NOSTRADAMUS—VILLAIN OR SAINT?

Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu:

Nonstradamus was a soothsayer who made many predictions. Though quite a number of them occurred, the accuracy failed short of God’s standard; which is hundred percent fulfillment. This differentiates true prophets of God from soothsayers or false prophets. Nonstradamus, like other false or true prophets, believe that this present world would one day come to an end. But he had no clear idea on how it will happen. Even false religions and secret societies, know that something unusual will happen in this world. Something very spectacular is about to happen in this sinful and adulterous generation, when God Almighty –the creator of the whole universe, will begin to manifest His power and presence as never before.
Nostradamus was born Michel de Nostradame in Saint-Remy-de-Provence, France in 1503. He studied medicine and became a physician, treating plague victims throughout France and Italy. It’s believed he had a psychic awakening. He began to practice the occult and make predictions of the future, which he published in The Prophecies.

NONSTRADAMUS

Many people today believe his predictions have come true or will in the future. During this time, young Nostradamus was taught the rudiments of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and mathematics. It is believed that his grandfather also introduced him to the ancient rights of Jewish tradition and the celestial sciences of astrology, giving Nostradamus his first exposure to the idea of the heavens and how they drive human destiny.

Nostradamus suffered from gout and arthritis for much of his adult life. In the last years of his life, the condition turned into edema or dropsy, where abnormal amounts of fluid accumulate beneath the skin or within cavities of the body. Without treatment, the condition resulted in congestive heart failure. In late June of 1566,

Nostradamus asked to see his lawyer to draw up an extensive will, leaving much of his estate to his wife and children. On the evening of July 1, he was alleged to have told his secretary Jean de Chavigny, “You will not fine me alive at sunrise.” The next morning he was reportedly found dead lying on the floor next to his bed.
Most of the quatrains Nostradamus composed during his life dealt with disasters such as plagues, earthquakes, wars, floods, invasions murders, droughts, and battles. Nostradamus enthusiasts have credited him with predicting numerous events in world history including the French Revolution; the rise of Napoleon and Hitler; the development of the atomic bomb; and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Nostradamus’s popularity seems to be due in part to the fact that the vagueness of his writings and their lack of specific dates make it easy to selectively quote them after any major dramatic events and retrospectively claim them as true.

Nostradamus was quite certain of how the world will come to an end. But he had no clear idea when and how it will happen. Nobody: whether true or false prophet, angel or devil knows. All human predictions are wrong. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”
A lot of people have made predictions at various periods, on end of the world. Of course, they failed woefully. Theudas declared himself the Messiah, taking 400 people with him into the desert. He was beheaded by Roman soldiers. Josephus records this.
Once upon a time, there existed a man called De Lawrence, who claimed “Messiah” sent by God. But he ended up in a tragic way. He had his twelve disciples. He moved around with them to preach ‘perfection’ to mankind. He presented himself as a living perfect master. He paraded himself and disciples around. He allowed himself to be crucified on the cross.  He died and was buried. He  ‘resurrected’ on the third day. Actually a demon impersonated him in his fake resurrection. Later, he attempted to ascend into the sky. But thunder said no!

Initially, as he was ascending, the weather began to change and became gloomy: as if it was about to rain. He was in-between the sky and the earth, when Almighty God released a mighty thunder on him. The thunder struck and tore him to pieces. The pieces of his meat, bones, and blood, scattered all over the place. Up till today, nobody has tried to die: resurrect, and ascend into heaven like Jesus Christ; for fear that thunder may say no!

A false prophet predicted end of the world on October 30 that year. On that faithful day, he gathered his followers, and held night vigil in a building. They waited anxiously for the world to end; and nothing happened. At midnight, he poured petrol round the house and set it ablaze. The fire burnt him and his gullible adherents. By the time fire fighters and Police to the scene for rescue, they were all burnt to death. Their own world ended that night!

There are many strange things happening in the world nowadays; like visitations of angels of God. An incidence occurred in United States not too long ago. A lady driving along the express way, stopped and gave a lift to a man. Of course she wasn’t aware the man was angel of God. As they were moving the gentleman inquired from the lady, whether she knew the latest   news in town? She declined. He said, “Angel Michael is  with  the  trumpet  and  about  to   blow   the   trumpet  any moment  from  now”. The lady demanded for more explanation. Then, he  disappeared from the car, and the lady was shocked.

She stopped, opened the door of her car and came out. As she was standing by the side of the highway, she called the Police and narrated the whole story. And the Police disclosed that the lady was the eighth person that had the same experience in the United State of America.

Similar incidents abound all over the countries. They are signs that something very spectacular is about to happen. We hear of  strange handwriting in the sky talking about the imminent end of this present world.

The advocates and practitioners of homosexuality and lesbianism, are among harbingers of end-time. They should remember what Almighty God did to people of Sodom and Gomorrah, their “ancestors” in the abomination acts. He rained fire and brimstone upon them and their cities; and utterly destroyed them. They are all enemies of God, the owner of the whole universe. History confirmed the incidence……………………..

Ruins Of Sodom And Gomorrah

The ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah have been discovered southeast of the Dead Sea. The modern names are Bab edh-Dhra, thought to be Sodom, and Numeira, thought to be Gomorrah. Both places were destroyed at the same time by an enormous conflagration. The destruction debris was about three feet thick. Archaeologists found that buildings used to bury the dead were burned by a fire that started on the roof.
What would cause every structure in the cemetery to be destroyed in this way? The answer to the mystery is found in the Bible. “Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens” (Genesis 19:24). The only conceivable explanation for this unique discovery in the annals of archaeology is that burning debris fell on the buildings from the air. But how could such a thing happen? The. destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah became an example in the Bible of how God judges sin.

Evangelist Joseph U. Afurobi

There is a close relationship between homosexuals and lesbians on one side, and members of secret societies on the other side. Virtually all the gays belong to occult. They include occult Presidents and occult Prime Ministers. Royal families of commonwealth fraternize with Freemason society. They pressurize Commonwealth Heads of States members, to legalize the so-called gay marriages in their respective countries. I salute African countries, including Kenya and Nigeria, that rejected the evil proposal. Instead, they enacted laws stipulating jail terms for offenders. Commonwealth Heads of states gathering has begun to appear as occult organization.

Gay marriage is a contraction instituted by Satan for his followers, against God’s plan of sanctity of marriage for only male and female, for the purpose of reproduction. Gays (Sodomites), can never produce off springs from their satanic union. “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient”—Romans 1:26-28.

They engage in the acts in order to satisfy the animalistic urge in them. There are places homosexuals and lesbians, who are caught in the acts are flogged thoroughly in the buttocks; in an attempt to flog that “madness” out of their waists! It is a known fact, that the venereal diseases like HIV and AIDS originated among gays, and those who have intercourse with animals.

Gays  (Sodomites), of our modern time have done worse than the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Some countries are now legalizing gay marriages; abomination before Almighty God. He would have destroyed such nations involved long time ago, but for the presence of righteous people among them. Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, as He couldn’t get up to ten righteous persons there. It will be more tolerable in the day of judgement for inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, than the present generation of gays and their backers. God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he reap. Natural disasters like: earthquakes in diverse places, famines, hurricanes, excessive flooding, etc, are signs of the end-time.

All these abominable acts point to the fact we are very close to the end of this world. These will usher in righteous millennium (1000 years) rule. Before then, Satan – that told serpent who has been deceiving and terrorizing the world, will be bound and banished into the bottomless pit for one thousand years. “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season” – Revelation 20:1-3.

Everybody will one day stand before God Almighty, to give account of his life. The righteous shall go into everlasting life; while the sinners and occultists shall go into everlasting punishment. “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” – Revelation 20:11-15.

There is no future in indulging in abominable acts: like gay, occult, among other evils. You need to return to your creator Jehovah.  Only him should be worshiped. Satan and his devils are mere created beings. There was a time they were working for God until the time they rebelled and were cast out of His presence. They now lure gullible people into serving them or worshiping idols, as well as membership of occult.

God said, “Thou shall have no other gods before me. Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.
