As the year draws to a close, it's time to talk about the apocalypse, baby, and no one holds us in a harder light than Nostradamus.
Nostradamus, or “Nos” as it's called, was a 16th-century astrologer, plague doctor, accused heretic, bearded prophet, and author of the Great Fire of London, the Rise of Hitler, and September The attack on the 11th is believed to have predicted the new coronavirus. The 2019 pandemic and last year's New Year's Day earthquake are just a few examples.
Known as the “Prophet of Doom,'' Nostradamus' dark worldview is thought to have been shaped by his extensive reading of the Old Testament and the trauma of losing his wife and young child, perhaps to diseases such as the plague. It seems that since he was unable to cure those he loved most, he tried to warn the rest through a revelation of doom.
Sometimes right, but more often not, our man's prophecies lean toward conflagration and catastrophe.
Nostradamus, who published his famous book Prophecy in 1555, gifted the world and its future generations with a quasi-poetic book that foretold wars, plagues, natural disasters, civil wars, political assassinations, and other light-hearted events. I did.
This book, full of phrases like “rain of blood,” is a timeless classic, and with 2025 just around the corner, we're all curious to see what kind of wrath and hellfire awaits us. Masu.
But first, let's look back.
When did Nostradamus' prediction come true?
The Frenchman is said to have predicted the powerful earthquake that shook Japan this New Year.
Outlining his predictions for 2024, the oracle writes, “The dry earth will become even drier and there will be a great flood.”
Followers of this psychic say he is referring to the magnitude 7.5 earthquake that struck the West Coast of the United States, killing 48 people, collapsing buildings, and causing a 3-foot-high tsunami. I thought it might be.
Nostradamus' predictions for 2024 also included the abdication of King Charles, war with China, the birth of a new pope, and the world moving ever closer to a climate change apocalypse.
how was he?
The Pope and King Chuck still sit neatly on their respective thrones and the papal throne, but the latter recently stopped paying allowances to his embattled brother Andrew.
In June, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told security officials that war with China was “not imminent or inevitable” and would be called a draw. The same applies to climate change. Climate change is slowly but rapidly killing us.
Although Nostradamus did not predict Donald Trump's 2024 presidential victory, American political historian Allen Lichtman, known as the “Nostradamus” of the election world, incorrectly asserted that Harris would win.
Nostradamus' prediction for 2025
With bone toothpicks in hand and eyes weary of the coming year, read a summary of Nostradamus' 2025 prophecies.
A possible end to the conflict in Ukraine
Nos predicted that financial collapse and resource depletion could end the ongoing armed conflict, which many believe is a reference to the current war between Russia and Ukraine. people are thinking. He wrote:
The entire army was exhausted from the long war and funds could not be found for soldiers. Instead of gold or silver, people will use leather to make coins. Gallic brass and lunar crescent sign.
References to Gallic brass and lunar crescents suggest French and/or Turkish intervention. Both countries support Ukraine and could play a role in brokering peace and orchestrating victory.
Plague and further wars
Far from promising peace, Noss wrote that England would be plagued by a “cruel war” and face an “ancient pestilence” that would be “worse than the enemy.”
Perhaps his insight refers to infighting among members of the royal family. As many can attest, family dynamics are actually a plague more terrifying than any enemy.
Or maybe our man had a spiritual eye for this deadly mysterious disease.
explosion in the sky
Nostradamus also predicted that in the dark days ahead, the orbit of a giant asteroid with the emo-tinged handle “Harbinger of Doom” would come dangerously close to colliding with Earth.
“A fireball rises from space. A sign of destiny and the world begs. Science and destiny in the cosmic dance, the fate of the Earth, and a second chance.”
Given the deplorable continued plunder and plunder of our natural resources, the planet's “second chance” may come as a result of human extinction.

In eerie prose, Noss conveys:
Garden of the World near the new town, On the path of the hollow mountains: He is caught and thrown into a bathtub. They were forced to drink water contaminated with sulfur.
some people believe The “Garden of the World” is the Amazon rainforest. The unpleasant part about jumping into a bathtub with a capital T and drinking sulfur suggests flooding and volcanic activity.
Rise of the “aquatic empire”
Perhaps these apocalyptic trends will give rise to the aquatic empire that Noss predicted will come with hydropower in 2025.
“Amidst a heaven-reaching flood, a ruler will rise from the depths. The Empire will fall and a new wave will rule from the Sea Kingdom, the Aquatic Empire.”
Flood miles high? A fallen empire? The surfing has already begun, guys.
