Century 10, Quatrain 74:
The year 7 of the great number accomplished,
It will appear at the time of the games of hecatombe(slaughter)
Not far from the age of the great millennium,
When the dead will come out of their graves.
The great number accomplished...2000...the year 7 of that number(near the great millennium)...2007. Hecatombe was an event which occurred on the 4th day of the Olympic games of ancient Greece in Athens. On that day 100 cattle were slaughtered and sacrificed to the gods and everyone ate free BBQ. Sporting events held on that day included wrestling and boxing. This year from Sept. 18-23 the World Olympic Wrestling Championships will be held in Baku("God"),Azerbaijan. Notably as well, Rosh HaShannah(Feast of Trumpets) begins on Sept. 12 and culminates on Yom Kippur(the holiest Jewish day), Sept. 22. Many Jews believe the Messiah(Moshiach) will return and the dead will rise during this time. Could Nostradamus have seen the rapture occur on Yom Kippur, 2007?

The question is not whether Nostradamus predicted it but whether any of Nostradamus' predictions came true!
In any case, when I checked the quatrain you quoted, the version I read is different:
"The year of the great seventh number accomplished"
this doesn't look so much like 2007, does it?
And the wrestling championships are not the Olympic Championships but the FILA Senior World Championships - nothing to do with the Olympics.
So I think we're still safe.

I niether have the time, or the will to read that.
This is what i know.
The Rapture will not happen ever.
Nobody can predict the end of the world.
You obviously thought way to much about that.
Sell the book for the 25 cents you can get for it.

I imagine that one could nearly anything could be coaxed out of such a vague and inane piece of writing. Nostradamus was driven out of his gourd by mercury poisoning and wrote an enormous amount of nonsense. Humans, troubled by the inevitability of their own deaths, desperate for answers, look at this lunatic's ramblings and try to see the future in it.

How many times, and in how many ways, can I say the rapture, as it is presently taught, is a Jesuit lie to take heat off the pope, because all the reformers pointed to him as the antichrist?
Now, stop reading Nostradamus, and go read something that might really educate you.
