Most of his writings were vague and open to interpretation.Quote:

With these tools, he was able to make the significant discoveries that resulted in the book The Nostradamus Code.
Naturally, he also wants to sell his book :D

A different analysis from: 3. The Three Antichrists - Nostradamus101.com
<snip> The Three Antichrists.
Throughout Nostradamus’ ten centuries of quatrains he speaks of three powerful antichrists that tyrannize the world from his time to ours. He calls these three individuals the anti-christs. <snip>
Napoleon is widely thought to be the first of these three anti-Christs and Hitler the second.
<snip> Nostradamus speaks of yet a third anti-Christ who will have a disastrous effect on the world. Some say that Saddam Hussein, the dictator from Iraq, could be this evil tyrant. Others say that he has not yet appeared. What does Nostradamus say about this third anti-Christ? First, Nostradamus tells us he will come from the Middle East.
Out of the country of Greater Arabia
Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed…
He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.
He will be the terror of mankind.
Never more horror.
Nostradamus also predicts that this man from Greater Arabia will invade Europe. This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together (In one quatrain Nostradamus gives us an exact date in which the war will be well under way.)
In the year 1999 and seven months
From the sky will come the great King of Terror.
He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols;
Before and after war reigns.
Of course as discussed in the section of this book that deals with 9/11 this is thought to be the attack on the twin towers. In yet another quatrain he predicts that this war will last seven and twenty years (just in case you were wondering how long it will ever take for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq!
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city.
In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude. Experts agree this could only be New York.
By fire he will destroy their city,
A cold and cruel heart,
Blood will pour,
Mercy to none.
Although the prophet of doom seems very gloomy he does predict that the war will be ended by an alliance between America and a country from the North Pole (possibly Russia or Canada).
When those of the Northern Pole are united,
In the East will be great fear and dread…
One day the two great leaders will be friends;
Their great powers will be seen to grow.
The New Land will be at the height of its power:
To the man of blood the number is reported.
Even skeptics pay careful attention to Nostradamus’ predictions of the three anti-Christs. If Nostradamus truly predicted Napoleon and Hitler we should take heed of his words about a future antichrist. In the next chapter we take an even more in-depth look at some of his predictions for the future, which includes a prediction for the end of the world. <snip>
Los Angeles Earthquakes
<snip> Everyone from physicists to evangelists to prophets have been predicting “the big one” since the San Francisco was devastated in 1906.
The sloping park, great calamity,
Through “the Lands of the West and Lombardy
The fire in the ship, plague and captivity;
Mercury in Sagitarius, Saturn fading.
(Century 10, Quatrain 79)
Lombardy is in Italy and the Lands of the West possibly refers to the New World. This quatrain seems to suggest that the earthquakes will occur in these places. According to astrologers the next time that Mercury will be in Sagittarius and Saturn in a “fading” position will be on November 25, 2015; then on November 23, 2016; and again on December 7, 2044 <snip>
