    Ive just read that nostradamus wrote that in the year of 8 plus millenia that persia will rise up and strike the west and the ummah will bring death and destruction upon their followers.
    now im not into nostro or this kind of thing and i dont honestly know about his writings myself but this is a pretty scary story if hes any good. innit. what thinks you mob :lol: :lol:

    The thing with Nostradmus is that any of his verses can be taken to mean hundreds of different things, or be interpreted in hundreds of different ways.

    The verses are cryptical and vague. Any number of them can be fitted into any number of historical events.

    He mentions things like natural disasters and wars etc. These are things that are gonna happen time and time again thoughout human history so eventually a few of the verses are going to come “true”.
    They are probability guesses. Anyone could do them.

    The thing that makes nostradamus stand out from many other “prophets” is that his predictions for the most part follow a discernable timeline and can be dated prior to their occurence as has been done several times in the past

    The question there tho obviously is whether the prediction could be absorbed by a loon who then makes it come true, or whether the act would have happened even if not predicted thus making it an actual prediction

    Even with things like this, its possible that the prediction could be taken by some dictator to see it as a divine guarantee of success in some attempt at world domination or islamic world destruction and could therefore be the catalyst that makes an otherwise demonic ponderance end up being acted on, or as before it could have happened that way anyway whether nostradamus has predicted it or not

    Without two different timelines and the ability to remove his predictions from one and not the other such things cant be adequately evaluated as to whether they are the cause of an act or an actual prediction of it

    However, if someone denies the existence of god, the soul and anyother “mystical” nonsense and theorises that the universe and everything within it IS governed by mathematical laws and the laws of physics then time can be mathematically unveiled in either direction making it possible to see to any point in the future or past to a degree of acuracy directly proportional to the level of scientific knowledge of the universe at that point in time by an as yet impossible method of modelling called sub atomic progression theory

    As with its sworn enemy, Al Qaeda, the Iranian fundamentalist regime could inflict horrific damage on the west but this would ultimately bring about its own annihilation.

    The word ‘ira’ is the Latin for ‘anger. And we have IRAn, IRAq, IsRAel, not to mention the IRA!

    But one of nostradamus’ most famous and theoirised quotes which isnt placed on a timeline tho was that “the end of the world will come when the yellow people rule the earth”

    That has for decades been assumed to mean the chineese rather than signifying a pandemic outbreak of jaundice, and “rule the earth” could as much as any other meaning refer to financial dominance rather than an expansive invasionary one

    It also doesnt say the “yellow people” will be the cause of this foretold ending of mankind, bbut merely references them in terms of when it could happen, and it could just as easily be a financially defunct USA deciding to nuke the slanty eyed little runts that caused the eextinction event rather than anything the nips did

    Here’s one that surfaced on the Net after 9/11.

    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 succumb’
    ‘The third big war will begin when the big city is burning’

    A lot of people took this as Nostadamus having predicted 9/11.
    It was a hoax though. It was written in 1996 by a College Student who invented the verse to debunk Nostradamus, and to show that if you’re vague enough anything written can be interpreted to mean almost anything.

    6 years later his verse “came true”.

    OK you lot, hold on there a rootin tootin minute!

    Nostradamus was a clever old sausage, he made his predictions based on the past. What he did was, he looked at major events in his past and worked out the alignment of the planets at the time the events happened. With me so far?

    Ok, so having got a planetary alignment, he then looked at the next time this particular configuration of stars would occur and he then wrote a nifty little verse which implied what the original historical event was, but vague enough that it could relate to just about anything.

    Sometimes the planetary alignment happened more than once, and he just wrote another little verse. Easy see :)

    So, the thing is.. do you believe that the stars can predict the future? My feeling is that you will get some events that you can wriggle around into fitting with something that happened recently, like the 2nd world war for example. But coincidence has to play a major part in any of Nostradamus’ precitions wouldn’t you think?
