So Nosty's predictions were vague and didn't come to pass on many occasions in the past, eh!
So have many Christians' predictions failed to come true in centuries past. Did you know that whenever a double 99 or 00 was attached to a particular year, many Christians had predicted the return of Christ?
What happened? Nada, zilch!
Maybe, for once, Nosty will be right this time! If nothing happens, I guess the faithful have been praying hard enough and we are spared to live longer and to prosper, eh?
I don't object to people denouncing Nostradamus and his predictions. But I am somewhat irked by people who suggest that I am probably troubled within simply because I write about Nostradamus' predictions.
How presumptuous of such people!
I have been studying astrology (not newspaper or cheap wood pulp astrology) for a good number of years. There are rules and rules just as in mathematics and the motion of heavenly bodies are not random but are highly predictable. I am fascinated by all kinds of math and so I have an interest in astrology. The astrology I mention here is not the kind of astrology that many people have been conditioned to think that it is (i.e., some kind of mumbo-jumbo thing).
Even the grand daddy of modern science (Sir Isaac Newton) had studied it and was proud to mention it.
According to the serious kind of astrology, certain celestial configurations are associated with certain types of events. From my experience, certain predictions have come true. As for those that have not come true, I am interested to know why and if some considerations were inadvertently omitted.
You see, the whole thing is just like an enjoyable mental exercise for me, just like chess, for example, for some people. Remember, one man's poison is another man's meat, as the saying goes. If you understand this, you will begin to understand people a whole lot better.
BTW, I have known a number of Christians who are highly CONCEITED people simply because they believe they are SAVED.
