I've heard that reading his book of prophecies can actually drive you mad. but if we take for granted that what he says can actually happen then why don't we try to prevent it? (i've heard that he predicted the jfk assassination and 9/11)
Others say that 'associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power'. Does that mean that we can't understand a prophecy until it has been fulfilled? or that we subconsciously connect events with prophecies? and if Nostradamus was just speaking generally then why don't we say the same about prophets during Jesus time? Do we tend to attribute world events to various prophecies out of guilt?
