the land, poisoning all aquatic life. The trade in this region will be disrupted in a way that people on the other coast will be so desperate for food that they will eat the fish, disregarding the fact that they are all poisonous (Seine 217-218). The atomic weapon dropped by one of the Middle Eastern countries will spark off yet another war on top of that war. European and Western nations will try to interfere to diminish the threat of oil supplies. When the European countries try to interfere, the crazed leader will bring immense destruction to a rather large portion of south Mediterranean Europe, including France and Italy- Italy inflicted upon the worst. The mentally distraught leader is not the Antichrist but this event sets the stage for him (Seine 221). In a wargame maneuver involving Great Britain and European troops, a malfunction circuit in a computer will cause the “real world” situation to play out instead of the simulation. The teams are labeled “white” and “blue”. As a result of the error, actual defenses will be activated and real bombs will be dropped on the areas of the game and cause a tragic international catastrophe (Seine 231). Back in the 1900’s, aliens (supposedly, according to Nostradamus) tried to contact us. Similarly they will try again to visit the earth. The soviets are doing secret weapon research and have energy fields guarding northern approach corridors. Another spaceship will arrive. When the aliens’ space ship enters the atmosphere, the fields will cause it to malfunction and many of the crew are killed. When the aliens crash, soldiers will be on hand to capture

or kill them. The ship will have contained microorganisms that will react in bizarre ways with the earth’s climate, causing plagues. The country, during the war or in the process of joining in a war, will have a paranoid mindset. The soldiers, thinking the crash is the result of enemy weapons, will shoot anything that moves (Seine 248). Political, social, and physical blunders will cause the eventual downfall of “the system” that will play us in to the hands of the Antichrist- leader of our demise and perpetrator of WWIII.
Following the Times of Trouble, WWIII breaks out. A major nuclear confrontation will occur in the middle east. The aggressor will have broken a promise to not to use nuclear warfare. Radioactive fallout and its effect on the people, animals, weather, and erupting volcanoes will turn the water on that part of the ocean a muddy red color; because of blasts and earth changes, rivers will change course and political boundary lines based on them will be redrawn (Seine 263). We will have a democratic president during WWIII. He will be involved with the conflict as a way of trying to stimulate the economy from a depression (Seine 287). In WWIII many existing diplomatic ties between nations will be broken and realigned. One that will continue to hold, however, is the alliance between France and the U.S. A force aligned with the Antichrist will send a bomb aimed at New York City. It will be spotted and tracked as it approaches. The U.S. defense system will concentrate on diverting or disabling the bomb, and the U.S.

will not be able to retaliate. As proof of their loyalty, the French are asked to retaliate, which they do with several bombs and weapons (Seine 291). This is just the beginning of a downward spiral of prophecies connected with a future holding no prospects, only dead-end dreams and a future broken by the ensuing apocalyptic world which, according to Nostradamus, can be changed (Nijweide 17).
Nostradamus, through his prophecies, lays out a plan for the future of mankind. This “plan” is one of great misfortune. The plan is based on the world’s current path and where it is headed. The future, however, is not a set plan. It can be changed by doing the right things now, for instance mass disarmament. The construction and testing of nuclear weapons, if continued, will only lead to a future, as perceived by Nostradamus, consisting of nuclear holocaust. Of course Nostradamus is only a prophet and his predictions might never come true. . . but then again, what if they do?
