Nostradamus Predicts ASTEROIDS, FAMINE And ZOMBIES For A ...

If you thought this year was bad, just wait for 2021.

French philosopher Michel de Nostradamus has forecast famine, devastating asteroids and even a zombie apocalypse in the next 12 months.

Nostradamus, who died in 1566, found modern fame with his scarily accurate track record for predicting future events like the Apollo 11 moon landing, assassination of JFK, 9/11 and World War II.

Among his terrifying prophecies for 2021, the 16th century astrologer hinted that Russian scientists would create a biological weapon that will create a virus which turns people into zombies.

“Few young people: half-dead to give a start. Dead through spite, he will cause the others to shine, And in an exalted place some great evils to occur,” he wrote.

“Sad concepts will come to harm each one, Temporal dignified, the Mass to succeed. Fathers and mothers dead of infinite sorrows, Women in mourning, the pestilent she−monster: The Great One to be no more, all the world to end.”

If that wasn’t bad enough, Nostradamus also prophesied that a famine of biblical proportions would cause chaos across the earth.

“After great trouble for humanity, a greater one is prepared, The Great Mover renews the ages: Rain, blood, milk, famine, steel, and plague, Is the heavens fire seen, a long spark running,” he said.

It gets even worse.

Nostradamus also claimed earth would be smashed by solar storms and a huge comet to top off the year around Christmas time, writing: “In the sky, one sees fire and a long trail of sparks.”

The philosopher’s writings have been widely criticised for being incredibly vague and often wrong, including in 2012, when the world didn’t actually end.
