Nostradamus gives us a rare chance to see our future so we can change it. He, through Dolores, is speaking from HIS time to OUR time. He has come to warn us about where and how we must concentrate our energies during the next several years in order to curtail some of the most disastrous events in our future. He also wants to encourage us and says' "You are not totally helpless! You each have more control over circumstances of your future than you think."
