Leonard cohen - the future.

Nostradamus is the Latinized form of Michel de Nostredame, the French astrologer, who lived from 1503 to 1566. His great popularity is apparent when one ponders that he is one of the few authors whose work has never been out of print for over four hundred years!
His family converted from Judaism to Catholicism when he was 9 years old. Regarding Roman Catholicism:

He approved the Ceremonies of the Roman Church and remained faithful to the Catholic faith and religion, holding that outside it there was no salvation. He gravely reproved those who, having withdrawn from its embrace, were prepared to let themselves be fed and watered by the easy-going freedoms of damnable foreign doctrines. Their end, he asserted, would be evil and nasty (NE, p. 43).

Furthermore:

It is important to remember the Jewish element of Nostradamus’ childhood when trying to decipher the Prophecies, as he was greatly influenced by occult Jewish literature (PON, p. 5).
