The name of Nostradamus is on everyone's lips again. The events that he wrote about in the distant past are beginning to come true today.
Back in the 1550s, he talked about the creation, a few centuries later, of a certain Islamic state in the Middle East, which, starting with the murder of millions of people, destruction of the achievements of civilization and ruin, would go to war against neighboring countries, becoming an empire of evil.
GOTHERED WANG, MESSING AND CASEY
Scientists, historians and interpreters of prophecies are sure: Nostradamus had in mind the ISIS ("Islamic State") banned in Russia. This unrecognized state, founded by terrorists, operates primarily in Syria and Iraq.
ISIS militants carry out terrorist activities in some other countries, publicly execute hostages almost every month, destroy museums and architectural monuments.
Undoubtedly, this, like many other interpretations of the prophecies of Nostradamus, can be called inaccurate, because in his quatrains he did not indicate dates, geographical names and names. All the predictions of the medieval alchemist and soothsayer have been brought to us in the interpreters' versions, and much here depends on their knowledge and imagination.

The percentage of inaccuracies is quite large, but even so, the statistics are striking: Nostradamus today is the only seer in history who has come true at least 80% of his predictions.
Not a single prophet was able to achieve such a result, the famous Bulgarian Vanga, according to researchers, had only 62% of the forecasts that came true, Wolf Messing - 48%, the famous Edward Casey - 35%, and the rest even less.
Time will tell whether the remaining 20% of Nostradamus's predictions will come true, but for now, let's recall the most famous of them.
UNTIL 2035, NO APOCALYPSE
Michel de Nostradamus, also known as Nostradamus, is a French physician, bachelor, doctor of science. He was fond of astrology and at first counted possible events depending on the location of the planets, and later visions of pictures from the future that he wrote down began to come to him.
Over time, he so deeply believed that he had this gift from God and that he was the chosen one who was destined to open the veil that hides the future before mankind that he began to publish an astrological almanac - a yearbook with predictions by months.
The project turned out to be incredibly successful, Nostradamus had admirers and, as they would say these days, sponsors who offered to publish his work in the form of a book. This is how his famous "Prophecies" appeared - a series of books consisting of quatrains - quatrains with predictions.
The first book in the series, called The Centuries, contained 353 prophetic quatrains. The second included 288 quatrains and several unnumbered appeals to descendants. The third book (942 quatrains and 7 unfinished ones), the only one completely preserved to this day, is dated 1568, that is, it was published 2 years after the death of Nostradamus.
Even during the life of Nostradamus, there were many skeptics who did not trust him. He became a national hero after he ventured to publish in his almanac the prediction of the death of the French king Henry II.
When the monarch died unexpectedly in a tournament in 1559, no one doubted the prophetic gift of Nostradamus.
Moreover, the wife of the deceased, Catherine de Medici, showed an interest in the astrologer. According to historians, he became her personal predictor, and soon received the status of a court healer and astrologer. True, not for long - two years later he died of gout.
Not only the third book of Nostradamus remained unfinished, but also many of his drafts, which are still passed "from hand to hand" by collectors. The most interesting thing is that in all the works of the predictor that have survived to this day, only one date is clearly mentioned - 2035, which he designated as "the end of times."
By the way, this gave the admirers of Nostradamus confidence that in 2012, when everyone was waiting for the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar, there would be no apocalypse.
THE DEATH OF FASCISM AND THE TERRACT OF SEPTEMBER 11
Everyone who comes across the works of Nostradamus, the question arises, why it was necessary to give such confused prophecies, to write figuratively? Firstly, Nostradamus feared the Inquisition, which mercilessly dealt with all kinds of sorcerers. Second, he was genuinely concerned about the mental state of those who would read his writings.
Here is what he himself wrote about it: “I chose the path of predictions of the future, capable of puzzling everyone, in encrypted form. I did this also because I noticed the impression that predictions have on people if they come true …
The fulfilled predictions of Nostradamus more than once caused surprise and panic among people - because of incredible coincidences. So, he predicted the discovery of America, the wars with the Indians, the Paris revolution, the beginning of the First and Second World Wars, the discovery of the planet Neptune and many other important events.
For example, the birth of Napoleon and the bloody wars that broke out under him looks like this in Nostradamus:
An emperor will be born near Italy
Which will cost the kingdom dearly
They will say, seeing with what people he enters into an alliance
That this is more a butcher than a prince
And here is another quatrain:
Somewhere in Western Europe, a child will be born into a family of poor people
He will captivate many with his speeches, and his fame will reach the eastern lands
Fierce hungry beasts will cross rivers
And most of the world will be fighting Hister
Interpreters believe that the appearance of Hitler is predicted in this quatrain. Later, he would write a lot about him and about fascism, as a result of which his books were persecuted in Nazi Germany - for reading the books of a medieval fortuneteller, on the personal order of Hitler, they were imprisoned.
The Heavenly Arrow will Stretch the Wing of Death: Great Conquest
A proud people will be smitten with a stone thrown from a tree
Rumors of something monstrous, man-made
Will lead to extermination
It is believed that here the astrologer is talking about an event that happened in August 1945 - the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Historians claim that this tragedy marked the end of World War II. “A stone thrown from a tree” may be a description of mushrooming mushrooms in the sky over a city.
And the great London fire was described in quatrains like this:
The blood of the innocent will be demanded by London
The old lady will fall from the heights of her throne
And many palaces will be destroyed
The tragedy that happened on September 2, 1666, when a huge fire, which could not be extinguished for three days, almost completely destroyed the city.
Misfortune will fall on the great from the roof
The innocent will be accused of this and will be killed
Historians are sure - we are talking about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which was committed "from a great height." The bullet that pierced Kennedy's head was fired from the roof. The man who was charged with the murder, Lee Harvey Oswald, did not live to see the trial. He was killed while in police custody.
When the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 in New York took place, interpretations of two quatrains from the first book of Nostradamus were immediately found:
Earth shaking fire from its center
Shake around the New City
Two great rocks will collapse
Then Aretusa will stain the new river
and
At 45 degrees the sky will light up, the flames reach the great new city
Immediately a huge flame rises
A cold and cruel heart will bring blood
There will be no mercy for anyone
Planes hijacked by terrorists crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York. But the most interesting thing is a seemingly small detail about "45 degrees" - it is at this latitude that New York is located …
THE DEATH OF AFRICA AND THE BIRTH OF THE MESSIAH
Today, more than a hundred books have been written by various authors with interpretations of the prophecies of Nostradamus. Someone just cites a translation from Old French, someone tries to compare facts and events.
The most authoritative interpreter, whose books have been published in 18 languages, is the American astrologer Hoag John. He recently made some amazing predictions. He calculated that the events that, according to Nostradamus, will lead to the end of the world in 2035, have already begun to develop in two decades, and 2015 can be considered fatal.
“At the end of 2015, Nostradamus predicted a major eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which would seriously shake Italy and several other countries,” says John Hoag. "But much more terrible events will occur in the period before the summer of 2016 in America (it is not yet clear which one) - as a result of a strong earthquake and soil displacement, half of the country will go under water, and a serious humanitarian crisis will begin on the continent."
In general, Nostradamus clearly indicates that the US will collapse. "The East will be mired in war, America will be like a desert," he writes.
But the "Western society" is waiting for a short, but prosperity. "Taxes will be abolished, great discoveries will be made in science, including the elixir of longevity, but mankind will no longer have to take advantage of them."
The most famous Russian interpreter, Doctor of Historical Sciences Eduard Berzin, also mentions the elixir of longevity in his book: “Nostradamus, as if with a grin, says: an elixir will be created that will extend life to 100-200 years, but no one will need it - people will die young because of the heavenly body. The sun will approach the Earth so much that it will destroy most of humanity.
In Berzin's interpretations, there are also incredible facts: for example, the first harbinger of the approaching apocalypse, Nostradamus called the discovery of drugs for seemingly incurable diseases (and recently, as you know, AIDS drugs and vaccines for Ebola were successfully tested) and unusual discoveries - for example, people will learn understand the language of animals.
Approximately 2017 (according to researchers) will be fatal for the inhabitants of Africa - they will die in thousands of hunger, and over time the continent will be almost completely empty. In the same 2017, the war of the East against the West will begin, in which chemical weapons will be used for the first time, which will lead to previously unknown forms of skin diseases.
In 2020, a new world leader, China, will declare itself, it will become the strongest power. New sources of energy related to sound will be discovered. In 2024, active exploration of underwater spaces will begin. Fuel obtained from water will be more valuable than fuel extracted from the bowels of the Earth.
From 2035, the Earth will begin to be covered with ice, the end of times will come.
However, the end of the world may not be. Salvation is in the messiah - the messenger of God. At the time of the alleged apocalypse, according to Nostradamus, he will be 20 years old, and in his power will save life on Earth. Therefore, he was already born or will be born before the end of 2015.
