The end of the world and the rise of the "Water Empire": Nostradamus predicted a challenging year ahead in 2025.

Although the French astrologer Nostradamus passed away 458 years ago, his enigmatic predictions continue to find interpretations among his followers. The prophecies recorded in the famous collection Les Prophéties from 1555 forecast challenging times for the year 2025. This is reported by Lad Bible.

Here are the key predictions that may shock you.

War in England and the Return of the Plague

According to interpretations, the United Kingdom is expected to face large-scale wars and an outbreak of deadly plague in 2025.

"The kingdom will be marked by wars so fierce that enemies will emerge from both within and without. The great pestilence of the past returns, there is no deadlier foe under the heavens," Nostradamus wrote.

Experts believe this may indicate a new wave of instability in the country, driven by both internal and external threats.

Conflict Among World Powers

The prophet predicted an escalation of conflict among major powers, which some link to the threat of nuclear war and a decline in Western influence.

However, Nostradamus also mentions a positive aspect: advancements in the treatment and prevention of diseases, which offers hope for the development of medicine.

Catastrophes: The End of the World and Environmental Threats

Among Nostradamus's predictions is a massive asteroid that supposedly will destroy Earth. He also foretold volcanic eruptions and flooding in the Amazon, linking these events to climate change.

"The garden of the world near the new city, on the path of blazing mountains," he described the future disasters that could befall Brazil.

Mysterious Leader: The Rise of the "Water Empire"

One of the most mysterious prophecies concerns the emergence of an unknown leader who will establish a new empire on water.

While it sounds fantastical, researchers note that these words may hint at changes in resource use and water technologies.

The publication emphasizes that despite the grim forecasts, there is hope that these interpretations will turn out to be merely creative hypotheses, and humanity will be able to overcome any challenges.

It has also been revealed that the "living Nostradamus" believes that The Moon may be an advanced alien artifact. Athos Salome, who claims to glimpse into the future, has put forth a bold theory regarding Earth's satellite.
