The 3rd and final Anti-Christ
According to Nostradamus, the first two anti-Christs were extremely evil, and history has shown this to be so; however, Nostradamus speaks of a third anti-Christ who is more hideous than all the others combined. Some have said Sadaam Hussein, the dictator from Iraq (proved false now), or even Osama Bin Laden. Could he be this evil tyrant? Others say that he has not yet appeared. What does Nostradamus say about this third anti-Christ? First, Nostradamus tells us he will come from the Middle East.
Out of the country of Greater Arabia Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed, He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban. He will be the terror of mankind. Never more horror.
Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces on an invasion through Europe. This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together. When will all this take place? In one quatrain Nostradamus gives us an exact date in which the war will be well under way.
In the year 1999 and seven months From the sky will come the great King of Terror. He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols; Before and after war reigns.
Nostradamus predicts the war will begin shortly before the year 1999. It doesn't make much sense to this author, but many are now saying that the 'war' was set 'in motion' in 1999, and now after Septermeber 11th these things are going to come true... as we are now 'at war with terror.' Interpret it how you will. He also tells us how long the war will last.
The war will last seven and twenty years. (so 27 years)
Nostradamus says that the war will be so terrible that the world will come face to face with final annihilation. Here, he implies that the war might involve some kind of horrible weapon, possibly nuclear. Nostradamus tells what the first target will be.
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city.
In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude. Experts agree this could only be New York. I know many of you are thinking of other websites that claim this means he predicted September 11th. Again, interpret it how you will. The sky did burn at 45 degrees, but New York was not destroyed, nor was it a nuclear attack.
By fire he will destroy their city, A cold and cruel heart, Blood will pour, Mercy to none.
Although Nostradamus 's predictions for our future sound frightening, the accuracy and dates he gave do not seem to flow. Are they being misinterpreted, or are they just plain wrong? Is the New City at 45 degrees yet to be destroyed? He does give us some hope by telling us how this third world war will end. He says it will end as a result of an unexpected alliance.
When those of the Northern Pole are united, In the East will be great fear and dread... One day the two great leaders will be friends; Their great powers will be seen to grow. The New Land will be at the height of its power: To the man of blood the number is reported.
Again, the new land was a common term used by Nostradamus to refer to what we now call America. The countries of the northern pole could be Russia and the United States. We have recently seen the breakdown of Communism in Russia and an increasing friendship between Russia and the U.S. Perhaps the two countries will work together against the source of evil.
LOL -- thanks, NHN. Is that a blast from the past, or what?
>>>>How do we know?<<<<
Damned if I know, as far as I'm concerned, I nominate my Mother-in-Law.
to read later
LOL, thanks. I first posted that thing some years ago -- not long after 9/11 when a bunch of these silly Nostradomus "prophecies" were posted here on FR.
One obvious and glaring problem with the "Nostradamus predicted it all" school:
Why is it that NONE of you ever brings these prophecies to light BEFORE they come true? You know, like when they might be useful?
Nostradamus only ever seems to make sense, somehow, in hindsight (when we have villians and events to shove into purposely vague quatrains in order to fill in the blanks). That does not mean he had any actual foresight.
If anyone can tell me what Nostradamus had to say about the price of Citigroup stock a year from now, and I'll split the profits (not prophet, get it?) with you.
Well... lets kill him anyway... just to be safe.
Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun have also been noted..
Actually, I'm not absolutely sure Nostradamus actually claimed this would be the 3rd AC.. Just the last..
There may have been more than 3..
Napoleon, however, was definitely considered one of the AC's, by Nostradamus..
Likewise, Hitler..
Regardless of the number, each and every one was recognized as a threat to mankind...
In the case of Attila, and possibly Hitler, also a threat to Christianity..
"perhaps he meant that he will enter Europe driving a blue Suburban."
Nice !!! Now that's funny, thanks !!!
The two reckoned in Catholic prophecies as part of a demonic trinity of anti-Christs are Napoleon, Hitler, and the last one who will present himself as Universal Savior or the World Teacher.
"On my cheek, there is the mole; between my teeth, there is the gap."
Many are said to have been moved by the spirit of anti-christ such as the leaders and people of all of the "hordes" i.e., that of the great Khan, Attila and the Huns, and the various hordes of Muslims especially the Mamelukes.
At times he does like to look just like that.
oooh,oooooo,ooooo or he could mean that only 45 degrees of sky caught fire and we're left with only 135 degrees of usable sky....

I burned my CITI credit card when I saw them mixed up in a Citgo Gas station commercial. Think about THAT for awhile!
CITI = Citgo = Hugo Chavez?
Probably Danish or Swedish, possibly Belgian or French, since they seem to be having more troubles with their Muslim populations' repressed sexuality. I would think that as a defense mechanism, they are taking a page from Darwin, and adapting camouflage so as to be less noticed by predators, thereby increasing the chances of survival.
I thought he wrote in somewhat, well, idiosyncratic Latin -- which I guess isn't incompatible with "undecipherable junk," come to think of it! ;-)
There was a sort of desultory style in him when I was in college (late 60s), but the only thing that struck me was his prediction (or so I heard) that the final battle would be with Islam -- and it only struck me for its implausibility . . . sand, camel jockeys, tents.
It is always us (US) who make overtures and concessions to get the green weenie in the end as in (result). They are bound and determined to defeat us through proxy.
