This is my Awesome Doctrine

Many people have been mislead over the years about the Nostradamus predictions. Nostradamus was a practicing physician, astronomer and astrologer who lived in the mid 16th century. He claimed to be a Catholic during the Spanish Inquisition but was really a pagan. Nostradamus wrote quatrains to tell people of his prophecies of destrucion and many people believe that it was no coincidence that so many of his predictions "came true." It is more likely that humans tend to see things as they wish them to be. Nostadamus' predictions can be decipherd however the reader sees them. A prophet or just a man? The name Nostrasdamus is mainly associated with the prophecies he made but is he given more credit than he deserves? The predictions of the Twin Towers destruction, the horror of the atomic bomb and the Apocalypse to come is supposedly predicted by Nostradamus. Where his predictions just a lucky guess or have they been exaggerated throughout the years?

The Twin Tower prediction has shocked many people but that is because the the majority of them have been told a false prophecy.

Volcanic fire from the center of the earth will cause trembling around the new city: Two great rocks will make war for a long time. Then Arethusa will redden a new river.

This is the original writing of Nostradamus, translated from its original form of French to English. The prophecy states: Volcanic fire from the center of the earth will cause great trembling around the new city. It is easy for a person to make the assumption that new city means New York City and many people did not hear of Nostradamus untill after the Twin Towers. There were many people who studied Nostradamus quatrains but none would have connected it with the occurence of the Twin Towers. Two rocks will make war for a long time could mean many things but since America is at war with Iraq, there are people who think it is a logical assumption that Nostradamus was right and all should believe his word as law. This is not true as it could also be referring to people. Take for instance the name Peter which means rock. No one can really find out what Nostradamus meant by this. His last verse: Then Arethusa will redden a new river. Arethusa is from Greek mythology and her name means the waterer. Nostradamus meant that a new river will be made by Arethusa as Nostradamus did believe in Arethusa.

The Atomic Bomb

Near the gates and within the cities there will be two scourges the like of which was never seen, famine within plague, people put out by steel, crying to the great immortal God for relief.

First, the atomic bomb is not even close to being mentioned but people do add meaning to Nostradamus' quatrains. Some of the add ons are so far-fetched that they make Nostradamus seem like an uneducated common person of his time. Where the quatrain states that people are put out by steel, it most likely means a sword or something from that time period. Nostradamus wrote in French and many people mistranslate  his words. For example, the word portes means gate or doorway which has been translated to say port for ships. This quatrain has nothing to do with the atomic bomb.

The apocolypse has two dates one in 2012 and one in 3797. The apocolypse in 2012 might just be the turning point of humanity when war ends and peace will reign for 1000 years Then in 3797 it is said Nostradamus wrote in a letter to his son Cesar, revealing this time as the ending date for man and beast alike. In the bible Jesus says but as for the day or hour nobody knows the time-- it neither the angels in heaven nor the Son of Man: no one but the Father. Jesus also says "Please do not be easily thrown into confusion or alarmed by any manifestation of the Spirit or any statement or any letter claiming to come from us suggesting that the day of the Lord has already arrived. Never let anyone deceive you in this way." The Son of God himself tells us not to listen to false prophets.

Though Nostradamus may have been a good man, he was also living a lie. He was not Catholic, but pagan, and he wrote quatrains that are too broad to really apply to this time period
