Nostradamus book ‘largely came true’ claimed author who correctly predicted the Queen's death

A Nostradamus book that correctly predicted Queen Elizabeth II would die in 2022 contains other correct predictions, its publisher claims. And it could also contain a mysterious message about Elon Musk’s mission to take mankind to Mars, says the author’s son.

Mario Reading’s ‘Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies for the Future’ is said to be the only Nostradamus book on the market that deals exclusively with the French physician's future prophecies. It uses Mario’s theory that the quatrains written by Nostradamus are number indexed to correlate with dates.

First released in 2005, the book’s publisher Watkins claims that Mario’s interpretations of the cryptic ‘quatrains’ written by Nostradmus in the 1550s correctly predicted the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in 2007 and the Credit Crunch in 2008.

And, speaking in a video interview, Mario claimed his 2005 book and Nostradamus also correctly predicted the Islamic terrorist attacks in Paris in 2015. He said: “There are a couple of quatrains that are really quite stunningly prescient and they were the ones I discussed at the time.

“I dated them, according to index dates, between two and three years out - but I think when I read them to you you’ll realise how specific they are.

“The first one is: ‘Because of French carelessness and misunderstanding; the Mohamedens will find a way in. Blood will soak the Seine by land and sea; The Phocenesian port will fill with sails and vessels… well, that’s very specific about an attack on Paris, the Seine.”

“Since the book came out, virtually every single quatrain has come nearly or completely true,” claimed Mario. “I can really stand there and say, hand on heart, go and look at the early editions - nothing has changed.”

Mario also claims Nostradamus correctly predicted that King Charles I would be executed in 1649, by the Parliamentarian ‘Roundheads’, during the English Civil War.

“There’s an extraordinary quatrain, index dated 49," said Mario. "Any historian will immediately know what I’m talking about when it says the English Parliament will put their king to death…

“Well, at the time that Nostradamus wrote this, in 1555, no Parliament had ever put their king to death. It had never occurred - and Charles I was beheaded in 1649.”

Mario’s interpretations also look at the future of another King Charles, our current monarch - in a section that correctly predicted Queen Elizabeth II would die in 2022.

Nostradamus quatrain 10/22 reads: “Because they disapproved of his divorce, A man who later they considered unworthy; The People will force out the King of the islands; A Man will replace who never expected to be king.”

In his 2005 book, Mario wrote: “This Quatrain will come as no surprise to the British people and it has wide implications. The first is that Queen Elizabeth will die, circa 2022, at the age of around 96, five years short of her mother’s term of life.”

Sadly, this prediction appears to have now come true, after The Queen passed away last week at the age of 96. Mario then goes on to claim the 10/22 Quatrain predicts that King Charles will abdicate because he is “weary at the persistent attacks on both himself and second wife” because of “resentments held against him by a certain proportion of the British population, following his divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales”.

However, the 2005 book concludes that it is Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex - a man who never expected to be King - who will become the next Monarch, instead of his brother William, the new Prince of Wales. Mario died in January 2017, so he did not live to see his interpretation of the Nostradamus quatrain, which he claimed predicted Queen Elizabeth would die in 2022, come true in part at least.

And it has made the headlines in recent days as the prediction about the abdication of King Charles re-emerged, as reported by WalesOnline. Now, his son, Laurie Reading, has expressed amazement at the response to his dad's work.

He described his father - who wrote a number of Nostradamus Prophecies books including best-seller The Antichrist series thriller trilogy - as ‘a hero’. Laurie told us: “It's been completely incredible to see so many people discussing and sharing my father’s book.

“It really was a labour of love for him to write, and if he was here today he'd be wonderfully proud that a number of his interpretations have come to fruition. I look forward to seeing what other predictions come true.”

Laurie highlighted one prediction for 2023 that he believes may be about Elon Musk’s mission to get to Mars. Quatrain 5/23 reads: “The two contenders will unite together; When most others unite with Mars; The African leader is fearful and trembles; The dual alliance is separated by the fleet.”

Mario’s interpretation makes no mention of Musk or space travel - and suggested instead that the world would see “two powers unite to together” in order to combat global warfare.

However, Laurie told us that he thinks the ‘African leader’ could be a reference to tech mogul and engineer Elon Musk - who was born in South Africa and plans to send humans to Mars to colonise the red planet by 2050.
