Do you believe Nostradamus was correct in foretelling the end of the world between 2009 and 2012?

Question

I saw it on a scifi special about all of his predictions. Depressing thought, didn't mean to crap on your day.

Answer 1

Hello, Mitchy:

No I don't believe Nostradamus knew when the Lord will come. Why? Because he is a false prophet and there are events that must fulfill that are controlled by God.

And when you see these things fulfill, then "look up, for your redemption draws near", says Jesus.

What are some of these thigs? Well, a Bible code re-establishes some vital truths that must occur, and you can break that code on-line at http://abiblecode.tripod.com

Armageddon is coming, and the Bible tells who will cause it. If you read: 'The Rise, Decline, and Death of Islam as Predicted in the Bible", you won't be surprised. See www.revelado.org/islam.htm

Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

Answer 2

I've seen so many end of world predictions that I try to just ingore them. Remember 6-6-6 last year? How about Y2K? And there were hundreds of others in between, before, and in the future. Look it up, it's amazing how many there are. I saw that Nostradamus predicted the end of the world in 3000 something, not 2000 something. And also, it says in the Book of Revelation that nobody except for God knows when the end of the world will happen, so I think we should just ignore the "prophecies" out there, listen to the facts (Bible), and just wait.

Answer 3

Who knows what will happen in or around that year. Sometimes propheices can come true because people make them come true.

Here's a quote from a wikpedia article on 2012:

"2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order.

Accordingly, several eclectic authors claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012:

The 1995 book The Mayan Prophecies linked the Maya calendar with long-period sunspot cycles.
The book 2012: Mayan Year of Destiny claims the Maya may have been instructed in their wisdom by disembodied entities from Orion and the Pleiades. Contact was maintained through shamanic rituals conducted in accordance with the movements of planets and stars. However, some Mayan priests living and working in Guatemala assert that there is no legitimacy to this theory.
The 1997 book The Bible Code claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, a meteor, asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
The book The Nostradamus Code speaks of a series of natural disasters caused by a comet (possibly as above) that will allow the third Antichrist to disperse his troops around the globe under the guise of aid in preparation for a possible nuclear war, although in the strictest sense it is unspecific as to nuclear war or some other natural or man caused destruction.
The book The Orion Prophecy claims that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse.
The 2005 book Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy by Geoff Stray reviews several theories, prophecies and predictions concerning 2012 and finds where authors have used faulty information or have bent the truth to fit their theories.
The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a noosphere.
The 2007 book Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End by Lawrence Joseph does not make any specific new predictions, but it reviews a number of 2012 predictions made by various sources, and presents arguments for the possible existence of dangerous positive feedback loops involving solar storms, Earth's magnetic field, cosmic rays, hurricanes, global warming, earthquakes, and supervolcanoes that may be on the verge of erupting.
Other prophecies and apocalyptic writings and hypotheses for this year include:

Terence McKenna's mathematical novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.
Some proponents of a peak oil catastrophe place major events in 2012. Richard C. Duncan's book The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road To The Olduvai Gorge claims that the Olduvai cliff will begin and permanent blackouts will occur worldwide. Several studies predict a peak in oil production in or around 2012. [13][14][15]
Some alien-enthusiasts (e.g. Riley Martin), along with some new-agers, believe 2012 to correspond approximately with the return of alien "watchers" or "caretakers" who might have helped the first human civilizations with developing their technology and may have been waiting for us to reach a higher level of technological and/or social advancement. Beliefs range from the extra-terrestrials having benevolent purposes — such as to help human society evolve — to malevolent purposes — such as enslavement of mankind and/or manipulation.
There is a Hindu following indicating the appearance of an Avatar (God in human form) with God-like powers who will herald a new age. A website to this effect appears at: End of the World 2012. "

Answer 4

By the time the "world ends", humans will have long since migrated to other worlds.

I think Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was a far better prophet than Nostradamus.

"The earth is the cradle of mankind - one cannot remain in the cradle forever."

"Men are weak now, and yet they transform the Earth’s surface. In millions of years their might will increase to the extent that they will change the surface of the Earth, its oceans, the atmosphere and themselves. They will control the climate and the solar system just as they control the Earth. They will travel beyond the limits of our planetary system; they will reach other Suns and use their fresh energy instead of the energy of their dying luminary."

-- Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

Answer 5

No.
He predicted the world to End on July 4th 1999.
Well, not only was that my birthday but also the day i was taking exams lol
It didn't happen.....i think some of his predictions were legitimate but some are waaaay of the mark and i don't think anyone can fortell when the world will end or even how!

Answer 6

My estimation of Nostradamus' prophecies is that, the farther away the prophecy is from Nostradamus' own lifetime, the less accurate the prophecy is likely to be.

Answer 7

The problem with Nost, was that his predictions were made throughout a dozen or so books... out of order. I don't know how many books he wrote, but you have verses that aren't anywhere near one another, but a researcher kind of 'put' them together...

I don't find his predictions very shocking or surprising...

Answer 8

Not particularly. I expect these dates to come and go like all the other predictions made by others such as the JWs.

Answer 9

the aztech and mayan calendars stop around there also, but the scriptures who have never been wrong about prophecy, unlike nostradamus, state the noone knows about that day or that hour.

Answer 10

I thought I had more time. I thought it was 12-12-2012
Now it is 2009? Who brought it closer?
