> Nostradamus: Predictions for the Past, Present and Future
> Is it possible to see into the future? Many believe that a man
> named Michel de Nostradamus could. His predictions of the future have
> mystified scholars for over four hundred years. Nostradamus made over one
> thousand predictions and historians say that over half of them have already
> come true. The most startling of his predictions deal with the coming of
> three anti-Christs (Guentte). My paper will focus on these prophecies made
> by Michel de Nostradamus. If his predictions of the past are accurate, then
> his predictions for the future may also come true.
>
> In order to establish Nostradamus' credibility, it is important
> to know facts concerning his actual life.
>
> Michel de Nostradame -who later latinized his name to Nostradamus- was born
> in 1503 in St. Remy de Provence, France. His family was Jewish but
> converted to
> Christianity, and the young Michel was brought up as a Catholic
> (Reader's Digest 511). Being a brilliant student, Michel learned classical
> languages, mathematics, and astrology from his grandfather. Later he
> decided to pursue medicine and enrolled at the University of Montpellier
> (Time Life 16). As a skilled physician, he became famous for his amazing
> success in treating victims of a deadly plague (Reader's Digest 511).
>
> Beginning in 1532, Nostradamus enjoyed three years of happiness. During this
> time he got married and had children, but the terrible plague that
> Nostradamus himself had helped to fight returned killing his wife and
> children (Time Life 17). Deeply depressed, Nostradamus spent the next six
> years wandering around France and Italy. This is
> when he began to notice and take account of his strange prophetic gifts
> (Time Life 17). While wandering through Italy, Nostradamus encountered a
> group of Franciscan monks. Standing aside to let them pass Nostradamus
> suddenly exclaimed and threw himself on his knees,
> bowing his head and clutching at the garment of one of the monks. The monk,
> named Felice Peretti, was a former swine herder of very lowly birth. When
> asked why he had done such a silly act, Nostradamus replied, "I must yield
> myself and bow before his Holiness." Nineteen years after the death of
> Nostradamus, Peretti became Pope Sixtus V (Randi 25).
>
> Many such stories arose as testimony to Nostradamus' alleged
> second sight. In one account, the visionary was challenged by a
> skeptic, the Seigneur de Florinville, while staying at his chateau in the
> province of Lorraine (Time Life 17). Nostradamus was shown two suckling
> pigs, one black, the other white. Florinville then asked Nostradamus to
> predict which they would eat that night for supper. Nostradamus replied
> they would eat the black pig. Florinville then told the cook to prepare the
> white pig. That evening at dinner, Nostradamus was again asked which pig
> they were eating, and again he replied the black one. Florinville
> triumphantly asked the cook to tell which pig it was that they were eating.
> The
> cook said that while preparing the white pig a tamed wolf cub had wandered
> into the kitchen and devoured it. The cook then slaughtered the remaining
> black pig and prepared it for the dinner (Randi 26).
>
> In 1547, Nostradamus finally settled in the small town of Salon. There he
> remarried and began to compose prophecies, drawing on his accumulated
> knowledge and books on astrology and magic (Time Life 18). In 1555,
> Nostradamus published the first of ten books, all entitled Centuries. Each
> volume contained 100 predictions written in four line verses known as
> quatrains. He wrote in his native French
> but to protect himself from the superstitious which hunters of the day, he
> confused the verse with Latin, Greek, and even anagrams (Guentte). The
> following predictions and interpretations are based on the English
> translation of Nostradamus' prophecies.
>
> Throughout Nostradamus' quatrains he speaks of three powerful and tyrannical
> leaders that he calls anti-Christs. He said they would lead their people
> through reigns of terror after first seducing them with promises of
> greatness (Guentte). Napoleon is thought to have been the first of these
> anti-Christs. Of Napoleon's rise to power and years as Emperor Nostradamus
> wrote:
>
> > An Emperor shall be born near Italy.
> > Who shall cost the Empire dear,
> > They shall say, with what people he keeps company
> > He shall be found less a Prince than a butcher.
>
> Napoleon, who was considered a butcher even by his supporters, certainly
> cost the Empire dearly in both manpower and political strength (Roberts
> 29).
>
> > From a simple soldier he will rise to the empire,
> > From the short robe he will attain the long.
> > Great swarms of bees shall arise.
>
> After becoming Emperor, Napoleon adopted the beehive as his imperial crest
> (Ward 297). Some scholars say that Nostradamus was referring to Napoleon's
> destruction of Moscow when he wrote:
>
> > A great troop shall come through Russia.
> > The destroyer shall ruin a city.
>
> Napoleon's forces drove too far and got trapped in the Russian winter
> (Guentte). The following verse resembles what could have been Napoleon's
> retreat across the icy part of Russia.
>
> > The rear guard will make defense.
> > The exhausted ones will die in the white territory.
> (Guentte)
>
> Nostradamus made other predictions of Napoleon's fate:
>
> > The great Empire will soon be exchanged for a small
> place.
> > Which will soon begin to grow.
> > A small place of tiny area in the middle of which
> > He will come to lay down his scepter. (Reader's Digest
> 513)
>
> > The captive prince, conquered, is sent to Elba;
> > He will sail across the Gulf of Genoa to Marseilles.
> > By a great effort of the foreign forces he is overcome,
> > Though he escaped the fire, his bees yield blood by the
> barrel. (Ward 311)
>
> Napoleon was exiled to the small island of Elba but escaped for 100 days.
> After a defeat at Waterloo he relinquished all power for exile on tiny St.
> Helena (Reader's Digest 513).
>
> The second anti-Christ Nostradamus wrote about was "a man stained with
> murder...the great enemy of the human race...one who was worse than any who
> had gone before...bloody and inhuman." Experts are in agreement that the
> sixteenth century prophet was referring to Adolf Hitler (Guentte).
>
> > Out of the deepest part of the west of Europe,
> > From poor people a young child shall be born,
> > Who with his tongue shall seduce many people,
> > His fame shall increase in the Eastern Kingdom.
>
> Adolf Hitler, born in Austria of poor parents, with his knowledge of mob
> psychology and powers of speech, was successful in seducing many people ,
> even in the Eastern Empire of Japan (Roberts 88). In some quatrains
> Nostradamus refers to Hitler as the child or sometimes
> captain of Germany. Here are two examples:
>
> > He shall come to tyrannize the land.
> > He shall raise up a hatred that had long been dormant.
> > The child of Germany observes no law.
> > Cries, and tears, fire, blood, and battle.
>
> > A captain of Germany shall come to yield himself by false hope,
> > So that his revolt shall cause great bloodshed. (Guentte)
>
> All of these images certainly describe Adolf Hitler. After seducing his
> people, Hitler ignored all treaties and began a massive invasion of Europe
> (Guentte). In the following verse, some experts say that Nostradamus
> actually referred to Hitler by name but missed by one letter.
>
> > Beasts wild with hunger will cross the rivers
> > The greater part of the battlefield will be against
> Hister.
>
> Finally, Nostradamus sums up Hitler's life and even predicts the factthat
> his death in Berlin in 1945 would never be satisfactorily confirmed:
>
> > Near the Rhine from the Austrian mountains
> > Will be born a great man of the people, come too late.
> > A man who will defend Poland and Hungary
> > And whose fate will never be certain (Reader's Digest 515).
>
> According to Nostradamus, the first two anti-Christs were
> extremely evil, and history has shown this to be so; however,
> Nostradamus speaks of a third anti-Christ who is more hideous than all the
> others combined. Some say Sadaam Hussein, the dictator from Iraq, could be
> this evil tyrant. Others say that he has not yet appeared. What does
> Nostradamus say about this third anti-Christ?
>
> First, Nostradamus tells us he will come from the Middle East.
>
> > Out of the country of Greater Arabia
> > Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed...
> > He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.
> > He will be the terror of mankind.
> > Never more horror.
>
> Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces
> on an invasion through Europe. This invasion will start a third world war
> that will be far worse than all the other wars put together (Guentte).
> When will all this take place? In one quatrain Nostradamus gives us an
> exact date in which the war will be well under way.
>
> > In the year 1999 and seven months
> > From the sky will come the great King of Terror.
> > He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols;
> > Before and after war reigns.
>
> Nostradamus predicts the war will begin shortly before the year 1999
> (Roberts 191). He also tells us how long the war will last.
>
> > The war will last seven and twenty years. (Guentte)
> >
> Nostradamus says that the war will be so terrible that the world will come
> face to face with final annihilation. Here, he implies that the war might
> involve some kind of horrible weapon, possibly nuclear. Nostradamus tells
> what the first target will be.
>
> > The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
> > Fire approaches the great new city.
> >
> In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of
> America near forty-five degrees latitude. Experts agree this could only be
> New York.
>
> > By fire he will destroy their city,
> > A cold and cruel heart,
> > Blood will pour,
> > Mercy to none. (Guentte)
>
> Although Nostradamus 's predictions for our future sound
> frightening he does give us some hope by telling us how this third world war
> will end. He says it will end as a result of an unexpected alliance.
>
> > When those of the Northern Pole are united,
> > In the East will be great fear and dread...
> > One day the two great leaders will be friends;
> > Their great powers will be seen to grow.
> > The New Land will be at the height of its power:
> > To the man of blood the number is reported.
>
> The new land was a common term used by Nostradamus to refer to what we now
> call America. The countries of the northern pole could be Russia and the
> United States. We have recently seen the breakdown of Communism in Russia
> and an increasing friendship between Russia and the U.S. (Reader's Digest
> 515).
>
> Was Nostradamus a fraud or a prophet? There are some who say that the
> seeming accuracy of his quatrains are a result of their facile
> interpretations (Guentte). Still, more than four hundred books and essays
> about his prophecies have been published since his death in 1566, along with
> a great number of articles and other commentaries, in numerous languages
> (Randi 5). Even skeptics pay careful attention to Nostradamus' predictions
> of the three anti-Christs. If Nostradamus truly predicted Napoleon and
> Hitler we should take heed of his words about the future. Perhaps we can
> prevent the dismal fate Nostradamus has predicted (Guentte).
