So this should be read with some caution. I am aware that Marco Reading was considered an expert on Nostradamus and if you want to believe his interpretations of these prophecies for the future that’s okay. However, there are 3 important facts that must be remembered when reading this and other books on Nostradamus. Nostradamus claimed to base his published predictions on judicial astrology—the art of forecasting future events by calculation of the planets and stellar bodies in relationship to the earth. His sources include passages from classical historians like Plutarch as well as medieval chroniclers from whom he seems to have borrowed liberally. Some claim that Nostradamus predicted the rise of Adolf Hitler but did he also predicted a great war would occur in 2023. Turning to the quatrains of Nostradamus, one line particularly stands out: ‘ seven months great war, people dead through evil’. During a nomadic youth he sold rare books, taught riding in Cape Town, studied dressage in Vienna, played polo in India, France, Spain, and Dubai, ran a seventy horse polo stables in Gloucestershire, and helped manage his Mexican wife’s coffee plantation.

The king of terror, Nostradamus’s interpreters suggested, was the antichrist. Others argued that, because Angolmois is a (near) anagram of Mongolais, the 16th-century French term for Mongolians, invasion of Europe from the east was imminent – though whether by Russians, Chinese or tooled-up descendants of Genghis Khan riding like Dothraki hordes was uncertain. Nostradamus expert Prof Alexander Tollmann found the matter so worrying that he retreated to his bunker in lower Austria to wait out the catastrophe that never came. Perhaps Nostradamus didn’t predict the king’s death so much as make it look to future readers as if he had. That is not to suggest that Nostradamus was a charlatan, but something more interesting. “The point of prophecy is not to give you tipoffs about share-price fluctuations but to be able after the event to affirm that they were foreseen,” argues Steven Connor, professor of English at Cambridge University, “Prophecy is only ever retroactively potent, or by the kind of anticipated retrospection that we could call ‘posticipation’, which always means knowing too late what you might have known in advance.”He is also the author of eight non-fiction titles, including the Dictionary Of Cinema, the Movie Companion, the Watkins Dictionary Of Dreams, Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies For The Future and Nostradamus: The Good News. His groundbreaking The Complete Prophecies Of Nostradamus was published in 2009 by Watkins Books, and 2010 saw the publication of an illustrated book, Nostradamus: The Top 100 Prophecies [available in 9 countries], and a revised edition of NTCPFTF. His most recent non-fiction book, Nostradamus & The Third Antichrist was published in March 2011. Reading’s non-fiction books have been published in 20 countries, and have sold more than 500,000 copies. Queen Elizabeth II is pictured near Salisbury, southern England, on October 15, 2020.

Following the Queen's death, claims have circulated online that Nostradamus predicted when she would pass away.

The name of the book I read is Nostradamus: the complete prophecies for the future. It is by Mario Reading. This book includes Nostradamus’s prophecies for the past, present and the future. I searched for this book to read my of Nostradamus’s prophecies. Reading is the author of four novels. The Music-Makers [House of Stratus 2001], The Nostradamus Prophecies [Atlantic 2009], The Mayan Codex [Corvus 2010], and The Third Antichrist [Corvus 2011]. Reading’s Antichrist Trilogy [TNP, TMC & TTA] has been published in 38 countries to date, with a combined sale of over 1,000,000 copies. Firstly he was expelled from the University of Montpellier for being an apothecary and never graduated with a degree in medicine. These details are in the university archives. Given the fact that Nostradamus: wrote in a number of languages; used allegories; borrowed material from other sources (the Bible Greek and Roman philosophers); and the number of very bad versions of his prophecies, it would be advisable to treat both Nostradamus and this book with extreme caution. He became known for creating a “rose pill,” an herbal lozenge made of rosehips (rich in vitamin C) that provided some relief for patients with mild cases of the plague. His cure rate was impressive, though much can be attributed to keeping his patients clean, administering low-fat diets and providing plenty of fresh air.

Nostradamus predicted the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the Credit Crunch in 2008 and the floods in New Orleans, as well as the Iraq war, the Twin Towers disaster and the devastating Boxing Day tsunami of 2004 – and he foretold the future for decades to come. All things considered, Nostradamus’ writings offer a rather sinister outlook for 2023 and beyond. Of course, it can all be very reasonably dismissed as the groundless speculation, or poetic fancies, of a dreamer who died nearly half a millennium ago.

Several outlets, including The Sun and The New York Post, published articles that suggest Nostradamus had prophecized the exact year of Queen Elizabeth II's passing. In one of the prophecies it talks about an antichrist. The author speculates that it is Hitler. In another it talks about a “masculine woman”. The author guesses it could be Hillary Clinton. Other prophecies talk about 911, tsunamis, etc. The author uses root words and multiple meanings of a word to help form guesses about what these prophecies mean.

He gave to each of his prophetic verses--ten volumes of 100 each--an index number. As Mario Reading reveals in this ground-breaking new analysis, in these numbers lie the true key to the years of the prophecies’ fulfillment. It’s an eye-opening interpretation that no one should miss. The prediction, claimed the video, was interpreted by Mario Reading, a British author who passed away in 2017. In his book, published in 2006, Reading claimed to have found something that others who had pored over Nostradamus had missed: that his quatrains are number-indexed to correlate with dates. Hence, for instance, quatrain 10/22, purporting to forecast the death of the Queen, reads: “Because they disapproved of his divorce / A man who later they considered unworthy / The People will force out the King of the islands / A Man will replace who never expected to be king.” Bestselling author Mario Reading has produced the first major re-evaluation of the seer’s entire body of prophecies for 300 years--and it finally resolves the last great mystery of Nostradamus. While the Prophecies have transfixed us for centuries (only the Bible has been printed more times) a crucial question has lingered: why did Nostradamus not declare the dates on which his predictions would come about? That said, at least Nostradamus predicted his own death in 1566. Mind you, given that the prediction was made a day before he died, and that he was almost bedridden with arthritis, dropsy and arteriosclerosis, perhaps this was not so much a symptom of his prophetic genius as a statement of the obvious. In desperate times, soothsayers have a ready audience for their nonsense. It’s the meeting point of cynicism and gullibility Dan Jones
