Prophecies of Nostradamus on World War III Those
studying the Prophecies of Nostradamus say that he has indicated the
possibility of a Third World War. Indeed, in some of his quatrains he mentions
terrifying battles and events occurring in and around Europe, Asia and Africa
which do not seem to have happened till date. There is, however, a difference
of opinion among the experts about the overall sequence of these events and
most of all, their timing.
My approach to deciphering the quatrains is based on the assumption that if a
world wide war of this magnitude indeed takes place, it must have been
mentioned in prophecies written in various religious texts and prophecies of
non-religious nature which are part of the folklore of different cultures. I
believe that a comparative study of all such prophecies vis-à-vis those of
Nostradamus, along with insights into the local culture, tradition, history
etc. may enable us to construct a more detailed picture of the prophesized
events than what is possible by studying an individual prophecy in isolation.
Most of these prophecies concentrate on the local perspective of a global war.
But by finding out the similarities with other prophecies, we can find the
global connection of the local events.
Contrary to what many of us think, prophesized events are neither inevitable
nor are their time of occurrence fixed. A prophesized event is the one which is
most likely to happen. It is merely one of the several possibilities.
Similarly, even if an event takes place, its timing is not fixed. The deciding
factor is the human free will. Collective human free will can alter an event,
change its timing or even stop it entirely. Some events are hard to change for
it requires a collective decision moving away entirely from the "logical"
course. Sometimes, even an individual's decision may alter an event having wide
implications. Most affected by human free will is the timing of an event. While
collective human behavior is hard to change, the time of the event taking place
changes according to collective or individual decisions. Some prophecies do
indicate a timing of the war, not in terms of the exact date but by mentioning
the appearance of certain signs like a specific
astrological conjunction or an event preceding the war.
Broadly speaking, the various prophecies indicate that the Third World War
will be preceded by an unprecedented increase in large-scale natural calamities
all over the world like big earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes,
floods, famines etc. Localized wars, revolutions, political disturbances and
large scale terrorist attacks will increase. Assassinations of high profile
leaders will take place and tensions between various countries will rise. The
economies of various countries will be severely affected, leading to
unemployment or inflation. The actual war would be of a short duration but is
said to be several times more destructive in terms of the cost of human lives
and property than all the previous world wars taken together.
To summarize what I have analyzed in this site, based on various prophecies,
the Third World War would start when Russia suddenly attacks Europe in
coalition with certain Middle Eastern countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria,
Libya and probably China. Prior to the World War III, USA would be severely
crippled by terrorist attacks, assassinations, a civil war and an economic
collapse. Prior to that, there would be a civil war in Italy, during which the
Vatican would be overrun by the mob. The Pope would escape but many of his
cardinals would die. The palace and the chapels would be burnt down. While on
the run, the Pope would be captured and killed. There would be a schism in the
Vatican and three Popes would reign at the same time, propped up by competing
powers. Supported by US and other catholic countries, the Papacy would be
shifted elsewhere and a "true" Pope would be elected there. Europe would be
almost overrun by the Russian and eastern forces and many of its
cities and also those of USA would be destroyed by conventional weapons as
well as weapons of mass destruction like nuclear, chemical and biological
weapons. Russia would attack from the North as well as from the East of Europe.
An Arab / Iranian army would attack from the south. The Pope, and later the
British Prime Minister would be forced to flee to the US. Paris would be
destroyed by "revolutionaries" within France. The attack on the US would stop
the Civil War there. New types of weapons, like Chemical Weapons and
particularly what appears to be portable Laser weapons, would be used in the
war. At the same time an unprecedented disaster would take place. A comet would
suddenly appear over the earth in the peak of the war, would break into several
pieces and fall to the earth. Smaller pieces would rain fire on cities and
forests all over the world, burning them down. A large piece would fall into
the sea creating a Tsunami of Biblical proportions, flooding parts of
Europe (including Britain), USA and Africa. One medium sized chunk would fall
on land, creating a huge crater, resulting in earthquake and volcano activities
all over the world. This event would loosen the grip of the invading army over
Europe. A joint coalition of US and European forces under the leadership of a
charismatic leader "Chiren" would organize a counter-attack against the
invading forces in Europe and elsewhere. The Russian forces in Europe would be
almost destroyed by the counter-attack and this would lead to a revolution in
Russia and the Russian leader who started the war would be assassinated.
Russia, under a new leader would then join the western coalition and fight
against its former allies, who would eventually be defeated. The Pope would
return to Europe and Chiren would be crowned the Monarch. Peace would return to
the world after a loss of almost two-thirds of its population and the wealth of
nations accumulated over millennia. But this would surely
not be the end of the world.
It is hard to understand at this stage why Russia would suddenly attack
Europe. Yet, most of the prophecies seem to agree on this part. Logically too,
it is only Russia which has the capability to take on the might of USA and
Europe, even after the break up of its empire. It still has sufficient nuclear
weapons, technology and manpower to do so. The overall picture of the events
leading to the World War is not clear. What appears from some prophecies is
that immediately preceding the war, Russia would have tensions with the west
over some Middle Eastern affair. But the actual war would begin after the
assassination of a political leader in the Balkan area, who could be the famous
"Mabus" often discussed in the context of Nostradamus's prophecies. The Russian
attack might be a result of its perception that the assassination, probably in
one of its friendly countries, could be a prelude to an western invasion and
the best way would be to pre-empt it. A major terrorist
attack on the US, assassination of some world leaders and another war in the
Middle East may precede the Third World War, apart from numerous natural
disasters. Some prophecies say that before the 3rd World War, Israel would
grant statehood to Palestine. Then oil would be discovered there and a war
would start between Israel and Palestine. It is probable that it is this war
that would generate tensions between USA and Russia, since US and Russian
fleets are said to confront each other in a tense standoff in the Mediterranean
before the war in yet another prophecy. The Bible and the Islamic texts also
mention Iraq. It is said that the river Euphrates would dry up and something
would be discovered in its dried up riverbed, which would cause much tension
among nations. There are also prophecies on the destruction of the Al-Aqsa
Mosque / Temple Mount in Jerusalem before the war and the death of Saddam
Hussein in US custody even before his trial begins.
With the death of Pope John Paul II on 3rd April 2005, the Prophecies
of St. Malachy have once again become the topic of discussion. Malachy termed
Pope John Paul II - the 110th Pope since his prophecy, as "De Labore Solis" or
"The labor of the Sun". Pope John Paul II was born on 18th May, 1920, the day
when a Solar Eclipse took place. His burial was set on 8th April, 2005 and on
that day a Solar Eclipse took place once again, making the prophecy of Malachy
more meaningful. The next Pope, the 111th and the penultimate, was termed "The
Glory of Olive" by Malachy. "Peter the Roman" coming after him, would be the
last Pope, during whose time, the world would come to an end. Many say that the
original prophecy did not mention "Peter the Roman" and his name was inserted
afterwards and that "The Glory of the Olive" would be the last Pope. This
prophecy was fulfilled (or made to fulfill) by Cardinal Ratzinger, who after
his election as Pope took the name "Pope Benedict
XVI". St. Benedict started the order of Benedictines or "Olivetans", as they
are popularly known. However, if we go by the prophecies of Abbott "Merlin"
Joachim, St. Malachy's prophecy would signify the deeds during his Papacy,
rather than the name he takes. There are some contradictions in our
understanding of the prophecies of St. Malachy and those of Nostradamus. But
many prophecies, including those of Nostradamus speak of a "Great Pope"
reigning after the war along with the "Great Monarch". Nostradamus says in V.56
- Through the death of a very old Pope will be elected a Roman of good age. It
will be said of him that he weakens the (Holy) Seat, but he will hold it long
and with stinging effort. This quatrain may refer to the election of an aged
Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, after the death of a very old Pope
Following the death of Pope John Paul II., Joseph Ratzinger, aged 78 was
elected Pope Benedict XVI. He was one of the oldest Popes in history at the
time of
election. Criticized by many within the Church as fundamentalist and divisive,
Nostradamus seems to say that this Pope would reign for a long time inspite of
the criticism and would run the affairs of the Church with a strong hand.
There are numerous prophecies on Earth Changes occurring before or during the
war. Notable are the visions of Edgar Cayce in this respect. It is predicted
that the US coastline from Los Angeles to San Francisco would break up and sink
into the sea following a huge earthquake, resulting in the death of millions.
Several other areas all over the world would sink into the sea, including Japan
and new lands would rise from the sea in many places. Edgar Cayce said that
Atlantis, located near the Bimini Islands would rise from the sea. The weather
would also change drastically in many areas of the world. We are already
experiencing changes in the global weather pattern, the last decade being the
warmest in the recorded history.
