Nostradamus Predictions
The infamous Nostradamus was a renowned French doctor and remarkable astrologer. Born in 1503 in Saint Remi, he has become quite popular 500 years later for the simple predictions he made. Many people believe in his forecast; however, there are others who deem this as just a bunch of hocus pocus. Nostradamus predictions for the future have been used in a variety of ways, including propaganda “Nostradamus leaflets” during the Second World War by German and allied pilots.
Amongst many other predictions Nostradamus forecast the apocalypse on December 21st 2012, which has been quite shocking for people around the world. This is due to the countless number of prophecies found in the Nostradamus writings. In one of Nostradamus’ major work of predictions, known as “The Centuries”, he predicted the rise and demise of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime and Mussolini. The French doctor and astrologist made the prediction about the apocalypse in the year 2012 based on an astrological alignment of the earth. This would eventually precipitate a cataclysmic event. Furthermore, he foretold many natural disasters that would occur in the future that reveals the end of the world, such as massive comic collision, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and environmental issues. However, many people do question the logic of Nostradamus.
Nostradamus claimed that his prophecies were based on a combination of astrological study and divine inspiration. Since his predictions are based as a result of random chance and creative interpretation, this has led to many skeptics against Nostradamus. There has been no scientific proof to validate Nostradamus’ predictions. Moreover, since most of his writings are rather vague it is not right to directly relate them to the disaster or even that takes place. Nostradamus has predicted many disasters in the previous years, including asteroids hitting the earth in the year 1999 and 2000. In addition, Nostradamus foretold another failed prediction of global disaster with war and famine in the year 2000. Obviously, since these predictions have not come true, many doubt Nostradamus’ writings.
If Nostradamus’ predictions for the future were reliable, shouldn’t the world be preparing for the end of life on December 21st 2012? Moreover, if he had predicted disasters such as the destruction of the World Trade Center’s 500 years ago, why was it not prevented? There is no evidence yet of the world ending on December 21st 2012. It is always best to prepare for the worst, but it not logical to follow Nostradamus’ prediction strictly. This will only create arguments and distress. Let us just hope that Nostradamus’ predictions for the future are just prophecies and live happily.

Psychic Predictions
Psychics are renowned for their analysis or predictions for our lives. Although some have known to fake it, there are a few good psychics out there that are quite accurate in their intuitive traits.
With the recent prophecies with aspect to December 21st 2012 being the end of days, psychics are now coming out to confirm how precise these predictions are. Many have stated their own psychic predictions with regard to this specific date. These psychic predictions tend to be mostly about death and destruction, such as the prediction about World War III. However, there are psychics that regard the end of the world as more of a spiritual change rather than being destructive.
Nostradamus was one of the most influential astrologers of all time. Born in 1503 in France, Nostradamus was a medical doctor that believed he had the innate power in astrology. Most of his predictions have been accurately foretold, such as the fall of Napoleon and Hitler, World War I and World War II, and September 11th attacks. However, Nostradamus has yet another prediction to come about: World War III. Nostradamus predicted that World War III was to come about during the year 2012. This war would be a religious war compared to the other World Wars, with the coming of the antichrist himself. The world would inherently suffer for 72 years and then find restart with a new Golden Age. Other psychics support the theory of war and death on December 21st 2012. However, there are those that perceive a more peaceful theory.
The Mayans were a civilization skilled in mathematics and other traits. However, they were illustrious astrologers. They were responsible for creating calendars based on time and astrology. They believed that humans have gone through four worlds. Each of these worlds so far has ended and a new one has begun. On December 21st 2012, the Mayan long-count calendar depicting the fourth world would come to an end. Although everyone attributes the termination of this calendar to be the end of days in 2012, the Maya never predicted an awful ending. Instead their writings implied a spiritual change and a time of tribulation. This theory has been supported by many psychics today.
It is quite difficult to stick with one theory with the many predictions made about December 21st 2012 end of days. However, no one will know for sure the consequences of this particular date till the time arrives. Psychic predictions have known be accurate; nevertheless, there are many a time that their predictions have not come true, such as the Y2K Millennium and Planet Nibiru smashing into the earth on May 2003. Thus, it is best to prepare ourselves for the events that would take place. The end of days does not have to take place in 2012, it can happen as soon as tomorrow or later in a 100 years. It is time we stop being selfish and take care of the Earth that has protected us so much.
