I should had copied the whole thing.

In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos,
while the fortress endures,
the great leader will succumb.

The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.

On the 11th day of the 9 month,
two metal birds will crash into two tall statues
in the new city,
and the world will end soon after.

But it only says "New city" and "big city" either they both mean something, or big city is something different.

[Otis Da HousKat]

Holy crap, that sounds so loving fake. You didn't even provide a source.

    The Truth
Nostradamus experts say this not accurate.

Part of the eRumor seems to be based on a writing of Nostradamus that goes like this:

"At forty-five degrees the sky will burn, fire to approach the great new city: In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up, when one will want to demand proof of the Normans." (quatrain 6-97)

There is no reference in the original writing to the place called "york" and no reference to "the year of the new century and nine months."  

Other parts of the eRumor seem to be based on the following text, "In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn
apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb."

That quote is not from Nostradamus, however.  It's from Neil Marshall, a student at Brock University who created the text as part of a critique he wrote about Nostradamus.

The bottom line is that the eRumor is not a authentic quote from Nostradamus.

Probly just a coincidence.

tldr: You fell for a fake writing produced by a Canadian college student to illustrate the point that Nostradamus's "prophecies" are vague enough to be self-fulfilling.


But,

Fine be in denial

EDIT:

Even if it's from Neil he did write about it before 9/11 could be another coincidence. Or he just rewrote what Nostradamus said.

Here is your original post for posterity. I have no idea why you edited it.

[zombie.cxnt]

Didn't Neil write it before 9/11 as a joke?

-edit- I already read the part about when Neil faked it but it also said he just he just rewrote quatrain.

"That particular quatrain was offered by the page's author, Neil Marshall, as a fabricated example to illustrate how easily an important-sounding prophecy could be crafted through the use of abstract imagery. He pointed out how the terms he used were so deliberately vague they could be interpreted to fit any number of cataclysmic events."

No.

No.

Oh that makes sense, but there was other predictions Nostradamus made that needs to be explained.
