a bombardment of asteroids such as fire from the sky in numbers not experienced since the time of the end of the dinosaurs.
