NOSTRADAMUS'S PREDICTIONS FOR THIS CENTURY (2000 - 2100)
Nostradamus:
"The leaders of the Church will remain backward in their
love of God...Of the three sects the Catholic is thrown
into decadence by the partisan differences of it's
worshippers. The Protestants will be entirely undone in
all of Europe and parts of Africa by the Islamics, by
means of poor in Spirit who, led by madmen shall
through worldly luxury commit adultery...
in the meantime so vast a plague that two thirds of the
World fail and decay. So many (die) that no one will
know the true owners of fields and houses.
The weeds in the city streets will rise higher
than the knees, and there shall be a total desolation of
the Clergy."
NOTE:
This prediction is more directed towards the downfall of the Catholic and Protestant Churches than it is about anything else. But Nostradamus does list what appears to be an army of "Islamics" as a reason for the downfall the Protestant religion and for it to be "completely "undone" in "ALL", not just part of, Europe. He also says that much of the Protestant religion will be undone in parts of Africa as well. And again, he lists the same possible army of "Islamics" to be the cause. He also mentions that these "Islamics" will be "led by madmen" and that they shall be "poor in Spirit".
He writes that the "Catholic" church will be thrown into "decadence" (a period of decline) because of it's many "partisan" differences. Partisan means a firm adherent to a party, faction, cause, or person; especially: one exhibiting blind, prejudiced, and unreasoning allegiance.
During the last section of this quatrain Nostradamus writes that "in the meantime so vast a plague that two thirds of the World fail and decay. So many (die) that no one will know the true owners of fields and houses." I take this to mean that the "plague" that Nostradamus mentions will be created by one of three sources: One, through a biological agent/weapon that is used by the "Islamics" that Nostradamus mentions above, two, through the natural process of Mother Nature going through one of it's many cycles, or three, because of Human Negligence towards the Earth.
He mentions that this "plague" will kill so many people that "no one will know the true owners of fields and houses". I take this to mean that there will be so many empty houses and fields during this time that it will become too confusing for people to try and figure out who owned what.
On the very last sentence of this quatrain Nostradamus writes that "The weeds in the city streets will rise higher than the knees, and there shall be a total desolation of the Clergy". I suspect that the weeds in the city streets rising higher than the knees will be because there will be no one around to cut them anymore after the cities have been cleared out of people due to this plague.
To finish this quatrain, Nostradamus gives us a clue about the damage that will have been done to the church by writing that "and there shall be a total desolation of the Clergy". Desolation means devastation, ruin. So therefore, we know that the Catholic and Protestant churches are both going to be facing some very serious problems.
