2020 was undoubtedly one of the worst years for humanity in recent memory. It’s hard to imagine anyone having fond memories of it.
Yet, according to this old oracle, 2021 has many bad things in store for us… Since the very old times, prophecies were extremely intriguing to people who are curious and anxious about their future. Certain areas were even famous for their oracles and their accurate predictions.
It’s understandable that people would want to learn more about their future and the problems it might bring. Back then, each new year could bring a new devastating famine or war so naturally, people wanted to have some security.
And sometimes, it did work…
Ancient Historians of different cultures share many accounts of oracles giving accurate predictions about the future.
Enthusiasts still delve into old predictions, trying to connect the dots between these and actual events.
According to many, the French oracle has been proven right multiple times. Some even claim that he predicted the current pandemic!
So surely, there must be some truth on his horrific predictions for this year…
The problem that many scholars have with Nostradamus is his writing style: he was just so confusing!
His predictions weren’t stated clearly, instead he used this mysterious way…
Nostradamus used verses in four lines to write down his prophecies.
He wrote many of these short poems in his 63 years of life and some of his predictions have been shocking.
Nostradamus passed away in 1566, centuries before some of his predictions proved to be true. Some say that he predicted the French Revolution and the Atomic bomb.
How could he do such a thing though?
Considering these, his predictions about 2021 are jaw-dropping. If we thought 2020 was a terrible year, then we’re in for something even worse.
And no, it’s not even about the economy or the pandemic…
Nostradamus was born in France, on December 1503.
His family was originally Jewish but had converted to Christianity to escape persecution, decades before his birth.
The future seer had 8 siblings.
Despite this however, his father made a good living through his trading business thus, Nostradamus wasn’t raised in poverty and was able to afford a good education.
When he was a young adult, plague was ravaging Europe and he decided to apply his medical skills. He travelled from town to town and instructed his patients to follow good hygiene and consume certain products like rosehips, that actually contained vitamin C.
He proved to be far more successful than many other “doctors” of his time…
After his successful stint as a doctor, Nostradamus got interested in darker fields of knowledge.
His behavior became peculiar as he’d spend whole days to himself, using mysterious potions with herbs to aid him in his dark research.
Nostradamus became famous through publishing almanacs: popular writings filled with folk wisdom, light-hearted stories and predictions about the upcoming year.
It was his predictions that made him so popular among readers…
After a few years of writing almanacs, Nostradamus decided to write an epic consisting of hundreds of predictions about the next 2000 years, which he had published by 1555, causing a huge stir…
As we mentioned before, Nostradamus wrote his predictions in the form of poem, while also using many different languages.
The reason he did that was probably to avoid persecution by the Church but he didn’t need to worry…
How could Nostradamus make these predictions, however? As we mentioned before, he used secret herb potions that helped him enter a state of meditation.
He also used astrology to calculate the rotation of various planets and old historical archives. That’s how he could envision these horrific images of the future…
There have been many people over the years that tried to analyze Nostradamus’ Predictions. That’s because many believe he has been right on the money in many cases.
His predictions are sometimes too general and can be attributed to many of the horrible events that happened ever since. Others, however, seem to be frighteningly accurate…
“From on high, evil will fall on the great man” seems to be too general of a prediction but many believe he was referring to the President John F. Kennedy. His prophecy seems even more disturbing: “A dead innocent will be accused of the deed while the true villain will remain in the mist”.
Thus, it has been claimed by many that he was referring to Lee Harvey Oswald as well. But it doesn’t stop here…
The unbelievable predictions don’t end there though.
According to enthusiasts of his work the following passage refers to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: “Within two cities there will be scourges the like of which was never seen, famine within plague and people put out by iron.” But there’s more…
He also seems to have predicted the Great Fire of London, in 1666 when he wrote: “The blood of the just will commit a fault at London, Burnt through lightning of 20 threes the six: The ancient lady will fall from her high place, Several of the same sect will be killed.”
When Nostradamus wrote “Two steel birds will fall from the sky on the metropolis.”, many think he was referring to the 9/11 attacks in New York.
According to many interpretations, there are some predictions specifically for 2021, like this chilling description of a possible World War III: “Twice put up and twice cast down, The East will also weaken the West.
Its adversary after several battles chased by sea will fail at time of need” And we haven’t even started yet…
According to another poem, Nostradamus predicts that a Russian scientist will create a virus that will turn people into zombies: “Few young people: half-dead to give a start.
Dead through spite, he will cause the others to shine.” Yikes…
Famine, diseases, earthquakes and tsunamis are what 2021 has in store for humanity according to Nostradamus: “After great trouble for humanity, a greater one is prepared, The Great Mover renews the ages: Rain, blood, milk, famine, iron and plague, In the heavens fire seen, a long spark running.” That certainly doesn’t look comforting…
According to the Daily Express, Nostradamus also predicted a deadly solar flare: “Condom and Auch and around Mirande, I see fire from the sky which encompasses them. Sun and Mars conjoined in Leo, then at Marmande, Lightning, great hail, a wall falls into the Garonne.” That’s not the first time a solar flame would target earth and we were close to getting hit by one in 2012.
Is that all though? Not quite…
According to the French seer, in 2021 our planet will be hit by an asteroid which could potentially cause untold damage to our civilization. And when he wrote “The sloping park, great calamity”, analysts think he was talking about a huge earthquake that could damage a metropolis and potentially cause a tsunami.
Welp…
Some predictions are particularly upsetting however: “The newly made one will lead the army, Almost cut off up to near the bank: Help from the Milanese elite training, The Duke deprived of his eyes in Milan in an iron cage.” According to some, the seer here is talking about half-robot soldiers.
That can’t be good…
According to the Yearly Horoscope, Nostradamus predicted the domination of Europe and the world by Islam: “Because of French discord and negligence, An opening shall be given to the Mohammedans.
The land and sea of Siena will be soaked in blood, And the port of Marseilles covered with ships and sails.”
According to other fans of the old seer, he even predicted a resurgence of the Catholic faith and Church, led by Pope Francis.
This would act as a “lifeboat” against the impending doom according to Nostradamus.
However, all of these predictions are disputed by many, despite some striking similarities to real life events. What do you believe?
Are we heading for a dreadful year, or is it all a big lie?
