Words of Nostradamus

[Guest reg]

yes

 

[WD_ToRMeNt]

In the City of York there will be a great collapse,

Two twin brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the phortress phalls,

The great leader will succumb,

The third big war will begin when the big city is burning. -Nostradamus, 1654

[matt--]

 

Didn't Nostradamus write the exact time that people will find the paper in his pocket, after he died?

[Guest Vagabond]

Can you post a link to your source, Torment? I've done some research on the web and can't find a quote that even resembles what you've stated.

[Guest digl]

Its true

I saw the same quote in a chilean forum, except it said in the city of God

[WD_ToRMeNt]

Ummm somethink like that matt. I thin it was the day and hour he died though. I could be wrong.

[Guest Vagabond]

Again, I'd like to see a link.

[TheJackal_jk2]

I posted that exactly on the <a href="http://forums.galacticbattles.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=745">Premier GalaticBattles Forums</a>. I got it from a friend who is a nuts about prophecies.

I want to bring back the spotlight to this quote. My brother said that the two towers are sisters not brothers, so ww3 will not start. Nostradamus has been known not to be precise, however he is very damn close. Example: He predicted the man to cause ww2 was a man named Hisler. There is a ONE letter difference between Hitler and Hisler

a. Overview: horrible battles, weapons, devastation, death

===

 

I. p.55

 

Because of the new awareness the western civilization has come upon,

and because of the accelerated rate of the shifting of the earth's

crust, and because of the conjunction of the planets, the war *might*

be avoided. Depending on the speed at which the natural events occur.

For as in any civilization, when natural disasters occur this is more

prominent than military conquest.

 

I p252 (cII-40)

 

During the time of troubles and WWWIII there will be massive naval,

air, and land battles. The ultra-secret weapons that are brought

forth will shock and stun the world.

 

I p 272 (cVIII-17)

 

The Antichrist will not hesitate to use bacteriological warfare as

well as conventional warfare, causing hunger, fire and plagues. The

causative organisms will be more virulent than ever and hence

increasingly lethal.

 

I p 253 (cII-18)

 

When the Antichrist is taking over Europe, nuclear weapons will wreak

havoc like lighting strikes, and from them a "milky rain" will occur.

Weapons currently beyond our imagination will wreak unparalleled

devastation. Corpses will litter the landscape. The very earth will

"cry out in pain". The Antichrist will be so terrible, horrible, and

powerful that the rightful rulers of countries will be utterly

terrified and will not do anything to stop his ravages. Entire

dynasties will be wiped out.

 

I p 254 (cIII-19)

 

Before the Antichrist takes over a place, he will rain down death and

destruction so that he can seize without opposition. He will travel

far from his resting place in doing this. Some of this devastation

will make past heinous events of the prior world wars "look like

child's play". Unlike Hitler's "rain of blood" he will use a "rain of

blood and milk."

 

b. Nuclear confrontation in the Middle East

===

 

I p252 (cII-60)

 

A major nuclear confrontation will occur in the Middle East. The

aggressor will have broken a promise not to use nuclear weapons in

warfare. Naval fleets kept in the area by other powers will be

scattered in ruins from the violence of the blast.

 

Radioactive fallout and its effect on people, animals, and weather,

and erupting volcanoes will turn the water of that part of the ocean

a muddy red color. Because of this bodies will appear to float in

blood. Because of the blasts and earth changes, rivers will change

their course, and political boundary lines based on them will be

redrawn.

 

The U.S. will have a Democratic president at the time. He will get

involved with the conflict as a way of trying to stimulate the

economy from a depression.

 

c. Mediterranean campaign and the battles of Gibraltar

===

 

I p 225 (cIII-10)

 

The Antichrist, during the Mediterranean campaign, will take over

Monaco as a crucial strategic position to advancing to Italy and

southern Europe. The successor to Prince Ranier, apparently one of

his sons, will be imprisoned after the takeover as an obstacle.

 

I p 230 (cI-77)

 

In the Antichrist's Mediterranean battle Gibraltar will play a key

role. The key general, a naval officer, will succeed in saving

Gibraltar from the Antichrist's forces but will later die in an

automobile accident.

 

I p 235 (cI-71)

 

The Rock of Gibraltar will be a strategic position, captured and

retaken three times by various forces.

 

I p 232 (cI-98)

 

Marines on naval battlecarriers will confront the Antichrist when he

attempts to invade Eurpoe in the area of Crete and Thessaly, but they

will be outgunned and have to retreat probably to Gibraltar. In the

very fierce and bloody battle the Antichrist will have to transfer

many of his troops to a supply ship after a fighting ship is sunk.

 

 

d. Bomb sent at New York by the Antichrist, France retaliates

===

 

I p 250 (cVI-97)

 

In WWWIII many existing diplomatic ties between nations will be broken

and realigned. One that will continue to hold however is the alliance

between France and the U.S. A force aligned with the Antichrist will

send a bomb aimed at New York City. It will be spotted and tracked as

it approaches. The U.S. defense system will feverishly concentrate on

diverting or disabling the bomb, and the U.S. will not be able to

retaliate. As proof of their loyalty the French are asked to

retaliate, which they do with several bombs and weapons.

 

The response will be immediate. The American leader uses a hotline to

communicate to the French Marshal, who launches self-propelled bombs

with "tongues of fire" against the aggressor. In this war some of

the bombs will hit New York and some will be diverted. The bomb

referred to here will be prematurely detonated along the flightpath,

saving the city. Many human lives will be spent when planes flying

around the bomb, trying to divert or destroy it, are blown up.

 

e. Bacteriological warfare strikes New York and London

===

 

I p242 (cII-6)

 

New York and in London will be hit with scourges from bacteriological

warfare, a deadly "bug", either bacteria or virus or some type of

disease-causing organism. It will be released into the atmosphere to

affect the populations of New York and London. Because of separation

and different gene pools, spontaneous mutations in the organisms

will affect the two populations in different ways. It will appear to

be two different diseases even though it was caused by the same

organism.

 

As a result of this plague the metropolitan infrastructures will break

down. The people near but outside the cities will panic and shun the

cities and refuse to deliver available food, effectively putting them

into quarantine. The city dwellers will starve to death in droves.

People will loot and raid stores, and soldiers will stab them off at

bayonet point. The government will try to evenly distribute the

remaining food but the people will panic and they call on God to

relieve them from their misery.

 

 

f. Antichrist conquers Europe

===

 

I p 278 (cIX-73)

 

The Antichrist will take over Europe and begin to toy with the idea of

establishing some kind of dynasty. Because of his background he is

obsessed with power and attracted to the way that a ruling family

line can have a major effect on the flow of history, manipulating

society over a long span of time through familial line, far beyond

the influence of a single individual. But his plans will not

materialize because he is overthrown by Ogmios and his monstrosities

will be counterbalanced with positive forces to heal the earth,

directed by the Great Genius.

 

 

g. The Antichrist invades Britain

===

 

I p 230 (cII-68)

 

In his European campaign the Antichrist will attempt to overtake

Britain, particularly to seize its naval forces for further advances.

England will resist and initially fend off the advance, with support

from the U.S. However, it is likely that the Antichrist will

eventually overcome England and the more passionate members of the

underground will flee to Ireland and Scotland. The Antichrist will

not succeed in overtaking the entire island. North England, Scotland,

and Ireland will not succumb, possibly aiding the reunification of

Ireland to fight the Antichrist. Patriotic and stubborn Irish and

Scottish spirit will play a favorable role in turning the tide.

 

I. p 228 (cIII-16)

 

The British prince, a member of the English royal house, will be eager

to lead his troops into battle to defend his own and neighboring

countries that have treaties with Britain. He will confront the

Antichrist's forces in two major engagements and will be defeated in

one. He will be outflanked and will have to retreat in disgrace.

 

Nevertheless the opposing forces will curse him because he was a

valiant fighter, and his brashly engaging in battle disrupted some of

the Antichrist's carefully laid plans for the conquest of Europe. The

man will return to England and the population will give him a hero's

welcome for his bravery despite the defeat.

 

 

h. The crucial meeting on the naval carrier

===

 

I p 257 (cII-75)

 

During WWWIII and the great turmoil, an airplane will come for a

landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier. It will be from a nation

foreign to the country that owns the carrier. The balance of

political powers of the two sides involved will be very complex and

delicate.

 

The plane is from a power "slightly more aligned to the other side"

although still basically neutral. But to have any kind of contact

with the country that owns the carrier would have severe political

repercussions relative to the war, so the generals of the carrier are

reluctant to give permission to the plane to land. The plane will

carry an important political or military leader and an important

emissary who needs to deliver important documents and messages. The

situation will be very fragile and volatile.

 

i. Seas, rivers, lakes boil; famines lead to insane cannibalism

===

 

I p 257 (cII-75)

 

During WWWIII shipping and normal trade will be seriously disrupted.

Some countries will have excesses of food, such as bushels of wheat,

but the price will be so out of proportion that no one will be able

to buy it. In countries where there is famine, people will resort to

cannibalism to stay alive. The wheat in other countries will be

stored in silos and rot because they cannot get rid of it, cannot

sell it. The price of the wheat is enormous in cost partly because it

is very dangerous to deliver or ship it anywhere during wartime.

 

I p 251 (cV-98)

 

A very great drought will occur in the European continent during the

time of the Antichrist. Fish will die as seas, rivers, and lakes

boil. The Antichrist will be behind it. This event is not the same

but is related to the boiling fish at the Dark Point (I p 181,

cII-3). Two sites will be in distress from "fire in the sky".

 

I p 268 (cII-18)

 

The extremes in weather during the time of the Antichrist will affect

a battle. Extreme rain and hail will take by surprise two armies

lined up to do battle. As an alternative plan to confrontation they

try to fly planes above the clouds to drop bombs on the opposing

forces, "fire and stones falling from the sky".

 

I p168 (cIX-31)

 

The earth, after a relative period of peace, will suffer a great

natural disaster, involving severe earthquakes that rip the crust

open, spewing lava. The major earthquake will trigger other

earthquakes that will destroy large land areas. Famine and fighting

will set in. Countries will fight with each other over surplus food:

India and China will march to seize the corn and wheat fields of

Russia and eastern Europe. Communications will break down. Religious

leaders will lose credibility because of the inability to explain the

earth changes. Christianity will falter.

 

I p 259 (cI-67)

 

The climactic changes caused by the detonation of the terrible weapons

will cause famines in scattered areas, and conditions will get worse.

The uninhabitable regions will continue to grow until the areas

connect large surfaces of the earth's land masses, and the majority

of humanity will be suffering. People will become virtually insane

with the persistent lack of food, and will eat things like tree

roots, and even seize newborn infants.

 

 

j. Antichrist's commander succumbs to key strategic failure

 

I p 272 (cVI-33)

 

The Anti-Christ's surpreme commander will make a major failure

of judgement on the field in an extremely strategic battle

and the bulk of his forces

are captured or killed. The supreme commander misuses some

technology that has not yet been developed, causing his downfall.

 

k. Russia breaks free of the Antichrist

===

 

I p 272 (cVI-21)

 

The Antichrist will seem all powerful and all conquering and the

situation will appear hopeless. But "his star will be falling" and

his power will crack in crucial places. The U.S., Canada, Russia, and

later, northern Europe, unite together. In particular, even though

the Antichrist has taken over all of Asia, after a period he is no

longer able to control Russia. Russia breaks free and unites with the

unconquered countries.

 

The alliance strikes terror into the Antichrist who glimpses the

beginning of the end and his potential failure. He chooses another

field commander to continue his campaign, but the effort fails.

Rhodes and Byzantium, the site of his regional headquarters, will be

engaged in the most intense fighting. The "northern pole alliance"

will diminish his power by breaking down his chain of command,

communication capabilities, etc. and attempt to break his

stranglehold on his conquered territories. This is the beginning of a

turning point in WWWIII.

 

l. North Pole Alliance of North America, Europe, Russia forms

 

I p 272 (cVIII-17)

 

At a point the Antichrist's forces become complacent from so many

frequent and rapid conquests. They will begin to lose some battles

and see their power is not forever.

 

The Antichrist will have taken over a large part of the world and will

become complacent. "Three brothers", the "alliance of the pole", i.e.

North America, Europe, and Russia, will trouble the Antichrist and

his world will tremble. France will be united with the alliance in

spirit, if not actually physically, because the country will weakened

seriously from the Antichrist's degradations.

 

m. Ogmios confronts the Antichrist, fate of world in balance

 

I p 273 (cV-80)

 

A leader figuratively referred to as "Ogmios" will confront the

Antichrist in battle. The crux of the pivotal struggle of WWWIII will

be in the "gray area" between Europe and Asia. The outcome will be

questionable for some time. During the time the Antichrist is in

power there will be constant skirmishes and battles between his

barbarian forces and those still free of his tyrannical rule.

 

I p 277 (cII-85)

 

Ogmios will eventually emerge triumphantly victorious over the

Antichrist, but it will be a long, gradual, arduous struggle.

 

n. Antichrist eventually dethroned

 

I p 278 (cIX-73)

 

The Antichrist will rule for "less than the revolution of Saturn"

(29.5 years), far less than the grand span of time he envisions. His

reign will be temporary, because his power is like building a fire

with grass; it burns very hotly but quickly. His effect on history

and his "time in the limelight" will be limited. The time from WWII

to the end of WWWIII and the time of troubles will almost encompass

a century in itself.

[Guest Hannibal]

Woudn't Jerusalem be the city of God?

[Guest Vagabond]

Jackal, I saw that same material you just posted, but again, it doesn't refer to the "twin brothers" things. And regarding sisters rather than brothers, it's all semantics, and I wouldn't get too wrapped up in such a trival detail. Technically, they're its, as the towers have no genitalia.

 

So again, any official link for this "brothers" quote?

 

[ September 12, 2001: Message edited by: Vagabond ]

[TheJackal_jk2]

Yeah i know. this is just ''guessing''. But it is to freaken close to today's world.

 

A US economic depression. Middle East wars. Anarchists (we have seen a rise of these especially at the WorldSumit at Québec)

 

It sends a chill up my spin.

[Guest Vagabond]

Well, don't get too weirded out. As you mentioned, N wasn't perfect in his predictions. And least we forget a lesson from the master - always in motion is the future

[OnlyOneCanoli]

Yes, this quote is legitimate, as I've seen it at other forums, especially TF.N.

 

I do not believe it, however. I have to hand it to the guy, he was right on some occasions, but you cannot be labeled a prophet if you are wrong, at least IMO. And he has been wrong several times. Weren't we supposed to die last year?

 

Actually, I heard a different quote.

 

Most importantly, it says the city of God (which is NOT NYC), and it says that the fortress endures. So somebody messed up somewhere.

[Darth Simpson]

Didn't Nostradamus predict that the world would end by the year 2000 too?

 

[ September 12, 2001: Message edited by: Darth Simpson ]

[Guest Kurgan]

Nostradamus if full of crap. I've seen plenty of his so-called "prophecies" debunked.

 

Ever wonder why if he could predict the future so well, that people never realise what his stuff "really means" until after it happens? Except of course the end of the world, which EVERYONE knows when it's going to happen (they've been predicting the end, be it by war, disaster or what have you for thousands of years).

 

His "prophecies" are so vague, you can pretty much apply them to anything, like any good fortune teller or commercial psyhic will tell you.. it's good business.

 

Just like the Bible Code (ELS; which also works with Moby Dick I might add), they will produce whatever results you want if you just stretch, twist, and ignore certain parts, to make all the pieces fit.

 

It's just bs.. pure and simple. Nostradamus didn't predict this attack, he didn't predict the end of the world, and he didn't predict George W. Bush either. He died a long time ago and didn't know about any of these events, sorry to break it to you.

 

Besides, if he could predict the future and we couldn't stop it from happening, wouldn't that be just admitting we have no free will, and that our lives are ruled by destiny? Then there'd be absolutely no value in knowing his prophecies were true anyway!

 

In the City of York there will be a great collapse,

Two twin brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the phortress phalls,

The great leader will succumb,

The third big war will begin when the big city is burning

 

Incidentally, I heard the quote was "The Holy City" not "The City of York." If you could share your source (ie: the online e-text of Nostradamus's complete works, searchable of course), we could debunk it together. Though personally I think it's a waste of time, I haven't seen anything in his writings to think he had any sort of real prophetic powers.

 

Note that the link posted above is INTERPRETATIONS, not the actual text. Nostradamus wrote in French, if I recall, so the "one letter difference" in any word would be irrelevant anyway. Just because two words look similar (in different languages) doesn't mean they have the same meaning.

 

Kurgan

 

[ September 12, 2001: Message edited by: Kurgan ]

[Guest Argath]

It's BS. The fact that it's been making its way around a number of internet communities doesn't make it any more credible. That just means that people have been copying and pasting the quote to show other people. Try to keep in mind that other internet forums aren't really adequate references.

 

If it was a legitimate prophecy, it would be referenced with Quatrain number and whatnot like all other real Nostradamus quotations. It would also help if the listed year was somewhat believable; Nostradamus died in 1556.

 

Anyway, these fabricated Nostradamus quotations suddenly pop up every time something like this happens. When Bush was elected, a quotation about a village idiot coming to power surfaced, yet it was strangely not found in any of Nostradamus' real writings.

 

Another stupid fake quotation I've seen for the WTC disaster is:

 

"On the 11th day of the 9 month that...two metal birds would crash into two tall statues...in the new city...and the world will end soon after"-Nostradamus 1654

 

That one, like the previous, is fabricated. Don't believe everything you read, especially when that material is found on the internet, a medium notorious for misinformation.

[Guest Kurgan]

Well put.

 

Kurgan

[ReAcToR]

In the City of York there will be a great collapse,

Two twin brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the phortress phalls,

The great leader will succumb,

The third big war will begin when the big city is burning. -Nostradamus, 1654

 

Sickening to see how people make a joke out of such matters. I'm not talking about the people who are ignorant of Nostradamus(like those of this forum), but those who fabricate quotes. I've studied the complete prophecies of Nostradamus in the past and can tell you that not only is the quote above a fake, there is nothing that is even similar, written by Nostradamus. People who fabricate these quotes and use scare tactics and jokes in a time like this, should be ashamed of themselves.

 

A US economic depression. Middle East wars. Anarchists (we have seen a rise of these especially at the WorldSumit at Québec).

 

The US isn't in an economic depression. You could theorize that we are in a recession, but definitely not a depression. There have always been wars in the middle east and may always be. There have always been anarchists. I wouldn't say that there is a rise in anarchists, there is just a rise in individuals who aren't afraid to admit that they are anarchists.

 

Didn't Nostradamus predict that the world would end by the year 2000 too?

 

Nostradamus has predicted alot of things, most of which have never come true and probably never will. The more you study the prophecies, the more you'll see them as a fraud(in my experience at least).

 

He predicted the man to cause ww2 was a man named Hisler. There is a ONE letter difference between Hitler and Hisler.

 

I've always head that myself, so I just went upstairs and looked through the index of "The Complete Prophecies of Nostradamus" by Henry C. Roberts, for Hitler and in the 22 sections that were suppose to describe Hitler, not one of them uses the word Hitler, Hisler or anything similar.

 

My father used to say something interesting to me that has helped me through life.

 

"Believe 1/2 of what you see and none of what you read."

 

I think everyone should take that to heart.

[Obi Kwan]

Look what I found:

 

"The following quatrain has been circulating the Internet after the WTC bombings.

 

In the City of God there will be a great thunder,

two brothers torn apart by chaos,

while the fortress endures, the great leader will sucumb.

The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.

 

It is NOT by Nostradamus.

whaterver, still propoganda.

[Ice Man1587246496]

The only prophecies that I believe to be 100% true are the ones in the Bible. If you compare Old Testament and New Testament, you find that the NT fulfills OT prophecy, and the only prophecies left unfulfilled are those about the end times.

I hope I didn't offend anyone. I live by my convictions and you live by yours.

[KillerBee]

well as he died in 1566 it would have been hard to be at that date
