Nostradamus: will spain take back gibraltar? Shock prophecy revealed

Michel de Nostredame, more commonly known as Nostradamus, has thousands of followers who are convinced by his supposed mystic powers. The 16th-century French apothecary and seer is believed

by many to have predicted the 1848 French Revolution and the Great Fire of London of 1666. Conspiracy theorists fascinated by Nostradamus’ magnum opus, the Les Propheties from 1555, believe

it contains secret knowledge of the future. And if Nostradamus’ followers are indeed to trusted, the people of Gibraltar could be in for a surprise when the UK loses control of its British

Overseas Territory. An incredibly cryptic passage penned in Nostradamus’ Century X, or Century 10, appears to address the issue of Gibraltar’s sovereignty. The passage, speaks of a powerful

Spanish King rising to power and consolidating his grasp over the “South” both by land and by sea. Nostradamus wrote in Century 10, Quatrain 95: “To the Spains will come a very powerful

King, By land and sea subjugating the South: “This evil will cause, lowering again the crescent, Clipping the wings of those of Friday.” Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory spanning

the area of a rocky peninsula jutting out into the Mediterranean. READ MORE: NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTIONS: DID HE FOREWARN THE WORLD FOR 2019? TOP CHILLING PREDICTIONS Gibraltar sits in the

southernmost region of the Iberian Peninsula, near the strait of Gibraltar and Morocco, as described by Nostradamus. The British Territory is a mass of land surrounded by sea on all three

sides with just one connecting point to the mainland – potentially referenced by Nostradamus’ “by land and sea”. But what about “those of Friday” mentioned by Nostradamus? This could be a

direct reference to the people of Gibraltar and their 2002 referendum. The 2002 sovereignty referendum was called by the Government of Gibraltar on Thursday, November 7, 2002, to decide

whether Britain and Spain should share rule over the territory. On Friday, November 8, 2002, it was announced the people of Gibraltar have overwhelmingly rejected joint custody between the

Spanish and British. READ MORE: BABA VANGA 2019 PREDICTIONS: SHOCK CLAIMS OF CATACLYSM, END OF THE WORLD AND GLOBAL CRISIS Peter Caruana, Gibraltar's Chief Minister, said that day:

"We say to the British Government: Take stock of this referendum result, it's the will of the people of Gibraltar." The question of Gibraltar’s ownership remains a hotly

contested subject by both the British and the Spanish. Gibraltar was seceded to the British in 1713 after being captured by Anglo-Dutch forces during the War of the Spanish Succession. The

Spanish have since made claims to the sovereignty of Gibraltar, despite its residents rejecting Spanish rule in a 1967 and 2002 referendum. READ MORE: BOOK OF REVELATION PROPHECY 2019: WHAT

DOES THE BIBLE SAY WILL HAPPEN? But the more important question is whether anything penned by Nostradamus can truly be considered a prophetic vision of the future? According to Brian

Dunning, a science writer and host of the Skeptoid Podcast, Nostradamus’ cryptic passages are in no way predictions of the future. Mr Dunning said: “Michel de Nostredame was truly one of the

brilliant lights of his day, but to subscribe to false stories and urban legends is to disrespect who the man actually was. “Appreciate his contributions to medicine and Renaissance

literature, and don't trivialise his good works in favour of a pretended history of paranormal magical powers.”
