Nostradamus 2012 Doomsday Prophecy: Is it True?
Nostradamus 2012 Predictions
A talented medical doctor, Nostradamus was one of the most famous French doctors of his time. Born in 1503 in the small French town of Saint Remus, Nostradamus was more than just a doctor. Being a devout Christian, Nostradamus believed that he had an intuitive power to predict the future. Most would consider these forecasts to be a bunch of rubbish; however, most of Nostradamus predictions have been quite accurately foretold. Nevertheless, with accurate predictions such as the fall of Napoleon, the French Revolution, World War I and II, and September 11th attacks, it is no wonder that people are a bit worried for his prediction for apocalypse on December 21st 2012. However, are the facts true? Nostradamus had several prophecies for the 2012 doomsday, such as World War III, the coming of the Antichrist and several natural disasters. Are these predictions as accurate as he foretells or were these just the ramblings of an old man?
Nostradamus was known for his prophecies through his writings. These are 4-lined poetic verses that are known as quatrains. In his quatrains, Nostradamus predicted the 2012 doomsday to begin with several natural disasters. Furthermore, he also predicted a planet to hit the Earth. Scientists named it Planet X but Nostradamus did not name it. Although it is strange to hear a planet would pummel into the Earth, the Ancient Mayans did predict the coming of a planet which they named as Planet Nibiru. Nevertheless, some experts have found that there is a planet heading near the Earth. However, the word “near” stands for 30,000 light years away in this case. That is scientific terms for you. Nostradamus predicted a disastrous war for December 21st 2012.
Many religions have predicted the end of the world to be plagued with wars and natural disasters. Nostradamus 2012 predictions are quite similar. He also predicted the rise of a World War III led by Antichrist himself through quatrains; 50, 30 and 62. In his 30th quatrain he says, “One who the infernal gods of Hannibal will cause to be reborn, terror of all mankind. Never more horror not the newspaper tell of worse in the past, Than will come to the Romans through Babel (Iraq)”, which seems to imply that the Antichrist would arise from North Africa or the Middle East and bring destruction to the Catholic Church. Furthermore, in his 62nd quatrain, Nostradamus puts forward the name “MABUS” as the Antichrist. Some experts even suggest that it is possibly Obama or the Catholic pope! With his accurate prediction of September 11th attacks, it is quite possible to believe in his theory. However, there are those who claim that his quatrains have been misinterpreted.
There is quite a lot of room for interpretation with Nostradamus’ writings as they never actually suggest a date; rather they are just predictions of the future. Some historians believe that although Nostradamus accurately predicted some events, he did not know when they were going to happen. In Nostradamus’ letter to his son, he admits his prophecies “contain each 100 astronomic quatrains of forecasts, polished through obscurely”. In addition, he admits that these prophecies are “perpetual” and has foretold predictions up to the year 3797. If Nostradamus knew the world would come to an end, he would have definitely not bothered writing more predictions.
It is possible that Nostradamus 2012 doomsday predictions are more of a misinterpretation than anything else. However, since there have been so many prophecies from other sources, such as the Mayans, it is likely that something could take place on December 21st 2012. Keep in mind that there have been quite a lot of predictions about the end of the world. It is possible that many people are overreacting to the situation, hence relating every possible prophecy to each other. Keep an open mind, you never know what to expect. Life on Earth has been through many deaths and disasters; it is possible we will live through whatever is to occur on December 21st 2012.

I have done a research on this section and it is correct about Iraq. However, the name that Nostradamus had come up with, “Mabus”, simply has nothing to do with former President Bush, Osama bin Laden, Obama or others mentioned. “Mabus” has given me a clue according to Nostradamus’s Quatrains which specifically states about Iraq. “Mabus” is an idiomatic name for one particuliar person and that is Saddam Hussein. Look at this carefully: “Mabus” (Flip it around as mirror reflection. Letters also flipped in the same fashion.) “Sudam” There you have it, Saddam. Saddam Hussein was supposed to be one of the Anti-christ, if you remember hearing in the news that he had slaughtered some people in the northern region of Iraq. Following up to Quatrain #62 states: Mabus then will soon die, there will come….Of people and beasts a horrible rout:……Then suddenly one will see vengeance, …..Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when comet will run. This portion: “Mabus then will soon die” , turns out as a result of Saddam Hussein was later hanged. This portion: “Of people and beasts a horrible rout” – the result is that a large group of Iraqi people surrounded Saddam being hung showing so much hatred towards this man. I’d like to share this interesting side note: I had caught a short video in time that was captured by one of the Iraqi citizen using his cell phone and uploaded onto the internet showing Saddam ready to be hanged with a large crowd around him. The short video was soon taken off the internet because it was a “violation of the law”.
And the final conclusion to this: In this section, Century III Quatrain # 61 states: The great band and sect of crusaders….Will be arrayed in Mesopotamia: ….. Light company of the nearby river, …… That such law will hold for an enemy. Mesopotamia is a region in Iraq. Secondly, “The great band and sect of crusaders” are the U.S. troops and allies, and finally, “Light company of the nearby river, ” suggests that the U.S. military also came into Iraq from one of the U.S. battleships in the Mediterranean Sea. The last line of course, indicates that the U.S. troops had brought Saddam Hussein to face Justice.
As a closing note about this: From what I have seen in the News, videos, and other sources, I believe these are the visionary results that Nostradamus had seen through by using a bowl of water, creating the ripples with a tree twig. Some say that he had used a black mirror which I think it is quite impossible that it existed or used by Nostradamus in the 1400-1500′s.
