Is Nostradamus a real seer? How can we tell if his quatrains are too vague for us to understand?

I don't think Nostradamus is a real seer. I guess, he is more of a poet than a seer. His quatrains are great as poetic masterpieces and not as prophecies. The contents are just too ambiguous and vague if you consider them as patterns of real events. Because of their vagueness it is not a surprise that they are misunderstood and misinterpreted. Aside from these, the quatrains he wrote don't mention anything that could be associated with real events such as the 9/11 attack. Maybe the similarities of the events he described on his works and the 9/11 event are just pure coincidence.

Not too vague to understand, just not a seer. None of his predictions have come true except when you go back and try to force them to fit, and even then it's a real stretch. Take anybody trying to use his stuff to see the future and what you'll see is it doesn't come true, then they go back and change what they "meant" to look like it kind of did, but it didn't.

The 9/11 attack and the assassinations of many world leaders are proofs that Nostradamus is an authentic seer. The rise of Hitler is also in the list of Nostradamus' predictions that came true. In his quatrains, he called Hitler Hister. These things just prove that Nostradamus is not a fake. He is a real seer who has proven his worth many times in the course of his life and in the centuries to come after his death. I believe that his name and his work will continue to resound for centuries to come because of the accuracy of the prophecies he made.

The genius of Nostradamus is manifested in his quatrains. His quatrains are so vague that it could refer to any other event that is very possible to happen in any era. By writing in this way, he could be credited for having predicted many great events. Nostradamus is not really very different from fake psychics who use the cold reading techniques. He made vague and general statements that could actually be applied to some events that happened in the past and would possibly happen in the future. I think Nostradamus is not a real seer. He's a fake. His works are often distorted by many people in order to prove that he is not bogus.

Nostradamus is a reputed seer who lived during the 16th century. He is considered as one of the most famous seers of all time. It is said that Nostradamus predicted various world events, events that took place centuries after he predicted them. I believe that Nostradamus is a real seer. If he's not, then why did his predictions of the 9/11 attack and presidential assassinations come true? Only an authentic and gifted seer such as Nostradamus could be able to foresee events several centuries ahead of his own time.
