NOSTRADAMUS [II.79]
The man with curly, black beard will subdue the cruel and proud nation
through skill. The great CHIREN will take from afar all those captured by
the Turkish banner.
"Chiren" is repeatedly mentioned as a hero in the prophecies. Elsewhere
he has been mentioned as the French Christian King of the world. Is Chiren
the present French President Chiraq ? Or maybe the Canadian (french)
President Cheretien as one of the visitors to this site suggested. Here it
appears that Chiren will rescue those captured earlier by Turkish forces.
Some say that "Chiren" is the same person who is the "awaited one" - the
second coming of Jesus who will kill the Anti-Christ. One physical description
of the future king and emperor, provided by the seventeenth-century
commentator David Poreaus, states that he will have a large forehead,
dark eyes, brown hair, and a hawk nose (an accurate description of French
President Jacques Chirac). He is "Huge, the brown-haired, the irresistible"
to the Irish prophet St. Columbkille.
