Nostradamus On World War III

Michel de Nostredame (14 or 21 December 1503 – 2 July 1566) usually Latinised as Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties (The Prophecies), the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted a following that, along with much of the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events.
Nostradamus is also known for his prophecies which describe in detail some of the major battles that are going to take place during World War III.

Here Are Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecies:

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“The Anti-Christ three very soon Annihilates,
Twenty-seven bloody years his war will last.
Heretics dead, captive, exiled.
Water red hail cover the Earth.”

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“One who the infernal Gods of Hannibal
Will cause to be born, terror to all mankind,
Never more horror nor the newspapers
tell of worse in the past,
Then will come to the Italians through Babylon.”

NOTE:
This one seems to be about the Anti-Christ as well, and of the travel routes of forces that will attack the Italian army. It also states that the route that these forces will take to attack the Italians will be through Babylon (Modern Day Iraq).
Babylon was a city-state of ancient Mesopotamia (which was sometimes considered an Empire), the remains of which can be found in present-day Al Hillah, Babil Province, Iraq, about 85 kilometers (55 mi) south of Baghdad.

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“The year, seventh month,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror:
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.”

NOTE:
In this prediction it appears that Nostradamus is describing some kind of supernatural type of event that will allow someone with great influence over the “mongols” (Mongolians?) to gain great power from it’s influence.
China does have alot of leverage over Mongolia, and the current Chinese President does as well.
We have long since wondered if the current Chinese President could one day turn out to be the Anti-Christ. Only time will tell.  If not the current Chinese President, it could very well be the one right after him.
This “King of the Mongols” line could easily be a reference to China. No other countries on the planet have as much influence over Mongolia than do China/Russia. We seriously doubt that the Mongolians would take the side of Russia over the side of the Chinese. So that leaves only China and/or a Leader from China as the “King Of the Mongols”.

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“A horrible war which is being prepared in the west,
The following year the pestilence will come,
So very horrible that young nor old,
nor animal (may survive).
Blood fire Mercury Mars Jupiter in France.”

NOTE:
This prediction seems to be about World War 3 and a war being prepared in the west. This could be a reference to the Illuminati controlled Nations in Europe and even the U.S.
He also seems to claim that during this time there will be “blood” and “fire” in France.

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“The Oriental will come out of his Seat,
Crossing the Apennie Mountains seeing France:
Transported through the sky the waters and snows,
And shall strike everyone with his rod.”

NOTE:
In this one he describes someone from the orient coming out of his seat and rising up against the World. This could very well be a reference to a Chinese or Mongolian leader. If we look at it to mean China, then we can understand that what Nostradamus is saying is that Chinese and Mongolian forces will cross some mountains and that whoever is in charge of this army will meet with France, possibly to declare/wage war. The hint we are given that this won’t be a very friendly meeting is because he specifically states that this leader and his forces (who will travel by air, land, and sea) will “Strike everyone with his rod”. Clearly that is a statement that refers to some kind of attack or another.
He plainly states that the route this Oriental leader will take will be across the Apennie Mountains. The Apennines or Apennine Mountains is a mountain range stretching 1000 km from the north to the south of Italy along its east coast, traversing the entire peninsula, and forming the backbone of the country.

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“From the Black Sea and Central Asia,
A King will come to see France,
He will pass through Alania and Albania,
And in Istanbul will leave his bloody Rod.”

NOTE:
Here he appears to be talking about China’s leader again. He mentions that the Leader will come to France, and also that he will pass through the territories of Alania and Albania, and then that he will “leave his bloody rod” in Istanbul. Istanbul probably means Turkey, so this looks like a prediction of an attack on Turkey as well.
He also mentions that the king/leader will come from the Black Sea/Central Asia before he goes to France. So he gives us a clue as to where this leader (and his army I would assume) will be coming from before the attack on Turkey.

Even before the attack on Turkey, Nostradamus mentions that this “king” and his army will pass through Alania and Albania.
Alania was a medieval kingdom of the Alans (proto-Ossetians) that flourished in the Northern Caucasus, roughly in the location of latter-day Circassia and modern North Ossetia-Alania, from the 8th or 9th century until its destruction by the Mongol invasion in 1238-39. Its capital was Maghas, and it controlled a vital trade route through the Darial Pass.

Albania is a country in South Eastern Europe. It is bordered by Greece to the south-east, Montenegro to the north, Kosovo to the northeast, and the Republic of Macedonia to the east. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west, and on the Ionian Sea to the southwest. It is less than 72 km (45 miles) from Italy, across the Strait of Otranto which links the Adriatic Sea to the Ionian Sea.

Last, Nostradamus states that in Istanbul (Turkey) this “King”/leader will “leave his bloody rod”. Possibly he means that there will be an extreme attack on the city of Istanbul, Turkey, and that the leader will stop there for at least awhile if not for good. Perhaps this is where he will station his troops for awhile?
Istanbul, historically Byzantium and later Constantinople, is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in Europe, after London and Moscow. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province. It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922).

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“From Fez the Kingdom stretches out across Europe,
The city burns, and sword slices:
The great one of Asia Land and Sea a great army.
That blue, Persia, cross, driven to death.”

NOTE:
In this prediction he appears to be describing the size of the Chinese army. He also mentions the “great one of Asia”, which most likely represents the leader of China who he seems to claim will rise up against the World. Also it looks like he mentions that they (the Red Chinese Army) will use both the Sea and Land for their warfare.
He also mentions the Kingdom of Fez. The Kingdom of Fez was a state of North Africa. It bordered the Mediterranean Sea to its north, Spain (Melilla) to the northeast, Abdalwadid to the east, Saadi dynasty by Oum Er-Rbia River to the south, Atlantic ocean to the west, and Portugal (Ceuta) to the northwest.
Jeane Dixon also claims that the various African nations will join forces with the Arabs and Chinese in World War 3 against Europe. Perhaps this is a reference to those forces.
The Kingdom of Fez was formed when Abu Abd Allah al-Sheikh Muhammad ibn Yahya conquered the city of Fes, Morocco from King Shorfa in 1472. So the other possibility could be that he is directly referring to the city of Fes, Morocco. He does go on to claim that the “city burns, and sword slices.” Therefore he could literally be describing an attack on the city of Fes, Morocco itself.
Fes or Fez is the fourth largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakech with a population of 946,815 (2004 census). It is the capital of the Fès-Boulemane Region.
Fes is one of the four so-called “imperial cities” (the others are Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat). It is separated into three parts, Fes el Bali (the old, walled city), Fes-Jdid (new Fes, home of the Mellah), and the Ville Nouvelle (the French-created, newest section of Fes).

Nostradamus gives us a clue that seems to point to the Arab forces directly when he states, “That blue, Persia,”, thereby almost completely confirming the exact three aggressors that Jeane Dixon mentioned so many hundreds of years later.
He also gives us a clue as to what areas will be attacked by the Arabs/Iranians when he writes “cross, driven to death”. Clearly this is a reference to an attack on Christianity (Those who worship the cross). So perhaps Nostradamus is hinting here that it will be Christian nations who will be targeted by the Persians (Arabs/Iranians) when he wrote that portion of the quatrain.
The Persian Empire was a series of successive Iranian or Iraniate empires that ruled over the Iranian plateau, the original Persian homeland, and beyond in Western Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Most of the successive states in Greater Iran prior to March 1935 are collectively called the Persian Empire by Western historians.
Therefore it is also entirely possible that Nostradamus here is referring directly to the Country of Iran/and or the Iranian forces that are said to join with the Chinese and African nations in the war against Europe (World War 3).
The Chinese, Mongolians, the various African nations, and the various Arab nations. All 3 Jeane Dixon also said will be involved in World War 3. In this quatrain Nostradamus’s work seems to back up that statement by making reference to all 3 of them.

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“That which is enclosed in iron and letter in a fish,
Out will go one who will then make war,
He will have his fleet well rowed by sea,
Appearing near Latin land.”

NOTE:
This could be again describing the “Oriental” leader’s navy. Or possibly the Arab fleet that is supposed to join him. It could also be African soldiers who I am guessing will be riding along on some of the boats provided by countries like China/Iran, etc.
The description of the iron and letter in a “fish” sounds like something brought on board a ship. The “fish” could well be a reference to a modern day submarine.
This particular person who “goes out to make war” Nostradamus claims will have his “fleet well rowed by sea”. So obviously this person will be in command of a type of navy.
Last, Nostradamus gives us a specific geographical location that we can expect this fleet to come ashore on/make war upon. He states that it will be “near Latin land”. So that gives us a pretty good idea of what we can come to expect from this seemingly purely naval attack during World War 3.

Nostradamus’s World War III Prophecy:
“The troubles of Israel will come to Po;
Tagus, Tiber, Lake of Geneva and
Tuscany.”

NOTE:
This appears to be a prediction describing the troubles that Israel is both facing now and will be facing during World War 3. He clearly states that the “troubles of Israel” will spill over into other parts of the World. Therefore being a key factor of World War 3.
The name “Israel” first appears in the Bible as the name given by God to the patriarch Jacob ( Genesis 32:28 ), which can be translated as “God contended”. The name already occurs in Eblaite and Ugaritic texts as a common name. Commentators differ on the original literal meaning. The first definition of the promised land (Genesis 15:13-21) calls it “this land”. In Genesis 15, this land is promised to Abraham’s “descendants”, through his son Isaac, while in Deuteronomy 1:8, it is promised explicitly to the Israelites, Abrahams descendants through Jacob. A more detailed definition is given in Numbers 34:1-15 for the land explicitly allocated to nine and half of the Israelite tribes after the exodus. In this passage, the land is called “Land of Canaan”. The expression “Land of Israel” is first used in a later book, Samuel 13:19. It is used often in the book of Ezekiel and also by Matthew. More precise geographical borders are given in Exodus 23:31 which describes borders as marked by the Red Sea, the “Sea of the Philistines” i.e the Mediterranean, and the “River,” i.e. the Euphrates the traditional furthest extent of the Kingdom of David.
The modern state of Israel has its roots in the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), a concept central to Judaism since ancient times, and the heartland of the ancient Kingdom of Judah to which modern Jews are usually attributed. After World War I, the League of Nations approved the British Mandate of Palestine with the intent of creating a “national home for the Jewish people.
The Land of Israel is the region which, according to the Hebrew Bible, was promised by God to the descendants of Abraham through his son Isaac and to the Israelites, descendants of Jacob, Abraham’s grandson. It constitutes the Promised Land and forms part of the Abrahamic, Jacob and Israel covenants. Mainstream Jewish tradition regards the promise as applying to all Jews, including descendants of converts.

The Kingdom of Judah was the nation formed from the territories of the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, and was named after Judah, son of Jacob (Israel). Its capital was Jerusalem. The kingdom maintained a separate existence for three hundred and eighty-nine years. It occupied an area of about 8,900 km2 (3,436 sq mi).

In Nostradamus’s day, modern day Israel did not exist, but the ancient “Land of Israel” (the Kingdom of Judah) had, and so this must be what he was referring to when he used the term Israel. Of course, it’s possible that he used his ability to gain a sense of what Israel would be like today, so he very well could have been referring to the exact location of our modern day Israel as well. Either way, he mentions Israel as a major factor.
Modern day Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia located on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. The West Bank and Gaza Strip are also adjacent. With a population of about 7.28 million, the majority of whom are Jews, Israel is the world’s only Jewish state. It is also home to other ethnic groups, including most numerously Arab citizens of Israel, as well as many religious groups including Muslims, Christians, Druze, Samaritans and others.

The other places listed above are in Spain and Italy. Apparently, Nostradamus is warning here that the troubles of Israel will spread to both Spain and Italy, causing war to erupt in those nations.
