Nostradamus is famously said to have predicted the rise of Adolf Hitler in 1933 and the Great Fire of London in 1666. Nostradamus penned his supposed predictions of the future in his magnum opus, the 1555 book Les Propheties. And if Nostradamus’ followers are to be believed this time around, the world could be headed for a rough year marked by political unrest, war and the threat of climate change. British psychic and medium Craig Hamilton-Parker from Psychics.co.uk also shared with Express.co.uk some of his predictions for 2020, revealing bizarre overlaps between his predictions and Nostradamus’.

Did Nostradamus predict war will break out in 2020?

READ MORE Jesus Christ: Archaeology 'evidence' has link to crucifixion - expert Nostradamus is believed by many to have predicted the outbreak of World War 3 and some think 2020 could be the year it finally happens. Tensions in the Middle East rose high after US President Donald Trump ordered a missile strike on Iran’s Major General Qassem Soleimani on January 3. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vowed “forceful revenge” in retaliation for the attack, which the US dubbed a countermeasure against future acts of terrorism. Iran retaliated days later with a series of missile attacks on US army bases in Iraq. With the western world and the eastern world clashing, conflict in the Middle East and domestic unrest in China, the world teetered on the brink of chaos. One Nostradamus passage, in particular, could forewarn of a global conflict unfolding next year. The Nostradamus prophecy reads: “Twice put up and twice cast down, the East will also weaken the West. “Its adversary after several battles chased by sea will fail at time of need.”

“The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt. An evil deed, foretold by the bearer of a petition.”

Impeachment will empower Trump. He claims a deep-state Coup d'état Craig Hamilton-Parker, Psychics.co.uk

Based on his own predictions for the next year, Mr Hamilton-Parker said there is a strong possibility a war will break out. However, the psychic foresaw a devastating conflict unfolding in the Middle East, rather than globally, which he said will last from 2020 until 2021. The conflict will involve “riots in Iran” and an all-out war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Off the back of the conflict, Mr Hamilton-Parker said: “Putin and Trump enforce a peace deal.” DON’T MISS

What did Nostradamus predict about climate change in 2020? Some of Nostradamus’ writings have been interpreted to suggest climate change will cause the sea levels to dangerously rise. Nostradamus wrote: “On the hilltops of Bailly and the Bresle, the proud one of Grenoble will be hidden. “Beyond Lyons and Vienne on them a very great hail, Lobster on the land not a third thereof will remain.” According to Mr Hamilton-Parker’s predictions, there is a possibility natural disasters will ravage the planet in 2020. He said: “2020 will see many earthquakes. In particular, Japan and India will see major quakes that may cause disruption to the Summer Olympics. “The USA will also experience earthquakes.” The psychic also predicts Miami will be “badly damaged” by a hurricane and a volcano will erupt on a small island, although he could not specify where.
