The French astrologer remains a figure of fascination for those who believe he foresaw major global events.
Although Nostradamus has been dead for 458 years, his prophecies continue to captivate his followers. They believe 2025 is shaping up to be a tumultuous year.
Michel de Nostredame, known as Nostradamus, became famous for his book Les Prophéties, published in 1555. This collection of cryptic verses has been interpreted to predict various historical and contemporary events.
While some hail him as a visionary, others argue his predictions are intentionally vague.
Before 2024 ends, three major prophecies are still expected to unfold. But for now, let’s dive into five shocking predictions Nostradamus’ followers believe are coming in 2025.
A War in England and the Return of the Plague
Nostradamus warned of a devastating war and a resurgence of plague in the UK. He wrote:
“When those from the lands of Europe, see England set up her throne behind. Her flanks, there will be cruel wars. The kingdom will be marked by wars so cruel, foes from within and without will arise. A great pestilence from the past returns, no enemy more deadly under the skies.”
It’s a chilling vision of chaos that no one wants to see become reality.
Conflict in Global Politics
The astrologer predicted that “great powers will clash,” which many link to current global tensions. Some interpret this as a nod to the ongoing threat of nuclear war and shifting political landscapes.
Nostradamus hinted at a decline in the dominance of established Western powers and the rise of new global leaders.
However, there’s a silver lining. He also foresaw advancements in medicine, particularly in illness prevention and treatment.
At least there’s some hope in that regard.
The Ukraine and Russia War Comes to an End
The war between Ukraine and Russia escalated in February 2022 with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Nostradamus wrote:
“Through long war all the army exhausted, so that they do not find money for the soldiers; instead of gold or silver, they will come to coin leather, Gallic brass, and the crescent sign of the Moon.”
Some believe the “crescent sign of the Moon” and “Gallic brass” could imply a role for Turkey and France in negotiating peace.
End of the World
According to Nostradamus, 2025 might bring an apocalyptic event involving a massive asteroid. He described it ominously:
“From the cosmos, a fireball will rise, A harbinger of fate, the world pleads. Science and fate in a cosmic dance, The fate of the Earth, a second chance.”
It’s a frightening prospect that leaves little room for optimism.
Disaster in the Amazon
Climate change remains a looming threat, and Nostradamus predicted catastrophic events in Brazil. His words point to volcanic eruptions and floods:
“Garden of the world near the new city, In the path of the hollow mountains: It will be seized and plunged into the Tub, forced to drink waters poisoned by sulphur.”
The future painted here feels increasingly plausible in today’s climate crisis.
The Rise and Fall of Aquaman
One of his more peculiar predictions involves the emergence of a mysterious leader creating an “aquatic empire.”
While this may sound like the plot of a superhero movie, it’s hard to dismiss outright. Who knows, perhaps Frozone will make a real-world debut—provided he finds his “super suit.”
