interpretations+of+Nostradamus'+prophecies

​ Nostradamus' predictions have been labeled as being very vague, and open to interpritation due to his use of indistinct and general temonology. Although he may have believed himself to posess certain powers that would allow him to prophesise certain events in his future, he still maintained a ninety - five per cent failure rate with his predictions, thus revealing that his prophecies were interpritated wrong.

The different interpritaions of his predictions can be seen in his prediction on the attack of the world trade center and the pentegon. The prophecy states:

"In the City of God there will be great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb."

Althogh this was interprited as the 9/11 attacks it has also been interprited as:

"...two metal birds would crash into two tall statues... in the new city... and the world will end soon after"

This, however is also an incorrect prediction as Nostradamus has never reffered to 'two metal birds' in his works before. His prophecies have been said to lack the range and diversity of the prophecies set forth in scriptures such as Deuteronomy 18:21-22 where it states:

"And if you say in your heart, 'How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?'- 22 "when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him."
