WWIII

[NYM]

For all of you who thought America vs. Iraq would be a WW, you were wrong. But now it seems possible. Israel, Lebanon, America, Iraq, and many other countries are now involved in a war. Maybe this will turn into a great big war, WWIII. It is even predicted in the quatrains of Nostradamus. For all of you who said he was a fake, I guess this might prove he's for real if it does happen.

Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces on an invasion through Europe. This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together (Guentte). When will all this take place? In one quatrain Nostradamus gives us an exact date in which the war will be well under way.

In the year 1999 and seven months

From the sky will come the great King of Terror.

He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols;

Before and after war reigns.

Nostradamus predicts the war will begin shortly before the year 1999 (Roberts 191). He also tells us how long the war will last.

The war will last seven and twenty years. (Guentte)

Nostradamus says that the war will be so terrible that the world will come face to face with final annihilation. Here, he implies that the war might involve some kind of horrible weapon, possibly nuclear. Nostradamus tells what the first target will be.

The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.

Fire approaches the great new city.

In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude. Experts agree this could only be New York.

By fire he will destroy their city,

A cold and cruel heart,

Blood will pour,

Mercy to none. (Guentte)

Although Nostradamus 's predictions for our future sound frightening he does give us some hope by telling us how this third world war will end. He says it will end as a result of an unexpected alliance.

When those of the Northern Pole are united,

In the East will be great fear and dread...

One day the two great leaders will be friends;

Their great powers will be seen to grow.

The New Land will be at the height of its power:

To the man of blood the number is reported.

The new land was a common term used by Nostradamus to refer to what we now call America. The countries of the northern pole could be Russia and the United States. We have recently seen the breakdown of Communism in Russia and an increasing friendship between Russia and the U.S. (Reader's Digest 515).

I'm not saying any of this is true, but if it is, we will find out soon enough.

so isnt it 7 years late? and also, there was a whole nostradamus thing about predicting 9-11 too and that was proven to be all crap... .no offense... but i dont believe any of that lol

[fred13]

WWIII will only see its wheels moving after Isreal invades Lebanon to rid the Hezbollah. Even if that happens there is still only a slight chance that the war leaves the Middle East. There has been turmoil there forever so this is nothing new.

Nostradamus only predicts things that are too general and could be applied to anything. The only times people know about the predictions are after the fact. Predictions are only good if something is done beforehand as a result of these predictions, which in Nostradamus' case doesn't always come true anyway.

As far as World War III goes, I don't think this conflict in the Mid-East will escalate to that of a World War. Sure, it'll take longer than usual to resolve but the factors that primarily caused or led up to the previous World Wars aren't here this time. Besides, I think the first two World Wars basically started in the region formerly known as Yugoslavia so maybe the third World War if at all will start from there. And there was no way that USA and Iraq would have even come close to a world war. There must be at least 20 wars going on at any given time. None of them escalated to a World War. The times today are different than they were a long time ago. Most of the world's thinking is based upon something different than it was back then - the economy, money and wealth. Just follow the money and thee shall find.

And if Israel goes into Lebanon, Syria said that they would get involved and so would Iran but Syria is already involved giving Hezbollah the weapons. Iran would have to go through Iraq, which USA is in so that won't happen. The rest of the Mid-East countries won't interfere. Hezbollah when not fighting against those in other religions fight against the other sects in their own religion and they do not like monarchies or dictatorships that much. This would mean that the other countries in the Mid-East such as Saudia Arabia that have dictatorships or monarchies may feel threatened by Hezbollah as well. And I'm sure Lebanon wouldn't mind getting rid of this group from their government. Lebanon just ended a long time civil war and they don't have the army to go up against this group since the army was mostly depleted. Otherwise, this group wouldn't be in Lebanon to begin with -- they may be in another country.

Regardless of what is happening now, I hope that everyone can come to a peaceful compromise or solution. As if that would happen ....

[Filthy57]

Yeah, that's total crap. Wow, he can make vague predictions for the future. Whoopdie-do(sp?).

[jogar84]

If WWIII were to start, China or the Russia would likely be the initiators. These petty little terrorist harboring Arab countries do not have the power to start a world war.

Very well said meteamo. Hezbollah have been stirring trouble in the Middle East for a long time. It is nothing new. Unless a major political powerhouse (ie USA) interferes. The issues at hand will not escalate.

This is my favorite comment. NYM06 just got "RAMMED."

[jogar84]

Nostradamus predictions were obscure, partly because they were

written in code, metaphors, anagrams, etc.

If you want real modern-day visionary- look up Edgar Cayce. His predictions were much more accurate than Nostradamus.

I guess you didn't hear the part of where I thought none of this was true.

What I did say however, was that if it is true, we will find out soon enough.

BTW: The actualy 9/11 WTC attack was started in 1999. That is when the terrorists came up with a target. I heard it on a 9/11 show on the history channel.

So technically, you can say the war started in 1999.

[ELDoro]

I was at once very interested in Nostradamus, however quickly realized his quantrans can be related to nearly everything. Not to mention if you have read them in english they arnt accurate. Upon being "translated" into english people stretched the translation to make them more believable for this time period.

However, I do believe this has the makings of a world war. The first two world wars were not started by super powers but smaller countries bringing in the super powers because of treaties and politics. All it would take is for a country like Iran to nuke Israel....then we would get involved and then so on and so on

p.s. they came up with that target long before '99.... it was on Bin Laden's list as far back as say.... the first time he tried to destroy it.

[JoeRudi26]

I also remember when the 'World Was Supposed To End' on December 3 @ 4:56 p.m. from an earthquake that registered 7.8 on the richter scale in the year 1990.

The dates, time, and year equal the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0.

12/3

4:56

7.8

'90

With that said, most of the stuff that Nostrodamus wrote a million years ago have been twisted and manufactured to fit times, names, and events. In my opinion, it's crap.

If anyone can decipher some of his writings that foretells that the A's will win the World Series in 2006, let me know. Only then will I muster up some interest in buying his book. ;)

Couldn't agree with you more. It would take a major power to put the whole world in motion and start a war.

[omairee]

if there was gonna be a world war, it would've started when countries took offense to america entering iraq. since nobody did anything, it proved america to be the last standing world superpower. whether or not you agree with america's stance on any issue, as long as a majority of europe doesn't feel threatened, and america doesn't feel threatened, a world war will not break out.

That is exactly what I was thinking!

Dont forget this man:

[Fastflink2009]

Dont forget this man:

Geez that guy looks like a ladies man/pimp! But really I don't think there is going to be a WWIII any time soon, unless Bush does something else more retarted than invading Iraq!

[fred13]

Geez that guy looks like a ladies man/pimp! But really I don't think there is going to be a WWIII any time soon, unless Bush does something else more retarted than invading Iraq!

That's Kim Jong Il, president of North Korea. His rocket plan failed.

[fred13]

Actually Both World Wars were started by Germany. Which was and is a political powerhouse.

[omairee]

That's Kim Jong Il, president of North Korea. His rocket plan failed.

hence why i didn't mention him much. and considering he's been threatening to test for so long and we've almost just ignored him.

[jhath]

actually nym, the wtc attack was started way before 99 as there was a failed attempt in 92 i believe... so your lookin at like 89-90... so its still off lol

[MarkB]

The thing I find funny about all of this is that it's almost becoming globally acceptable to continue the so-called "War on Islam" (everyone knows all of those middle-eastern/Arab/predominantly Muslim countries are all full of terrorists anyway, right? No civilians at all over there!), yet North Korea can test nuclear weapons and operate a functional army without repercussions other than brain-dead politicians yabbering about it for a few days.

[jhath]

wait, mark.... arent you the one that says that the terrorists are not normal muslims and islam isnt really about all that terrorist crap? if so, then its not a war on islam... its a war on radical terrorist islamics.... also... quite funny yesterday when you locked that topic with the reply of simply "mercy lock" lol

edit: also, china and russia dont really care about iraq... they care about north korea lol

[omairee]

MarkB, you're not the only person to find it funny. I'm a Muslim, and thank God in my life I've had some rare cases of dealing with offensive behavior. The majority of people in civilized America are smart enough to know that Muslims aren't bad, just some of these terrorist claim to be doing what Islam "commands" them. Thank God for people who use their brain.

On a related note, the one thing that bothers me is when people make it obvious that they're trying to not offend me. If it's not natural for you, don't act that way. I don't take offense and bomb buildings the next. I get over it and know that they were just words.

But back on point, I think a lot of concern in the Middle East is in response to the oil in the Middle East. Not that America just wants to take the oil, I think it's more that America knows how much they depend on it, and if the climate their changes to be more anti-American, it would hurt our economy, so they need to press on "freedom" in that region, allowing free trade to continue.

In conclusion: thank you to everybody that uses their brain and doesn't treat me like **** and call me a turbanhead.
