Nostradamus: Predictions for the past, present, and future

Tweet

Out of the deepest part of the west of Europe, From poor people a young child shall be born, Who with his tongue shall seduce many people, His fame shall increase in the Eastern Kingdom. Adolf Hitler, born in Austria of poor parents, with his knowledge of mob psychology and power of speech, he was successful in seducing many people, even in the Eastern Empire of Japan (Roberts 88). In some quatrains Nostradamus refers to Hitler as the child or sometimes the captain of Germany. Here are two examples: He shall come to tyrannize the land. He shall raise up hatred that had long been dormant. The child of Germany observes no law. Cries and tears; fire, blood and battle. A captain of Germany shall come to yield himself by false hope, So that his revolt shall cause great bloodshed. (Guentte) All of these images certainly describe Adolf Hitler. After seducing his people, Hitler ignored all treaties and began a massive invasion of Europe (Guentte). In the following verse, some experts say that Nostradamus actually referred to Hitler by name but missed by one letter. Beasts with wild hunger will cross the rivers The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister. Finally, Nostradamus sums up Hitler's life and even predicts the fact that his death in Berlin in 1945 would never be satisfactorily. Confirmed: Near the Rhine from the Austrian mountains Will be born a great man of the people, come too late. A man who will defend Poland and Hungary And whose fate never will be certain (Reader's Digest 515). According to Nostradamus, the first two anti-Christs were extremely evil and history has shown this to be so; however, Nostradamus speaks of a third anti-Christ who is more hideous than all the others combined. Some say Saddam Hussein, the dictator from Iraq, could be this evil tyrant. Others say that he has not yet appeared. What does Nostradamus say about this third anti-Christ? First, Nostradamus tells us he will come from the Middle East. Out of the country of Greater Arabia Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed... He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban. He will be the terror of mankind. Never more horror. In the year 1999 and seven months From the sky will come the great King of Terror. He will bring back to life King of the Mongols, Before and after war reigns. Nostradamus predicts that the war will begin shortly before the year 1999 (Roberts 91). He also tells us how long the war will last. The war will last seven and twenty years. (Guentte) The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city. By fire he will destroy their city, A cold and cruel heart, Blood will pour, Mercy to none. (Guentte) Although Nostradamus predictions for the future sound very frightening but as you can see that these things have already happened and who knows what else is there for the future of mankind.
