Napoleon was an antechrist!? didn't seee that one coming

interesting thought otts.

I think that GW is not the antichrist, but you never know.

what is the coming of the antichrist supposed to mean anyway? end of the world as we know it?

Or how about this Nostrudamus 'dAMUS". Rearrange the letters and flip the d for 'MABUS'.
Or mirror Saddam/mabbaS.
Or OSA'MABUS'H.
Or rearrange MAbUS to Md USA[like hister river]
Yep!

I remember watching on the History (Discovery) Channel about Nostradamus, and they pretty much debunked every piece about him. People want to believe what they want to believe, people see what they want to see. It was a good show nonetheless.

LOL, I love the OL, Nostradamus third Ante-christ subject.
Because it is a. in an old foreign language b, a style requiring imaginative lateral thinking, you could probably make a case for any person in power being the next Ante-christ.
I just did a google for, Nostradamus third antechrist, and the first four links I clicked claimed unequivocally that the next Ante-christ would be;
Vladimir Putin
George Bush/Donald Rumsfeld
Saddam Hussein
and somebody from France, depending on which link you opted for.
I'm sure had I been bothered to click the other 66,000 matches I'd have eventually come across myself on the list.

In Nostradamus, what happens is a 27-year war, starting in 1999 and going until 2026, resulting in the destruction of many large cities and the death of millions... except that afterwards things get better, with the return of either Christ or a monarchic figure to usher the world into a new age of peace.

Trouble is - and it has been pointed out in this thread - that for various reasons the prophecies are written in riddles or anagrams, and lend themselves to interpretation too much. Plus, the only one which actually had a date in it - 1999 - turned out to be a dud.

Smudge - You probably ended up on the "Mabus Centre" or "Mabus Watch", which has even the Pope and Prince William as Mabus.

Otts:

I guess the "dud" prophecy you're talking about for 1999 was the "King of Terror" one?

Didn't he use a different calendar system than the one we currently use, if so isnt the dating of his 1999 based on his calendar? If so, then the King of Terror I believe would be off by quite a bit still, but it's been awhile and I forget the exact differential between our current calendar system, and the one that was used by him.


Just a thought.

TS

Seeker: Nostradamus used the Julian calendar, which had a differential of about twelve days with the modern Gregorian calendar. And there's a possibility that in his time the New Year was still celebrated March 1st. That's all I know.

Anyone has other ideas as to the time differential?

Ah there we go. Quite right! It was just a shot in the dark, I gave some thought to nosty some years back, but the quatrains seemed so "open ended" in many instances, so I let it go to the wayside to be honest with ya. Good luck on it though, it would be interesting to be able to interpret him with more accuracy.

Problem is "ante" is a latin word, Nostradomus wrote in Old French (now a completely dead language that only the most whacko of scholars even attempt at understanding).

So your whole basis of argument is flawed.

Saddam Hussein (whom Nostradamus referred to as "Mabus") fit the bill completely.

Saddam was indeed an imperialistic Middle Eastern ruler who had a close alliance with Russia. He had Russian military advisors (and weapons shipped into his country), just as predicted. Saddam Hussein’s regime was also known for its brutality in having many innocents tortured and/or murdered.

If Hussein’s military machine wasn’t significantly weakened by the US-led coalition in 1992 (after he invaded Kuwait), he would have proceeded on to taking over Saudi Arabia and then eventually fulfilled Nostradamus' prophecy with a full-scale invasion of Europe.

One must remember that the probable future changes as we change the present. If someone was successful in assassinating Adolph Hitler before he rose to power, then the Second Antichrist predicted by Nostradamus (whom he referred to as "Hister") would also have been stopped.

Finally, even though the Third Antichrist predicted by Nostradamus has emerged and has been defeated does not prevent some other lunatic with enough military backing to start a major war, even a nuclear one.

We must always remain vigilant.

the discovery channel recently 'debunked' the sky being blue and water being wet as well. (satire, not false or misleading info)
mainstream media 'debunks' everything. the status quo MUST be maintained!

A prophet of God is correct 100% of the time. So, what's Nostradamus hit/miss ratio? If anything less that 100% then not a prophet. It fun to read what kind of stuff people make up about what Nostradamus said AFTER some event. Kinda like trying to put a square peg in a round hole, you can make it fit but you usually have to beat it in. Isn't a true prophet of God supposed to fortell what WILL happen clearly so that people will have time to repent? And the prophet of God always came with the notice that if the people repented that they would be spared.

Oh yeah, I forgot, there are some in this thread that don't believe in the almighty. We're going to be these light beings. In fact, I feel my DNA changing right now. This is a bunch of hooey.

Sorry to hear that, but Nostradamus is far from being credible. He was just a man as so many equate Jesus to.

Ok, call me crazy. I was watching the news about the kidnapping of the South Korean and the possibility that Abu Musab al Zarqawi was responsible for this as well as the Johnson execution.
My new candidate for Anti-Christ/Mabus = Abu MUSAB al Zarqawi. It's a shot in the dark, but I just thought I'd bring this up (If it hasn't already been discussed).

Joey - Why I started this thread. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of that!

I had the thought and became so agitated that I posted before reading your entire OP. Very coincidental, huh? He seems to have taken control of many of the terrorist activities and the ones that have the most emotional impact. We shall see.
