2020 Nostradamus Page #3

around anymore,

and wasn't when

Nostradamus wrote this,

so he must have meant somebody

else, somebody like Hannibal.

While Hannibal was

obviously an enemy of Rome

and spent most of his

life fighting them,

his gods will cause

him to be reborn

and he will be a

terror of mankind.

(euphoric music)

With our modern eyes we can now

see this slight differently.

Hannibal attacked Rome,

so it has to be somebody

who doesn't like Christianity,

the mother church

of which is in Rome.

Hannibal originally lived in

what is now known as Tunisia,

a Muslim state that rests neatly

between Libya and Algeria.

So this new Hannibal

will be a Muslim.

According to the chatter,

this quatrain speaks

of the birth of

an Islamic nation

that will terrorize the world.

Well, we have one of

those, and we call it ISIS,

which strangely is the name of

one of the old gods of Egypt.

(bleak music)

ISIS is a self-proclaimed nation

that is the terror of mankind.

This terror appears

to come through Babel.

This was a city in the

country we now call Iraq,

a place where ISIS

is currently strong.

So ISIS, the new Hannibal,

will come through Iraq

and terrorize the

Christians of the world.

Now we can truly see how easy

it is, in almost any age,

to create something

out of almost nothing.

(ethereal music)

Of course, world events

are not so good right now:

there is terrorism and unrest;

jostling between

Russia and the West

is constantly in the news.

But the truth is that at

no point in human history

has it been any different.

Yes, immigrants are

piling into Europe

from the wars in

the Middle East.

And yes, among

them are terrorists

hellbent on destroying this

thing we loosely call democracy,

and bringing about

one world for Allah.

But nowhere does

Nostradamus predict

any of this specifically,

and what he did say

could easily have been

used in any century.

Before the first world war,

the so-called Muslim hordes

followed the Mahdi

and were rising again.

They murdered

Gordon of Khartoum,

who was there to stop them.

After the end of that episode,

many then followed

Lawrence of Arabia

in the First World War.

Was he the antichrist too?

(emotional music)

So what else is supposedly

predicted by Nostradamus,

and what truth is there?

This is one of his quatrains,

as has been manipulated

a great deal:

"Volcanic fire from

the center of the earth

"will cause trembling

around the new city

"Two great rocks will

make war for a long time.

"Then Arethusa will

redden a new river."

This is the quatrain

used and abused

to prove that

Nostradamus predicted

the terrorist attacks

on September the 11th.

(ominous music)

The words themselves are

often twisted and changed.

In fact, some even pop

the city New York in there

for good measure.

The text mentions no

New York or terrorists.

What they say is that two

great rocks were the two planes

that crashed into the World

Trade towers; a bit thin.

Arethusa, who will

redden the new river,

is in fact a nymph

from mythology

who changed into a fountain.

Any well-read person of the

time would have known this.

Whatever he meant

when he wrote this

is unknown, of course,

but filling in the gaps

and changing the text

is not scientific.

Of course, one of the

most famous quatrains

is the one about Hitler.

Here's how it goes:

"In the place very near,

not far from Venice,

"the two greatest ones

of Asia and of Africa

"from the Rhine and Hister

they will be said to have come.

"Cries, tears at Malta,

and the Liburian side."

Hister, apparently, is Hitler.

And it is claimed this quatrain

is about a meeting of

Hitler and Mussolini.

Now, that takes some

serious twisting.

(somber music)

Hister is in fact a term

used widely at the time

for the river Danube;

hence, the Rhine and

Danube, or Hister.

Again, whatever else this all

means is mere speculation.

Another man from history

that is said to appear

in the prophecies of

Nostradamus is Louis Pasteur.

Here's the verse:

"Lost, found, hidden

for so long a time,

"the pastor will be

honored as a demigod;

"before the moon

finishes its full period

"he will be dishonored

by other winds."

Apparently this is about

the coming of Louis Pasteur

and his work with microbes.

It says nothing of the kind.

In fact, a pastor is

simply a religious leader.

And then there is

the famous prediction

that Henry II of

France would die:

"The young lion will

overcome the old one

"on the field of battle

in single combat:

"He will put out his

eyes in a cage of gold:

"Two fleets one, then

to die a cruel death."

(whispering)

Four years later, Henry

was in fact killed

from a lance in the eye at a

match with Captain Montgomery.

It was not on the field of

battle, but instead at a party.

Today, people say

that this prophecy

made Nostradamus famous.

This is a blatant

historical lie.

The prophecy itself

was not even known

until 50 years after his death,

when it was first

published posthumously.

(otherworldly music)

We have to understand

people do lie, often.

Another one of those prophecies

that is held up by

believers as proven

is the concept that Nostradamus

predicted World War II

and the arrival of

the atomic bomb.

(whispering)

Here's what he supposedly said:

"Near the gates and

within the cities

"there will be two scourges

"the like of which

was never seen;

"famine within plague,

people put out by steel,"

"crying to the great

immortal God for relief."

(whispering)

A lot of interpretations

get this completely wrong.

Firstly, they state the

French word "portis"

is seaport; in fact, it

means gate or doorway.

(twinkling electronic music)

So the location of a

seaport is totally wrong.

In fact, all this quatrain does

is explain the

terrors of the plague

that we already know had

spread across Europe.

This is not a nuclear attack.

The sentence "people put out

by steel" is mistranslated.

It really meant some kind

of Medieval weaponry.

It is almost beyond

comprehension

that such a quatrain could

be twisted and turned

to mean World War II

and nuclear explosions.

Nostradamus apparently

also predicted

the great fire of London.

Here's what he said:

"The blood of the just will

commit a fault at London,

"burnt through lightning

of 23 to the six:

"The ancient lady will

fall from her high place,

"several of the same

sect will be killed."

"The blood of the just

will commit a fault;"

well, the just are either the

religious or royal leaders,

and yet the fire was started

by an ordinary person

as far as his name,

and it is speculated

that it was in a bakery.

It is claimed that 23 sixes

somehow works out

to the date 1666;

and yet, any schoolkid will

tell you 23 sixes is 138,

which could mean

almost anything,

such as a psalm in the bible.

(intense music)

The ancient lady falling

from her high place

is simple enough: London

was the ancient lady.
