  • •Nostradamus's ambiguous prophecies are being re-examined for 2026 amidst current global instability, including conflicts, pandemics, and climate disasters.
  • •Interpretations for 2025, such as the end of the Russia-Ukraine war or an asteroid collision, largely did not materialize, though Amazon flooding aligned with some warnings.
  • •Key 2026 predictions include a 'thunderbolt' (downfall of a powerful figure) and 'Ticino overflowing with blood' (instability in neutral regions or biomedical advances).
  • •Other prophecies for 2026 mention 'seven months great war' (prolonged conflict, possibly in Europe) and 'naval conflict' (interpreted as South China Sea disputes).
  • •Enigmatic verses like 'swarm of bees' (totalitarian regimes, cyber warfare) and the emergence of a 'man of light' (guidance through turmoil) are also discussed.
