Said to have been educated by his maternal great-grandfather (while others say that he passed away when young Nostradamus was one-year-old).

It is for certain, however, that Nostradamus entered the University of Avignon to study for his baccalaureate

Nostradamus Predictions for The Future

Nostradamus has predicted three (3) antichrists will come.

1) Napoulean2) Hitler3) Mabus (A clue to his name)

Some scholars believed that Mabus can be Saddam hussain, some believes that Mabus is Usama-bin-laden and horrifyingly some believe that Mabus is Barrack Obama.

About antichrist

Out of the country of Greater Arabia Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed,He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban. He will be the terror of mankind. Never more horror.

Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces on an invasion through Europe.  This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together.  

Attack on New York (45 degrees)

At forty-five degrees, the sky will burn, Fire approaches the great new city, Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up,When they want to have verification from the Norman.

In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude. Experts agree this could only be New York.

World Wars

Nostradamus has correctly predicted World War 1 and World war 2.

Nostradamus has also made predictions about World War 3.

World War 3

In the year 1999 and seven months From the sky will come the great King of Terror. He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols; Before and after war reigns.

Nostradamus predicts  the war will begin shortly before the year 1999. It doesn't make much sense to this author, but many are now saying that the 'war' was set 'in motion' in 1999, and now after Septermeber 11th these things are going to come true... as we are now 'at war with terror.' Interpret it how you will.  He also tells us how long the war will last.   

Contd…

The war will last seven and twenty years. (so 27 years)    

Nostradamus says that the war will be so terrible that the world will come face to face with final annihilation.  Here, he implies that the war might involve some kind of horrible weapon, possibly nuclear.  Nostradamus tells what the first target will be. 

Contd…

World War 3 shall be different from World War I World War 3 shall be different from World War I

and World War II. The earlier World Wars were and World War II. The earlier World Wars were

fought for establishing the supremacy of one fought for establishing the supremacy of one

country over the other. World War 3 shall be a fight country over the other. World War 3 shall be a fight

to the finish between Christianity and Islam. to the finish between Christianity and Islam.

The catastrophe shall be of such a magnitude that 1200 million people will vanish in World War 3.

Contd…

Based on the predictions of Nostradamus as of now... World War 3 is most likely to happen around 2012.Until then both the communities... the Christians and the followers of the Islamic dharma are silently in preparation.

A rise in the level of waters around 10~12 feet in the seas and the oceans is predicted in World War 3. The radio active vapors would result in melting of the Arctic ice on an unprecedented scale. World War 3 would result in countries like Australia almost getting wiped out from the face of the Earth. World War 3 would result in waves raising to a height of upto 1000 feet... something unheard of!

Contd…

As envisaged by the famous physicist Einstein... the fourth World War would be fought with stones and uprooted trees. He was correct for the World War 3 would signal the end of science as it is today. Life will have a new beginning... a new meaning after World War 3!

END OF THE WORLD 2012

Be it Nostradamus, the Quran, the Bible or science. They all say that the world will come to an end, someday. However, will that day come in 2012? Well, some say yes, and some, no! Let us see different explanations and calculations about the

Armageddon or end of the world.

Mayans (Mayanic calendar)

The Mayans and their esteemed calender have gained a lot of popularity. Well, why not? The Mayan Calender put forth that the end of the world would take place some time in winter solstice 2012. As per the Mayan calender, a month had 20 days, a year had 360 days, a Katun was a span of 7200 days and a baktun was that of 144,000 days. Now, coming to their prediction, the world is to last for exactly 13 baktun cycles. That would make it 1,872,000 days. Their calender started on 3114-AUG-13 BCE with the birth of Venus. After calculation, it was found that the world would end in 2012. The Mayan calender is known for its accuracy in predictions.

According to the Mayans, yes!

Pope’s declaration

We will see the opinion of the Bible later, however, Pope Leo IX made a very important declaration in 1514. He stated, "I will not see the end of the world, nor will you my brethren, for its time is long in the future, 500 years hence." So, on calculations, one can speculate a lot. By this calculation, the world should see its end in 2014. Yes, two years after the prediction made by the Mayans, but then, He was the Pope, so his declaration holds value, doesn't it? So, is the world going to end in 2012?

According to Pope Leo IX, no!

666

Triple six is probably this millennium's most mystical number. Belonging to the devil and doom, I am sure it has some link to the 2012 end of the world predictions. So on doing some research, I found out that with reference to the 666 calculation, the world was predicted to come to an end in 1998 (clearly, it misfired). Many people sold all their belongings, ignored their work and fields and rushed for pilgrimages in 1998. However, when new year 1999 came, they were highly disappointed. However, later it was said that approximately 603,729 died in 6th of July 1998.

Contd…

So, technically the rapture (a concept in Christianity relating to the return of Jesus) did take place. However, because of the vastness of the earth's population, these 603,729 deaths went unnoticed. The rest were to suffer tribulation until the next rapture. The next rapture, as per Eli Eshoh, should be in 2028, following a lot of instability in the world. So, once again, is the world going to end in 2012?

Well, as per the Triple Six mystery, no!

The Quran!

The holy book, Quran is one of the most respected pieces of literature, for its scientific approach and accurate calculations about the future. The Quran has stated that the world will come to an end and there will be signs to show that the end is coming. The first being, "splitting of the moon" which has happened, when parts of the moon were brought back to earth for study. The second being the discovery of the Quran's mathematical code. This has also already taken place. The third, the creature "Made from the earth, it alerts the people that they have been oblivious to their Creator." This "creature" is believed to be the computer. The fourth being, appearance of God's messenger.

Contd…

This messenger to inform the world of the last of all the holy scriptures. This prophecy was fulfilled in the month of Ramadan 1408. Seven such prophecies being fulfilled, mark the certainty of the "day of judgment". As per the complex calculations in the Quran, the world will come to an end in 1710 AH, which will be during 2280 AD. So, is the world going to end in 2012?

As per the Quran, no, but in 2280, it definitely will!
