Throughout the years, many people have predicted the end of the world, but perhaps the most notorious of these future seers is Nostradamus. Few psychics have had the degree of success at making predictions that we've seen from Nostradamus. He lived from 1503 to 1566 and historians and observers believe that approximately fifty percent of his predictions have already come true.
Some of the most famous predictions that have come true are predictions about World War I and World War II, Hitler, Napoleon, and the atomic destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The current interest in the Nostradamus end of world predictions revolve around his predictions for massive unrest and trouble in the time between 2009 and 2012. When you combine this with the idea of the December 21, 2012 end-date of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, things become interesting indeed.
In addition to this unrest, some believe that Nostradamus also predicted President Obama taking office.
Nostradamus' predictions are quite remarkable, especially given that the events and technology that he was seeing were hundreds of years more advanced than those of his time. Imagine how confusing that must have been to him!
The problem with thinking that the Nostradamus end of world theories point to a 2012 end date is that the predictions continue on long past 2012. In fact, he claimed to see things until the year 3797. This suggests that even though he saw catastrophic events for this time in our life, he didn't think that it would be the end of the world.
Instead, his predictions may be leading to a more Armageddon-like situations--a sort of "end of the world as we know it", which later results in a much better world on the other side.
Though some may deny the accuracy of the events that Nostradamus predicted, saying that people stretch the events to fit in with his predictions, he does seem to predict tumultuous times for this time period that we're in. Will it be the end times? Nostradamus seems to believe that it won't actually be the end.
