You just made a slight connection yourself. :-) Look at the subject 
line of this email, which refers to the digest I'm replying to.

Anyway, the date "911" as reference to the American alarm number 
could make sense, I think, at least in theory. No prediction 
theories are needed for that. Those ****'s who planned this 
disaster, could easily have known about such a connection in 
advance. 

Apart from this, I'm thinking, again theoretically, that if a 
prediction is written down, it could also act as a *plan* for 
anyone who reads it, as self-fullfilling prophecy. 

I mean, if I would write that A. Person will get a comic book 
in the near future. It could remind another reader of a forgotten 
promise to that person. Result: "Hey! That prediction matched! 
I got a comic! How did he know?"


About the Nostradamus subject:

I find the emails with the explanations about the hoax, but also 
about Nostradamus himself, very interesting.

The last book of the Bible ("Revelation"? Dutch name is "Openbaringen")
also contains predictions about the end of the world. A while ago 
I read an explanation by a Christian preacher. He told that there's 
a theory about these predictions which says that these predictions are 
about the fall of the Roman imperium, about 2000 years *ago*. I can't 
recall it fully, but I think that it said that the beast coming out of
the sea is Rome, and that the heads of the dragon refer to the Roman 
leaders of that time.

The theory said something about the message being coded because it
was written when being imprisoned on an island, so that it could 
pass the Romans without getting destroyed by them because of the 
contents. From that island, Rome was visible at the horizon, as 
a beast coming out of the water.

I'm sorry to be so vague. (Or erroneous?) This is all from memory.
The theory was very detailed, accompanied with quotes from the Bible.
I hope that someone else can fill me in. Maybe this theory can be 
found on internet as well?

As I already noted, this came from a Christian preacher, from an 
average Reformed/Protestant church. So, maybe it's an lesser known 
alternate Christian theory about this Bible chapter?
