Nostrodamus
 

I have a bedroom that faces east over Blanes and Lloret-de-Mar, and I like to leave the balcony doors open on warm starry nights to watch the moon planets and constellations rise along the ecliptic at the foot of my bed.

It’s nice to know which planets are due and when. To do this I have a 1990’s DOS astrology program to predict the planets positions. If anyone wants it, they can PM me and I will Zip them a copy. I personally think that astrology is hokum, but the predictions of planetary positions are accurate.

Using it around last August, I let it run on a bit, and saw there was a remarkable coming together of the sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars, and neptune in the constellation of pisces this year. This is NOT what astrologers would interpret as a conjuction.

By fiddling about with it I found the time of closest approach of them to be at about midday on March 11th 2013. No joke, you can check it out. I don’t believe, but I told my believing friends about it and we jokingly made plans to climb a mountain to watch the coming Rapture as is customary.

In December last year, the subject came up again and I sent a confirmation email to a friend, which I attach below. I know Emails can be faked so easily that it’s untrue, but I put out a redacted version for what it’s worth.

Lo and behold, today March 14th the Chinese Communist Party has elected a new “Emporer”. I know the timing is a little shaky but …?

I claim no prediction, but simply put the verifiable facts before you for your perusal over your afternoon tea.

Oh by the way, the comet "Panstarrs" has been visible from earth for the last few days.

What new arse****ery is this?

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Have you ever thought about letting Jesus into your life Matt ?

Your head doesn't HAVE to feel that way.

Cast ye not the shadow of the shoe of truth
Over the middenites, lest it avers thee.

Re: Nostrodamus
 

I must be missing something. I've read the OP several times now and I don't get it.

Is there some significance in March 11th 2013 that I'm missing? Something else? :confused:

Sorry if I'm being dense...

Re: Nostrodamus
 

...only the biggest story in the world this week.

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Well I still don't know what you mean, but something was bound to happen wasn't it?

Pre-dictions are only significant if made before the event.;)

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Absolutely correct.

Re: Nostrodamus
 

I'm glad that's cleared up then.:blink:

Re: Nostrodamus
 

But Pope Frank didn't get elected until the 13th

Re: Nostrodamus
 

I could argue that the 'prediction' actually pointed to the Conclave of Cardinals on the 12th or even the meetings of cardinals before conclave, where the next Pope was probably actually chosen. They seem to have picked him out pretty sharpish in conclave.

But I won't. :)

Look, I merely put this snippet of information out there on the siesta thread for those who were interested in this sort of thing, a light diversion from the 'is it/isn't it' legal battle over streaming threads going on on the main board. I didn't expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition.

If nobody's interested then they won't post and this thread will subside into the abyss that is the British Expat Archives.

Everybody will be happy and Tommy and Irene will get their slot back.

It's a nice day and I've got strawberries to plant.

:)

Know the area well.....'Mas Mora'..

Re: Nostrodamus
 

On the other hand if some of us are interested it might struggle on for a while! Nostradamus was an incredibly clever man, I believe personally, in many areas besides astrology (and yes, I've been mocked on BE for my beliefs before :D)

Strangely enough though when I got to work today one of my colleagues, the last person I would've expected, greeted me with the news that Nostradamus had predicted this will be the last Pope........and now I've come across this thread....when I rarely venture into this part of the forum....spooky :scaredhair:

Re: Nostrodamus
 

According to the prophesies of St Malachy, this will be the last pope - because the world is going to end on the election of the 112th Pope (i.e. Francisco). Apocalypse any minute now!

The delightfully optimistic website "Catholic Answers to Defend and Explain the Faith" reassures us:

"Is "Malachy's" prophecy legitimate? Probably not. The consensus among modern scholars is that it is a 16th-century forgery created for partisan political reasons."

Re: Nostrodamus
 

I was born a Jew and I'm not a choir boy so Christianity won't be interested in me or my arse. Thanks for asking though.

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Oh Matt, was Our Lord not also a four by two ?

Listen to the words of God Matt, not the voices in your head.

You do not NEED to clean the guns tonight.

For the shadow of the light shall ye not forfend
For the light of the light is true.

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Come to God Matt, and cleanse thy soul.

Yea do not the seagulls follow the fishermen
In the expectation of sardines ?

Re: Nostrodamus

Re: Nostrodamus
 

You is the prophet! I will follow your every utterance:)

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Yes Matt, God is talking to you...

Re: Nostrodamus
 

I bet god talks to you as well doesn't he? I bet he tells you to do things...

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Yes, he tells me to prey Matt,

You should listen to his words too.

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Hallelujah, I have seen the light !
A leg of lamb, mint sauce and a drop of wine will do me fine.
Now what time is dinner served ? :D

Re: Nostrodamus

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Is it god who tells you Christians to touch little boys?

Re: Nostrodamus
 

"And they brought young children to him, that he (Jesus) should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them."
Mark 10:13

At least the disciples thought it was a bit dodgy.

Re: Nostrodamus
 

Is that what happened Matt ?

Do you need to talk to somebody about it ?
