Nostradamus Did Not Predict Doomsday 2012

There many translations and interpretations of Nostradamus' Centuries, but there are few popular editions or "Nostradamus predicted the End of the World in 2012"-articles including two extremely important textes written by him, and this for very obvious reasons.

The first text is the Preface to the Centuries, dedicated to his son César, with this quote: "I have composed books of prophecies, containing each one hundred astronomic quatrains of forecasts, which I have tried to polish through obscurely, and which are perpetual vaticinations, from now to the year 3797."

So, Nostradamus did not predict the End of the World in 2012. And he did not predict Obama being the Antichrist either, as is stated on numerous racist and "Christian" fundamentalist websites. This becomes very clear when you read the second extremely important prophetic text written by Nostradamus and published together with his Centuries in 1558: The Epistle to Henry II of France. This Epistle is also excluded by the Apocalypse 2012 Believers, and that's why the Historical Mysterys Blog serves you the most astonishing excerpts, in a translation (and interpretation) of the 19th century Nostradamian Charles A. Ward.

Of course, Charles A. Ward interpreted the Epistle in his 19th century context, centered around the "revolutionary" date 1792 (literally in the text!). He couldn't know yet that the Epistle mentioned also another "revolutionary" date (the October Revolution) and seems to say a lot about our lives and times too. As is the case in the Centuries, Nostradamus deliberately seems to have messed up chronology, facts and figures... But nevertheless, there are some fascinating observations to be made.

Yes, the Epistle to Henry II of France is a fascinating text, for Nostradamus "believers" as well as for the "non-believers". I still am somewhere in between, I guess...
