Michel de Nostredame (14 December 1503 [1] - 2 July 1566), usually Latinized to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties (The Prophecies), the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted an enthusiastic following who, along with the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events.

How many religions and which ones have a prediction of the end of the world in 2012?
Which religion's predict the end of the world in 2012. Many religion's predict 2012 being the end as we know it for example the Mayan's predicted the end of the world in 2012 so as the Aztec's did some people even say the Christian's did and the Oracle'sMuslim's,Nostrodamus many religions do but even scientist's say it is the end of the world in 2012 but nobody know's for sure when the world will end but it is always good to prepare right and some people say the Mayan's predict just a new age some say they predict a global disaster. IMORTALIZED A: Don't forget there was a researcher in the 1970's who found that the ancient Chinese text, ICHING (The Book Of Change) predicted the end to be in December 2012.
Is dooms day on 21-12-12?
Not likely that the world is going to end on December 21 2012, but change is coming and this date may mark the end of the world as we know it. That date represents the end of the Mayan calender. Not even the Mayans believed that the world would end at that point in time they simply saw it as the beginning of a new age in their cyclic calender system. However, if you want to make lots of money write a book about the end of the world in 2012 and get lots of mugs to buy into it and youll become rich. Oh, and the world didn't end in the year 1800, 1900, or 2000 as "predicted" by Nostrodamus, so if you get it wrong just shift the goal posts and pretend that you knew the outcome all along and write another book about it!
What did nostrodamus predict?
This answer could be a lot better, but when i was 7 or 8 i read a book on Nostradamus i don't know if it was credible or not. It said that his very first prediction was of his own king, this is the only one i remember in detail. He said that in the tournament he was having with his daughters lover that was asking for the kings daughters hand in marriage. He said that the king would suffer two fatal blows one in the heart and one in the eye, he even told the king to call off the tournament but the king just wore more armour and was killed as it was told to him. Other predictions i remember are W.W.1 or W.W.2 planes he described the people wearing the oxygen tube as "Flying warthogs He also supposedly predicted the twin towers as it says in the book. One last prediction i remember was of 2025 he described as a war with weapons of poison and destruction and other ways that make nuclear or biological warfare as an easy interpretation of his description of what he saw. He said this would be near the black sea. I think the name of this sea has changed now to something of it's surrounding countries.
What was nostradamus 2012 prediction?
AnswerThe only last predictions that I know are: 9/11 was going to happen, World war 2 was going to happen, and the world will end in 3797. I do not know if these predictions are true . The Mayans did predict that the world will end in 2012, but they have already disappeared. some people have said that the world will have had ended in 2006. I'm sure that everyone should have figured out that these claims are not true. But in Revelation 21-1 Jesus said that only God knows only when the world will end. It also said that the world will end in the blink of the man's eye. I am still trying to figure out if this claim is true. I shall have the answer.
Why so much tensions about 2012?
People don't know everything yet, so whenever they are confronted with mysteries that they don't understand, they often become fearful. If predictions like those of Nostrodamus circulate around long enough, events take place that seem to "fulfill" his "prophecies". The Mayan calendar was an amazingly accurate timepiece. I have no direct knowledge of this, of course, but those who have studied it in great detail make this claim. The Mayan calendar supposedly ends in the year 2012. For lack of any clear explanation as to why, some have decided that it doesn't mean "The end of the age", but rather, "The end of the Earth". This causes people to become insecure, as they are likely to be present in the year 2012, and if the Earth is cosmically destroyed in some fashion, then they are likely to suffer a painful death. They are not looking forward to this possibility, quite naturally. I think that it is just as likely to mean that there will be a new era of understanding and development. So, take your pick! Grisly death, or a chance for humanity to experience another rebirth, or renaissance! In any event, if you live to 2013 or later, you are probably past the point that the Mayan calendar was pointing to. One possibility as to what "the end of the age" might mean, is the fact that the Earth takes about 24,000 years to spin like a top (slightly wobbly) on its axis of revolution. That just means that the north pole points to different stars at various times, until it points back to the same star that it did 24,000 years ago. Currently, the north pole points to Polaris, or reasonably close to it. The end of the age could simply signify that a full cycle around, or one "wobble", has taken place since the origin of the Mayan calendar. Hard to see how they could have done this though. Were they even AROUND 24,000 years ago? People really know so very little about anything... Astrologically, the path that the sun appears to follow through the sky represents 12 constellations. An age has also been described as the time it takes for the earth's axis to wobble through ONE constellation, or, 2,000 years. There isn't anything particularly magical about our calendar numbering. Jesus wasn't born exactly in 0AD you know! Due to some miscalculations on the part of previous experts, his birth is now considered to have taken place around 4BC or thereabouts. If anything magical was going to take place exactly 2000 years after his birth, it would have happened around 1996 or so. Perhaps we need to wait until 2000 years after his death! Perhaps God has a different number of fingers on his hands, and uses a different base for HIS numbering system! That is all our decimal system is, really, a product of how our bodies were designed. If we had 8 digits on our hands instead of 10, we would have had the octal and hexadecimal system (computers use a variant of this, the binary system) THOUSANDS of years ago, and might have made MUCH more rapid scientific and technological progress than we did! So, to put too much faith in coincidences of numbers is probably more usefully understood to be superstitious behavior, than anything rational or scientific. Once it was considered quite fashionable to worry about what was going to happen in the year 2000. The Y2k bug in software was predicted to be everything from slightly annoying, to directly being the cause of the end of civilization as we know it. You can see for yourself the huge impact that it had. I mean, the huge impact it had AFTER January 1, 2000! So, if history has any relevance, then it is likely that people simply like to worry about things that they have no control over. I am sure people gave tons of money to the church in the year leading up to 1000AD, and then, when 1001AD rolled around, and the Earth was again evidently not yet to be destroyed, took it all back! We may be hypocrites, but we know the value of a buck.
