Nostradamus HOAX!

[Seifer]

Every one needs to know that all this talk about this is a hoax. Just about all the nostradamus websites I have found display a message ike the one I have below. I just toook the one that was best wriiten and displayed it below. It seems as though some sick person thought to make a funny or something by doing this and he is no better then the terrorist scum. this is factual and credible. I ask everyone if you want to read about Nostradamus make sure you know what interpretation your reading. the best way is to read the interpretation beside the original text. Well please read the below article and please spread the word of this being a sick hoax. I know people personally who believe this and are scared. Anyone who does this s a idiot. Last time, THIS IS A HOAX, so everyone quit talking about it.

The Hoax
Another hoax has been making the rounds. Here is the text included in the hundreds of e-mail messages that I've received from people inquiring about authenticity:


"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city."
"In the city of york there will be a great collapse,
2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos
While the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning."
- NOSTRADAMUS 1654

The first supposed prophecy does contain a few elements from various quatrains written by Nostradamus; however, they were not written together as one prophecy. The second "prophecy" being sent with lightning speed across the Internet is completely bogus, as far as I can tell. Incidentally Nostradamus died in the year 1566.

The following are a few genuine quatrains that you might find interesting. For the time being, I am printing only the English translation; over the next few days, I'll include the original French and short explanations on ancient place names.

I've not yet reread the Presages or the Epistle but I do hope to get to those very soon. The following are offered without comment -- and without proofreading.


Century 1, Quatrain 87
Earth-shaking fire from the center of the Earth.
Will cause the towers around the New City to shake:
Two great rocks for a long time will make war,
And then Arethusa will color a new river red.

Century 2, Quatrain 89
One day the two great leaders will become friends,
Their great power will be seen to increase:
The new land will be at the height of its power,
To the bloody one the number reported.

Century 4, Quatrain 16
The free city of Liberty made servile,
Made an asylum for corrupt ones and dreamers:
The King changed, to them not so vehement:
From one hundred will become more than a thousand.

Century 5 Quatrain 65
Suddenly arrived, the terror will be great,
The principal players in the affair are hidden away:
And the lady in the hot coals will no longer be in sight,
Thus little by little will the great ones will be angered.

Century 6, Quatrain 97
At five and forty degrees, the sky will burn,
Fire approaches the great new city,
Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up,
When they want to have verification from the Normans.

Century 8, Quatrain 17
Those at ease will suddenly be cast down
The world put into trouble by three brothers,
The enemies will seize the marine city,
Famine, fire, blood, plague, all evils doubled.

Century 8, Quatrain 59
Two times put high, two times put low,
The East also the West will weaken:
Its adversary after several battles,
Driven out by sea will fail at the time of need.

Century 9, Quatrain 81
The sly King will understand his ambushes,
From three fronts the enemies assail,
A strange number, tears from the hooded men,
The brilliance of the translator will come to fail.

Century 10, Quatrain 49
Garden of the world near the new city,
In the path of the hollow mountains:
It will be seized and plunged into the Vat,
Drinking by force the waters poisoned by sulfur.

Century 10, Quatrain 74
The year the great seventh number is accomplished,
Appearing at the time of the games of slaughter:
Not far from the age of the great millennium,
When the dead will come out of their graves.

Century 10, Quatrain 97
Triremes full of captives of all ages,
Times good to bad, the sweet for the bitter:
Prey to the Barbarians hasty they will be too soon,
Greedy to see the "plume" [feather or of smoke?] wail in the wind.

Well your translation sux. You need to reevaluate the one you have and try reading the original text instead of what some guy thinks it says. this is a hoax. The above I have listed there is nothing pertaining to that in the original text. So either Nostradamus or the guy who wrote your translation was spending to much time with Mr. Canibus.

[Seifer]

I just read your revised post and was kinda shocked. Im not telling you what to do or not do. Im simply asking you all to not spread fake rumors like this. My preacher has the original text and I have seen it. I can not quote it directly but I know for a god forsaken fact that this is nothign but a hoax where people have chnaged stuff around. It may be in one of the many interperations but it is WRONG. Im not telling you what to do or giving orders. Im simply presenting you with the facts. So read it and weap and dont be such an immature baby by telling me things like what you said. Immature.


[b]I might add that you need to look at the dates. Nostrodamus died before the time listed.[/b]

[Seifer]

you need help. I dont know how your days been and if you dont feel like being at the computer. GET OFF. I am taking flak from you for what? Stating a fact you dont believe in. If you can translate french and di that yourself you obviously dont know what your doing. I havent had a good day either but I dont take it out on people who are posting facts that people should know about. Im trying to make this topic a usefull piece of info for poeple to read. I know what I am doing. I have read it with my own eyes. I know exactly what it says and it is different from what it says above. I dont want this topic closed so if you want to flame me IM cause i dont want you feeling everyones head with your @@#%.

Please do not close this factual topic mods because everyone needs to see this. I ask justin to please not post anymore arguing facts that he needs to IM cause this is not the place to post this crap. My statement above is factual and the dates are correct. I have checked several sources and translations.


[b] besides every account of world war III that this is supposedly the starty of has noth9ing to do with what is going on right now. Either way we will find out who is ultimately correct in a couple of days.[/b]

[Justin]

I apologize..as I said I didn't mean to be offensive. Clearly I was. But I just didn't appreciate the fact that you seemed to be ordering everyone around. That was my only problem. But still I believe in my own abilities considering I passed French III with flying colors last year. And again I apologize for coming off and fussing at you for posting nothing but what you thought would be helpful. I entend to delete all my posts except for this one...

ok, i like to point out the fact that i dont believe in nostradamus. why??? i cuz predictions might be wrong n i htink predicting the future is an interruption with fate. thats my belief about the future

[Seifer]

Its alright. I understand I can seem a little demanding sometimes. I do not mean it but right now I am still very Pissed off. We have all had sucky days. We are all angry and will be for a while. I think when interpreting some things it just depends on one persons thoughts on the subject matter. Also the one spreading is a hoax, however their may be a version that says that. I suggest everyone who cares read some of the versions and decide for yourselves. Maybe I jumped to conclusions but this above is what [b]I[/b] believe and in no way do I want to impose that upon you. I just want to state their is a bogus version going around.

I think one mentions the city of new york when the origianl is i think city of god in most.

Others talk about Metal birds stirking two twin brothers. anyone intrested im me and i will give you some refrence site for you to look at and draw your own conclusions

[Seifer]

To respond to Ice Dragon, I agree with him to a point . I am a strong believer in the bible (king james v) I do not believe he could see these forecomings but after researching this about the excerts circulating I have seen where some of his stuff has hit the nail on the head. I am currently re studying and thinking both. Its quite confusing. My suggestion to anyone is to talk with your pastor or anyone who has alot of expertise in both fields.
