It is necessary to tell about the negative consequences of the "Golden age" – it is overpopulation. In 1930 year the population of the world was estimated at roughly 2 billion people, by the beginning of the 21 century it has grown 3 times. Such a significant increase in population in less than 100 years, is a consequence improve their lives, increase fertility and life expectancy. However, such a rapid population growth is a disaster for the planet. Rapidly developing civilization like a cancer that sucks out of the land of all that is possible. Wars, epidemics, all kinds of natural disasters are kind of immunity of the planet from overpopulation.
In the 4th line of the quatrain, after the "Golden age", followed by the word "death". Apparently, it is about Stalin. "The new king" after him was Khrushchev. "Big scandal" may mean censure and condemnation Stalin's personality cult. The number of the quatrain 9.17 explicitly specify the year of Revolution, 1917, through which came the Golden age.
Quatrain 3.94 Admiration by the century
De cinq cens ans plus compte l'on tiendra,
Celuy qu'estoit l'ornement de son temps:
Puis à vn coup grande clarté donrra,
Que par ce siecle les rendra trescontens.
In 500 years during which more will take into account,
The one who was the ornament of his era:
Then with a shock great clarity he will give,
Which by this century will bring them great contentment.
In this prophecy Nostradamus calls the Russian revolution a coup. The reference in 500 years, apparently, is specified approximately. Many do not feel that living in a Golden age because each person is in life their problems and troubles. But as they say, you will not know happiness until you lose it. All will end overnight and the chaos of world war 3. It predicted in quatrains: 9.31, 1.55, 4.67.
Quatrain 5.41 Renewing the Golden age
Nay sous les vmbres & iournee nocturne
Sera en regne & bonte souueraine,
Fera renaistre son sang de l'antique verne,
Renouuellant siecle d'or pour l'airain.
Born in the shadows and a night day,
He will be sovereign in realm and goodness:
He will cause his blood to rise again in the ancient urn,
Renewing the age of gold for that of brass.
The first line is associated with St. Petersburg (place of birth) and its white nights (night day).
