I don't think i have sixth sense intuition or anything like that. Although i like fortune telling and it is sometimes accurate :?
I am very interested in metaphysical subjects anyway.

Michel Nostradamus was a 16th-century French physician, astrologer, and apothecary.  His modern-day followers erroneously see him as a "prophet".  Those who study his alleged "prophecies" quickly see the quatrains are muddled and obscure before the "predicted" event, but become crystal clear only after the event has occurred.

Sensible people reject the notion that Nostradamus had any genuine supernatural prophetic abilities and maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are the result of deliberate misinterpretations or mistranslations.  It can also be rightfully argued that Nostradamus's predictions are characteristically vague, meaning they could be applied to virtually anything, and are useless for determining whether their author had any real prophetic powers.

I like your post. My only issue is that I wonder if he has a significant number of modern day followers who see him as their prophet. Why would someone word it that way? Maybe it is an ASD way of looking at it that is literal.

I developed an interest in him as a child at the same time I had an interest in Big Foot, The Loch Ness Monster, UFOs, Dracula, etc... That is how I associate him. He is a myth and a legend like Dracula. I imagine there are some Dracula followers as well.

Why would anyone even suggest that Donald Trump is the Messiah and Mike Lindell is his Prophet?  Probably for similar reasons: They need to believe in something that makes sense to them, even if it makes no sense to any rational person.

I Don't know who or what, 'ol Nostro was predicting, here. My guess is, James Randi.

I have a copy of "The Compleat Works of Nostradamus" at hand . . . would you please cite the quatrain's number?

Nothing shows up in any key-word searches, whether en Français or in English.

Maybe I should let you in on a little secret Fnord.... I been fabricating these things out of thin air, these nostry quotess, all along,...ya know for sh1ts and giggles...aka taking the piss...let's just keep that between you and me....mum's the world...hush hush .....I don't believe in Nostradamus. I am a skeptic, Like James Randi. I don't believe he had predictive powers, I believe , like you said, they adjust the writings to whatever incident happens, After the fact.

Yeah, I certainly respect James Randi, more than say, Uri Gellar.

My first draft suggested that someone would word it that way to promote the idea that extremist groups are rampant. I figured why go there with the politics. I realize you are basically copy and pasting Wikipedia. Maybe not, but it doesn't matter. It is just an observation. I can't argue with any of it.
