Did Nostradamus predict Armageddon or the End of the world?
How many times has the end of the world been predicted now?
Oh that’s right : we have a nice little page here for how many FAILED PROPHECIES and PREDICTIONS have happened.
The doomsday crown always insist that Nostradamus said the world was going to end and that he NEVER GOT ANYTHING WRONG. Now days it’s all about 2012. Specifically, December 21st 2012. Nostradamus wrote that his prophecies only went as far as the year 3797. Think what you want, and read below – I will list some misconceptions about 2012.
