ONLY two days into the new year and some are claiming that Nostradamus' predictions for 2024 have already starting coming true.
Nostradamus, the French astrologist from the 16th century, details predictions for hundreds of years in the future
Nostradamus, an astrologist, was best known for his 1555 text Les Propheties, which details daunting prophecies for hundreds of years into the future.
On New Year's Day, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit Japan
The text has 943 verses and the astrologist has been credited with possibly predicting the rise of Adolf Hitler and COVID-19.
In his predictions for 2024, Nostradamus wrote: “The dry Earth will become more parched and there will be great floods.”
On New Year's Day in Japan, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck, killing at least 57 people, toppling buildings and causing 3-foot waves.
Residents along the coast ran for higher ground as the water swept houses and cars into the sea, causing some to wonder if Nostradamus' prediction came true.
Here's a look at some of the other predictions Nostradamus made for the upcoming year.
PRINCE HARRY COULD BECOME KING
A section of the text says a "King of the Isles" will be "driven out by force."
This line is thought to be referring to King Charles III.
Another passage said: "soon afterward [a disastrous war] a new King shall be anointed / Who, for a long time, will appease the earth," according to IFLScience.
This passage is thought to also be about King Charles.
Another line stated that the new king would be replaced by "one who will have no mark of a king," reported The Daily Mail.
It could mean Prince Harry could fill the role because, unlike Prince William, Harry is not in line for the throne having "no mark of a king."
WAR ON CHINA'S WATERS
In a verse that begins by describing "combat and naval battle," the astrologist writes of how a "Red adversary will become pale with fear, putting the great ocean in dread."
The "Red adversary" could be referring to China, by the color of their flag.
And the naval battle could be referring to an ongoing discussion with the state of Taiwan, an island located in China's seas.
Beijing has the largest navy on the planet so this could be a serious conflict if this prediction comes true.
CLIMATE DISASTER
Climate change has been an increasingly serious and debated issue, especially in the last few years.
Nostradamus' prediction about the dry earth growing more parched and there being great floods could also allude to wildfires and other natural disasters to come.
In 2023, there were 54,273 wildfires according to the National Interagency Fire Center, and an increasing amount of flooding worldwide.
The mystic predicted that 2024 will see even more climate chaos than 2023.
A NEW POPE
According to Nostradamus' predictions, we may have a new pope in 2024.
“Through the death of a very old Pontiff, A Roman of good age will be elected, Of him it will be said that he weakens his see, But long will he sit and in biting activity,” he wrote in his text.
Pope Francis, who turned 87 on December 17, has been experiencing some health issues.
In November, he was unable to read a speech and handed it off to an aide, reported the New York Post.
Soon after, the Vatican announced that doctors asked the pope, who had been struggling with lung inflammation causing breathing problems, to skip a trip to a U.N. climate conference in Dubai.
