I suppose there is no real way to measure the time frame between nostradamus' predictions, I assume we are still in century 1, as the war with Iraq (Located on the site of the original babylon) has not ended ( Two great rocks for a long time will make war,
And then Arethusa will color a new river red. ) If anyone has any information on what a "Quatrain" really is (in relation to time) please post. Here are all the predictions related to the "New City" (As New York, the entrance to the last babylon, which is America) http://www.crystalinks.com/quatrainewcity.html
It seems like the third New City prediction is indicating that of a nuclear explosion, and if I remember correctly, the "normans" had something to do with the creation of nuclear weaponry. He also refers to New York as the "Big City" in this one:

In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two Brothers torn apart by Chaos,
While the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb.
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.

The fourth New city refers to the "King", is the King the antichrist? Or Christ himself? Christ is considered by some "A king amongst men"

And the last one...I don't really understand, probably beyond my time any ways.

btw new york is located at about 45 degrees lattitude

The first prediction of WW3 in the "Holy War" aspect.

Muslims, wars, the Day of the Lord, the Harlot, the Lioness Beast
The reign of the Church from the sea shall be succumbed
Toward Iran one shall see nearly one million troops
Turkey, Egypt, evils shall invade

btw America is refered to by western countries as the "Harlot" or the "Whore"

From Monaco as far as Sicily
All the coast demolished and desolate
There shall not be any more suburb, city, nor village
That the Muslim invaders shall leave undone

Muslim invaders destroy that much? And the jews seemed so weak in past wars...

The Russians through an military good fortune
Shall be elevated to a high degree
Shall change their prince, one born in a province
Shall pass sea, troop shall climb over high mountains

The mass shall approach coming from Russia
The ancient Destroyer shall ruin the city
Violently desolated Romanie shall see
Afterwards the great flame of war shall not be quenched

In the great Empire with everyone's existence hung in desperation
One over the others shall secure it
But little time shall last for his reign and existence
Two years the navy shall be rotten due to poor maintenance

Norway and Denmark and British island
Through the united brothers shall be vexed
The Roman ( Italian) chief issued from French blood
And his troops shall be repulsed into the forests

By negligence French fleet shall be attacked by five parties
Tunisia and Algeria stirred up by Iran
Leon, Seville, Barcelonia shall fall (into Muslim hands)
Italian fleet shall not fare any better

Shipwreck of a fleet near Adriatic Sea
The earth quakes, moved with the air above
Egypt trembles due to Muslim extremist faction
A public officer renders a loud cry before committing suicide

A great army from Barcelonia by sea shall attack
All Marseilles shall tremble with fear
Islands shall be seized, reinforcement from the sea halted
Traditors shall swim in land

HAHAHA!!!! I've figured out quatrain 88 century 1 (The one after 911) http://www.crystalinks.com/quatrainscentury1.html

The prince is Saddam Heussein and he is going to die!


The divine wrath overtakes the great Prince,

a short while before he will marry.

Both supporters and credit will suddenly diminish.

Counsel, he will die because of the shaven heads.
(If you can't figure it out the shaven heads are the americans)

Similiar to the bible code's predictions in accuracy but less.. obvious. Nostradomus was a good movie.

The bible code can't really predict the future, the codists use values from an event that has already occured and get they're infinite data (yes the bible code is infinite by rule of combination) they used the number 911 and found (all in the same page of data) Airplanes, two towers, yada yada we know.

I find it funny how about half of Nostradamus' predictions come true right on the money, while the other half are totally bogus...making reading the future with his quatrains about a 50/50 chance...not very good if you ask me, but it still fascinates me, I definitely believe this is the beginning of WW3, which, according to the book of revelations (Another prophet's vision) will end in the battle of armageddon fought in jerusalem, which I also believe. I want to utilize the prophecies of John and Nostradamus to help in the future, revelations says that in the reign of the antichrist all the holy bibles will be burned, what could I do to keep an original copy so that I could reproduce it?

I also think that the war to end all wars symbolizes how weak humanity is in relation to logic...war is pretty stupid...but I'd like to believe it has something to do with the invention of computers...the law of the universe is math (you can't argue that) and computers seem to be their own virtual universe as a reflection of ours...and our world is bound together by gravity, which is positive versus negative (i.e. Good and Evil, or God and satan) and the basic written code (The code that is behind ALL codes) is the binary code, which utilizes only two factors: the number one and two...different combinations of these factors results in different results, as in real life. God created man and now man has created the computer (And a virtual interface in which computers can interact) I think that God's plan must have been to put us on this universe until we created a universe of our own (cyberspace) as to why he would do that I have no idea, maybe he needs the computers to do something...well, whatever it is, I doubt we'll see it in our lifetime anyways...
