In reference to some previous posts regarding Nostradomaus and his predictions, I submit the folllowing: Shortly after the ghastly terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City September 11th, 2001 a supposed prophecy of Nostradamus (the 16th century French soothsayer) began circulating the Internet and news media. Look at Nostradamus' words that have been reported by the news media: "In the year of the new century and nine months, From the sky will come a great King of Terror... The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city..." "In the city of York there will be a great collapse, two twin brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb third big war will begin when the big city is burning" An even more detailed prophecy flooded the Internet: It has been foreseen that exactly three hundred and fifty years into the future, Silver phoenixes shall strike down the twin brothers of oppression That carried the king's nation, which shall bring upon the apocalypse. In the City of God there will be a great thunder, two brothers torn apart by chaos Did Nostradamus predict the bombing of the Twin Towers in New York? Not quite. Look at his actual prophecies: * They don't say "In the year of the new century and nine months," but "In the year 1999 and seven months, from the skies shall come an alarming powerful king" (Century 10:72). * Neither is there a mention of "twin brothers" being "torn apart." The "prophecy" actually says, "Two royal brothers shall war so much one against the other" (Century 3:97). * As for collapsing in the city of York and the sky burning, this is as close as he gets: "The heaven shall burn at five and forty degrees, The fire shall come near the great new city... when they shall make a trial of the Normans" (Century 6;97). Nostradamus never even mentioned the words "fortress" or "big war." Nostradamus is a billion dollar industry, and a little addition here and there to his rambling words helps business.

Resources: Did Nostradamus predict the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001? Did he prophecy of the assassination of President Kennedy? Did he say that man would land on the moon, and that someone named Hitler would lead Germany? Did he mention America by name? Did he have anything to say about the outcome of the Third World War? This publication will not only give you insight into the acclaimed prophecies of the world's most famous prophet, but it will show you how he obtained his predictions. Some say Nostradamus was a man who heard from God. Others say his knowledge was obtained through the occult. These fascinating resources will reveal to you that there was another means by which he acquired such incredible insights. * Book -- Nostradamus: Attack on New York and other Amazing Prophecies by Ray Comfort.
