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.
