Nostradamus Prophecies

I never said that there is predestination. That term implies that the future WAS designed in the past. I don't think that's possible. The past and the future ARE created simultaneously both in this space-time and (probably) in the WHOLE.

As above, as below. As below, as above. 

If you don�t believe in human time, then feel free to leave this forum.

I feel free to do it, naturally.

I've read several interpretations of Nostradamus, and they all seem to describe variations on the same theme.  The scenario goes something like this: sometime around the beginning of the 21st century, a force ("Mabus"--the Antichrist) will arise somewhere in Asia.  This force will come to dominate Asia, then it will commence a campaign of world conquest by joining forces with allies in the Islamic world.  The Eastern/Islamic forces would then invade Europe and launch attacks on their arch-enemies described by Nostradamus as "two brothers of the North."  These brothers are usually identified as America and its European allies, but sometimes Russia is described as partnered with America.  Eventually, however, some great hero (called "Prince Henry" by Nostradamus) will arise and lead the Western world to ultimate victory over Mabus.  Before that happens though, a great conflagration would ensue in a WWIII scenario in which weapons of mass destruction are used.

I have this lousy habit of only speaking of what I'm sure. Are you one of those persons that believes that life is already pre-determined by an "omnipotent force" such as God or Nature? Because if you do, I think that a history forum is not the right place for you.

You are too sure of what you think you are sure. I don't believe in predestination but in the inexistence of time.

Time can only be mathematized as an imaginary number (square root of -1), what do you make out of that? What do you make out of the 10 dimensions that seem necesary to explain the Universe?

I say that we live in a videogame but that there is more outside it.

I do agree that this century talks of the Islamic revolution.

How do you read the last verse?

I.70

Rain, famine and war will not cease in Persia;
too great a faith will betray the monarch.
Those (actions) started in France will end there,
a secret sign for on to be sparing.

 I- 87 Earthshaking fire from the center of the earth
will cause tremors around the New City.
Two great rocks will war for a long time,
then Arethusa will redden a new river.

 two great rocks will war together( tectonic plates)?

Arethusa  ( goddess of the stream of lava )

Garden of the world near the new city,
In the path of the hollow mountains:
It will be seized and plunged into the Tub,
Forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur

Forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur.

"The centuries" are a sequance of quatrains (poems of 4 verses) are organized in 10 centuries, mostly of 100 quatrains each but some with less. Then there are other related or unrelated prophecies.

I have nothing against Iranians, you know... but a Khomeinist invasion would be scary...

Anyhow N. can be wrong and I can be wrong in my interpretation as well...

Originally posted by Imperator Invictus The problem with the "predictions" is that that "predictions" are made after the event has occured.

You said it all. Nostradamus and all futurologists tell more about humans and their anxieties about the future than what is really going to happen. It is simply impossible to know the future because it hasn't yet happened.
