Read the Quatrains.

The King of Terror arrives from the sky in the year 1999 and seven (septe) months.

What does this mean?

It means that *all* of 1999 must pass - and then another seven (or nine) months.

We are not out of the woods until September of 2000 has passed. (If you believe in the prophetic powers of Nostradamus).

Yea, he's a famous guy and all that, and a best selling author besides. But, I've still not one nagging question. -- if he was such a prophet, how come he's not famous for making a killing in the stock market (or Medieval equivalent thereof).

As they told me in corporate law many years ago -- never believe a prophet who's not gotten rich.

Wasn't some giant flaming-ass cross supposed to appear in the sky or something last winter according to 'Nosty'? I sorta fell for that one, but NOT AGAIN!!!

You'll,

The King of Terror? Is Algore going to make Ted Kennedy his V.P.?

Seriously though, to *badly* paraphrase the Bible, "no man will know the day or the hour" works for me, and if that's the Lord's plan for mankind, where was the information Notsradamus had coming from?

I'll give you one guess, other than "a whiskey bottle",

Hey doomstomper, it's 6:15 AM, and you're not on here yet!!

We got another date to worry about. HOHOHEHEHHAHAAA! All of 1999 and seven or nine months (not too precise here) to quiver in FUD again. Not to worry, I've started keeping a DDL (Disaster Date Lot) for evidence of "passed and nothing happened" dates..

Never did believe in flaming crosses, did believe in FUD of the Bible when I was younger, but I'm older, and I got over that fear. Although I do agree that no person knows when he's going to die. As my uncle once said, "If you were meant to drown, they can't shoot you enough to kill you."

But even though I was older and wiser, I believed in "professionals" knowing the IT business. Wrong! Now I'm recovering from that, and life is good. So bring on the Bible prophecies , the flaming crosses, the Armageddon, the Rapture, the embedded chips, the hackers, the malcontents, the white UN vehicles, the chem-trails, the NWO, the Bilderbergs, Nostradamus, the bar code Mark of the Beast, the secret signs, the black helicopters, Al Gore, the Kennedy's, Dan Quayle, have I left out anything. I am free of FUD, and I feel like a human being again.

I'm starting a new club Free of Fear Forever or (FFF). As FDR said, "All we have to fear is fear itself." Exactly!!!!

Sheeeesh, what I need to fear is my eyesight or spelling!! Disaster Date LOG, no Lot. (DDL)

Gilda, did you leave out the lizard people (Bush, etc?)

-- liu (lookitup@dictionary.com), March 09, 2000.

If you're inclined to have a T.V., and inclined to pay for cable, the Science Fiction station has an entertaining program on once/week entitled "First Wave." It relies heavily on the writings of Nostradamus.

Shoot! I forgot Shrubya. lizard people????? Should I worry?

Anita, I have cable and have seen the show mentioned, but I haven't watched it. Maybe now I will. I do watch the Twilight Zone though, and still love it.

Gilda, you left out the pole shift scheduled to occur on or near the plantetary alignment of 5/5/2000.

Thanks helpful. I'll add that to my Disaster Date List. Anybody else got dates I might have forgotten or overlooked. Help appreciated.

-- gilda (jess@listbot.com), March 09, 2000.

Yes, but Nostradamus may have been out on his timing slightly, after all he didmake his predictions hundreds of years ago. However I believe he was generally right. And based on Nostradamus' predictions, I do believe that something very serious will happen within six months either side of 31st september. If not this year, then during some year within the next century. ;-)
