Throughout history, many people have claimed to be able to predict the future. Religious figures, prophets and astrologers have published their predictions, sometimes centuries ahead of time. The most famous seer is the French Nostradamus, or Michel de Nostredame, the name he was given at birth.
For five centuries, scientists and esotericists have tried to unravel the mysterious messages left behind by Nostradamus. The media has deciphered the viewer’s predictions for 2024 and some of them can be shocking.
Who was Nostradamus?
Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, was a French astrologer and physicist who lived in the 16th century. Michel de Nostredame was born on December 14, 1503, in the town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in the south of France. At the age of 14, the young man left his family and entered the University of Montpellier, where he studied medicine and astrology. He was a true genius of his time, had a perfect knowledge of astronomy and medicine, spoke several languages, including Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and was fond of astrology. Few people know, but Nostradamus was also a renowned physicist and was even physician to kings Henry II, Francis II and Charles IX.
Nostradamus was quite a controversial figure and often faced criticism and attacks from religious authorities for his medical beliefs and practice. He used his vast knowledge to write unique predictions. These were coded tars, some of which are still difficult to interpret. Michel de Nostredame died on July 2, 1566, at the age of 62, leaving behind a book of mysterious prophecies that continue to be solved 500 years after his death. The “Prophecies” of Nostradamus is a collection of 942 poetic quatrains that were published in 1555.
What has Nostradamus predicted for the year 2024?
Nostradamus’ prediction for the coming year is disappointing, to put it mildly.
The Third World War
Nostradamus wrote that humanity will face the “seven months of the Great War” in 2024. The opinions of researchers about the outbreak of the Third World War are divided: some believe that it will be a continuation of the war in Ukraine, while others predict the possibility of a major conflict provoked by China over Taiwan. According to the “Prophecies”, several world powers, including the United States, Russia and China, will be involved in a new great war.
A terrible earthquake
Nostradamus also predicted a terrible earthquake that would cause widespread destruction in California and result in many deaths. In fact, Nostradamus was not the only one who spoke about natural disasters. Eno Alaric, better known as “The Time Traveler”, also predicted a powerful earthquake in California.
Changes in the Vatican: a new pope
Five centuries ago, Nostradamus wrote that Pope Francis would step down from his duties at the Vatican due to his advanced age. In the coming months, a new pope will be elected to lead the Catholic Church. Francis will be replaced by “an unknown and dangerous person who will cause a scandal”. Some scholars even say that “the next elected pope will be an African or Asian cardinal from the countryside.”
Changes on a planetary scale: global warming
Nostradamus did not see any positive change in dealing with the issue of global warming. On the contrary, the problem would become even more serious. The forecaster spoke of major floods that would be caused by global warming.
The fall of Putin
Nostradamus predicted that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will face a great test in 2024. Even according to Nostradamus poems written centuries ago, it seems that the situation in Russia will worsen.
Artificial organs
The year 2024 should also be marked by numerous scientific advances in the transplantation and production of artificial organs, which could be “made through 3D printing or the discovery of new materials compatible with the human body”. This would be an important step forward as many patients would be able to access previously expensive treatments. Nostradamus predicted that these artificial organs would be widely distributed around the world and could save many lives.
The age of technology and innovation
Researchers of Nostradamus’ poems say that the prophet predicted a leap in the field of new technologies. This will find application in many technological innovations. In fact, Nostradamus predicted significant progress in many fields, including machine learning, robotics, as well as health, finance, and transportation, among others. Artificial intelligence, medical diagnosis and treatment will provide new solutions and thus save many lives. The invention of autonomous vehicles is also expected to change the way we move and travel.
A charismatic leader in Europe
Nostradamus predicted the emergence of a new charismatic leader in Europe. He will have excellent public speaking skills. It is said that the crowd will literally follow him. The leader will lead a social or political movement.
Which predictions of Nostradamus came true?
It is difficult to say how many predictions have come true, because interpretations of mysterious poems are quite subjective. While some researchers are convinced that most of the predictions have come true, others believe none of them. The fact is that the poems of Nostradamus are very “poetic”, vague and open to interpretation.
Scholars offer a list of some of the prophecies that have come true:
Election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States (2017)
The terrorist attacks of September 11 (2001) “At forty-five degrees, the sky will burn. Fire to approach the great new city;”
The Assassination of John F. Kennedy (1963)
Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945) “Near the gates and within the two cities, There will be calamities never seen, The widow of hunger within the pestilence, The people extinguished by steel”
Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s
The Arrest of Louis XVI (1791)
French Revolution (1789-1799)
The Great Fire of London (1666)
