Nostradamus will be remembered
in the annals of history,

00:01:37,103 --> 00:01:39,793
firstly, as a prophet and seer.
13
00:01:40,172 --> 00:01:45,000
Others will remember him as
a con-artist, thief, and liar.

As is ever the case, it is
often a matter of belief.

Welcome to the world of
the world's most famous
and infamous prophet.
16
00:02:13,448 --> 00:02:15,655
Welcome to Nostradamus.
17
00:02:25,931 --> 00:02:30,137
Nostradamus was a
physician who believed
he could predict the future.
18
00:02:30,689 --> 00:02:34,310
He published these
predictions in the prophecies.
19
00:02:44,413 --> 00:02:48,206
Some believe they
have or will come true.
20
00:02:48,241 --> 00:02:54,206
Others believe that they are
the ramblings of a madman or
even a method of making money.
21
00:03:06,206 --> 00:03:09,034
He was born Michel de Nostredame
22
00:03:09,068 --> 00:03:12,586
in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence,
France in 1503.
23
00:03:24,068 --> 00:03:26,206
He was one of nine children.
24
00:03:27,034 --> 00:03:32,724
His parents were Reynière
de St-Rémy and her husband
Jaume de Nostredame
25
00:03:33,620 --> 00:03:37,172
who was a grain dealer and
a notary of Jewish descent.
26
00:03:47,482 --> 00:03:52,241
The family name was altered
when his grandfather
converted to Catholicism
27
00:03:52,275 --> 00:03:53,862
to avoid persecution.
28
00:04:05,793 --> 00:04:11,896
We know very little about his
childhood other than he seems
to have been fairly intelligent
29
00:04:11,931 --> 00:04:13,551
and did well in school.
30
00:04:26,137 --> 00:04:30,000
He learned Latin, Greek,
Hebrew, and mathematics,
31
00:04:30,034 --> 00:04:33,517
and some believe he was taught
ancient Jewish mythology
32
00:04:33,551 --> 00:04:35,827
and astrology
by his grandfather.
33
00:04:46,137 --> 00:04:49,862
It is said he studied medicine
and became a doctor.
34
00:04:50,689 --> 00:04:54,896
The story goes that
he treated plague victims
in France and Italy.
35
00:04:55,448 --> 00:05:00,137
The tale gets more interesting
when we read that he had
a kind of psychic awakening
36
00:05:00,172 --> 00:05:03,310
and started to practice
the occult and astrology.
37
00:05:15,413 --> 00:05:18,724
Soon he was making
predictions about the future,
38
00:05:19,344 --> 00:05:21,448
but his journey
into the mystical world
39
00:05:21,482 --> 00:05:27,793
begins at the age of 14 when
he entered the University
of Avignon to study medicine.
40
00:05:38,344 --> 00:05:43,448
After only one year he was
forced to leave because of
an outbreak of the plague.
41
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:59,034
He claims that he decided
to travel across the
country at this time
42
00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:02,517
seeking out cures and
working as an apothecary.
43
00:06:12,620 --> 00:06:19,344
By 1522 he was once
again back in university, this
time it was in Montpellier
44
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:21,793
to try and finish his
doctorate in medicine.
45
00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:36,551
The Catholic priests in
authority didn't like his
interest in astrology
46
00:06:36,586 --> 00:06:40,896
and his previous work
as an apothecary and
so he was dismissed.
47
00:06:53,034 --> 00:06:58,413
Other accounts state
that he in fact did finish
his doctorate in 1525,
48
00:06:58,448 --> 00:07:03,000
but this part of the
tale is very sketchy
and not to be trusted.
49
00:07:18,482 --> 00:07:23,793
It was at this time of
reinvention that he changed
his name to Nostradamus
50
00:07:23,827 --> 00:07:29,310
in place of Nostredame
and let this be a point on
the road of this man's life
51
00:07:29,931 --> 00:07:32,344
that he did reinvent himself.
52
00:07:32,724 --> 00:07:35,241
In fact, he created himself.
53
00:07:35,655 --> 00:07:38,655
He wrote his own biography
as he moved along
54
00:07:39,103 --> 00:07:41,896
and so be careful of what
you are told about the man.
55
00:07:55,103 --> 00:08:00,689
Historians often dismiss 99
percent of the tales that can
be found on the Internet.
56
00:08:08,172 --> 00:08:12,551
For the next few years,
Nostradamus traveled
throughout France and Italy.
57
00:08:13,172 --> 00:08:17,655
We are led to believe
that he wandered around
treating the people of plague.
58
00:08:29,758 --> 00:08:34,241
Instead of the usual
bloodletting mercury-poisoned
potions,
59
00:08:34,275 --> 00:08:40,379
we are told that this
clever half doctor instead
introduced hygiene controls
60
00:08:40,413 --> 00:08:43,793
and the removal of infected
corpses from the streets.
61
00:08:57,827 --> 00:09:02,482
He invented a rose pill which
was a lozenge made of rosehips
62
00:09:02,517 --> 00:09:05,275
which is now known
to be high in vitamin C
63
00:09:05,896 --> 00:09:09,275
which may have aided those
with minor plague symptoms.
64
00:09:19,965 --> 00:09:25,034
Through the use of
this lozenge, hygiene,
low-fat diets, and fresh air,
65
00:09:25,068 --> 00:09:29,517
Nostradamus made a
name for himself as a
kind of miracle doctor.
66
00:09:40,068 --> 00:09:46,206
Soon the money started to roll
in from the citizens of Provence
who appreciated his skills.
67
00:09:56,724 --> 00:10:01,517
In 1531 he was invited
to work with a leading
scholar of the time,
68
00:10:01,551 --> 00:10:05,793
Jules-César Scaliger in Agen
in Southwestern France.
69
00:10:17,241 --> 00:10:21,275
There he married, and in the
next few years had two children.
70
00:10:21,310 --> 00:10:27,586
In 1534, his wife and children
died presumably of the plague
71
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:30,931
while he was travelling on
a medical mission to Italy.
72
00:10:40,137 --> 00:10:46,034
Not being able to save his wife
and children caused him to fall
out of favor in the community,
73
00:10:46,068 --> 00:10:48,206
and with his patron, Scaliger.
74
00:10:57,724 --> 00:11:04,241
By 1538, he was being accused
of heresy and ordered to appear
before the Catholic Inquisition,
75
00:11:04,931 --> 00:11:12,137
and so he duly escaped to Italy,
Greece, and Turkey for a few
years to let the heat dissipate.
76
00:11:24,413 --> 00:11:29,275
During his travels to the
ancient mystery schools, it
is believed Nostradamus
77
00:11:29,310 --> 00:11:31,586
experienced a psychic awakening.
78
00:11:32,172 --> 00:11:36,827
One of the legends of
Nostradamus says that
during his travels in Italy
79
00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:42,896
he came upon a group of
Franciscan monks, identifying
one as the future Pope.
80
00:11:43,275 --> 00:11:49,896
The monk called Felice
Peretti was ordained
Pope Sixtus V in 1585,
81
00:11:50,344 --> 00:11:53,103
fulfilling the prediction
of Nostradamus.
82
00:12:08,482 --> 00:12:12,241
He was soon pretty sure
he'd escape the clutches
of the inquisition
83
00:12:12,758 --> 00:12:20,241
and so returned to France where
in 1547 he settled down in his
hometown of Salon-de-Provence.
84
00:12:31,862 --> 00:12:37,379
He then proceeded to cleverly
marry a wealthy widow
called Anne Ponsarde.
85
00:12:37,862 --> 00:12:42,689
They had six children together,
and he published two
books on medical science.
86
00:12:42,724 --> 00:12:44,241
Things were looking good.
87
00:12:54,862 --> 00:12:59,896
It didn't take long for him
to move more and more
away from medical science
88
00:12:59,931 --> 00:13:02,689
and towards the
world of the occult.
89
00:13:12,724 --> 00:13:16,965
The story goes that
he would spend many
hours alone in his study
90
00:13:17,482 --> 00:13:24,482
staring into a bowl of clear
water whereupon he received
his visions of future events.
91
00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:39,862
By 1550, he had completed
his first almanac of prophecies
92
00:13:39,896 --> 00:13:42,827
based upon his
visions and astrology.
93
00:13:51,862 --> 00:13:56,620
He was in fact cashing
in on one of the most
popular genres at the time.
94
00:13:57,068 --> 00:14:01,517
Almanacs were used
for all manner of things
from farmers and merchants
95
00:14:01,551 --> 00:14:03,724
to just pure entertainment.
96
00:14:12,931 --> 00:14:19,344
His book was very well received,
and fame of this amazing mystic
spread rapidly across France.
97
00:14:28,172 --> 00:14:29,655
And so he wrote more.
98
00:14:30,206 --> 00:14:35,206
By 1554, his focus was almost
entirely on the prophecies,
99
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:39,551
and he decided to write a
grand opus entitled Centuries.
100
00:14:47,379 --> 00:14:52,034
The plan was for 10 volumes
and to contain 100 predictions
101
00:14:52,068 --> 00:14:55,000
forecasting the
next 2,000 years.
102
00:15:02,896 --> 00:15:06,862
In 1555, he published
The Prophecies
103
00:15:06,896 --> 00:15:10,655
which was a huge
collection of his major
long-term predictions.
104
00:15:19,931 --> 00:15:23,344
He claimed that the obscure
nature of his prophecies
105
00:15:23,379 --> 00:15:27,275
was in order to avoid
the scrutiny of the
Catholic Church.
106
00:15:34,068 --> 00:15:38,862
He wrote them in what
are known as quatrains
or four-line verses.
107
00:15:42,448 --> 00:15:48,344
He mixed in Greek, Latin,
Italian, and Provencal to
confuse things even more.
108
00:15:55,241 --> 00:15:58,758
They were a kind of clever
16th century puzzle book
109
00:15:58,793 --> 00:16:02,000
that allowed readers to see
almost anything they wanted to,
110
00:16:02,448 --> 00:16:04,482
a win-win situation.
111
00:16:17,379 --> 00:16:19,344
There were many accusations.
112
00:16:20,103 --> 00:16:22,896
Some said he was the
servant of the devil,
113
00:16:23,482 --> 00:16:27,413
and others said
he was either a fraud or simply
insane,
114
00:16:28,068 --> 00:16:30,206
but his followers
grew and grew.
115
00:16:41,655 --> 00:16:46,482
Thousands started to
believe that his prophecies
was spiritually inspired.
116
00:16:51,206 --> 00:16:56,620
Soon the elite across
Europe began to demand
his books and presence.
117
00:17:02,551 --> 00:17:07,379
Catherine de Medici, who was the
wife of King Henry II of France
118
00:17:07,413 --> 00:17:10,689
counted herself amongst
his greatest followers.
119
00:17:21,586 --> 00:17:27,034
His 1555 almanac
hinted at a great threat
to the royal family,
120
00:17:27,068 --> 00:17:32,344
and so he was summoned
to appear before Catherine
in Paris to explain himself.
121
00:17:37,793 --> 00:17:42,517
He dutifully explained
and proceeded to draw
up astrological charts
122
00:17:42,551 --> 00:17:44,000
for the royal children.
123
00:17:47,172 --> 00:17:52,413
He was soon made royal
counselor and physician
to King Henry's court.
124
00:18:01,586 --> 00:18:06,482
Nostradamus also explained
to the Royals that one of
his previous predictions
125
00:18:06,517 --> 00:18:10,965
from the book, Centuries I,
told of a young lion
126
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,862
who would overcome the older
one on the field of battle.
127
00:18:28,172 --> 00:18:31,413
The young lion would pierce
the older one's eye.
128
00:18:31,827 --> 00:18:37,275
He explained that in truth
he wanted the King to
avoid a jousting match.
129
00:18:37,896 --> 00:18:42,965
Alas! Three years later,
King Henry, then 41 years old,
130
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,965
died when jousting
and a lance pierced his
eye and entered his brain.
131
00:18:48,344 --> 00:18:52,793
He died an agonizing death
ten days later from infection.
132
00:19:07,620 --> 00:19:12,206
But just how did Nostradamus
manage to come up
with these predictions?
133
00:19:12,241 --> 00:19:17,551
Well, he claimed that
he used what is known
as judicial astrology.
134
00:19:18,275 --> 00:19:24,551
This is when future events can
supposedly be predicted by
calculating the relationships
135
00:19:24,586 --> 00:19:27,241
between stellar bodies
and the earth.
136
00:19:42,965 --> 00:19:48,724
He said he used classical
sources such as Plutarch
and medieval chronicles.
137
00:19:52,931 --> 00:19:59,034
This may, in fact, be true
because modern historians claim
that what Nostradamus really did
138
00:19:59,068 --> 00:20:04,172
was to steal ancient
end-of-the-world prophesies
from places such as the Bible,
139
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:11,206
and then using his astrological
readings of the past he simply
projected them forward.
140
00:20:25,413 --> 00:20:29,896
Professional astrologers
actually said he was incompetent
141
00:20:30,241 --> 00:20:32,586
and that such a
method would not work.
142
00:20:37,965 --> 00:20:42,655
His skills, however,
did not help him with
his own gout and arthritis,
143
00:20:42,689 --> 00:20:46,275
and in the last few years of
his life he developed dropsy.
144
00:20:46,862 --> 00:20:52,551
This is known as edema
and it simply means that fluid
accumulates beneath the skin
145
00:20:52,586 --> 00:20:55,655
and cavities of the body
and could cause heart failure.
146
00:20:56,068 --> 00:21:01,758
In June 1566, he knew
the end was closing
in and drew up a will
147
00:21:02,103 --> 00:21:04,931
leaving almost everything
to his wife and children.
148
00:21:15,827 --> 00:21:21,448
He told his secretary, "You will
not find me alive at sunrise."
149
00:21:26,655 --> 00:21:31,551
The next morning, he was
reportedly found dead lying
on the floor next to his bed.
150
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,862
His life's work had a profound
effect on the people of Europe.
151
00:21:41,206 --> 00:21:46,034
They mainly dealt with
war, disasters, death,
plagues, earthquakes,
152
00:21:46,068 --> 00:21:48,000
floods, droughts and murder.
153
00:22:00,068 --> 00:22:04,310
Thousands of followers
across the centuries firmly
believe that Nostradamus
154
00:22:04,344 --> 00:22:08,689
created the most accurate
prophecies of any
mystic throughout time.
155
00:22:12,517 --> 00:22:15,000
Others say he was
nothing but a charlatan.
156
00:22:20,344 --> 00:22:25,965
It is believed he predicted
the French Revolution, the rise
of Adolf Hitler and Napoleon,
157
00:22:26,655 --> 00:22:30,689
the attacks of September the
11th, and even the atomic bomb.
158
00:22:45,586 --> 00:22:48,137
The beauty of the
vagueness of his writings
159
00:22:48,172 --> 00:22:51,000
means that almost anything
can be attributed to it.
160
00:22:51,344 --> 00:22:55,034
To this day, the works are
being researched by many
161
00:22:55,068 --> 00:22:57,689
to see if they can
discover future events.
162
00:23:08,034 --> 00:23:13,103
Looking back over them,
it is child's play to attribute
events to past writings
163
00:23:13,137 --> 00:23:15,517
because they can be
taken in so many ways.
164
00:23:27,827 --> 00:23:34,275
However, regardless of our
21st century analytical science
let us ask the question,
165
00:23:34,896 --> 00:23:40,827
"Is it possible that a mystic
from the 16th century could
somehow look into the future?"
166
00:23:41,482 --> 00:23:44,931
He did, in fact, make
over 1,000 predictions
167
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:49,413
and some followers
claim over half of these
have already come true.
168
00:24:02,172 --> 00:24:06,655
It's now time to investigate
some of these to
seek out the truth.
169
00:24:11,241 --> 00:24:16,482
We turn to the most famous,
the prediction of the death
of King Henry II of France.
170
00:24:17,206 --> 00:24:19,137
Here's what Nostradamus wrote.
171
00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:26,448
"The young lion will overcome
the older one on the field
of combat in a single battle.
172
00:24:27,068 --> 00:24:30,275
He will pierce his eyes
through a golden cage.
173
00:24:31,103 --> 00:24:33,000
Two wounds made one.
174
00:24:33,413 --> 00:24:36,000
Then he dies a cruel death."
175
00:24:50,275 --> 00:24:54,517
As we have already seen,
Henry was warned
not to joust, but he did.
176
00:24:55,068 --> 00:25:00,896
King Henry II, as the older
lion, faced the Comte de
Montgomery, as the young lion.
177
00:25:01,241 --> 00:25:04,137
Both combatants had
lions on their shields.
178
00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:09,241
In the final pass,
Montgomery thrust his
lance through the King's visor.
179
00:25:09,275 --> 00:25:16,137
The lance split into two shots
or, as Nostradamus said,
the two wounds made one.
180
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,344
One went through Henry's eye
and one through his temple.
181
00:25:20,862 --> 00:25:23,827
Ten days later,
the old lion was dead.
182
00:25:42,068 --> 00:25:45,655
So what about another
famous prediction, the
Great Fire of London?
183
00:25:46,068 --> 00:25:48,000
Here's what Nostradamus said.
184
00:25:48,655 --> 00:25:55,275
"The blood of the just will be
demanded of London,
burnt by fire in the year '66.
185
00:25:55,724 --> 00:26:02,551
The ancient lady will fall from
her higher place, and many of
the same sect will be killed."
186
00:26:18,758 --> 00:26:20,310
Here's what's happened.
187
00:26:20,344 --> 00:26:26,724
In 1666 on September
the 2nd, a small fire started
in a bakery in London.
188
00:26:27,241 --> 00:26:32,896
The result was a massive
fire that lasted for three
days and consumed the city.
189
00:26:33,448 --> 00:26:37,551
What exactly the blood of the
just means? Nobody's sure.
190
00:26:38,103 --> 00:26:41,137
Some believe it refers to
the millions of rats that died.
191
00:26:41,655 --> 00:26:45,689
By the way, it seems a pretty
clever and accurate prediction.
192
00:27:01,586 --> 00:27:06,137
An even bigger and far-reaching
prediction is that of the
French Revolution.
193
00:27:06,689 --> 00:27:08,413
Here's what Nostradamus said.
194
00:27:09,137 --> 00:27:13,862
"From the enslaved populace,
songs, chants and demands
195
00:27:14,379 --> 00:27:17,655
while princes and lords are
held captive in prisons.
196
00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:24,000
These will, in the future,
by headless idiots be
received as divine prayers."
197
00:27:41,034 --> 00:27:48,137
Well, the enslaved presence did
rise up with chants and demands,
indeed, they even wrote songs.
198
00:27:48,724 --> 00:27:50,482
They took control of Paris
199
00:27:50,517 --> 00:27:54,862
because they had simply
had enough of the way the
aristocracy were treating them.
200
00:27:55,413 --> 00:28:00,206
These princes and lords
were held captive and did
have their heads taken off
201
00:28:00,241 --> 00:28:01,827
with the infamous guillotine.
202
00:28:06,103 --> 00:28:11,068
However, much of this
could relate to many
periods of revolts in history,
203
00:28:11,103 --> 00:28:13,448
and there is no
mention of specifics.
204
00:28:33,793 --> 00:28:38,517
So what about that famous
Hitler prediction? Here's
what Nostradamus said.
205
00:28:39,310 --> 00:28:44,689
"From the depths of the west
of Europe, a young child
would be born of poor people.
206
00:28:45,137 --> 00:28:49,413
He, who by his tongue,
will seduce a great troop.
207
00:28:49,448 --> 00:28:52,586
His fame will increase
towards the realm of the east.
208
00:28:53,172 --> 00:28:56,586
Beasts ferocious with
hunger will cross the rivers.
209
00:28:56,620 --> 00:29:00,862
The greater part of
the battlefield will
be against Hister.
210
00:29:01,344 --> 00:29:04,724
Into a cage of iron will
the great one be drawn.
211
00:29:04,758 --> 00:29:07,931
When the child of Germany
observes nothing."
212
00:29:26,896 --> 00:29:28,517
Well, this is quite different.
213
00:29:28,551 --> 00:29:30,793
There are plenty of
specifics to play with.
214
00:29:31,172 --> 00:29:35,172
What happened in history
and does it relate
to the prediction?
215
00:29:35,793 --> 00:29:42,344
Hitler was in fact born on
April the 20th, 1889 in Western
Europe to very poor parents.
216
00:29:42,793 --> 00:29:46,965
Nostradamus said he
would be from the depths
of the west of Europe.
217
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,448
A young child
born of poor people.
218
00:29:49,931 --> 00:29:51,310
Well, that's pretty close.
219
00:29:57,931 --> 00:30:03,413
Hitler moved to Germany after
World War I, and did in fact
rise to be a legendary leader
220
00:30:03,448 --> 00:30:05,310
through his amazing
methods of speaking.
221
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,137
Hundreds of experts in
propaganda and marketing
222
00:30:26,172 --> 00:30:28,655
have studied this clever
hypnotizing methods
223
00:30:29,310 --> 00:30:33,068
so when Nostradamus
said "by his tongue will
seduce a great troop,"
224
00:30:33,103 --> 00:30:34,896
he was pretty damn close.
225
00:30:40,655 --> 00:30:45,275
When Nostradamus said
his fame will increase
towards the realm of the east,
226
00:30:46,068 --> 00:30:51,034
was he really talking about
how Hitler created a massive
alliance with Japan?
227
00:31:07,413 --> 00:31:11,827
When Nostradamus said
"beasts ferocious with
hunger will cross rivers,"
228
00:31:11,862 --> 00:31:16,137
was he really talking about
the way the beasts of the
German army crossed river
229
00:31:16,172 --> 00:31:20,000
after river to invade and
conquer France and
most of Europe?
230
00:31:31,310 --> 00:31:36,413
When Nostradamus said "the
greater part of the battlefield
will be against Hister,"
231
00:31:36,862 --> 00:31:41,655
was he really talking about
how the rest of the world
created a grand alliance
232
00:31:41,689 --> 00:31:44,310
to take him and his
Nazi Party down?
233
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,241
Apart from the obvious
misspelling of Hister, this is
a pretty clever set of links
234
00:32:05,275 --> 00:32:08,793
to something that Nostradamus
could never have known about.
235
00:32:09,241 --> 00:32:12,827
In fact, Hister was a name
for the River Danube
236
00:32:12,862 --> 00:32:17,103
and Hitler was born on
the banks of the River
Danube in Austria.
237
00:32:33,379 --> 00:32:36,793
It is also claimed that
Nostradamus predicted
the atomic bomb.
238
00:32:37,379 --> 00:32:38,620
Here's what he said.
239
00:32:39,206 --> 00:32:42,344
"Near the gates and
within two cities,
240
00:32:42,896 --> 00:32:46,896
there will be scourges the like
of which was never seen.
241
00:32:47,482 --> 00:32:54,965
Famine within plague, people
put out by steel, crying to the
great immortal God for relief."
242
00:32:57,793 --> 00:33:00,068
[male voice] The day
of doom is coming!
243
00:33:00,793 --> 00:33:02,965
Your blood will turn to white.
244
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,172
Your face will turn to green.
245
00:33:05,793 --> 00:33:10,206
Your eyeballs will
pop like a mushroom.
246
00:33:11,068 --> 00:33:14,241
[narrator] How can this
really have anything to do
with the atomic bomb?
247
00:33:15,310 --> 00:33:21,206
Well, in 1945, the USA
did in fact dropped two
atomic bombs on Japan,
248
00:33:21,241 --> 00:33:24,896
in fact two cities,
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
249
00:33:25,448 --> 00:33:27,000
So this explains the line
250
00:33:27,655 --> 00:33:30,482
"near the gates
within two cities."
251
00:33:31,379 --> 00:33:37,344
"The scourges the likes of which
have never been seen" obviously
could mean a super weapon
252
00:33:37,379 --> 00:33:38,724
such as the atom bomb.
253
00:33:40,551 --> 00:33:45,068
Indeed, thousands survived
the horrendous ordeal and were
crying to the great immortal God
254
00:33:45,103 --> 00:33:48,344
for relief due to their
radiation poisoning.
255
00:33:59,827 --> 00:34:05,103
Even further into the future
for Nostradamus were the
murders of John F. Kennedy
256
00:34:05,137 --> 00:34:06,862
and his brother Bobby Kennedy.
257
00:34:07,517 --> 00:34:13,000
Many saw this golden family
as modern-day royalty coming
to the rescue of the USA
258
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:16,758
and the world in a time
of Cold War and fear.
259
00:34:17,310 --> 00:34:19,862
They were truly seen
by many as great.
260
00:34:20,551 --> 00:34:22,586
Here's what
Nostradamus predicted.
261
00:34:23,413 --> 00:34:27,448
"The great man will be
struck down in the
day by a thunderbolt,
262
00:34:28,068 --> 00:34:31,862
an evil deed foretold
by the bearer of a petition."
263
00:34:32,551 --> 00:34:36,241
According to the prediction,
another falls at nighttime.
264
00:34:36,620 --> 00:34:40,862
Conflict at Reims, London
and a pestilence in Tuscany.
265
00:34:54,482 --> 00:34:59,103
Well, the great man was
struck down after receiving
many death threats.
266
00:34:59,137 --> 00:35:01,000
Deeds that were foretold.
267
00:35:01,586 --> 00:35:08,137
On November the 22nd, 1963
JFK was gunned down
as if by a thunderbolt.
268
00:35:08,724 --> 00:35:13,275
Five years later, Bobby Kennedy
was killed just after midnight
269
00:35:13,310 --> 00:35:17,137
or as Nostradamus said
"another falls at nighttime."
270
00:35:39,724 --> 00:35:43,275
The date September
the 11th, 2001
271
00:35:43,310 --> 00:35:49,000
is now ingrained in the minds
of all modern people, the
day the terrorists struck.
272
00:35:49,793 --> 00:35:53,241
But did you know many
believe Nostradamus
predicted the attacks?
273
00:35:53,862 --> 00:35:55,137
Here's what he said,
274
00:35:55,965 --> 00:35:59,034
"earth shaking fire from
the center of the earth
275
00:35:59,068 --> 00:36:01,896
will cause tremors
around the new city.
276
00:36:02,620 --> 00:36:05,931
Two great rocks will
war for a long time.
277
00:36:06,310 --> 00:36:09,862
Then Arethusa will
redden a new river."
278
00:36:23,034 --> 00:36:25,827
This is claimed to
actually be about 9/11.
279
00:36:26,379 --> 00:36:30,793
In fact, it is slightly
twisted by modern
conspiracy theories.
280
00:36:31,137 --> 00:36:36,068
The original quatrain
reads "sea of fire
at the world center,
281
00:36:36,482 --> 00:36:38,724
the tower of the
new city will tremble.
282
00:36:39,137 --> 00:36:45,620
Two great blocks will be at war
for a long time, then Arethusa
will redden a new river."
283
00:36:46,620 --> 00:36:49,586
Yes, two towers were
taken out by terrorists
284
00:36:49,620 --> 00:36:52,827
or as the followers believe
the two great rocks.
285
00:36:53,413 --> 00:36:57,103
The World Trade Center
is thought to have something
to do with the statement,
286
00:36:57,137 --> 00:36:59,275
"fire from the
center of the earth."
287
00:37:00,206 --> 00:37:06,310
The problem here is when
Nostradamus wrote these, there
was a new city and it was Napoli
288
00:37:06,344 --> 00:37:11,655
which lies between two great
and powerfully dangerous
rocks known as volcanoes.
289
00:37:12,206 --> 00:37:18,344
He was in fact simply talking
about earthquakes hitting
Napoli as they often have.
290
00:37:19,068 --> 00:37:22,448
This often causes the
sea to rise and redden.
291
00:37:22,896 --> 00:37:28,448
Arethusa was in fact
a Greek water nymph that
would rise, nothing more.
292
00:37:39,896 --> 00:37:43,172
However, while we're on
the subject of earthquakes,
293
00:37:43,206 --> 00:37:47,931
there is in fact a prediction
from Nostradamus about
a coming earthquake
294
00:37:47,965 --> 00:37:51,620
that many believe predicts a
terrible disaster in California.
295
00:37:52,034 --> 00:37:53,379
Here's what he said,
296
00:37:55,034 --> 00:37:59,896
"the sloping park, great
calamity, through the lands
of the west and Lombardy,
297
00:38:00,482 --> 00:38:03,344
the fire and the ship
plague in captivity,
298
00:38:03,379 --> 00:38:06,724
Mercury in
Sagittarius, Saturn fading."
299
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:14,793
This may not yet have come true.
300
00:38:14,827 --> 00:38:17,931
Followers have to
decide what it may mean.
301
00:38:17,965 --> 00:38:22,965
The "sloping park, great
calamity" is thought to
literally mean earthquake,
302
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,482
sloping earth causing calamity.
303
00:38:30,965 --> 00:38:34,310
"The lands to the west" is
thought to mean California
304
00:38:34,344 --> 00:38:38,517
although why Lombardy in France
is mentioned, we do not know.
305
00:38:52,068 --> 00:38:56,620
The fact remains that this
could simply be yet another
one of the 1,000 predictions
306
00:38:56,655 --> 00:39:01,448
that are so obscure they
could mean almost anything
from any period in history.
307
00:39:05,793 --> 00:39:10,034
Nostradamus explains
that the reason his
prophecies are so obscure
308
00:39:10,068 --> 00:39:13,206
was to avoid persecution
from the inquisition.
309
00:39:13,896 --> 00:39:18,965
He also gives this as the
reasoning why the quatrains
are not in chronological order.
310
00:39:23,310 --> 00:39:25,413
Nostradamus left his predictions
311
00:39:25,448 --> 00:39:29,482
in the form of almost
1,000 four-line verses
called quatrains,
312
00:39:29,517 --> 00:39:32,448
and a collection of six-line
verses called sestets.
313
00:39:33,068 --> 00:39:36,103
The prophesies are not
sequential by date
314
00:39:36,137 --> 00:39:41,068
which makes it easier to
attribute any of them to any
tale you want from any period.
315
00:39:45,448 --> 00:39:50,206
Although there are many
coincidences, it does not
prove accurate prophecy.
316
00:39:56,241 --> 00:39:59,482
There are no accuracies,
no specific dates,
317
00:39:59,517 --> 00:40:03,620
no specific places,
nothing specific actually.
318
00:40:08,275 --> 00:40:13,103
Nostradamus concealed
his meanings in symbols,
anagrams, mythology,
319
00:40:13,137 --> 00:40:17,103
and mixed it up with all the
use of several old languages.
320
00:40:22,620 --> 00:40:27,586
He combined three languages,
mixed it all together with
symbolism and cryptic messages,
321
00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:29,827
and then put them
in four-line verses.
322
00:40:35,137 --> 00:40:39,310
However, followers
repeat that Nostradamus
had to hide his meanings
323
00:40:39,344 --> 00:40:42,931
because of the Catholic Church,
but he did not use magic,
324
00:40:42,965 --> 00:40:48,034
and was followed and
patronized by the powerful
elite and thus he was protected.
325
00:40:48,068 --> 00:40:49,896
He was not prosecuted.
326
00:40:49,931 --> 00:40:52,000
He could have
been more specific.
327
00:40:58,448 --> 00:41:01,517
Followers also say that
his visions into the future
328
00:41:01,551 --> 00:41:05,275
most have been so confusing
to a man of the 16th century.
329
00:41:05,931 --> 00:41:11,034
Seeing the technology of
the 21st century would have
confused him greatly they say.
330
00:41:16,310 --> 00:41:20,517
He would not have had
the language to explain
airplanes, for instance.
331
00:41:25,793 --> 00:41:29,517
In short, his use of language
was chaotic and obscure.
332
00:41:30,172 --> 00:41:33,931
He hid locations and people
in symbolism and anagrams.
333
00:41:34,551 --> 00:41:39,586
He's referenced astrological
readings that most could
not even understand
334
00:41:39,620 --> 00:41:42,310
and thus confused
people even more.
335
00:41:42,896 --> 00:41:47,724
In addition to this,
astrological readings are
by their very nature vague.
336
00:41:48,172 --> 00:41:50,379
Vagueness upon vagueness.
337
00:41:56,344 --> 00:42:01,517
However, we have seen some
the past events that Nostradamus
supposedly predicted.
338
00:42:02,068 --> 00:42:08,275
All their prophecies for our
future, there are indeed, and
one of them is quite scary
339
00:42:08,310 --> 00:42:11,482
and speaks of the coming
three anti-Christs.
340
00:42:19,689 --> 00:42:26,206
Nostradamus speaks of three
powerful and tyrannical leaders
that he calls anti-Christs.
341
00:42:26,241 --> 00:42:29,655
He said they would lead their
people through range of terror
342
00:42:29,689 --> 00:42:33,206
after first seducing them
with promises of greatness.
343
00:42:39,103 --> 00:42:42,620
Napoleon is thought
to have been the first
of these anti-Christs.
344
00:42:42,655 --> 00:42:44,896
Here's what he said
about Napoleon.
345
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,965
"An emperor shall be born
near Italy who shall
cost the empire dear.
346
00:42:51,586 --> 00:42:54,896
They shall say, with what
people who keeps company.
347
00:42:55,241 --> 00:42:58,103
He shall be found less
a prince than a butcher."
348
00:42:58,689 --> 00:43:03,000
Napoleon was indeed
considered a butcher
even by his supporters,
349
00:43:03,034 --> 00:43:07,793
and he did cost the French
Empire dearly in both
manpower and political strength.
350
00:43:12,275 --> 00:43:15,137
From a simple soldier
he will rise to the empire,
351
00:43:15,965 --> 00:43:19,000
from the short robe
he will attain the long.
352
00:43:19,517 --> 00:43:22,000
"Great swarms
of bees shall rise."
353
00:43:22,689 --> 00:43:27,413
Amazingly, when Napoleon
became emperor, he took on
the symbol of the beehive
354
00:43:27,896 --> 00:43:29,379
on his imperial crest.
355
00:43:30,103 --> 00:43:35,103
Was he a simple soldier?
Well, he was born on
the Island of Corsica,
356
00:43:35,482 --> 00:43:40,034
which followers say is an
unlikely place for a future
emperor to emerge.
357
00:43:40,896 --> 00:43:46,068
Napoleon destroyed Moscow
and some believe that is what
Nostradamus was pointing to
358
00:43:46,103 --> 00:43:49,931
when he wrote "a great troop
shall come through Russia,
359
00:43:49,965 --> 00:43:52,413
the destroyer
shall ruin the city."
360
00:43:57,379 --> 00:44:01,551
Napoleon's forces
in fact advanced too
far into the country
361
00:44:01,586 --> 00:44:03,655
and got trapped
in the Russian winter.
362
00:44:04,103 --> 00:44:07,724
Napoleon had to retreat, and
this is what Nostradamus said.
363
00:44:08,206 --> 00:44:11,068
"The rear guard
will make defense.
364
00:44:11,103 --> 00:44:14,241
The exhausting ones will
die in the white territory."
365
00:44:17,931 --> 00:44:19,689
[man] From Red Square
to the battleground.
366
00:44:19,724 --> 00:44:24,448
[narrator] He also said, "The
great empire will soon be
exchanged for a small place
367
00:44:24,482 --> 00:44:26,586
which will soon begin to grow.
368
00:44:26,620 --> 00:44:32,827
A small place of tiny area
in the middle of which he will
come to lay down his scepter.
369
00:44:33,310 --> 00:44:36,482
The captive prince,
conquered, is sent to Elba.
370
00:44:37,103 --> 00:44:40,310
He will sail across the Gulf
of Genoa to Marseilles.
371
00:44:40,827 --> 00:44:44,620
By a great effort of the
foreign forces he is overcome.
372
00:44:45,206 --> 00:44:50,448
Though he escaped
the fire, his bees yield
blood by the barrel."
373
00:44:54,310 --> 00:44:58,241
Amazingly, Napoleon was exiled
to the small island of Elba
374
00:44:58,275 --> 00:45:01,000
from which he
escaped for 100 days.
375
00:45:01,034 --> 00:45:07,172
After a defeat at Waterloo,
he relinquished all power
for exile on tiny St. Helena.
376
00:45:12,034 --> 00:45:14,034
So that's the first anti-Christ.
377
00:45:14,068 --> 00:45:15,206
Who was the second?
378
00:45:15,724 --> 00:45:19,655
Nostradamus wrote about
"a man stained with murder.
379
00:45:19,689 --> 00:45:22,275
The great enemy
of the human race,
380
00:45:22,724 --> 00:45:28,137
one who was worse
than any who had gone
before bloody and inhuman."
381
00:45:34,241 --> 00:45:39,241
Most followers of Nostradamus
agree that he was
referring to Adolf Hitler.
382
00:45:39,827 --> 00:45:43,379
We have already heard the
following quatrain about Hitler.
383
00:45:43,413 --> 00:45:49,517
"Out of the deepest part of the
west of Europe, from poor people
the young child shall be born,
384
00:45:49,551 --> 00:45:52,896
who with his tongue
shall seduce many people.
385
00:45:52,931 --> 00:45:55,689
His fame shall increase
in the eastern kingdom."
386
00:45:56,448 --> 00:46:00,793
Born to poor parents, powerful
speaker, uniting with Japan,
387
00:46:00,827 --> 00:46:06,310
but Nostradamus also tells
us about Hitler, the other
ways. Here's what he said.
388
00:46:07,103 --> 00:46:09,551
"He shall come to
tyrannize the land.
389
00:46:09,586 --> 00:46:13,517
He shall raise up a hatred
that had long been dormant.
390
00:46:13,896 --> 00:46:16,655
The child of Germany
observes no law.
391
00:46:17,206 --> 00:46:20,379
Cries, and tears,
fire, blood, and battle.
392
00:46:20,793 --> 00:46:25,482
A captain of Germany shall come
to yield himself by false hope
393
00:46:25,517 --> 00:46:29,517
so that his revolt shall
cause great bloodshed."
394
00:46:37,275 --> 00:46:41,275
Anybody who knows the history of
Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party
395
00:46:41,310 --> 00:46:43,241
will now see the similarities.
396
00:46:43,724 --> 00:46:48,034
This child of Germany
seduced his people and
raised a dormant threat.
397
00:46:48,517 --> 00:46:51,551
He did ignore all the
treaties from World War I
398
00:46:51,586 --> 00:46:55,965
or as Nostradamus said,
"the child of Germany
observes no law."
399
00:46:56,448 --> 00:47:00,689
He did raise false hope, and
he did bring great bloodshed.
400
00:47:07,275 --> 00:47:11,827
One thing we know is that
the death of Hitler has
been surrounded in mystery.
401
00:47:11,862 --> 00:47:16,827
Was his body swept away
by the Russians? Was
it completely destroyed?
402
00:47:17,172 --> 00:47:19,655
Did he live and
escape to South America?
403
00:47:20,137 --> 00:47:22,724
Nostradamus supposedly predicted
404
00:47:22,758 --> 00:47:28,172
the rise, life, death, and
uncertainty of the evil Hitler.
405
00:47:28,862 --> 00:47:30,103
Here's what he said.
406
00:47:30,758 --> 00:47:33,620
"Near the Rhine from
the Austrian mountains
407
00:47:34,275 --> 00:47:38,137
will be born a great man
of the people, come too late.
408
00:47:38,172 --> 00:47:43,000
A man who will defend Poland
and Hungary, and whose
fate will never be certain."
409
00:47:50,862 --> 00:47:53,137
So there we have
two anti-Christs.
410
00:47:53,172 --> 00:47:54,620
What about a third?
411
00:47:54,655 --> 00:47:57,965
This evildoer will be more
hideous than the other two.
412
00:47:58,517 --> 00:48:02,379
Firstly, Nostradamus tells us
where this man would emerge.
413
00:48:02,965 --> 00:48:09,344
"Out of the country of Greater
Arabia shall be born a strong
master of Mohammed.
414
00:48:09,379 --> 00:48:12,448
He will enter Europe
wearing a blue turban.
415
00:48:12,827 --> 00:48:17,379
He will be the terror of
mankind, never more horror."
416
00:48:24,275 --> 00:48:29,793
To our modern Western ears,
this sounds like some kind
of terrible Islamic terrorists.
417
00:48:33,655 --> 00:48:37,068
"From Greater Arabia a strong
master of Mohammed
418
00:48:37,103 --> 00:48:40,896
entering Europe and he will
be the terror of mankind."
419
00:48:41,482 --> 00:48:42,620
Scared yet?
420
00:48:48,034 --> 00:48:51,862
Is Nostradamus telling us that
a great man from Greater Arabia
421
00:48:51,896 --> 00:48:54,206
is going to invade
Europe with his army?
422
00:48:54,793 --> 00:49:00,551
But what will be the outcome?
Well, he explains,
"in the year 1999
423
00:49:00,586 --> 00:49:06,000
and seven months,
from the sky will come
the great king of terror.
424
00:49:06,034 --> 00:49:12,482
He will bring back to life
the king of the Mongols;
before and after war reigns."
425
00:49:13,103 --> 00:49:17,000
Of course, there's a problem
here with the date, isn't there?
426
00:49:22,655 --> 00:49:24,310
Well, not necessarily.
427
00:49:24,344 --> 00:49:28,827
In 1999 and seven months
a great terror comes.
428
00:49:29,206 --> 00:49:36,206
Well, the seventh month is
July, and not a lot happened
in 1999 in terrorist circles.
429
00:49:36,724 --> 00:49:42,862
What did happen was
this, the series of massive
terrorist attacks in Russia
430
00:49:42,896 --> 00:49:47,241
killing more than 300 people
and injuring over 1,000.
431
00:49:52,344 --> 00:49:58,034
The official Russian
investigation of the bombings
was completed in 2002
432
00:49:58,068 --> 00:50:02,103
and concluded that all the
bombings were organized and led
433
00:50:02,137 --> 00:50:08,275
by a Russian who remains
at large and ordered two
infamous Islamic warlords
434
00:50:08,310 --> 00:50:10,034
who have since been killed.
435
00:50:15,827 --> 00:50:21,206
Five of those suspects have
been killed, and six have been
convicted by Russian courts
436
00:50:21,241 --> 00:50:23,275
on terrorism-related charges.
437
00:50:27,172 --> 00:50:31,000
However, according
to historians, the bombings
were coordinated
438
00:50:31,034 --> 00:50:35,758
by the Russian state
security services to bring
Putin into the presidency.
439
00:50:36,586 --> 00:50:43,000
Now, this really is ushering
in a period for instability
of the West and the East,
440
00:50:43,034 --> 00:50:49,000
support opposing sides in
the worldwide terrorist scene,
and Putin has been a big player.
441
00:50:55,275 --> 00:51:01,310
Is he the third anti-Christ
helping to bring Arabian
terrorists army into Europe?
442
00:51:06,724 --> 00:51:08,482
According to Nostradamus,
443
00:51:08,517 --> 00:51:13,896
this will all bring about
a third world war that
will last 27 years.
444
00:51:20,965 --> 00:51:25,000
The world will come face to
face with its final destruction.
445
00:51:25,034 --> 00:51:26,413
Here's what he says.
446
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,310
"The sky will burn
at 45 degrees.
447
00:51:30,827 --> 00:51:33,586
Fire approaches
the great new city."
448
00:51:34,206 --> 00:51:39,551
So 45 degrees latitude and
a new city, this is New York.
449
00:51:45,172 --> 00:51:49,655
A great fire will approach
New York City, and
as Nostradamus says,
450
00:51:50,241 --> 00:51:53,482
"by fire he will
destroy their city,
451
00:51:53,517 --> 00:51:58,655
a cold and cruel heart, blood
will pour, mercy to none."
452
00:51:59,068 --> 00:52:01,068
It doesn't sound
too good, does it?
453
00:52:07,068 --> 00:52:09,862
So how does Nostradamus
believe this will all end?
454
00:52:10,448 --> 00:52:13,517
"When those of the
Northern Pole are united,
455
00:52:13,551 --> 00:52:17,034
in the East will be
great fear and dread.
456
00:52:17,068 --> 00:52:20,793
One day, the two great
leaders will be friends.
457
00:52:20,827 --> 00:52:23,482
Their great power
will be seen to grow.
458
00:52:23,965 --> 00:52:27,000
The new land will be at
the height of its power.
459
00:52:27,413 --> 00:52:30,344
To the man of blood,
the number is reported."
460
00:52:31,034 --> 00:52:36,551
So basically, Nostradamus
is telling us there will be a
peace between East and West.
461
00:52:36,965 --> 00:52:40,000
"This new land" is what
they knew as America,
462
00:52:40,034 --> 00:52:43,862
and "the countries
of the Northern Pole"
is quite possibly Russia.
463
00:52:49,137 --> 00:52:54,758
So it seems these two nations
will use terrorism to bring
about a third world war
464
00:52:54,793 --> 00:52:58,965
and then after 27 years a
peace accord will be signed.
465
00:53:05,793 --> 00:53:09,620
Of course, all of this is wide
open to interpretation.
466
00:53:10,172 --> 00:53:14,310
Things just aren't specific,
and we have to make
huge assumptions.
467
00:53:14,862 --> 00:53:18,379
So-called experts have
been doing this for centuries.
468
00:53:24,344 --> 00:53:30,931
Apparently, the world is going
to end in 1666, 1999, 2012,
469
00:53:30,965 --> 00:53:36,827
and now 2096, even
though Nostradamus never
in fact said any of that.
470
00:53:43,965 --> 00:53:47,793
In fact, he said we would
overcome and survive.
471
00:53:48,172 --> 00:53:52,689
He even said that we could
change the course of these
events if we wanted to.
472
00:53:59,551 --> 00:54:01,862
He did predict the
end of the world,
473
00:54:01,896 --> 00:54:08,862
but the dates are argued over,
and could be 3786 or 3797.
474
00:54:16,448 --> 00:54:20,172
Before we get carried away by
all of this, we have to remember
475
00:54:20,206 --> 00:54:24,896
that the man was not at all
what he seemed and that his
prophecies were so vague
476
00:54:24,931 --> 00:54:28,724
they can and have been
twisted and turned
with every passing year.
477
00:54:33,517 --> 00:54:37,344
There is more to Nostradamus
than his published prophecies.
478
00:54:37,379 --> 00:54:41,758
In fact, he wrote letters and
there's one particular letter
479
00:54:41,793 --> 00:54:44,517
he wrote to his
newborn son called Cesar.
480
00:54:49,551 --> 00:54:54,275
In this letter, he wrote
about future events
and the end of times.
481
00:54:58,724 --> 00:55:03,206
He predicted that the world
would go through a
series of great floods.
482
00:55:07,517 --> 00:55:11,862
These floods would end in a
great catastrophe for mankind.
483
00:55:12,310 --> 00:55:15,482
A huge comet storm
would hit planet Earth.
484
00:55:20,689 --> 00:55:22,827
After this, there is nothing.
485
00:55:23,275 --> 00:55:28,482
It's almost as if he's
telling us there will be
no future for mankind.
486
00:55:38,620 --> 00:55:45,068
Never in the history of mankind
has there been a time when
this could possibly come true.
487
00:55:45,689 --> 00:55:47,448
Now is the time.
488
00:55:53,758 --> 00:55:59,103
Humanity has caused such
utter calamity and destruction
on our beautiful planet
489
00:55:59,137 --> 00:56:02,931
that we have in fact
instigated our own death.
490
00:56:09,517 --> 00:56:14,068
We have caused the earth to warm
through our poisonous behavior,
491
00:56:14,103 --> 00:56:17,172
and this is melting the
icebergs of the world.
492
00:56:23,068 --> 00:56:24,551
The seas are rising.
493
00:56:25,034 --> 00:56:28,689
Coastal regions are
disappearing at alarming rates,
494
00:56:29,103 --> 00:56:33,000
and the poisoned oceans of
the world are heading our way.
495
00:56:41,689 --> 00:56:47,172
Never in the history of
mankind could we safely
predict a storm of comets
496
00:56:47,206 --> 00:56:52,103
because never in the
history of mankind has
there been the technology
497
00:56:52,137 --> 00:56:57,517
for humanity to launch
intercontinental ballistic
missiles at each other.
498
00:57:06,724 --> 00:57:08,827
To a man from the 16th century,
499
00:57:08,862 --> 00:57:14,620
such things would appear
to be comets, great streaming
strands of fire and smoke
500
00:57:14,655 --> 00:57:16,206
falling down to earth
501
00:57:16,241 --> 00:57:20,620
before our eyes and
bringing the end of
mankind as we know it.
502
00:57:26,206 --> 00:57:30,448
This is exactly what Nostradamus
wrote to his child,
503
00:57:31,241 --> 00:57:32,793
"But my son,
504
00:57:32,827 --> 00:57:37,827
I tell you, that I have seen
it thus, there will be
floods of such nature
505
00:57:37,862 --> 00:57:42,068
that no place on this
world will not be affected,
506
00:57:42,103 --> 00:57:43,827
and for a long time
507
00:57:43,862 --> 00:57:47,413
everything will be beneath
the surface of water,
508
00:57:47,448 --> 00:57:53,586
and everything will be
destroyed with the exception
of the weather and space.
509
00:57:54,448 --> 00:58:01,000
After these floods such a great
amount of fire of glowing
stones will fall from the sky
510
00:58:01,034 --> 00:58:06,586
that nothing will be
able to escape this last
destructive firestorm.
511
00:58:12,172 --> 00:58:14,931
The problem is that
the dating is difficult.
512
00:58:15,275 --> 00:58:21,586
It may be that he indicated
this would happen 7,000 years
after his writing of the letter,
513
00:58:22,034 --> 00:58:26,551
but this goes against other
prediction dates for
the end of the world.
514
00:58:37,965 --> 00:58:41,379
Again, the vagueness
causes problems.
515
00:58:41,862 --> 00:58:46,482
The events of flood and glowing
stones falling from the sky
516
00:58:46,517 --> 00:58:50,689
are not vague, and we now
know what these could mean.
517
00:58:59,793 --> 00:59:03,137
There are, though, more
clues about the end times
518
00:59:03,172 --> 00:59:06,862
when we return to his prophecies
about the third anti-Christ.
519
00:59:07,344 --> 00:59:13,068
We turn back to his specifics
about the army employed
by this evildoer.
520
00:59:13,551 --> 00:59:18,310
The army of the enemy of peace
will march towards Europe.
521
00:59:27,689 --> 00:59:33,620
They will emerge from the south
of Russia, and through Turkey
they will invade Europe.
522
00:59:33,655 --> 00:59:40,862
This army will also have a naval
counterpart that Nostradamus
called the Libyan fleet.
523
00:59:41,344 --> 00:59:43,724
It will move into
the Mediterranean
524
00:59:43,758 --> 00:59:47,275
and there will be a massive
naval war in the Adriatic.
525
00:59:55,551 --> 01:00:00,517
Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, and
other islands will be destroyed.
526
01:00:01,068 --> 01:00:04,620
Again, never in the
history of mankind
527
01:00:04,655 --> 01:00:10,586
has there been such
firepower with the ability to
wipe out islands until now.
528
01:00:20,586 --> 01:00:25,310
Throughout this conflict
it is believed that Russia
will be against the West,
529
01:00:25,344 --> 01:00:27,827
although Nostradamus
is not clear.
530
01:00:28,413 --> 01:00:32,758
He does state that the
Russians will be friendly
to the West eventually,
531
01:00:33,137 --> 01:00:36,620
and that their leader
will be the one who
will set things right.
532
01:00:37,310 --> 01:00:43,137
The reason for this is because
Russia soon realizes that
they need to ally themselves
533
01:00:43,172 --> 01:00:47,000
with the West in order
to defeat the Easterners.
534
01:00:55,758 --> 01:01:02,413
These Easterners are, in
reality, the people of China and
various former Soviet nations.
535
01:01:03,103 --> 01:01:04,896
In addition to these Easterners
536
01:01:04,931 --> 01:01:09,379
will be allied with the
Islamic nations of Asia
and the Middle East.
537
01:01:17,931 --> 01:01:22,931
So it appears the West
and Russia will be
at war with the East
538
01:01:22,965 --> 01:01:26,103
in a clear divide of
ideologies and religion.
539
01:01:35,241 --> 01:01:40,620
Again, looking at world
events today, it is not
a stretch of the imagination
540
01:01:40,655 --> 01:01:45,862
to realize that China
and the Muslim world
could easily find themselves
541
01:01:45,896 --> 01:01:49,827
at war with the mainly
Christian materialistic West.
542
01:01:57,310 --> 01:02:02,137
There are already so
many issues that could
spark international conflict.
543
01:02:07,586 --> 01:02:11,413
How could Nostradamus have
known this in the 16th century?
544
01:02:11,827 --> 01:02:12,620
He couldn't.
545
01:02:19,068 --> 01:02:23,931
It seems that this third
anti-Christ will bring the
nondestructive nations
546
01:02:23,965 --> 01:02:25,793
against the armies of Christ,
547
01:02:26,310 --> 01:02:28,413
and he also states
that the Christians
548
01:02:28,448 --> 01:02:31,586
will be faced with terrible
persecution and tortures.
549
01:02:39,310 --> 01:02:44,034
This terrifying war will
last for almost 28 years
550
01:02:44,068 --> 01:02:47,517
and both sides will suffer
horrendous casualties.
551
01:02:56,172 --> 01:03:01,482
Our cities will be struck
by these large shining
rocks that fall from the sky.
552
01:03:01,965 --> 01:03:07,275
In other words, ballistic
missiles will strike New York
and other major centers.
553
01:03:16,034 --> 01:03:21,034
As if this isn't enough,
there will follow a great
and dreadful pestilence
554
01:03:21,068 --> 01:03:24,241
that will wipe out two-thirds
of the world's population.
555
01:03:24,862 --> 01:03:30,620
This could be nuclear radiation
or the spread of disease
as society breaks down.
556
01:03:40,103 --> 01:03:43,344
There are various dates
all of this could happen.
557
01:03:43,379 --> 01:03:49,034
The next is 2024, and roughly
every two years following that.
558
01:03:49,620 --> 01:03:55,172
As Nostradamus tells us,
it all depends on the
actions we take now.
559
01:04:05,068 --> 01:04:09,620
What we do know is
that the predicted flood
we spoke about earlier
560
01:04:09,655 --> 01:04:12,275
comes after the war
with the anti-Christ.
561
01:04:12,896 --> 01:04:17,586
Global warming will melt
the ice, bring about
widespread rainfall,
562
01:04:17,620 --> 01:04:22,275
and following this more
breakdown of society
and spread of disease.
563
01:04:30,689 --> 01:04:36,448
In addition to all of this, it
is thought that global warming
and the melting of ice caps
564
01:04:36,482 --> 01:04:41,482
could cause the planet
to shift on its axis causing
tidal floods to worsen.
565
01:04:49,724 --> 01:04:56,448
Our position in the solar system
would even alter and cause us
to move even closer to the Sun.
566
01:04:56,482 --> 01:05:03,620
In fact, the Earth is actually
overdue for a polar shift, even
without man-made global warming.
567
01:05:08,689 --> 01:05:14,793
There is absolutely no way a
man from the 16th century could
have known about any of this.
568
01:05:15,413 --> 01:05:17,965
He had some way
to see into the future.
569
01:05:24,586 --> 01:05:27,482
The future appears to
be a terrifying prospect
570
01:05:27,517 --> 01:05:30,586
that must have caused
Nostradamus to lose sleep.
571
01:05:35,758 --> 01:05:38,517
There is no wonder
that he tried to tell us.
572
01:05:44,586 --> 01:05:48,689
But his message across the years
is still very strong and true,
573
01:05:49,344 --> 01:05:52,413
that the future does
not need to be this way,
574
01:05:52,862 --> 01:05:57,620
that we can make a
difference and we can stop
these things from happening.
575
01:05:58,034 --> 01:06:00,655
The question is, will we listen?
