Nostradamus: the World will not End in 2012: Writing ContestThe problem with believing this Nostradamus nonsense is that all the prophecies require you interpret his metaphors and cryptic verses, add some numerology, and come up with a major event that fits the quatrain. Nostradamus style is so ambiguous you can make them fit almost any circumstance. What surprises me is that people believe Nostradamus predicted the End-of-the-World in 2012: When twenty years of the Moons reign have passed another will take up his reign for seven thousend years.When the exhausted Sun takes up his cycle then my prophecy and threats will be accomplished. Century I. Quatrain 48, like most of his prophecies, doesnt even have a date. A thorough debunking that the world will end in 2012 can be read at www.2012hoax.org/nostradamus. The following quatrains of Nostradamus arithmetically predict the End-of-the-World and a frightening scenario of the future at the end of 2022. [1] Jupiter and Saturn joined in Aries, Eternal God what changes. When after a long century the bad times will return In France and Italy what turmoil. Century 1. Quatrain 51 The conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aries is very rare. The astronomical conjunction occurred almost two hundred years ago, and then again on September 2, 1995. The long century brings this quatrain into the present time; as Nostradamus refers to the 20th century as the long century. The bad times in France and Italy have been going on during the 20th and 21st century. Fire from the heavens will strike the West, and the Muslim (Midy) world will rush upon Israel (au Levant), People will die of hunger without finding a root to feed on.. this is the third world war, the fury of the Gods of war, the revolutionaries (Escarboucles) will light their flaming fires, the war of revolution, and at the finish will be famine. Sixain 27 Nostradamus uses the word midy, or people of the south, to denote the world of Islam. Some people have claimed the word Levant applies to the Isle de Levant, a small island off the coast of France close to Hyeres. Others have claimed it signifies Japan, as in soleil levant or the rising sun. However, in Nostradamus time, it would have been understood as the Levant coast, stretching from Syria through Lebanon and Israel, to the Egyptian border in the eastern Mediterranean. The word Escarboucles means carbuncle or garnet, which is poppy or blood red, and signifies revolution. The famine mentioned at the end of the Sixain is of world wide proportions. We have September 2, 1995 as the starting point; now we need to find the duration of these troubles: The third antichrist is soon annihilated, His bloody war will have lasted 27 years. The heretics/unbelievers are dead, captured, exiled. The blood of human bodies will redden the whole earth. Century 8. Quatrain 77 We can assume the third antichrist will be the last one in history. Long awaited he will never return in Europe, in Asia he will appear.. One of the leaguer issued from the great Hermes, and he will have power above all the kings of the East. Century 10. Quatrain 75 In Hermetic terms the God Hermes stands for Mercury, with Jupiter indicating Islam. Therefore, Nostradamus states the problems the Antichrist starts will last for 27 years. September 2, 1995 + 27 years = September 2, 2022. The Book of Daniel: the World will End in 2023 NOTE: Research for this section came from an out of print book by Ian Gurney, The Cassandra Prophecy, published in 1999. The Second Coming Of Christ is generally considered the End-of-the-World as we know it. In order to calculate the date of the 2nd Coming of the Messiah and the End-of-the World, we need to identify the abomination that maketh desolate better known as the abomination of desolation. The abomination of desolation is one of the most important events for Christians, Jews, and Muslims, and was not identified, until 1999 when Ian Gurney wrote The Cassandra Prophecy, a work of unparalleled eschatological research. Jesus predicts the location of the abomination will be somewhere that is not only a holy place, but also a place that under normal circumstances would be forbidden. Within the Jewish faith the biblical term holy place can only mean The Holy Temple in Jerusalem. After its destruction in 70 A.D. leaving only the Western or Wailing Wall, the Holy Temple was never rebuilt. The ground where the Temple stood, the Temple Mount, and the Wailing Wall is to the Jews the most holy place in Jerusalem. Construction begins on the abomination of desolation in 688 A.D. On the death of Abu Bakr, Omar ibn al Khattab, advisor to Mohammed became the second caliph and ordered that a magnificent golden domed mosque, Islams third holiest shrine, be built directly over the most holy place in Jerusalem. The Mosque of Omar, The Dome of the Rock is the correct identification of the abomination of desolation. Applying the date of 688 A.D. to Daniel Biblical scholars acknowledge the words of Ezekiel who wrote 30 years before Daniel. I have appointed thee each day for a year. Using each day for a year. Revelation Chapter 11,verse 23. But the court which is without the Temple leave out and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months (1279 days). And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth. Revelation 11:23 These two verses appear to be talking about the same time scale and the same event. But only if we assume an average month is thirty days then forty-two months = 1260 days. An average month does not account for the extra day for a leap year. Using the reckonings from the Julian calendar and the extra day, the period of forty-two months is 1279 not 1260 days. We also know verse 1 refers to the area outside the temple as being in the hands of the Gentiles as well as the holy city of Jerusalem for 1279 years (each day for a year.); and in verse 2 the two witnesses of God the Jewish people, the Houses of Judah and Israel, will prophecy or preach for a similar 1260 years clothed in sackcloth. Sackcloth is symbolic of regret, repentance and mourning. What these two verses are saying is that the Jewish people will lose their place of worship including the city of Jerusalem; it will be given over to non Jewish people until the first few hours of the six-day war in 1967 (688 A.D. + 1279) when for the first time since the capture of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple by Titus in 70 A.D. the Jewish people not only had their own state May 14th 1948 (688 A.D. + 1260) they once again controlled the most holy place in Jerusalem. So now the Bible has correctly given us the three most important dates in the history of the Jewish people in this century; 1948, 1967 and 1978 (688 A.D. + 1290 The Camp David Peace accord). The last date recorded in Daniel, the Second Coming Of Christ and the End-of-the-World as we know it can now be calculated. Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the 1335 days. Dan 12, v12 Notice Daniel uses the term Blessed. Blessed is found throughout the Bible and is a word which is always a description of a state of grace that each individual can attain. A oneness with God, a state of redemption. Blessed is he that hath part in the first resurrection, Rev 20, v6 Within the verse he is telling us that those who reach the 1335 days being blessed, have passed through Judgment Day. 688 AD + 1335 years = 2023 Having been given this final dating Daniel is then told, in the last verse of his book: But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Dan 12, v13 The finality of this last verse is unequivocal and relates directly to the penultimate verse stating as it does that those who reach 2023 are not only blessed but will have reached the end of the days.
