Nostradamus 2020: Three predictions that came true – is coronavirus the fourth?


Nostradamus is the 16th-century physician and supposed seer, whose writings have fascinated conspiracy theorists for decades. Nostradamus’ followers are convinced he predicted the Great Fire of London in 1666 as well as the rise of Adolf Hitler in 1933.

Michele de Nostredame, or as he is better known as Nostradamus, penned his predictions of the future in incredibly cryptic, four-lined poems dubbed quatrains.

The bulk of these prophecies were published in 1555 in Nostradamus’ magnum opus, Les Propheties.

The book, which was originally published in old French, is non-chronological and divided into chapters or centuries.

Although Nostradamus penned his predictions in vague terms, many believe they contain insight into the future.

Ther Great Fire of London, 1666

In Century 2, Quatrain 52, Nostradamus wrote: “The blood of the just will commit fault at London,

“Burnt through lightning of twenty threes the six:

“The ancient lady will fall from her high place,

“Several of the same sect will be killed.”

Many believe this passage is a reference to the Great Fire of London, which erupted 100 years after the prediction was written.

The fire began on September 2, 1666, at a small bakery on Pudding Lane in the UK capital.

The rise of Adolf Hitler to power, 1933

In Century 2, Quatrain 24, Nostradamus wrote: “Beasts ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers:

The assassination of President John F Kennedy, 1963

In Century 1, Quatrain 27, Nostradamus wrote: “The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt,

“The evil deed predicted by the bearer of a petition:

“According to the prediction another falls at night,

“Conflict in Reims, London, and pestilence in Tuscany.”

The “great man” in the passage is believed by some to be the US President John F Kennedy.

President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, by gunman Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas.

Did Nostradamus predict the coronavirus pandemic?

Many people have taken to social media in recent days to claim .

Nostradamus warned of plague in Century 2, Quatrain 6: “Near the gates and within two cities

“There will be two scourges the like of which was never seen,

“Famine within plague, people put out by steel,

“Crying to the great immortal God for relief.”

However, sceptics do not believe the French mystic could see the future.

Brian Dunning, host of the Skeptoid podcast, said: “Nostradamus’ writings are exploited in a number of fallacious ways.

“Ambiguous and wrong translations, ‘creative’ interpretations, hoax writings, fictional accounts, and the breaking of non-existent codes within his quatrains all contribute to a vast body of work, all of it wrong, and many times the size of everything Nostradamus ever actually wrote.”
