RE: Nostradamus: The Man Behind the Prophecies (Part 1)
When I was growing up in the 1970s and 80s, there was a lot of talk about the prophecies of Nostradamus. People used to say that he forecasted the end of the world in the 1980s, and that he'd also said the current Pope would be the last. It used to scare the crap out of me! But then, more popes came, and the world didn't end. I still find him kind of interesting though, so I'm looking forward to your next posts.
I had the same fascination back then.
One thing I came to realize is that prophecies are prophetic AFTER they have come true. Until then they are still just unfulfilled words open to interpretation.
Now, considering how many of the quatrains Nostradamus made and how many of them have come true, I do believe he had some kind of foresight or knowledge, but there have been some ones that "experts" were sure meant one thing or another that were not fulfilled.
So was Nostradamus wrong? Or more likely those who interpreted them?
Time will tell
Totally. I've actually forgotten many of the things he said, so I'm looking forward to being reminded of it.
Sample quatrains coming in part 2 in a few days
