Nostradamus wrote: âThe False Trumpet concealing madness will cause Byzantium to change its laws. From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards. The trumpet shakes with great discord. An agreement broken: lifting the face to heaven: the bloody mouth will swim with blood; the face anointed with milk and honey lies on the ground.â
Not many people know that  Michel de Nostradameâcommonly known only as NOSTRADAMUSâwas a chemist and apothecary, before writing down four-line poetic verses called âquatrainsâ which seem to have predicted numerous events in the future.
In addition to writing numerous prophetic texts, Nostradamus is known for having written at least two books on medical science.
One of his most famous works is, without a doubt, the âLes Propheciesâ. The first edition of Nostradamusâ work appeared in 1555 and ever since the publication of Les Prophecies, Michel de Nostredame, aka Nostradamus, has been credited with predicting major world events.
His second piece was published in 1557 and contained a total of 289 prophetic verses for the future. Nostradamusâ third edition was printed in 1558 containing 300 quatrains however according to reports it now only survives as part of the omnibus edition that was published after his death in 1568. This version is believed to have one unrhymed and a total of 941 rhymed quatrains written by the French seer and compiled into nine sets of 100 and one of 42, called âCenturiesâ.
Among the most notary predictionsâthat according to many were accurately foreseen by the great Nostradamusâare the French Revolution, Adolf Hitlerâs rise to power and 9/11. However, not only did Nostradamus get all of that right, it is believed that the 16th-century prophet even managed to predict Trumpâs presidential win: âThe great shameless, audacious bawler. He will be elected governor of the army: The boldness of his contention. The bridge broken, the city faint from fear.â
Now, it is believed that when Nostradamus spoke about the Anti-Christ he was referring to the newly appointed, 45th president of the United States: Donald Trump.
Those who have followed the predictions by Nostradamus firmly argue that Trumps it the Anti-Christ who will cause World War 3, and to back up their claims they point to the following verses written down by Michel de Nostradame hundreds of years ago:
The False Trumpet concealing madness will cause Byzantium to change its laws. From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards.
The trumpet shakes with great discord. An agreement broken: lifting the face to heaven: the bloody mouth will swim with blood; the face anointed with milk and honey lies on the ground.
According to Arthur Evansâwho wrote the article âWhat are Presidential election Predictions 2016 of Nostradamusâthose who believe in the âpredictionsâ of Nostradamus argue that the âfalse trumpetâ mentioned by the French apothecary represents the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trumpâwho is âconcealing his own madnessâ.
In an article about Nostradamus, Evans concluded: âIs Donald Trump really the Antichrist who will cause World War III, a nuclear war or biological warfare sustaining for 27 years? No one can be certain about this; however, I am pretty sure right now is the start to Nostradamusâ prediction of the apocalypse.â
