WORLD WAR III

WORLD WAR III – NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTIONS REVIEWED

     Nostradamus predictions on third world war are famous, though he has not given the period of war. Most of his predictions were realized only after the event has occurred. It seems that he intentionally avoided the timing of events not to confuse public. In his letter to his son Caesar Nostradamus he has mentioned that he made prophecies up to the year 3739. Hence it is difficult to assume when the world war III is likely to come.

     In spite of so many complications, yet there is a long range clue to fix up the period of world war III. In his Century III and Quatrain 70, Nostradamus indicates that England will sink into the sea during the world war III. This may be due to the fact that the heavy ice caps near poles may melt due to the heat generated by the war inundating England. Due to global warming effect ice caps already started melting. Sea level is rising at present at the rate of one foot per decade and it is likely to rise further at a greater rate. Some are of the opinion that if the sea level rises further by about 23 feet England is likely to sink into the sea. At the present rate it may take two centuries or even earlier. If nuclear war comes during this period it may even be instantaneous. As such the third world war seems to be not far away. Nostradamus also utilized some astronomical data also for his calculations besides his powers of intuition and other mental powers. Let us examine the possible astronomical data also to locate the probable world war III period within the coming two centuries.

     Nostradamus predicted war when planets Jupiter and Saturn pass through the sign Aries. Several expected war somewhere around June 1999 accordingly. But no such thing happened. In his time no one knows about the planets Uranus and Neptune. They were discovered later. Since he felt that some other planet was moving in association with Saturn, he might have assumed it as Jupiter. In fact Jupiter is not a planet to produce wars. Uranus or Neptune is the most probable planets in this case. While Uranus and Saturn conjunction rules nuclear wars, Neptune and Saturn conjunction rules chemical or biological wars, if some other evil and stimulating aspects support the same. Most critical degrees for this conjunction to occur are the first three degrees of Aries (of movable zodiac). So any evil conjunction in first three degrees of the sign Aries or in its opposite degrees (first three degrees of sign Libra) where the plane of ecliptic and equator are close, duly supported by war stimulating planet is essential to create world war.

     Planet Uranus entered the sign Aries around June 2010 and it will be in sign Aries up to April 2018. This produced revolutions in many countries like Syria etc. ruled by the sign Aries. The countries England, Germany, Denmark, Poland etc. are also ruled by sign Aries. These countries seem to be turning against terrorism. Saturn enters the sign Aries around Feb. 2026 and leaves the sign in April 2028. Neptune enters the sign Aries in Feb. 2026 and continues in it till April 2039. Conjunction of planets Neptune and Saturn will also take place around the first degree of Aries in Feb. 2026. Besides this the war planet Mars also joins them in April 2026. By this time the planet Uranus is at the end of the sign Taurus and will enter the sign Gemini, in the month of May 2026. Gemini rules the United States. Saturn enters Gemini in June 2030 and joins Uranus in conjunction in July 2032 in the 29^th degree of Gemini. Planet Mars also joins Uranus and Saturn in Gemini in June 2032. China is ruled by the sign Libra which is opposite to sign Aries.

     The above astrological configurations indicate some tendencies of biological and chemical war being initiated around Feb. 2026 under the influence of the conjunction effect of Neptune and Saturn duly supported by the transit of Mars in April 2026. Nostradamus also predicted the start of the 3^rd world war with biological and chemical weapons only. According to Nostradamus, China joins the Islamic nations in a war against the countries in Europe. The war is likely to be turned into a nuclear war by the year 2032. Most of the European countries get destroyed in the war.

     It is at this time Nostradamus predicts that England will sink into the sea for reasons not known to him. Nowadays the reasons are clear. Global warming is going on and ice near poles is melting and the sea levels are gradually rising. During the war the melting of ice will increase enormously due to heat generated and it is quite possible that the England along with other low level countries will sink into the sea. Nostradamus also predicted that a mountain like object from the sky falls into the sea and many coastal areas including some ancient historic cities gets submerged in sea water (Century I, Quatrain 69). This seems to be a misinterpretation as he is not aware in his time about rising of sea levels due to global warming. In his time Nostradamus was not even aware of aero planes and rockets. Only he got the vision of something falling from the air into the sea. He has to assume according to the available knowledge of his time only. During war period, due to fight in the air any war planes or rockets are likely to fall into the sea. Besides this, any space debris such as space ships, satellites, space stations are also likely to fall into the sea after the expiry of their life time. But due to the enormous inundation of the coastal areas, he might have assumed that the fallen object may be of a size of a mountain. No such a big object of size of a mountain is likely to fall on Earth in the near future. It is only imaginary whereas the great inundation of coastal areas is quite possible during war period.

     After causing sufficient damage in Europe the Easterners aim at attacking United States and Russia. This results in United States and Russia coming together for counter attacking Easterners army. This becomes the starting point for the defeat of the Easterners, according to Nostradamus. United States and Russia together liberate Europe from the clutches of Easterners. Nostradamus states that ultimately the war ends at the river Ganges in India (Century IV, Quatrain 51).

     Nostradamus did not mention much about India in this 3^rd world war. But there is a clear indication that the war will end at Ganges. The occupants of part of India, probably North India by China will be forced by the Indian army with the help of the United States military up to the river Ganges. It appears that the part of India above the river Ganges will be under the control of Chinese army by the time world war ends. No further details are available after the war. During the war, if part of North India is occupied by China as indirectly indicated by Nostradamus, then the capital of India should be shifted temporarily to South India at a suitable place, till recapturing of part of North India occupied by China. This is only a probability from the hint given by Nostradamus and need not be taken for granted. However India should be cautious about this aspect as most of the predictions of Nostradamus are coming true on some date or other.

     Astrological ephemeris indicating planets positions is not readily available up to the year 3739. As such it is not possible to further examine the alternate probabilities of 3^rd world war. As such the astrological calculations have some limitations. The above probabilities may be kept in mind for guidance only, and what is reviewed may not be taken for granted. It may also be noted that such reviews already failed in the year 1999. But these astrological tendencies are stronger in the light of Nostradamus prophecies. The 3^rd world war seems to be a longer one. It may start with hidden chemical and biological weapons and later turn into a nuclear war. Lot of damage will be done to humanity as a whole besides world economy. Let us hope this war not to come. Since all these are only visions of a seer and only astrological tendencies, these can be prevented by advance peace pacts between the countries. Global warming should also be controlled by cooperation between the countries and individual efforts by each country, because it is a war against humanity by Nature. Let us hope something good to happen to humanity.
