All my life I have been a skeptic, but there is no way I can be skeptical of something I stumbled upon yesterday, even after doing a lot of research on it.
Osama bin Laden could very well be the third antichrist that Nostradamus predicted will begin World War III. And it appears that we have begun the descent into the maelstrom of the third great war.
Americans need to cease their hurting for a moment so we can all ask ourselves what is about to happen. Maybe a seer called Nostradamus has already told us.
In 1564, the French philosopher Nostradamus predicted that three “antichrists” would cause great wars and destruction. Scholars have already shown that Napoleon and Hitler and their reigns match his predictions of the first two antichrists. In fact, Nostradamus was only one letter off in predicting the name of the second antichrist — “Hisler.”
Nostradamus calls the third antichrist “Mabus.” Scholars and Nostradamians believe this to be an anagram for the actual name of the third antichrist, who Nostradamus says will be from the Middle East, will wear a turban and will be born of water, meaning under an astrological water sign.
Osama bin Laden was born March 10, 1957 — a Pisces. And Osama bin Laden, or “Usama” as it is also sometimes spelled, can be eerily rearranged to spell Mabus.
So bin Laden fits perfectly into Nostradamus’s prophecy so far.
Nostradamus also said the “great new city” (New York) in the “New World” (America) will burn at 45 degrees latitude. Another translation offers this prophecy about Tuesday’s tragedy: “In the city of York, there will be a great collapse … two twin brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb third big war will begin when the big city is burning.”
It’s quite obvious that the horrific events occurring right now in our world are the events Nostradamus prophesized in 1564. And so, as we have nothing else to go on, we should look at what he prophesized for what is about to happen.
When Mabus dies, according to Nostradamus, there will come a horrible slaughter of people and animals as vengeance is revealed from a hundred lands and the king(dom) of the Mongols (it is debatable whether the translation is from a hundred lands or a hundred hands).
I pray that this does not mean that our retaliation to the attack will be the beginning of a nuclear war.
Because of Nostradamus’s prophecies, I believe that we will, as we have already begun to, pin point bin Laden as the leader of the recent attack on America and we will kill him. Once we do so, I believe a nation in Asia will reveal itself as an ally to bin Laden and will retaliate. And the world will never be the same.
Even if Nostradamus’s predictions are not accurate or are not about the current crisis, one thing has become clear to me as I read through his predictions. As Americans, we need to make rational choices now, more than ever. We are facing something far greater than we have ever faced as a nation before. The choices we make in the days to come are crucial to our lives.
We need to suck up our hurting and hold back our fists. If we lash out in mere anger and pain, the lash will strike us back. We need to rise to a level above that of the terrorists and not begin killing people.
We must not fight to avenge our loss; we must fight to remain strong, united and above all, peaceful.
