Bible prophecy is superior in many ways. Unlike astrological predictions, it allows for personal free will. Hence, nobody is a victim of fate. (Deuteronomy 30:19) Writings such as those of Nostradamus are morally void, and they cover this void with mystery and sensationalism. But Bible prophecy has a firm moral basis. It explains why God is going to do as he has purposed. (2 Chronicles 36:15) And Jehovah’s prophecies never fail, for “God . . . cannot lie.” (Titus 1:2) Thus, individuals guided by God’s Word live enlightened, purposeful, and happy lives without squandering their precious time and resources on futile pursuits.
Fortune-tellers, like Nostradamus, often use ambiguous words that can be taken in many different ways. This is done to protect themselves from embarrassment when their predictions fail.

Yes of course he was a real person
Michel de Nostredame (December 14, 1503 – July 2, 1566), usually Latinized to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous world-wide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties, the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted an almost cult following. His many enthusiasts, as well as the popular press, credit him with predicting numerous major world events. In contrast, most of the academic sources listed below maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus' quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power. Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus' quatrains specifically enough to allow a clear identification of any event in advance. Nevertheless, interest in the work of this prominent figure of the French Renaissance is still considerable, especially in the media and in popular culture, and the prophecies have in some cases been assimilated to the results of applying the alleged Bible Code, as well as to other purported prophetic works.

You mean Nostradamus? He was a real person, born on 1503—66. A French astrologer and physician, whose real name was Michel de Nostredame. He is reputed to have effected remarkable cures during outbreaks of the plague in S France. His rhymed prophecies under the title Centuries (1555) gained him the favor of the French court. Obscure and symbolic, the predictions have been subject to many interpretations.
thanks!
hope this would help you..

Nostrodamus was a real person. He was a French physician and astrologer, living in the 16th century. He wrote a book of prophesies in rhymed quatrains. Because of the way he wrote them, these prophesies ar open to wide speculation, and have been interpreted to certain historical events, usually after the event when the wording can be manipulated to match the facts.

Nostradamus is a French fortune - teller who lived in the 1500s and who used to work in the court of the French Royal Family. He wrote several prophecies that seemed to have predicted the future, although skeptics have said they are so vague they can be applied to virtually any world event.

Yes quite real. Michel De Nostradame or Nostradamus 1503-1566.
Doctor, scholar, astrologer.
Most of his prophecies are based on astrology.
His work includes “The prophecies” in rhymed quatrains, “Almanacs” the most popular of his books.
His predictions in their majority have been fulfilled pending a number of them related to our times.

gives you more info. I hope it helps.
P.S.
Nostradamus did not learn prophecy from the Comte de St. Germain, because St.Germain--a real person-- was born 200 years after Nostradamus.
