There were many foreseers of the future. They were all very vague about it. Nostradamus is Western Cultures' most known fortune tellers.
But anyone could say there will be a great war, big rocks will fall from the sky, and a scrub or clump of shrubs will send millions to die over a depleted natural resource.
Whether it is believed or not is the mark of a great clairvoyant. And the problem with Nostradamus is that events were attributed to his writings AFTER they happened, not before.

There have been many people who have made predictions about events taking place around the world. Nostradamus was one, Edgar Casey was another. Now Shirley MacLaine seems to be checking in to that department as well!

Jesus!
Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not disturbed; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these things are the beginning of sorrows.
14 And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. 15 "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee upon the mountains. 17 Let the one on the housetop not go down to take the things out of his house. 18 And let the one in the field not turn back to take his clothes. 19 But woe to those women who are pregnant, and to the women nursing a baby in those days! 20 But pray that your flight may not take place in winter, nor on the Sabbath. 21 For then there shall be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor by any means shall be. 22 And unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days will be cut short. 23 Then if someone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you in advance. 26 Therefore if they should say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or 'Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes out from the east and flashes to the west, so shall also be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 For wherever the carcass may be, there the eagles will be gathered together. 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light; and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

You listed 30 prophecies, provide or take a a pair. as an example 3 billion Christians have lived considering 30 CE (likely better, yet let's furnish you with the convenience of the doubt). If my math is ideal, it truly is .000001% of the Christian inhabitants who've engaged in prophesying end circumstances. Heck, you understand what? i am going to furnish you with yet another hundred unknowns, 'reason it truly is purely the kinda guy i'm. .000004% ... wow. it truly is like quite a few different one. No ask your self it truly is one of those issue for you.
