Regardless of the words, he does not believe in an anti-Christ. Nostradamus does not tell "all" in the quatrains, rather he reveals his mysteries in his symbols.The quatrains are like the parables that are understood by the few. There inner truths reserved for the initiates. While many quibble ove...
