What Did Nostradamus Predict For 2023? End Of Monarchy, World War 3 And More

The year is coming to a close, so it’s time to talk about doomsday forecasts. Nostradamus, a 16th century astrologer and a plague doctor, made many predictions, including World War 3 and the end of monarchy in 2023.

He has been credited with foretelling Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic, reported New York Post. The bleak world view of Nostradamus, referred to as the “prophet of doom,” is believed to have been shaped by heavy doses of the Old Testament and the trauma of losing his wife and young kids to an illness. His famed book “Les Prophéties” was published in 1555, and it was considered a gift to the world and its future generations. It predicts wars, natural disasters, civil unrest and political assassinations.

Here's overview of Nostradamus’ predictions for the coming year -- 2023.

Global warming and many dead fish

In a passage of imminent marine annihilation, he predicted that like the sun, the head shall "sear the shining sea -- the Black Sea’s living fish shall all, but boil.” if we go by a recent research, many of the most commonly eaten fish species could become extinct as a direct result of climate-change warming, i.e. boiling, the Earth’s oceans.

UK's Buckingham Palace ablaze

Nostradamus predicted that 2023 will see “celestial fire on the royal edifice," and if it's taken literally, this could mean a meteor is headed straight for Buckingham Palace, and it might burn down the house. On a metaphorical note, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, who recently released a “bombshell” Netflix docu-series detailing the dark deeds committed against them by the British Royal Family, have taken aim with a different kind of fire power. They are lighting up and tearing down the reputation of the British Royal Family.

World War 3

Nostradamus wrote that in the coming year, the world would be embroiled in, “seven months great war, people dead through evil.” This could apply to the devastating conflict between Russia and Ukraine which has been marked by war crimes and a heavy civilian death toll. The prophecy points to the conflict escalating into a full scale World War in 2023.

Antichrist

The astrologer wrote that in or around 2023, the "antichrist very soon annihilates the three," and that 27 years "his war will last. The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled. With blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth.” The antichrist is a man with blood lust, which means he could be hiding under the lies and necktie of global politicians. The mention of war and unbelievers being “dead, captive or exiled" suggests that the antichrist could be Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Historic mission to Mars

Nostradamus wrote about celestial fire when the "lights of Mars go out." Tycoon Elon Musk previously said that his company SpaceX could take a manned spacecraft to Mars by 2029, but the French astronomer suggested that this will happen in 2023.

Change in the social order

Another major prediction for 2023 pointed out that a man and a woman will join hands to come up with a new society that will result in a common good. But the astrologer indicated that the alliance will be short-lived and so will its positive effects on society. Experts interpreted this warning of high-impact conflict and instability in America, reported MARCA.

Nuclear bomb explosion

Nostradamus spoke of the detonation of a powerful nuclear device that will mainly affect countries in Europe, and this would accelerate the phenomenon of climate change. It would be the beginning of an environmental catastrophe that would seriously affect the Earth. According to the prediction, for four decades, the rainbow will not appear, and the dry land "will become drier and there will be major floods."

Cannibalism due to high food prices

Many of us have had a tough year amid the cost of living crisis, but things haven't quite got so bad that we're thinking about eating each other, according to Chronicle Live. But this could change in 2023 if we believe in Nostradamus' predictions. He wrote that a rise in food price could lead to cannibalism. He wrote that the price of wheat will be so high that "man is stirred, his fellow man to eat in his despair."
