“MABUS” THE “THIRD ANTICHRIST” REVEALED???
Who is Mabus? Can we identify his real name and use this prophecy to target him before he targets the world?
Back in early June of 2001 I wrote the following passage in a bulletin at my web site (www.hogueprophecy.com). I applied the laws of anagram used by Nostradamus to possibly decode his name as contemporary terrorist operative:
(Beginning of Quote):
According to my interpretation of this enigmatic code name in such books as "Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies" and "Nostradamus: The New Revelations," I posed that Mabus is a North African or Middle Eastern Arab terrorist. I base my theory on Nostradamus' habit of hiding his messages in classical cryptograms. To me, Mabus stands for Thurbo "Majus," the classical Roman name given to the "infernal God of Hannibal" referred to in Quatrain 30 of Century 2 (See pages 177-179 of "Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies"). Majus (Mabus) is the Romanized name for the city God of Carthage in North Africa. The ruins of Carthage, in Tunisia, are but a few miles from what was once the chief headquarters for the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) for much of the 1960s and 70s. Thus any number of shadowy figures of Arab terrorism have spent their time near Thurbo Majus, hiding their true identities under code names beginning with "Abu" (Arabic for "father").
The wide use of Abu fits the prophet's rules of anagram decoding. You can drop one or two letters in a word, for instance, the "m" and "s" from "mABUs" and you get "Abu." The Majus-Mabus link implies those individuals or organizations using that PLO North African base or those organizations and their operatives who are code named "Abu" -- such as Abu Amar, Abu Nidal, or Abu Abbas, etc. -- as candidates for the Third Antichrist.
Beyond the PLO connection, Nostradamus scholar, Bardo Kidogo, uses classical Persian metaphors to unveil Mabus as a modern-day Iranian Ayatollah. He sees Mabus as a cryptogram for Gobrayas Megabyzus who was one of several conspirators who overthrew a Zoroastrian priest (or magus) who had usurped the throne of Persia (Iran) in ancient times. Megabyzus (Mabus) later helped Darius become Emperor of Persia. Later, as a governor of Persian holdings in Europe, Megabyzus showed himself to be a real tyrant with a flair for terrorism. His favorite modus operandi was to attack enemy states from within. I would add that currently leading Ayatollahs in Iran's Islamic fundamentalist leadership are encouraging and financing fringe Palestinian terrorist organizations such as Hamas, as well as the Shi'ite-Lebanese Hizbullah. Hizbullah regularly shells Israeli targets from Lebanon and more than once has nearly triggered a widening Middle Eastern war in the last eight months of the new Intifada. Spokesmen for Hamas have stepped forward and claimed responsibility for the recent Tel Aviv disco bombing.
Mabus could also be currently hiding out in Afghanistan. The Saudi terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, who commands his war of jihad on America and Israel from a base camp in remote Afghanistan, often sees Western reporters phonetically misspell the Arabic pronunciation of his first name. It is "Usama." Thus a true phonetic spelling makes his name a classic fit for Mabus if one follows Nostradamus' rules of wordplay. "Usama" = maaus. Drop the redundant "a" and replace with a single letter allowed by the rule and Insert a "b" = Mabus.
Then there is Saddam Hussein of Iraq. You can find his name matching that of Mabus by using a simple occult word game. First spell m-a-b-u-s backwards; then turn any letters around that can represent a new letter once reversed, such as "b" turned to a "d." Thus, "Mabus" spelled backwards is "Sudam." Use the law of replacing one letter and you get "Sadam." Phonetic redundancies allow you to spell it with an extra "d" and it becomes "Saddam."
Despite the current bellicose climate between Israelis and Palestinians, I still hold that Saddam Hussein of Iraq is the chief candidate for Mabus, to date. He considers himself the protector of extremist Palestinian aspirations -- namely; the deep rooted desire to push Israelis into the sea and take back all Palestinian lands seized in Israel's 1948 war of independence. He has pledged a force of up to 5 million armed Iraqi Mujahadeen poised to assist their Palestinian brethren in the coming conflict. Intelligence reports indicate that Saddam Hussein is rapidly rebuilding his chemical and biological weapons arsenals. He may yet produce atomic bombs -- either smuggled from former Soviet sources or through manufacturing a crude bomb of his own. The most conservative Pentagon estimates say Iraq could build or procure an atomic weapon in less that five years.

AMERICA’S CALAMITOUS WAR AGAINST TERRORISM
If my interpretations from June 2001 are accurate then you will see the perpetrator of the attack on America this September of 2001 banished and annihilated no later than early April of 2002. That conclusion can be derived from an understanding of Quatrain 24 of Century 6, which reads:
Mars and the sceptre (of Jupiter) will meet in conjunction,
A clamitous war under Cancer:
A short time afterward a new king will be anointed,
Who will bring peace to the earth for a long time.
The JPL American Ephemeris sets the next conjunction of Mars and Jupiter for 29 June through 8 July 2002. I would not rule out the drift of predicted events to kick in either as early as April through the summer of 2002.
America is ruled by the sign of Cancer in astrology. The current American president, George W. Bush, is also born under the sign of Cancer. Thus one could decode the second line of the prophecy above to read "a calamitous war under America and its leader." If this is a correct decoding of the line, then America’s war waged by President Bush against terrorism will be a calamity for his country, the American economy, and perhaps bring catastrophe even to himself.
The reason for this interpretation goes beyond the prophecies of Nostradamus. Predictive astrology warns us that the U.S. presidential campaign of 2000 was once again under the shadow of malefic planetary conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn. This conjunction takes place once every 20 years. Every president, ever since 1840, who has campaigned under this conjunction in a year ending with a zero has faced near-fatal harm or death through illness during their presidency. President Bush must weather this dire destiny, with its threat of sudden health crises or assassination, just like President Reagan before him, and John F. Kennedy, Roosevelt, Harding, McKinnley, Garfield, Lincoln, and Harrison. In my own presidential predictions logged over the years I have stated clearly that the current president — whether it would be Gore or Bush — is in danger of dying in office before finishing his term. I began publicly stating this danger since 1998. At that time I declared that we may lose the next president in a crash of Airforce One, or see him die from a sudden and unexpected heart attack.
Let us return to Nostradamus, and Century 6 Quatrain 24. Perhaps by April, June or early July of next year President Bush will be a casualty in this war as well as the fearsome Mabus. The perceived threat to Airforce One and the President from terrorist attack on 11 September — and the continued trouble Vice-President Cheney has with heart disease — unfortunately plays into this prophecy. I still hold a hope that my predictions are wrong about both men.
A HOPEFUL OUTCOME? PEACE ON EARTH FOR A LONG TIME?
I fear that Nostradamus in Century 6 Quatrain 24 points to more tragedy visiting America. Still, there is some hope for a positive outcome and soon. Shortly after July of 2002 a new leader is elected. Perhaps this is a vice-president taking office or even a new president elected in 2004. Time will only tell. The line in Nostradamus’ prophecy that says, “he will bring peace to the earth for a long time” may give us hope for a rapid resolution of what could have been a war lasting twenty-seven years.
The astrological key word “Cancer” and phrase “calamitous war” in Century 6 Quatrain 24 links the prophecy to the notorious “King of terror/July 1999” prophecy of Century 10 Quatrain 72.
Cancer in astrology rules the month of July. I have always believed that this prophecy about a calamitous war under Cancer ending in July of 2002 is an alternative future outcome to a war started by a “king of terror” descending from the skies around or after July of 1999.
Here is the full text of the 1999 prediction, line-by-line, with my inserted notes:
In 1999 and seven months...
(In other words, in the month ruled by Cancer.)
...the great king of terror will descend from the skies.
(That terror descended in hijacked civilian jet airliners crashing into the Pentagon and the “hollow mountains” of the World Trade Center.)
...He will resurrect the king of the Mongols...
(I believe this statement shows a 16th-century man recognizing the assent of China as a superpower to rival its influence in world history to that of its Mongols overlords of the past. If “he” infers the Third Antichrist, then a future conflict between China and America could be over the horizon because of his terrorism.)
...Before and after Mars rules happily.
Most interpreters and amateur Nostradamus scholars overlook the occult significance of the use of Mars in the last line of C10 Q72. They usually translate this to mean “war” because conventional wisdom in occult circles says Mars rules war. Those interpreters are wrong. A more thorough understanding of the symbolic potentials of Mars in predictive astrology could see the final line of this dark and terrifying prediction translated with a silver lining.
In its lower mystical potentials, Mars does stand for war, droughts, famines, the release of suppressed and explosive anger, self-righteous cruelty, heated words, and perhaps in an abstract sense the heating up of the climate from global warming. If you translate the phrase “before and after, Mars rules happily” by inserting the planet’s higher symbolic aspect then “Mars” represents the god of magic and spiritual transformation. Thus if we combine the two prophecies of C10 Q72 and C6 Q24 together, the new millennium may start with a calamitous war against terrorism fought under those of the sign of Cancer (America). In other words “before” we have Mars representing war. Then America could shift the vision of Mars towards its higher aspect sometime after July of 2002. In other words, “after” that time Mars “rules happily” in peace and a political climate of fresh and inspired beginnings.
If this interpretation is correct then we will see a new leader rise to take the reins of America either in mid-term of the current presidency or “shortly afterwards” by 2004. Look to him to bring on the potential of a future ruled by the higher aspect of Mars — long and sustained peace. In this positive translation of Mars the resurrected Mongol who is a metaphor for the rise of China as a superpower is not the murderous Genghis Khan, but his grandson, the more civilized and peace loving Kublai Khan. Rather than China going to war with America as a competitor, they as superpowers find a balance in power that increases prosperity and peace on earth.
I believe what I wrote back in 1997 can yet apply to a hopeful outcome of today’s terrible events. At that time I wrote, “The rise of China as a superpower to match the United States could bring balance and stability to the world. The quality of effort, courage, and skill that leaders of both great nations employ to effect the change from nationalist to internationalist government before and 27 years after 1999 will determine which aspect of “Mars” will “rule” — bloody war or benign enlightenment” (“Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies,” pg. 800.)
We cannot fulfill both these destinies of War or Peace together. The current leader of America may die in the coming struggle, but perhaps a new leader will take his place. Under a new administration, America may back away from its own historic part in its dysfunctional and self-righteous relationship with the Middle and Near East. May America’s current and future leaders rule with the understanding that all people and all things are divine, and deserve our tolerance and love.
We stand at a crossroads on the Cusp of time. One destiny leads to sustained terror and war, the other to understanding and peace. The actions of history’s power players around July of 2002 can create a new world war or set us on a course for a spiritual awakening that brings a millennium of peace.
I pray for peace for all, and a life lived beyond those conditioned habits of history that have doomed each generation up to the present time to be so predictable,

"A King of Terror will come from the skies"
Nostradamus / Century 10, Quatrain 72
Today the speed of events make my words brief and rough hewn in their composition.
In the 1550s, the French prophet, Michel Nostradamus, foresaw a great king of terror descending from the skies. Perhaps that terror, carried on wings of metal, guided by those fighting to die, sliced the World Trade Center and the Pentagon structures like butter the morning of September 11. Seized by this terrible act my mind recalls the many interpretations made from the prophet's cryptic words. I ask your forgiveness today. I only have time to make sweeping conclusions and overviews posted here for those of you who are browsing this site in these first frenetic days and weeks after the terrorist attack on America. I will eventually answer the hundreds of emails pouring in asking for my input with more detailed references to the prophecies in question.
I have issued many warnings based on my understanding of Nostradamus over the past 16 years, and many of you have heard them on television and radio or read them in my nine published books. Now a number of these observations take on the magic of prescience. They fall from the delicate sky of a September morn, arriving with the thunderclap of falling skyscrapers. This is some of what I understand is in the prophecies of Nostradamus concerning present and near future events. He spoke of a new type of world war to come; one using surprise and ambush. A rogue leader from the Mideast will trigger it. He is a terrorist, code named in the prophecies as "Mabus" or the "Third Antichrist." This man will be one of the first to fall in his war. He could become a symbolic martyr for terrorists who will soak the world with blood for 27 years. Nostradamus spoke of the great new city made of high "hollow mountains" near the garden of the world. The state of New Jersey, from whose shore one can view the great hollow mountains of New York City, is known as “The Garden State.” In two of Nostradamus’ prophecies a thing his 16-century mind can only call “it” cuts a path to these hollow mountains. They are then seized and boiled in a cauldron (for the actual text of Century 6, Quatrain 97 and Century 10, Quatrain 49 please consult my book Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies. Over four centuries ago, Nostradamus may have seen those great hollow mountains hit by a huge, "scattered flame." He implied that the flame could not be put out and the smoke and debris would rise and ferment in boiling clouds, as if they were “plunged in a vat.”
What is next for us? If my interpretations are correct we will soon know who the perpetrator — this Third Antichrist — is. If “Mabus” stands as an anagram for Saddam Hussein or Usama Bin Laden or someone we have yet to uncover, look for his death very soon in a retaliatory attack. If a more balanced American foreign policy in Mideast affairs is not forthcoming after the Antichrist falls, then the war is only beginning. America and her allies will endure almost thirty years of terror bombings and catastrophic loss of life.
More articles about the attack on New York and its future consequences will appear in essays in the coming days and weeks in the Hogue Prophecy Bulletins, archived on this site (see above link). For now I invite you to read my recently archived Hogue Prophecy Bulletin on "Who Will Be Mabus?" I would like to add that there are a number of spurious and bogus prophecies of Nostradamus surfacing concerning “York’s” destruction, etc. These frauds are mixing lines out of context from several authentic Nostradamus quatrains with phrases that are complete fabrications. Do not believe them. A bulletin on the REAL quatrains that might concern the New York and Pentagon attack will be forthcoming.
My mailing list is down and I am being swamped by interview negotiations so I ask those of you on my mailing list and every one else to visit the Archives until further notice. There I will post updates and articles when I can. Those of you who would like to be on the mailing list , please click here. I will get back to you as soon as I have a new mailing list on line.
Also look for me to appear on a number of national radio and television shows to make comments in the coming weeks. If you miss it I am sure the show will be archived. Stay tuned also for an appearance on Dreamland (http://www.unknowncountry.com/) this Saturday (9/15) 6-8 PM Pacific, and also this Sunday (9/16) at 6-7 PM Pacific on Talk Radio’s “Strange Universe” with David Rubin.
