Nostradamus, the famous French astrologer and seer, has captivated audiences for centuries with his prophecies. His book, “Les Propheties,” published in 1555, claimed to accurately predict various historical events, some of which were yet to come. But were his predictions based on factual information or mere speculation?
It is important to note that Nostradamus’s prophecies were heavily critiqued for their authenticity. Researchers found that a significant portion of “Les Propheties” consisted of paraphrases of ancient end-of-the-world prophecies, primarily derived from the Bible, with additional references to projected historical events. Despite this, there are some predictions that continue to intrigue us.
The “City of God” and the Future of Israel
Nostradamus refers to a Third World War closely linked to a conflict that would unfold in what he called the “City of God.” Considering the historical context of Nostradamus’s time, it becomes evident that he was referring to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. Given the ongoing attacks on Israel by the Islamist group Hamas, many find Nostradamus’s words eerily prophetic.
According to Nostradamus, after a conflict in the “City of God,” a great leader will surrender, ultimately leading to the eruption of the Third World War. His quatrains state:
“In the ‘City of God,’ there will be a powerful thunder. Two brothers torn apart by chaos, while the city withstands. The great leader will surrender. The third great war will begin when the great city is burning.”
Glimpses into the Future: War and the Arrival of a Third Antichrist
Nostradamus also predicted a monumental battle that would arise in 2023, with his quatrains mentioning:
“Seven months of Great War, people dying due to wicked deeds. Rouen, Evreux will not fall into the hands of the king.”
Interestingly, Nostradamus’s prophecies also mention the emergence of a third Antichrist in the year 2023. According to his predictions, the first two Antichrists were represented by Napoleon and Hitler. He described the third Antichrist in the following words:
“The Antichrist will soon destroy the three. His war will last twenty-seven years. The unbelievers will be dead, captives, or exiled. With blood, human bodies, water, and red hail covering the earth.”
It’s crucial to approach these prophecies with caution, as their accuracy remains uncertain. However, they undeniably continue to captivate and concern many individuals. Only time will reveal the true nature of Nostradamus’s predictions and whether they hold any significance for our future.
