…this does tell of an event from the past. I think he was more or less conning people for money by telling them these things would happen, people would create them in their minds and then live them in their lives and in their communities. Maybe that’s why Cassius Gibbs and Liston McKinney ended up in a brawl and the library in Swan Quarter, NC was burned because of such quackery and frivolity.
If it predicted anything it predicted the death of Lincoln and the burning of Charleston, SC. It could be the history of Caesar’s death and the burning of the Great Library of Alexandria, the burning of London, or it could Nebuchadnezzar and the toppling of the Colossus, it could be Sodom and Gomorrah…
New York, the 'City of God'???
The first quatrain to hit email inboxes on 9/11 contained the prediction that a "great thunder" would be heard in the "City of God":
"In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos,
while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb",
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"- Nostradamus 1654
