Do the prophecies of Nostradamus represent accurate predictions of modern-day events like the terrorist attacks on New York City, or is the so-called prophet Nostradamus nothing but a very clever fraud? Many Nostradamus quatrains (4-line poems) do indeed contain specific references that include historical names, dates, places and happenings. The following collection of Nostradamus quatrains (a new one will be added each month) represents some of the more well-known examples of Nostradamus prophecies that have been successfully translated and linked to real historical events:
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #1-25
The unseen is discovered, hidden for such a long time,
Perdu trouve, cache de si long siecle,
He will, Pasteur, as a demi-God be honored;
Sera, Pasteur, demi-Dieu honore;
This is when the moon completes her great cycle (1880's),
Ains que la lune acheve son grand siecle,
But through other's slanders, he will be dishonored.
Par autres vents, sera dishonore.

This is a quatrain where Nostradamus actually alludes to the proper name of an individual (see also Q.5-57, Q.9-16). In this truly amazing prophecy, Nostradamus not only predicts Louis Pasteur's famous discovery of the long-hidden microbe, but also includes his name, and gives the date of the event as near the end of the great Cycle of the Moon in the 1880's (i.e. The Roussat Moon Cycle 1535-1888). Nostradamus then goes on to describe how Pasteur becomes the object of slander and ridicule by his jealous colleagues in the European medical community. Modern scientists have not yet been able to explain how Nostradamus was able to accomplish this amazing feat of prophecy, over two hundred years before Pasteur was born.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #1-32
The grand empire will be quickly reduced
Le grand empire sera tost translate
To a tiny area, which will very soon expand;
En lieu petit, que bien tost croistre;
An extremely low place of meager account,
Lieux bien infame, d'exigue comte,
In the middle of which he will come to lay down his sceptre.
Ou au milieu viendra poser son sceptre.

Quatrain #1-32 tells us about the first exile of Napoleon Bonaparte on the tiny island of Elba. Napoleon arrived on Elba on May 4, 1814, and was allowed to hold full legal (sceptre) authority on the island. The emperor soon grew tired of the restrictions of the tiny island, and decided to expand his empire once again by escaping and returning to France to regain control of the French army. Napoleon's return to France however, would be of very short duration, lasting only about 100 days. The emperor was stopped by the English general Wellington at the infamous battle of Waterloo, and he was exiled for a second time on the much more remote island of Saint Helena. Napoleon would be unable to escape his captivity on Saint Helena and was destined to suffer a slow and painful death from stomach cancer on the small island.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #1-35
The young lion, shall overcome the older
Le lyon jeune, le vieux surmontera
On the field of battle, by singular duel;
En champ bellique, par singulier duelle;
Through armor of gold, his eye will be pierced,
Dans caige d'or, yeux luy crevera,
Two wounds in one, then to die a cruel death.
Deux classes une, puis mourir mort cruelle.

Quatrain #1-35, concerning the Valois dynasty of France, is the poem that made Nostradamus famous in his own time. It describes a royal duel that took place on July 1, 1559, in which the French king Henry II, wearing a golden jousting helmet, was mortally wounded in the eye and neck by the splintered lance of his younger opponent, Captain Gabriel Montgomery of the Scottish Guard. The reference to lions alludes to the fact that both men had lions embossed on their shields. Henry lingered for 10 days before suffering a cruel death from his wounds. Nostradamus had recorded this prophecy almost four years before the actual incident occurred.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #1-48
Twenty years of the reign of the Moon having passed,
Vingt ans du regne de la Lune passez,
Seven thousand years & another shall take up his throne;
Sept mil ans autre tiendra sa monarchie;
When the sun will complete its weary days,
Quand le soleil prendra ses jours lasses,
Then accomplished & proven will be my prophecies.
Lors accomplit & mine ma prophetie.

Nostradamus tells us that in the last days, all of his prophecies will be proven true. Unfortunately it will be too late for them to benefit anyone in this doubting and highly skeptical modern world. In this age of high technology and extreme scientific accomplishments, matters concerning God and His prophets have been relegated to a rather insignificant position in the ongoing battle for the collective attention of the American public.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #1-49
Long before such events,
Beaucoup avant telles menees,
Those of the East, by virtue of the (Crescent) moon,
Ceux d'Orient par la vertu lunaire,
In the 17th century will make great conquests,
L'an mil sept cens feront grands emmenees,
They will nearly subjugate a corner of Russia.
Subjugant presque le coing Aquilonaire.

By the end of the 17th century, the Ottoman Turks, under the flag of the Crescent Moon, had conquered most of the Balkan peninsula, and were now slowly encircling the Black Sea. Russia's Peter the Great was forced to attack the fort at Azov in order to prevent the Ottomans from capturing the wedge (corner) of Russian land that lies between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. On July 18, 1696, the Ottoman forces holding the fort surrendered to the Russians.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #1-60
An Emperor will be born near Italy,
Un Empereur naistra pres d'Italie,
Who shall cost the Empire very dearly;
Qui a l'Empire sera vendu bien cher;
It will be said by those who rally about him,
Diront avec quelz gens il se ralie,
That he will prove less prince than butcher.
Qu'on trouvera moins prince que boucher.

Nostradamus in this quatrain describes the coming of the emperor Napoleon Buonaparte (see Q. #8-1) born August 15, 1769 on the island of Corsica near Italy. Napoleon would ultimately accede to the French throne, and conquer more land, create more destruction, and kill more people than any previous world conqueror.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #1-70
Tempest, hatred, war, in Iran not ceasing,
Pluie, faim, guerre, en Perse non cessee,
Those of too great a faith will betray the Monarchy;
La foy trop grand trahira le Monarque;
But the end begins in France,
Par la finie en Gaule commencee,
A secret sign for one to be hemmed-in.
Secret augure pour a un estre parque.

The monarchy of Persia (Iran) had continued on for many centuries, but in this amazing prophecy, Nostradamus not only predicts it's end, but informs us that the order to end it will come from France. And in 1979, the Ayatollah Khomeini, living in exile in France, did in fact issue his secret order for all his loyal followers to rise up and overthrow the Iranian monarchy, exactly as Nostradamus predicted.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #1-87
Enormous-promontories on fire in the center of the mainland
Enno-sigee feu du centre de terre
Will cause trembling of the towers in the City of New York;
Fera trembler au tour de Cite Neufve;
Two great rock-monoliths continuously will be attacked,
Deux grands rochiers longtemps feront la guerre,
This is when air-vessels shall turn-around to a new course.
Puis are-thuse rou-gira nouveau fleuve.

In 1981 author Erika Cheetham, in her famous book The Man Who Saw Tomorrow - The Prophecies of Nostradamus, stated that Quatrain #1-87 described an "Attack on New York," possibly involving its "towers or skyscrapers". On the morning of September 11, 2001, Arab terrorists hijacked two airplanes and turned them around to a new course intending to crash them into the World Trade Center towers in New York City. This incredibly accurate prediction of a 21st century event remains a subject of great controversy today. Scientists and academics still continue to insist that it is not possible for man to see through time. If this is true, then Bible prophets must also be included in that assertion. Is it possible that Nostradamus was one of the 500-year Hebrew prophets sent by God to warn His people about upcoming world catastrophes? It might be prudent to note that all God's prophets were rejected as evil sorcerors and frauds by the most respected religious authorities of their time, and that many of them were handed up to the civil authorities to be hanged, beheaded or crucified for their acts.
