do you think GOD gave Nostradamus the power of prophecy. because he wrote down about what Hitler did hundreds of years before it happened and the twin towers and lots of other things.

Nostradamus would write it down like this:

end of days is near
many saw it coming
no end near to this
torture and dispare.



... that could be ANY day of the week. Say on 9/11/01 they found this quote:

Eagle soars
Children pour out of buildings
men weep for once
Women will rise up.

That could also be when The Stock Market crashed too. We just don't hear of THIS prophesy until after the event occurs.

No, he didn't.

He wrote incoherant babble that, if you stretch and twist it enough, you can sort-of make sound maybe almost like something that happened.

i was Big on nostradamus in the early 80's
i was also big on Hal Linsdey i think word for word Hal linsdey is more correct than Nostradamus himself.

however that said, there are many ways to "see" the future! i believe nostradamus Looked into a chalice of water to see his.
so, no i dont think his prophecies are from God.

Joseph of Egypt had a bowl of some kind, i forget what it was called. but similar things were known to exist
as for his prophecies specifically, they are so NOT specific as to defy interpretations correctly. that anyone can say anything about them only after the fact.
a true prophet is not a diviner, or a soothesayer nor do they prophecy for money, and if God does give warnings that saves people from events before they happen, it is to intervene before it happens which means precise understanding.

Nope. Not one of his prophecies prevented anything. They exist only to torment us after the fact, so no good god would be behind them.

Nostradamus did not mention the Twin Towers at all in any of his prophecies. As for the "correct" prophecies, it's all in how you interpet what he meant. And then there are those which he clearly got wrong (roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of all the predictions that can be dated). Some are "yet to be". Nostradumas has a batting average of just about .375 (according to some). Not bad, but not great.

Nostradamus predicted absolutely nothing.

When a "prophecy" has multiple interpretations, as all of Nostradamus' "prophecies" do, then it's not a prophecy. It's just broad language, and a decent understanding that history is cyclical. Write about an event that has already happened, use really vague words and people will believe you predicted something. They'll even go searching for decades for what you meant when you wrote it.

I could predict as well as Nostradamus.

No. God is not the father of confusion.

The writings of Nostradamus have been interrupted in many ways after many events. How can any of this be called prophecy? What would be its purpose? How would it benefit anyone?

No, actually he didn't. He wrote in quatrains that were so vague that they could be interpreted in many ways. This is a favorite trick of people who like to pass themselves off as prophets or psychics and is also used by people who write horoscopes. If it was REALLY a "prophecy" it would be perfectly clear before the event what was about to happen and wouldn't need us to try to fit an event into the "prophecy" after the fact.
