Nostradamus predicted the world would end in 2025

Don’t look now folks, but 2025 has flown by and we are now closing in the last quarter of the year.

It has not been a year without disaster and despair, but if you are reading this the good news is that you have made it this far. Just a couple more months, and you can check off the milestone of having made it to 2026.

Good vibes, good vibes, and maybe we can get to the finish line on this one.

That said, if you want to keep the good vibes flowing, it might be best to just go ahead and skip this article about Nostradamus’ predictions for 2025.

Because it’s just not good.

Really, it is worse than that because the Nostradamus — the History Channel calls him history’s “Most famous seer,” — apparently saw the world ending in 2025.

So, the flip side of being happy that we have made it this far in the year is that … well, according to Nostradamus we might not have much longer until it is lights out, party over.

Now, it’s worth noting that he has been dead a long time, and he wrote in quatrains, so just about all of the reporting on his predictions is really just interpretation of those quatrains.

And, thankfully, that leaves some wiggle room when it comes to this year’s predictions.

There is some good in there.

He appears to predict the end of a long war, which many think is a reference to the war between Russia and Ukraine. But, with the end of one war, he apparently predicts a war in England beginning. He also appears to predict plague.

“The kingdom will be marked by wars so cruel, foes within and without will arise,” he wrote. “A great pestilence from the past returns, no enemy more deadly under the skies.”

He also appears to predict devastation in the Amazon, and oddly the rise of a “mysterious leader” who would form an “aquatic empire.”

And then he appears to predict the end of the world.

And, according to at least one report, there is an ominous quatrain above all others for 2025.

“From the cosmos, a fireball will rise, a harbinger of fate, the world pleads,” it reads. “Science and fate in a cosmic dance, The fate of the Earth, a second chance.”

Maybe the “second chance” reference means we will pull the nose up on things if something does come skirting our way. But what are the chances that a giant fireball from outer space … and, well there is that comet zipping around that a recent paper claims could actually be alien technology.

So … great. Buckle up.

Hopefully, Nostradamus was just wrong. He has been wrong a lot, too.

We are fine. Don’t look up.

The rest of the predictions are just about as fun, according to this report.

Here is how his 2024 predictions shaped up.
