ok, who's the King of Terror?
In the early 80s, everybody thought that meant Khadafi, and that he would nuke Yew York due to another quatrain. Later, people used this same quatrain to say Nostradamus was talking about 9/11 and Osama.

Avant apres Mars regner par bon heur.
The expression 'du ciel' means 'of/from heaven' or 'of/from the sky'.
No wonder the usual translation associates "A king of terror" with the sky and not with heaven ...
