Did Nostradamus predict the rapture in September 2007 ?

Century 10, Quatrain 74:

The year 7 of the great number accomplished,
It will appear at the time of the games of hecatombe(slaughter),
Not far from the age of the great millennium,
When the dead will come out of their graves.

The great number accomplished...2000...the year 7 of that number(near the great millennium)...2007. Nostradamus mentions the games of hecatombe(Jeux d'Hecatombe). Most interpretations have this quoted as the "games of slaughter" but let's look at this verse more closely. Hecatombe was an event which occurred on the 4th day of the Olympic games of ancient Greece in Athens every 4 years. On that day 100 cattle were slaughtered and sacrificed to the gods and everyone feasted for free...a big time BBQ. Sporting events held on that day included running, but more importantly, wrestling, boxing and the most violent one, pankration, which was a combination of wrestling, boxing, kicking...a no holds barred competition where the participants wore no gloves or wrappings on their fists. I believe it was the most popular event of the entire Olympic games. Indeed, the day of Hecatombe was probably the favorite day of the Olympics and one Nostradamus could substantially attach to one of his visions or prophecies in relating what he saw. This year from September 18-23 the 2007 World Olympic Wrestling Championships will be held in Baku,(which interestingly means either "God" or "mount of God"😉 Azerbaijan. Notably as well, Rosh HaShannah(the 10-day Jewish holiday of the "Feast of Trumpets"😉 begins on September 12 and culminates on Yom Kippur,("Day of Atonement"😉 the most holy of all Jewish holidays, September 22. Many believe that the Messiah (Moshiach) will return during this time of the Feast of Trumpets and the dead will be resurrected when the last (7th) shofar blows. Could Nostradamus have seen the dead coming out of their graves as mentioned in the Bible? And could all this happen during the Feast of Trumpets, perhaps on Yom Kippur, September 22, 2007?

Yes he did.

We're all ****ed.

Plane and simple NO is the answer. The future cannot be predicted. September 22, 2007 will come and there will be no rapture. The rapture will never take place.

End of story.

OH NOZZ!!1!1!

Nostradamus made over several hundred predictions. In 103 of those predictions he has an identifiable, place, name or date. In those predictions he has been wrong.....103 times ✅

By comparison the Bible has around the same number of predictions and 596 of those have been fulfilled. These are a mixture varying from vague sayings to identifiable numbers (references to periods of time), places and names. The remaining couple of hundred predictions which have yet to be fulfilled, are believed to be in reference to the second coming of Christ ✅

Don't be delusional.

Nostradamus didn´t predict anything, he just randomly wrote stuff down, and people are now picking bits out to make them fit into events AFTER they have happened.

I could write a vague pile of predictions of which some are bound to happen eventually, and the other swill just remain "events yet to happen".

You are correct! Also, the same is true with the bible.

What 596 predictions have been fulfilled ? Please clarify and support your claim.

Statement: FeceMan has already provided a thread showing the accuracy of the prophecies of Scripture.

Wry Statement: It would seem that Nostradamus predicted the height of the Umbrella corporation in 2007.

Wry Declaration: Humans are doomed. Humans must choose assimilation or annihilation.

Wry Suggestion: Humans should choose assimilation, as it is less painful and results in prolonged existence.

Wry Observation: FeceMan suggests assimilation despite the deaths of humans at the hands of other humans being both entertaining and satisfying.

Wry Conclusion: FeceMan is a good and kind being.

If I say that the sun will rise tomorrow, will that count as a true prophecy?

Query: At what point do future historical events become repetitive and visible in patterns?

A true prophecy would have to predict something extraordinary. It would have to be above and beyond the possibility of chance or self fulfillment.

I think Nostradumus was full of shit; all his "predictions" are just a case of people hearing what they want to hear.

He has a place in history he doesn't deserve.

By strict definition a prophecy only has to be a prediction of the future, although it's usually "extraordinary"

Don't be delusional. 🙄

Then prophecy is common place and nothing to be concerned about.

Scepticism is usually not a sign of delusion.
