Actually Craig, the current thinking is that due to the calender Nostradamus used back in his times the seventh month (to him) would be September. Sorry to burst your bubble. Don't have the URL to prove that yet but I'll research it and get back to you.

-- (It's@not. my fault), June 29, 1999.

Oh my apologies Craig, your right I was thinking of someone else. Nostradamus did in fact say that the world will be plunged into war in the seventh (JUlY) month of 1999. (But that doesn't necesarily mean the world will end, M.Nostradamus only makes reference to this as the "beginning of the end")

Anyway, sorry to jump the gun like that.

Seems to me he also predicted a massive earthquake in May of 1988(?) that never happened. I remember seeing it in "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow". The only real prophet IMHO is one that is 100% accurate.

-- ariZONEa (not@nostradamus.fan), June 29, 1999.

actually he said NOTHING about war. That is just how some people have read it. He spoke of a King Of Terror coming from the sky. That was about it. If you go further into his writings though, after this crisis passes, he saw a time of great peace and stability.

Course, what can you expect from a French drug addict who wrote an a dead form of French that has to be translated into Current French and then translated into English?

"Everything that will happen will be in the future." Call me prophetic. You can quote me if you like.

Hey Craig,

I don't know what Nostradamus meant but September is called that because it was the seventh month of the Roman calendar. Septem means seven in Latin.

-- (m@d.n), June 29, 1999.

In the year 1999 in the seventh month,
From the sky will come the great King of Terror,
Bringing back to life the great King of the Mongols.
Before and after, Mars to reign by good fortune.

"From the sky will come the great King of Terror"

Stephen "King" went flying "from the sky" earlier this month. Coincidence?

Hi,

I think the reference (if it were true) is to orbiting stealthed nuclear hydrogen bombs which will ruin electronics thus reducing USA to 1920s economy, expect we will need to depopulate cities this time around to try to starve off starvation... lots of tent cities...a very Marxist approach to finishing off the West economy and thus military.

However, if we can bride the mainland CHinese communists and Russian communists via IMF loans and economic promises perhaps such an event could be put off for awhile. I don't think the British or French would instigate a bomb unless they felt threatened. I think the same of the Israeli's. That leaves India and Packastan and N Korea and Iran as likely spots of concern. If N Korea can launch a satellite then they might do it if they can't get economic aid packages from Clinton. India might get even if we support Packastan in the disputed province of Kasmir.,, what a political balancing act.

If there is a Marxist Stalin out there you are done for.

Uh, Craig, where did Nosty say we all 'kick the bucket?'

It seems he continues on into the 30th century with some of his predictions.

How can he do that if we all die next week?

Craig, you've lost it, fellow. Get a grip. Take a deep breath.

The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great King of Terror. To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.

Is this not referring to the U.S. / NATO and the establishment of the NWO?
King of Destruction = atom or nuetron bomb

So he missed by a month or two. Who is the historical King of Terror (colonization, exploitation, genocide)?
King of Terror = imperial Western European alliance

-- dan (samsun@intzone.net), June 30, 1999.


I read that the addition of an apostrophe in later translations changed the original text which meant "king of appeasement."

I find it interesting that Aztec "legends" predict great crisis on October 13 of this year. Some Hopi elders predict we have entered a time of great tribulation foretold in their legends. New Agers predict great "earth changes" before 2001.

Last year was supposedly one of the worst on record for natual disasters. We have unusually severe corona ejections from the sun. Apparently, there is unusual extreme ocean warming and some of the ice shelves have broken away at the poles. Then there is the new comet.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I just have had this psychic uneasiness since the start of this year, triggered by y2k. This nagging urgency to prepare for something.

-- anon (anon@anon.com), June 30, 1999.


Perhaps the "nagging urgency" is in no small part created by the fact that our society is quickly using up the earth's resources and poisoning it as return. Or maybe inevitable nuclear conflict has something to do with it. I don't feel antsy about this particular year, despite Y2K. I do feel overwhelmed at times by the direction this planet is heading, however.

It's like (and I paraphrase) riding an insane horse towards a burning stable.

For the record, I suppose it should be noted that human nature and societal problems haven't really changed over the years - only the technology (to facilitate good or evil acts) has.

If today is the 29th of June, then the 7th of July is only... (counting on fingers)... 9 days away.

Where are you getting "32 more days"?

-- hey (wait@a.minute), June 30, 1999.


The 32 comes from the fact that July was supposed to be the end as WW 3 was predicted as well as the comet being discovered.

-- Pat (BAMECW@aol.com), June 30, 1999.

actually, the end of the seventh month in nostradamus's calendar corresponds to our early august. nostradamus was referring to the solar eclipse of August 11, which combines with a planetary grand cross. i believe "the great king of terror" refers to that grand cross/solar eclipse combination. definitely not a comet.
