Nostradamus 1999 (Paperback)

by Stefan Paulus (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Nostradamus's last specifically dated prophecy targets 1999, and things look pretty bleak from there on out. Stephan Paulus goes out on a limb, making specific predictions and biblical parallels where other authors are more guarded with their interpretations. Nostradamus 1999 dispenses with the prophet's Centuries, which deal with events past, and concentrates on what lies just ahead. Take a look at what the prophet thought the future has in store. "Forewarned is forearmed!"

Product Description
Stepping into the future, this book about Nostradamus offers his predictions for the next 30 years, comparing prophecies with Islamic ones which are already coming true. The prophecies include a meteor that will hit the earth, a 27-year world war, and the unification of Islamic nations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Biased and premised on a comet - not academic, tabloid like., April 30, 1999

By A Customer

The book is based on the premise that Century 10, Quatrain 72 - "King of Terror" is a comet. The parsing of words is rammed down your throat, this interpretation cannot be wrong! The cover of the book has a badge that says "Who will survive?", the cover shows a clock with a planet earth background and a header that says "A COMET IS HURTLING TOWARD EARTH..."

Nostradamus was vauge in his prophecies, but Mr. Paulus does not think that his "interpretations can be." The whole book is based on this one most likely incorrect or unlikely scenario.

I got John Houge's The Complete Prophecies. The author gives guidlines for interpretations and challanges the reader to examine the interpretations, for that is all these are. The Quatrains are interesting and facinating.

John Hauge's book let's you explore these possibilities without telling you what to believe.

Don't buy the Paulus book, you'll be diasappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrifying, is doomsday coming ?, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

I bought Nostradamus' Prophecies way back in 1971. Approximately around that same time I saw a documentary hosted by actor George Kennedy; in the coming decades more and disasters were predicted (earthquakes, fires, floods, global warming etc). I have been thinking about it every since.

Being interested in all earth matters I have watched every National Geographic documentary on meteorites and comets; about the odds that earth can be hit again, the probability that that is why the dinasaur became extinct, and about the comet that fell to earth in 1908 in Siberia.

And then, then I read Stefan Paulus' book "Nostradamus 1999" and I feel the jigsaw puzzle is completed. Paulus has interpreted the prophecies into real possibilities, based on realism and on actual facts. He knows what he is talking about.

We will be able to see the comet coming during the eclipse. The European 1999 eclipse (August 11th at 11.11 am) is to be seen in a.o. France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium and Joesoslavia (!).

I sincerely hope that Mr Paulus took the wrong prophecies and interpreted them in the wrong sequence. I would advise everyone who is interested in world politics, and who has a healthy and keen interest in what is happening to earth, to buy this book. Read it, digest it intelligently and do, or don't do whatever you feel is necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great logic in interpretations. Are you ready for it?, July 30, 1999

By	Mr. David Tong (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

Unlike other books on the prophecies, this book (i) cuts all prophecies of the past (ii) reorder the rest by real-life chronical orders; and explains his logics of the interpretations in details. Readers would certainly hope that this book's interpretations are wrong; otherwise, Western life style, as we now enjoy, will end in less than 2 months. But beware, he mixes his logical interpretations (e.g., through astrological studies and ancient naming) with his own 'predictions' -- e.g., he predicts that the destruction of NYC will not cause great deaths because the highway will allow most to leave before the horror - this prediction of his was never mentioned in Nostradamus' poems, just his own prediction or wishful thinking. Readers need to distinguish the two.
