Nostradamus (Michel de Nostradame) was born on December 14, 1503 in St. Remy, Provence, France. Nostradamus came from a long line of Jewish doctors and scholars. He is considered by many as one of the most famous and important writers of history prophecies. He is famous mainly for his book 'The Prophecies, ' consisting of quarantine in rhyme. Supporters of the trustworthiness of these prophecies attribute to Nostradamus the ability to predict an incredible number of events in world history, including the French Revolution, the Atomic bomb, the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the attacks of 11 September 2001. However, no one has ever proved that Nostradamus's quarters can provide reliable data for the foreseeable future. Nostradamus had the visions which he later recorded in verse while staring into water or flame late at night, sometimes aided by herbal stimulants, while sitting on a brass tripod. The resulting quatrains (four line verses) are oblique and elliptical, and use puns, anagrams and allegorical imagery. Most of the quatrains are open to multiple interpretations, and some make no sense whatsoever. Some of them are chilling, literal descriptions of events, giving specific or near-specific names, geographic locations, astrological configurations, and sometimes actual dates. It is this quality of both vagueness and specificity which allows each new generation to reinterpret Nostradamus.

The first major literary presentation of Nostradamus's Prophecies, newly translated and edited by prizewinning scholars The mysterious quatrains of the sixteenth-century French astrologer Nostradamus have long proved captivating for their predictions. Nostradamus has been credited with anticipating the Great Fire of London, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and the September 11 terrorist attacks. Today, as the world grapples with financial meltdowns, global terrorism, and environmental disasters—as well as the Mayan prediction of the apocalypse on December 21, 2012—his prophecies of doom have assumed heightened relevance. How has The Prophecies outlasted most books from the Renaissance? This edition considers its legacy in terms of the poetics of the quatrains, published here in a brilliant new translation and with introductory material and notes mapping the cultural, political, and historical forces that resonate throughout Nostradamus's epic, giving it its visionary power.

ANCIENT CHINESE PROPHECIES TILL THE END OF THE WORLD, contains prophecies on events in China and the world, spanning over five thousand years, and till the end of the world as we know it. More recent prophecies are about the Red Guards, the Gang of Four in China, and the future of Taiwan. But, how dangerous is the conflict between the U.S. and China over Taiwan? Will China be unified? When? What will happen to the U.S., China, and the world? What effect does the lure of American style democracy and consumerism have on China? In the distant future, will there be an Apocalypse? Armageddon? When will this happen? Thereafter, Utopia and racial harmony, or the end of the world? Again, when will all this happen? The prophecies are translated from the works of Imperial Astrologers from Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), a Prime Minister from the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD), and the first Prime Minister from Zhou Dynasty (1122-221 BC). Since the publication of the first edition in 2000, and the second edition in 2002, many prophecies have already become realities. National Missile Defense, NMD, is to contain Russia and China. Even with the war on terrorism after 9-11, U.S., Taiwan and Japan co-operate to guard against China, and Taiwan independence advocates even want to drag the U.S. into fighting for them. Taiwan's staged presidential assassination on March 19, 2004, is predicted in Diagram 41. This third edition includes the original Chinese scripture, and states the year when China and the U.S. will collide over Taiwan. The prophecies in this book can be interpreted more clearly than those of Nostradamus!

An ancient prophecy of angels, demons, and human resurrection...A prophetic tale was secretly ciphered within the journals of Nostradamus. This revealed tale depicts the life events of a 20th century family whose members exemplify the rise to consciousness in an age when testimonials and proofs of life, death, resurrection, and interaction with divine forces are permitted and better understood. Through divine intervention the people in this family undergo the art of undying - resurrection - in an age when the forces of divine truth overturn ignorance and defy murderous inquisition. This hidden tale has remained safely encoded for hundreds of years within the mystic verses of Nostradamus. First published in various almanacs from the year 1555 through 1567, the verses were later placed in a collection and called the Pr sages. The encoded verses of the Pr sages cover the first part of a secret legend hidden by Nostradamus. This current volume one of the four-volume series portrays only the Pr sages, and other volumes in the Rise to Consciousness Series including the Sixains and the Centuries reveal the same hidden legend in greater detail.Nostradamus stated that after almost 500 years of shrouded mystery an interpreter would bring his verses to true light and understanding. Read the first volume of the deciphered hidden legend. The profoundly deep insinuations of the truths of prophecy; the magical, ingenious workings of the higher mind in divine writings; tangible proof of the Divine order, and the Divine plan of heaven for all human life through the Law of God are among the many staggering impacts of this secret legend as it provides ample evidence of the immortal life of the Spirit. More mind-boggling than The Bible Code, this work offers a very exact science of the ancient, alchemical art of the permutation of letters with the first part of the deciphered legend bringing a boldly challenging, hidden message to humankind.INTRODUCTION: The Pr sages in this book were written by Michel de Nostredame (Nostradamus) beginning in the year 1555 A.D. Many people have heard about the famous Centuries of Nostradamus as they have been in print for about 500 years. However, few people have been interested enough to discover the depth of the Pr sages of Nostradamus. You are about to embark on a mystical journey wherein you will discover the intimate and very real world of how angels and demons interact with humanity. God directs the course and destiny of life, and what is revealed in these secret, deciphered journals long buried within the Pr sages of Nostradamus will provide tangible proof of the existence of the Divine forces and their purpose in working within humans.Of utmost importance in understanding the Pr sages of Nostradamus and their intended purpose is the knowledge of how this material is presented. The Pr sages were originally written by Nostradamus coded into ciphertext that when read straightforward on the surface can be seen as general prophecies that were printed in almanacs from the year 1555 A.D. to 1567 A.D. There is considerable history available about these Pr sages for interested researchers. However, the mystical, spiritual journey begins when you truly understand the full intent of all of the writings of Nostradamus - the Pr sages; the Sixains; and the Centuries and how they were designed to support each other. The prophecies in the surface verses alone serve a valid purpose. In addition, these writings hide the same secret, ciphered legend. The secret legend is encoded into the original written verses of the three mentioned writings of Nostradamus, and this current work reveals the first volume of that deciphered, secret legend.
