Six predictions Nostradamus made for 2022

1. Immigration will increase because of the war

Here is Nostradamus' prediction in the 10th quatrain of Centuria III:

Of blood and hunger greater calamity / Seven times appreste to the marine beach / Monech of hunger, place taken, captivity.
Don't understand the language of the prophet? This prediction indicates that in 2022, world hunger will increase due to the multiplication of armed conflicts. As a result, there will be greater population movements. Nostradamus predicts that seven times as many migrants will wash up on the beaches of Europe. Those who do not die will be imprisoned...

2. Nostradamus anticipates a climate war

Under the opposite Babylonian climate / Great will be without the outpouring.
The famous prophet announces with these few words that a climate war will start during the year 2022. Such a conflict could occur because of a shortage of resources in one country, which would then attack a neighbouring country to obtain means of subsistence.

3. The fall of the European Union

This bad news is announced in the eighth quatrain of Centuria II:

Sacred temples prime Roman style / Will reject the goffes foundations.
Let us recall that the Treaty of Rome, ratified in 1957, is at the origin of European construction. According to Nostradamus, Brexit is only the beginning, and the whole European Union is destined to collapse in 2022.

4. Paris under siege

One of Nostradamus' prophecies for the coming year directly concerns Paris, which would be under siege. It is found in the 30th quatrain of Centuria V:

All around the great City / Will be soldiers lodged by fields and cities.
For what reasons might the capital be besieged? We don't know... It could well be that the City of Light will remain completely paralysed, with no access to the outside world, for a long period.

5. The death of Kim-Jong Un

In the 14th quatrain of Centuria IV, Nostradamus predicts the demise of the North Korean leader, according to the astrologers who analyse his prophecies:

The sudden death of the first personage / Will have changed and put another in the reign.
Kim-Jong Un would thus be the victim of an unexpected accident. However, his succession is already assured, as a member of his family will be in charge of the country.

6. A major earthquake in Japan

The third quatrain of Nostradamus' Centuria III forecasts a very large earthquake in the land of the rising sun, during 2022:

Towards midy extreme siccity / In the depths of Asia they will say earthquake.
The earthquake would therefore occur in the middle of the day. A time which could minimize human losses, but still causing terrible material damage.

Fred Moletrousers wrote:The scribbling of Michel de Nostredame should be afforded about the same degree of contemptuous cynicism as that silly little publication that topped the 18th century British booksellers’ list, Old Moore’s Almanack.

It’s original author was an astrologer and soothsayer called Francis Moore - a sort of Russell Grant (or Mystic Meg to conform to present-day requirements of sex equality) at the barking mad court of that exponent of the art of multiple legovering, His Majesty King Charles the Second.

My dear late dad, God rest his soul, religiously and every autumn bought this comic, er serious organ of scientific prediction, and bored the entire family to wracking sobs with readings of the contents therein. Even worse was that he appeared to plan his somewhat chaotic life on Old Frankie’s daft forecasts of what might or might nor become world shattering events.

My old dad was, of course, almost as mad as his box-of-frogs historical mentor.
