I don't think The Book of Prophecies by Nostradamus reveals anything. The contents are too vague that they seem to appear like riddles instead of prophecies. I give credit to Nostradamus for his use of a very ingenious technique. I believe he made the quatrains very vague and somewhat general for people to easily misinterpret, misunderstand the text. Nostradamus clearly knew that people have a tendency to bend the meanings of vague statements. I also credit him for the quatrains. The text is actually very poetic. I guess, Nostradamus should be hailed as a poet rather than a psychic.

Nostra dumbass was a poet and nothing more. His works weren't meant to tell the future and it's a good thing because they don't. Never have, never will. Ask PT Barnum what he thought of Nostradamus.

The Book of Prophecies by Nostradamus reveals a lot of things about the future. There are many events that could prove that Nostradamus' predictions did come true. Among the famous predictions that came true include the rise of Hitler to power and the Second World War. Many are skeptical about the authenticity of his predictions because of the vagueness of his quatrains. However, if you really analyze the quatrains, it is not difficult to associate their meanings to some of the famous world events. You just have to consider the possibilities.

How could anyone think that The Book of Prophecies by Nostradamus contains riddles and not prophecies? Those who agree with this didn't read the book. Actually there are many things on this book that refer to historical events. These include some details on the Second World War. There are also predictions on the assassinations of some great leaders. If the book is all about riddles and vague guesses and statements, then how come some of the predictions in this book did come true? People who call this book a book of riddles are just skeptics who don't want to accept that there are some people who have the rare gift of seeing through the future.

The Book of Prophecies by Nostradamus is one of the famous books about predictions. The book contains his prophecies that are written in quatrains. It reveals various visions that many claimed to have come true, and predictions that would still come true in the near future. This Book of Prophecies by Nostradamus involves various world events such as the rise of Hitler, the assassination of Kennedy, and the 9/11 attack. This book reveals various things about the future, so there's no reason to think that this is just a book pf riddles made by Nostradamus.
