In order to establish Nostradamus' credibility, it is important to know facts concerning his actual life. Michel de Nostradame -who later latinized his name to Nostradamus- was born in 1503 in St. Remy de Provence, France. His family was Jewish but converted to Christianity, and the young Michel was brought up as a Catholic (Reader's Digest 511). Being a brilliant student, Michel learned classical languages, mathematics, and astrology from his grandfather. Later he decided to pursue medicine and enrolled at the University of Montpellier (Time Life 16). As a skilled physician, he became famous for his amazing success in treating victims of a deadly plague (Reader's Digest 511).
Was Nostradamus a fraud or a prophet? There are some who say that the seeming accuracy of his quatrains are a result of their facile interpretations (Guentte). Still, more than four hundred books and essays about his prophecies have been published since his death in 1566, along with a great number of articles and other commentaries, in numerous languages (Randi 5). Even skeptics pay careful attention to Nostradamus' predictions of the three anti-Christs. If Nostradamus truly predicted Napoleon and Hitler we should take heed of his words about the future. Perhaps we can prevent the dismal fate Nostradamus has predicted

Every one will come true, and every one will fail to come true. This is because Nostradamus, like all similar "prophets" simply made cryptic statements that could be interpreted in any way by any group of people at any point in history. The whole point of the predictions is to be vague enough that "true believers" can point to events in the future and say "see, this is what he was talking about!" They never allow someone to actually predict an event, they simply allow the simple-minded to point to things that happen and say "see, he was right!"

You said all prophets? Many of God's prophets pin pointed what was going to happen such as Babylon's fall. The doors would be left open. Cyrus would be the one to conquer it.
He wasn't even born yet.
The waters surrounding the city would be dryed up. All of it happened just like he said.
It was so accurate that some thought it was written after the fact. Look at the scriptures Jesus fulfilled? Things he had no control over. Like his virgin birth. Where he was to be born.
That he would raise the dead and heal the sick.
That he would die and come back in 3 days.

Actually alot of the crap he said is true and will come true some already did but i don't believe he is a psychic i believed he used plain knowledge everyone here will realize that humans will be the demise of the selves and necessity will be the reason greed will be a influence that's just common sense so i don't believe in stuff like that and i still don't but then again i believe Nostradamus wasn't a psychic i just think he was smart and used common sense

psyop is wrong. Read the book "nostrodamus". He made a prediction that the water would wash away a city. The tsunami. He also said that world war 3 would begin with the falling of the towers of glass. Sounds like 9-11 to me. He predicted Hitler, by name. He predicted the assassination of kennedy, and a lot of other really accurate predictions. Psyop has obviously not read the book.

a few of his predictions already came true. The others we will just have to wait and see about. I don't think all of them will come true but like i say a few of them have and he was right about some things.

Nostradamus' "predictions" tend to mean all things to all men. I can read just about anything I want into them, and so can you--and we'd both be equally right (or wrong). Ignore such nonsense--it's better for your mental health.

They've already been proven on many occasions not to be true...so I wouldn't be too worried about anything else he "predicted".
