2012 End of the World Predictions by Nostradamus
Quatrains of Ancient, Accurate Prophecies for December 21, 2012
Sep 13, 2009
Quatrains are four-line poems that Michel de Nostradamus used when writing his famous predictions for the future and the end of the world. The prophecies of this famous astrologer were often vague and couched in colorful, ambiguous language so as to escape censorship and ire from the Christian church in the mid 1500s.
History Channel's DVD documentary, Nostradamus 2012, explains the famous astrologer's predictions about the year 2012 and the so-called impending apocalypse.
Predictions of Worldwide Famine
Nostradamus predicted drought and disaster along 48 degrees latitude around the world. He references a lack of food and great famine. Most of the grain belts are found at this latitude. Lack of food from the major breadbaskets of the world, largely from the United States, would result in worldwide famine. Famine is mentioned numerous times in the quatrains of Nostradamus that refer to the end of the world.
According to author John Hogue in the History Channel's documentary, Nostradamus 2012, if the U.S. were to stop supplying food to the world, 100 countries would be affected and 400,000 people would die in just one short year on the continent of Africa alone.
End of the World Predictions of Supervolcanoes Erupting
The quatrains of Nostradamus refer to eruptions of volcanoes and destruction during the end times.
The supervolcano in Yellowstone Park has already moved into the "red zone," according to Lawrence Joseph, author of Apocalypse 2012. Mr. Joseph also asserts that a climax of solar activity can trigger the eruption of volcanoes on Earth.
Nostradamus Prophecies of Deadly Tsunami Waves, Global Warming, and Extreme Weather
In 2004, 150,000 people were killed in the tsunami wave from an unusual earthquake in the Pacific Ocean. The quatrains of Nostradamus could be interpreted to have predicted this deadly wave, as it speaks of dead fish and water far inland.
The quatrains also refer to global warming, as Nostradamus mentions seas heating up, rising, and extreme storms. Some experts interpret his quatrains to have referred specifically to Hurricane Katrina.
Predictions of Magnetic Pole Shift
Nostradamus alludes to blackouts and cataclysmic events caused by a magnetic pole reversal of the Earth in December of 2012.
In the documentary Nostradamus 2012, scientists explain that the Earth's magnetic field has reversed in the past, and could reverse again. The Earth is currently going through a phase where the magnetic field is weakening due to the solar system's orbit in the galaxy.
If the magnetic poles were to reverse in the planet, it would trigger a major collapse of all electromagnetic fields including cell phones, and all electronics.
Although many of Nostradamus' predictions were filled with dire warnings of cataclysmic disasters of famine, war, extreme weather and more, he did leave a message of hope. The hope lies in mankind's gift of Free Will. Mankind can choose to slow or even halt global warming, mankind can choose to mature spiritually and prevent war, and mankind can choose to write it's own fate in the Book of Life. The end of the world can be the beginning of a new world.
Then again, many people believe that absolutely nothing will happen on December 21, 2012.
