The Prophecies of Nostradamus
Nostradamus (1503-1566) was a French physician and astrologer who wrote a collection of prophecies called Centuries, which was published in 1555. Nostradamus was a seer who had many visions of the times to come. According to Nostradamus, there will first be peace between the great powers. The United States of America will be at height of power but the peace will not last for long. Within 13 years, they will surrender to Muslim leaders. They will be undermined by a force in the Middle East or North Africa. For the people that will not agree with the actions of these world leaders, there will be riots and chaos as these powers bring war upon them. There will be in these times a Mongolian or Chinese invasion of the West with Iran as an ally. Out of submarines will emerge men of war, whose fleet will have come from far across the sea to Italian shores. A plague will destroy two thirds of mankind, leading even to the decimation of the Church. A third World War will commence, involving experimental weaponry and creation of new war machines like the cloning of armies, by manipulating the chromosomes to create murderers without morals. Genghis Khan will be resurrected using this technology and rule both before and after the war. So it is speculated by such seers. There will be a great earthquake in California, followed by much famine. The three main distresses for the United States will be volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes. All these events will result in a great shift of the globe over a period of six months. It is also predicted that the name of the last Pope will be Peter, as was the first, and he will unfortunately see the destruction of the city of Rome, the city of seven hills.
