Nostradamus?

Question

My wife bought me a video (VHS) showing the predictions of Nostradamus. The conclusion that, in the future, there will be a Third World War...

Does anyone have any idea as to when this war is occure?

Answer 1

We're in the war right now. It's called the "anti-intellectual war" that you yourself are participating in, where a swarm of escaped lunatics post an ever-increasing raging river of insanely dumb questions and other brilliant distractions meant to suck in even the most intelligent of people so that there is nothing left in the world but complete ignorance and idiocy. I myself am ironically sucked into it now - yes, idiocy is an insidious magnet too hard to resist.

However, before the absolute state of complete ignorance and idiocy can be achieved by nihilist relativist mysticists and ufo-chasers like yourselves, real constructive production in society will assuredly dwindle to the point of sinking the economy and environment into utter ruin. Should we survive the idiocy, this will then cause a new cycle of anger and resentment towards loonies who had caused the destruction in the first place and people like you will be either put away or slaughtered so that we can rebuild the economy and environment anew. We may call this new future age the "Anti-Dumbdumb Neo-Renaissance".

Yes, my smart friends, do not despair. Hold on. The future is bright.

Answer 2

Though I knew what you were referring to, it took me a long time to find the right quatrains on the web. The link below gives them, in order, ALL of them, that concern WW III.

Nostradamus completed a total of 942 quatrains which he organized into Centuries - groups of 100 quatrains (one Century only had 42 quatrains). A quatrain is simply a poem with 4 lines.
Some of the quatrains are so ambiguous that anyone could put an intepretation to them and be right. Others, oddly enough, are very straight forward, and there is no question exactly what is meant.
The ones you are asking about appear to already have begun with the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York.
I leave it to you to decide for yourself whther this was prophecy, or the ramblings of a very imaginative mind.

Answer 3

He must have had a bible. the bible predicts a 3rd world war.
Read Matthew 24: they asked Jesus to show them the signs we are in the last days.
One was a world war and that was the beginning of times of distress. Or the beginning of the last days.
Matthew 24:21 Their would be a great tribulation worst than the world had even seen in fact unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved alive.
ONly a nuclear bomb would destory all flesh off this earth.
So we are living in the last days. Matthew 24:36 says we don't know the day or the hour. But matthew 24:34 tells us the time period, during the generation that saw the world wars. verse 38 says it will be like the days of Noah.
They didn't believe it until it started raining.

Answer 4

I believe the seeds of a third world war are being planted right now .As to Nostradamus and the exact time of the beginning of the Third World War ,he is too vague and inaccurate. If someone like Nostradamus knew or knows the exact date of WWIII and does not express himself then they are the greatest evil on earth. Of course whether we listen to anyone or not can affect our response and responsibility of the so-called psychics of doom sayers.

Answer 5

Nostradamus wrote in such a language that the quatranes can be interpreted to mean what you want. Third world war? When do we start measuring? At his time the known world was constantly at war. He had no notion of war as we can see it. It is a fact that most of his predictions had to be interpreted several times by various scholars to get to an answer that fit something that had already happened. Who would the war be with. No on is capable of taking on the U.S. or Britain in an all out war. It is folly to believe in these characters. The last prediction I heard was that nuclear war would start in ... are you ready?

Answer 6

He was way to vague to make any solid facts. Stacey R... the Bible code is just as bad. According to the codes there were two dates for the end of the world, both of which have already past. Like many books of prophesy we see what we want to see. The Maya used an overlapping calender system, so that when one calendar was ending another had already started. They used the phases of the moon and the planet Venus to calculate their system.

Answer 7

Nostradamus didn't get anything else right, why would you expect him to be right about WW III?

Have you actually READ any of Nostradamus verse? They are written in much the same way horoscopes are written, so that there will ALWAYS be some detail for the willing to grab onto and believe prescient...

From the "Baptisme de Antoine", 1523:

"Vir vadum adveho of dimidium a centuries aevum Opportunus vadum is exsisto ,
tamen timidus ut testis of Jehovah ero offensio super
suus ianua " absum ", is cries , " absum! "

"A man shall come of half a centuries age
Fit shall he be, but fearful that the witnesses
Of Jehovah will be knocking upon his door
"Be gone", he cries, "Be gone!"

Did Nostradamus predict your feelings towards Jehovah's Witnesses?

Answer 8

We very well could be in the beginning of it right now, or not. Who can really tell........

Answer 9

Well I don't know if you know anything about the mayan/aztec calendar or the Bible code, but the last day is supposed to happen december 22, 2012
