Creation of New Babylon, A Powerful New Nation and Beacon of the World
Abbot Joachim Merlin (concerning the future French pontiff) ~
He will be the joy of God's elect. This angelic pope will preach the gospel in every country. Through his zeal and solicitude the Greek Church shall be forever reunited to the Catholic Church. This holy Pope shall be both pastor and reformer. Through him the East and West shall be in everlasting concord. The city of Babylon shall then be the head and guide of the world.
Nostradamus, Epistle to Henry II ~
In the spring there will be omens, and thereafter extreme changes, reversals of realms and mighty earthquakes. These will be accompanied by the procreation of the new Babylon, miserable daughter enlarged by the abomination of the first holocaust. It will last for only seventy-three years and seven months.
September 27, 2023: Babylon the Great, a nation that will include the entirety of Iraq, will become the greatest power in the Middle East and one of the greatest nations in the entire world. At that time the French monarch and Holy Roman emperor, Henry V, and the great French pontiff, Pastor angelicus, will give their full support to Babylon and treat it as a beacon of the world.
The spirit of Princess Diana, now the goddess of the Moon, will also lend Iraq her supernatural support and many temples to Diana will be built there. She will also appear through her mortal vessel on Earth, Selene (also Princess Selene). "Selin" is the female side of "Chyren selin": Chyren being Henryc (Henrik), the future Henry V, and Selin being Selene, goddess of the Moon.
Political and economic powerhouse, center for the arts, and hub of the entertainment world and greatest tourist attraction on the planet, Babylon will build a vast military machine, create a nuclear arsenal in secret, and, much later in the future, will attempt to impose its will on the inhabitants of earth.
By that time it will be ruled to it detriment by a beautiful female, the daughter of the previous dictator who will either be executed or assassinated. Nostradamus mentions her in one quatrain as an "adulterous woman" who will be in power when an infamous and wicked king enters with the full force and fury of his military machine and tears away her "wings" during an attack that destroys Iraq for all time. In another quatrain she is "the daughter of Babylon," represented as miserable and sad, and whose father will have been persecuted and put to death.
It is important not to confuse her with "the Whore of Babylon" found in the Book of Revelation ... and the reason will be clear in the next paragraph. But she will be a forerunner of the future Biblical character, an archetype. The fiery destruction of Sadr City eighty years earlier will be brought into remembrance, and Babylon and its female leader will be destroyed utterly in a great ball of nuclear fire and smoke.
This New Babylon will last for 73 years and 7 months, facing total destruction for all time in February 2123 by a future Holy Roman Emperor: Hercules, King of Rome and Annemarc. France will technically no longer exist after Henry V's death as it will merge with Belgium and become a New Gaul. That is why Henry is called "the last king of France." But Henry's blood will run through the veins of his descendants, including this 22nd Century Gallic Roman emperor identified as "Hercules."
Nostradamus, Epistle to Henry II ~
One will proceed who shall deliver the people of the world from a benevolent slavery to which they voluntarily submitted; putting himself under the protection of Mars, depriving Jupiter of all honors and dignities, establishing himself in the free city seated in a smaller Mesopotamia. Then the impurities and abominations, with a great shame, will be brought out and manifested in the shadows of the veiled light.
The destroyed New Babylon will be replaced by yet another, a "free city" located in a "smaller Mesopotamia" in Europe ... a nation with wide open ports to the Mediterranean Sea, the Seine River system and the English Channel. Thus it will most likely thrive in the New Gaul at the center of the great empire known as Annemarc.
I concur with what commentator John Hogue believed in 1997 ... that it may be an experimental spiritual city located in Paris that will be an affront to mainstream Christian values. Another potential candidate might be the city of Marseilles.

Ultimately, such a city, spiritual, cultural, and economic, can only end up being the one mentioned in the Book of Revelation: Mystery, Babylon, the Babylon of the Mystery religions. Time and again, its impurities and abominations will be revealed, yet efforts will be made to bring about its rehabilitation until finally all is lost. Since its influence will be felt worldwide, we could even call it "Mega-Babylon" but, unlike its failed predecessor in Iraq, it will exist for over 700 years until AD 2826 ... very close to the end of human history in AD 2827.
Once again, as she had been at the formation of Annemarc and the procreation of New Babylon during the reign of Henry V, the goddess Diana will be patroness to the Gallic Babylon and its spiritual leader when a huge temple dedicated to her will be built in the city center. In the mortal forms of Selene and, at times, as Vesta, she will sit on a throne installed within the temple. There also will be occasional consultations between her and Hercules, King of Rome, Babylon, and Annemarc, and his queen, and their descendants.
However, as time passes the decadence that will take root and grow within the final Babylon will sour her love for the city and its people. She will visit it less and less until such time that she will finally withdraw to Heaven, never again to return.
It will be at this time that the next to the last queen to rule over Mystery, Babylon will reign as a good and virtuous leader and reformer, perhaps the one found in Revelation 12 as the woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, wearing a crown of twelve stars. Then, after her flight into the wilderness to escape the persecutions of the Dragon, will come the final leader, "the Whore of Babylon."
