I saw a program on a person from 15th century France named Michael Nostradamus. He was a man who made?

Question

prophecies and gathered them in a quatrains. The program never said who or what inspired him. It was not Jehovah but he must have been directed by some other source meaning Satan.Who was he and what were his qualification for predicting future events?

Answer 1

Of the alleged 946 predictions attributed to Nostradamus, only about 70 are considered to have had some kind of fulfillment. That works out to less than a 7-percent success rate. However, regarding the ‘successes,’ M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopædia comments that many are considered to be the “bold forgeries” of his interpreters, including the prediction of his own death. Others were “composed after the events to which they seem designed to refer.” Some are “strained” in their application and some are shown to have ‘fulfillments’ in a number of different events.

It's obvious that Nostradamus cared little for the Bible, but he used it to suit his own purposes. Although Nostradamus gave token allegiance to the Catholic Church, the following description of him, given by Charles Ward, sums up not only the man himself but the source of influence behind his predictions:

“What is Nostradamus? . . . a riddler, riddling of the fate of men; a man at once bold and timid; simple, yet who can plumb his depth? A superficial Christian, a Pagan perhaps at heart.”

(Leviticus 19:31) 31 “‘Do not turn yourselves to the spirit mediums, and do not consult professional foretellers of events, so as to become unclean by them. I am Jehovah YOUR God.

Astrologers, conjurers, foreteller of events, magic, sorcery and spiritism are condemed in the Bible, anyone that involves themselves in these practices are not Christians!

Religion today thinks nothing is wrong with these Bible condemned practices, in truth those involved with these practices are working with demons!

Answer 2

.

Michel de Nostredame (depending on the source, 14 or 21 December 1503 – 2 July 1566), usually Latinised as Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties, the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted a following that, along with much of the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events



Most academic sources maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power. Nevertheless, occasional commentators have successfully used a process of free interpretation and determined 'twisting' of his words to predict an apparently imminent event. In 1867, three years before it happened, for example, Le Pelletier did so to anticipate either the triumph or the defeat of Napoleon III in a war that, in the event, begged to be identified as the Franco-Prussian war, while admitting that he could not specify either which or when.

Answer 3

Nostradamus didn't predict anything. It's a load of rubbish. He made vague prophecies based on what he saw in world events. People then read prophecy into what he said.



Kind of like how Nostradamus apparently predicted the US and USSR going to war, which of course in the end never happened. They're written so broad they can fit anything you want them to.

Answer 4

Pray tell you come to the conclusion 'Satan' without knowing anything other than a program that you watched?



Most of his words were then Heretic. So mixing them up into riddles was a way around this. Some chose to do the same in paintings.



He was just a bloke.

Answer 5

When it comes to Nostradamus- you need to ask did his quantrains come true or are people paining bullsyes around the arrows/

Answer 6

He was just a man who got WAY OFF TRACK. A False Prophet.

Answer 7

He most likely pulled them out of his hat. He was just clever enough to phrase them so vaguely that people have thought they actually applied to real events.

Answer 8

a lot of these are generalised , a trick many psychics use , they have a 50% chance of being right or wrong , when they are wrong they will add a link that makes them seem they are on the right track.

Answer 9

Nostradamus (Dec. 14, 1503–July 2, 1566) was born to French-Jewish parents assuming the name de Notredame in southern France. He was called Michel de Notredame. His parents had been converted to Catholicism. There have been many legends regarding his early life, but the credibility of these legends, recorded by two of his relatives, is also questioned.

James Laver comments: Recent researches have shown that the noble and picturesque background which has been hitherto accepted by every writer on Nostradamus has no basis in fact. After recounting one such legend of Nostradamus’ predicting that he and a certain nobleman would eat a black pig instead of a white one for their evening meal, Laver says: There is, of course, no proof of the veracity of this story, Fascinating as these stories are, it is as well to confess that most of them rest upon the faith of the later biographers. Some of the stories appear for the first time in the seventeenth century, some of them even later. In his efforts to predict the future, Nostradamus was deeply involved in horoscopy, magic, astrology and the pagan ritual of incantation. In The Complete Prophecies of Nostradamus, H. C. Roberts, himself a student of the occult, says: Beyond a shadow of doubt, the methods employed and results obtained by Nostradamus in looking into the future were outside of the physical framework, forces we group today under the general title of Extra Sensory Perception. However, many opposed such astrological divination. Whitmore says: The writings of the early Fathers of the Church contain the reiterated condemnation of those who continued to practise ancient, heathen rites and systems of divination under the guise of Christianity. Likewise the early Councils of the Church pronounced anathemata against astrologers,sorcerers and adherents to occult sciences. The Council of Trent [during Nostradamus’ lifetime] laid down in unequivocal terms that bishops should suppress astrological prediction in their dioceses and ensure the destruction of all books which fostered the art. The New Catholic Encyclopedia reveals that astrology was used by Pope Julius II [1503-1513] to set the day of his coronation and by Paul III [1534-1549] to determine the proper hour for every Consistory. [Both popes were contemporaneous with Nostradamus] Astrology pervaded European culture just as it had the culture of the Roman Empire, and, though official Church doctrine opposed it, no one attacked the whole manner of thinking that lay behind it.

The French Grand Larousse Encyclopedique confirms that Christianity considered that astrology drew its inspiration from demonism. Can someone who apostatizes from Bible truth and becomes a servile prophet of demons accurately predict some future events? Yes, that is possible. In Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Moses warned: If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and offers to do a sign or a wonder for you, and the sign or wonder comes about; you are not to listen to the words of that prophet or to the dreams of that dreamer. Yahweh your God you shall follow, him you shall fear, his commandments you shall keep. That prophet or that dreamer of dreams must be put to death.—The Jerusalem Bible.

So it is not just by coincidence that some predictions of such false prophets come true. They can occur by the manipulation of wicked spirit forces. From the beginning of human history until now, demonic forces have manipulated the minds of submissive humans. These deceived human prophets are inspired to make utterances that harmonize with demonic schemes, called the strategies and tricks of Satan at Ephesians 6:11.—The Living Bible.

Satan the Devil and his demons can maneuver whole political systems. This fact was made clear when the Devil revealed to Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time; and the devil told him, I will give you all these splendid kingdoms and their glory—for they are mine to give to anyone I wish. (Luke 4:5, 6, The Living Bible) In this same encounter with Jesus, the Devil even quoted portions of the Scriptures in an effort to tempt and mislead Jesus.—Matt. 4:6.

Differentiating True from False Prophets

True prophets of God had to meet three basic qualifications. They had to (1) speak in the name of God—which a false prophet who knew the Hebrew name of God would improperly presume to do; (2) the things they foretold would have to come true—which in the case of false prophets might happen either by coincidence or demonic manipulation; and (3) their prophesying had to be in harmony with God’s revealed Word and commandments put in writing up to their time.—Deut. 13:1-4; 18:20-22. The third vital factor is especially where Nostradamus and others fail. The fact that they dabble in magic, the occult and astrology exposes them, for not one Bible prophet supports the use of astrology in communicating with God! Deut. 18:10-12.
