Nostradamus predicts major celebrity will die this year and gives 'seven month' WW3 warning for 2026
Nostradamus predicted that a major celebrity will die this year among a number of other significant predictions for the world in the year 2026.
It’s even more strange given that the famous French foreseer died hundreds of years ago.
Nostradamus set out his predictions centuries ago
In the world of ominous predictions, it doesn’t get much more renowned than Nostradamus.
Born as Michel de Nostradame, he started making bold calls back in 1555 when he wrote a book called Les Prophéties, which contained many cryptic notes on things that he believed would one day come to pass.
Among them are a number of massive messages about the modern day, some wild and outlandish, others more open to interpretation.
However, despite many pretenders to the throne emerging with their own hot takes on that which has yet to come to pass, there’s really no one like the OG when it comes to this sort of thing.
So, here’s what he had to say about 2026 - and which significant celebrity might want to keep one eye open.
Nostradamus has a worrying prediction for a huge celebrity
Now, the famous Frenchman has been quoted as having predicted everything from 9/11 to the rise of Hitler and the death of Diana, but usually the connection needs a little bit of work.
This one is no different.
With the year 2026 already yielding some significant events, could a ‘great man’ be about to meet his maker?
That’s what it says in verse 26 of Chapter 1, in which it is foretold that ‘the great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt’.
But, who is the ‘great man’ mentioned?
It could be the one who we all think it is - admit it - or it could be someone else, like King Charles, or even a star of stage or screen.
The ‘thunderbolt’ could be taken a few ways, including a natural death from God, or perhaps the fact that guns weren’t quite what they are today when Nostradamus lived.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
Another big prediction some believe is coming true
One significant thing that many have suggested Nostradamus was right is his prediction that a ‘great swarm of bees will arise… by night the ambush’.
Could that be a reference to drone warfare, particularly that between the USA and Iran in recent days?
Who can possibly say?
Nostradamus’ prediction of a great war helps to support the theory of a devastating drone war.
The specific quatrain reads: "Seven months great war, people dead through evil/ Rouen, Evreux the King will not fail."
Then, there are other potential calls about Switzerland being in trouble and Mars - the bringer of war, remember - making a path across the stars, leaving ‘human blood’ sprinkled behind.
That prediction ominously adds: ”Three fires rise from the eastern sides, while the West loses its light in silence.”
So, what does it all mean?
Maybe nothing, maybe everything - it depends on what you believe.
