For years people have looked to the strangely accurate predictions of Nostradamus for what may be around the corner. Is it plausible that his warning for the end of 2025 is coming to pass right now?
In a report by the Daily Mail, Nostradamus is explained to have discussed Mars as a ruler among stars and “sanctuaries stained with blood,” which many feel could be about the start of World War III.

Previously, Nostradamus wrote, “When Mars rules his path among the stars, human blood will sprinkle the sanctuary… Three fires rise from the eastern sides, while the West loses its light in silence.”
The Daily Mail further noted that there would be a “cosmic fireball falling from the sky,” which some have taken to interpret as either an atomic bomb or asteroid. He also predicted additional pestilences and new wars that would take place.
While Nostradamus may be accurate on some things, there is something Christians must take into account: diviners can correctly interpret things up to a certain point as a mimicry of the gift of prophecy, but they cannot accurately know everything. Satan can imitate and steal, but he cannot create. This is the same in regards to the gift of prophecy. Just as the magic workers could perform some of the same miracles for Pharaoh that Moses could, they could not do everything that God had placed and entrusted Moses with to do supernatural works.

Nostradamus’ predictions may seem eerily accurate at times, and Christians must remember that true authority and insight come from God alone. Diviners, seers and so-called prophets can mimic glimpses of the future, but their knowledge is limited and often deceptive. Ultimately, believers are called to heed the voice of true prophets, seeking guidance, wisdom and revelation from the Lord rather than relying on predictions born outside His divine will.
