It is unfortunate that many people today have the notion that the famed sixteenth century French seer was a prognosticator of doom and gloom, since the majority of modern books, tabloid articles, television specials, and movie videos made about his prophecies have focused primarily on his more dire forebodings. The truth is, Nostradamus also gave quite a number of very positive predictions about the year 2000 and beyond.
In essence, what Nostradamus did in his prophetic messages was to set a mirror before us, showing us the different pathways we can take that already exist within us. Which of his prophecies we choose to fulfill remains up to us.
Here are a few samples of his verses for the years 1999 to 2001:
Saturn moving from Sagittarius through Aquarius (1988 to 1994),
Will be at the high point of its exaltation (a time when choices need to be made), After that comes epidemics, famine, death by military action (war), When the century and millennium will find their renewal (2001). 1,16.
The year 1999, July,
Through the sky will travel a great King of terror, He will be the King of the Mongols (Genghis Khan) returned, Against everyone, he will inflict Mars (war) to his advantage. X, 72.
Now contrast these predictions with the events foretold in the next two verses, for the exact same time frame:
All things shall be set into a new order of the ages, The new century and millennium (2001) will see an opening to a new way, Those who have hidden behind masks of lofty power will be utterly changed, Few will be found who shall remain in leadership. 11,10.
Mars and Jupiter conjoined,
In Cancer (next occurrence, June 2002), an end to all forms of warfare will be realized, A new King will be anointed (enlightened, or born), One who will bring Peace to the Earth for a very long time. Vl, 24.
It would appear that the French prophet was giving us a choice of someone who will help us enter the new millennium, one who will be either a taskmaster or a teacher, a King of Terror or a King of Peace. However, even the prediction that the King of Terror, the Mongol Genghis Khan, will soon return may not be as bad as it looks. At this writing, Chicago commodities broker Maury Kravitz has announced he believes he has found the location of Genghis Khan's lost tomb and is preparing a multimillion-dollar expedition to travel to Outer Mongolia to unbury the remains of the thirteenth century warrior. Could this be what Nostradamus really meant by the Khan's return?
According to the French seer, the year 2000 will not see the end of the world; instead, it may exemplify either a time of trouble or a time of transformation, depending upon how we wish to enter the millennium. After that, Nostradamus prophetic visions actually forecast events for the 21st, 23rd, 32nd, 54th, and 86th centuries.
