Hehehe.... when fans started interpreting Hemingway's works in a different light (ergo, naa daw hidden meaning) he simply responded: "A bird is a bird and a dog is a dog." LOL

Prophecy and Prediction mean two different things. People blow prophecy out of proportion by saying its words AUTOMATICALLY mean a prediction. So please don't mistake both.

i.e.
Prophecy: If you don't eat you will die. (Of course, if you eat then you will NOT DIE. Unless matuk-an ka)
Prediction: You will die. (DUH!)

i don't believe this witchcraft and demonic ways of Nostradamus to predict the future.and he is even a false prophet...his predictions never been so accurate even an ordinary psychic apprentice kay generally predict what might happen in the future as looking around the present life we are in..no offense for Nostradamus fans nothing personal it is just he is not the real prophet.in the christian bible says "Nobody knows when will the world end" may it be tomorrow or next week or next month.or next year ,,next decade or next century and so on...Let us enjoy what God promise for us to live happily,peacefully within our hearts and to one another... Lumen Christi!may the Light is upon each one of us..

@all

Some predictions wasn't even the work of Nostradamus. They were written by a Canadian college student to "illustrate how easily an important-sounding prophecy can be crafted through the use of abstract imagery."

Yeah. If he indeed was true, why not predict something like "Hey, tomorrow if you strike 2 3 5 11 23 30 in Lotto, you will win" or perhaps a "A woman by the name of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will be elected as president of the Philippines"...? Specifics and details will give it more impact and if indeed came true, it IS what you call reality. Symbols and vague terms are nothing but works of people who are afraid to commit mistakes. They use vague terms so that whatever happens, they will just simply find a loophole to connect that vague term to the said incident in some vague way to make fools believe that the things they said actually happened.

He then began his project of writing a book of one thousand mainly French quatrains[12], which constitute the largely undated prophecies for which he is most famous today. Feeling vulnerable to religious fanatics,[2] however, he devised a method of obscuring his meaning by using "Virgilianized" syntax, word games and a mixture of other languages such as Greek, Italian, Latin, and Provençal.[2] For technical reasons connected with their publication in three installments (the publisher of the third and last installment seems to have been unwilling to start it in the middle of a "Century," or book of 100 verses), the last fifty-eight quatrains of the seventh "Century" have not survived into any extant edition.

The quatrains, published in a book titled Les Propheties (The Prophecies), received a mixed reaction when they were published. Some people thought Nostradamus was a servant of evil, a fake, or insane, while many of the elite thought his quatrains were spiritually inspired prophecies – as, in the light of their post-Biblical sources (see under Nostradamus's sources below), Nostradamus himself was indeed prone to claim. Catherine de Médicis, the queen consort of King Henri II of France, was one of Nostradamus's greatest admirers. After reading his almanacs for 1555, which hinted at unnamed threats to the royal family, she summoned him to Paris to explain them and to draw up horoscopes for her children. At the time, he feared that he would be beheaded,[13] but by the time of his death in 1566, Catherine had made him Counselor and Physician-in-Ordinary to the King.

Some accounts of Nostradamus's life state that he was afraid of being persecuted for heresy by the Inquisition, but neither prophecy nor astrology fell in this bracket, and he would have been in danger only if he had practiced magic to support them. In fact, his relationship with the Church as a prophet and healer was excellent. His brief imprisonment at Marignane in late 1561 came about purely because he had published his 1562 almanac without the prior permission of a bishop, contrary to a recent royal decree.[14]
