Nostradamus has been credited with predicting several major world events.

Several quatrains focus on the rise of the antichrist and the end of the world:

Century 1, Quatrain 46

Very near to Auch, Lectoure and Mirande, [Southwestern France] Great fire in the sky for three nights will fall:
A very stupendous and marvelous event will happen, Very soon after the earth will tremble.

Century 1, Quatrain 50

From the three water signs will be born a man who will celebrate Thursday as his feast day.
His renown, praise, rule and power will grow on land and sea, bringing trouble to the East.

Century 1, Quatrain 67

The great famine which I sense approaching Will often turn [up in various areas] then become worldwide.
It will be so vast and long-lasting that [people] will grab Roots from the trees and children from the breast.

Century 1, Quatrain 69

The great mountain, seven stadia [4,247 feet] in circumference, After peace, war, famine, flooding, [The impact?] Will spread far, drowning great countries Even antiquities and their mighty foundations.

Century 2, Quatrain 30

One who the infernal gods of Hannibal
Will cause to be reborn, terror of all mankind Never more horror nor the newspapers tell of worse in the past, Than will come to the Romans through Babel (Iraq).

Century 2, Quatrain 62

Mabus then will soon die, there will come A horrible slaughter of people and animals:
At once vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred hands, Thirst and hunger when the comet will run.

The voice of the unusual bird is heard,
In the pipe of the breathing floor:
Bushels of wheat will rise so high,
That man will devour his fellow man.

Century 2, Quatrain 89

One day the two great leaders will become friends (and/or "halved, split"), Their great power will be seen to increase:
The new land will be at the height of its power (America), To the bloody one the numbers are reported.

Century 3, Quatrain 3

With Mars and Mercury and the Moon in conjunction, Toward the south there will be extreme drought:
In the depths of Asia one will say the earth trembles, Corinth, Ephesus then in a troubled state.

Century 4, Quatrain 95

The rule will be left to two; they will hold it for a very short time.
Three years and seven months passed, they will go to war:
Their two vassals rebel against them,
The victor is born on Armenian (?) soil.

Century 5, Quatrain 63

From the vain enterprise honor and undeserved complaint, Boats tossed about among the Latins, cold, hunger, waves Not far from the Tiber the land stained with blood, And diverse plagues will be upon mankind.

Century 5, Quatrain 90

In the Cyclades, in Perinthus and Larissa, In Sparta and the entire Pelopennesus: [the Balkans and all of Greece] Very great famine, plague through false dust, Nine months will it last throughout the entire peninsula.

Very great famine (caused) by a plague-ridden wave, Will extend through long rain the length of the Arctic pole:
"Samarobryn" one hundred leagues from the hemisphere, They will live without law, exempt from politics.

Century 8, Quatrain 17

Those at ease will suddenly be cast down, The world put into trouble by three brothers; Their enemies will seize the marine city, Hunger, fire, blood, plague, all evils doubled.

Century 8, Quatrain 77

The Antichrist very soon annihilates the three, Twenty-seven years the blood of his war will last.
The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled; With blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth.

Century 9, Quatrain 31

The trembling of the earth at Mortara
The tin island of St. George half sunk;
Drowsy with peace, war will arise,
At Easter in the temple abysses open.

The horrible war which is prepared in the West, The following year will come the pestilence So very horrible that young, old, nor beast (will survive), Blood, fire, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter in France.

Sun twentieth of Taurus the earth will tremble very mightily, It will ruin the great theater filled:
To darken and trouble air, sky and land, Then the infidel will call upon God and saints.

Century 10, Quatrain 60

I weep for Nice, Monaco, Pisa, Genoa,
Savona, Siena, Capua, Modena, Malta:
For the above blood and sword for a New Year's gift, Fire, the earth will tremble, water an unhappy reluctance.

Century 10, Quatrain 66

The chief of London through the realm of America, The Isle of Scotland will be tried by frost:
King and "Reb" will face an Antichrist so false, [or "Roy Reb" or "Reb the King"] That he will place them all into the conflict.

Century 10, Quatrain 67

A very mighty trembling in the month of May, Saturn in Capricorn, Jupiter and Mercury in Taurus:
Venus also in Cancer, Mars in Virgo,
At that time hail will fall larger than an egg.
