Genghis Khan was no more a tyrant than Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar. Yes, he may have been responsible for the deaths of thousands through his empire building but then he also did a lot of good too.
If tolerance is a form of deception then that would explain why Christianity has been so lacking in tolerance throughout it's history compared to that of many other religions.
As to Nostradamus, if any of his "predictions" where true then we would not have to resort to interpreting them as they would clearly state what was to happen and not be worded like a cryptic crossword question.
grendals_bane,
Believe as you wish.
Nostradamus communicated in a coded language for the same reason any Intelligence agency does, SECURITY.
If the Quatrain was plainly written and not as a parable, that would mean anyone with any kind of background could understand
it. Future events written about would then be altered creating more violence in this world than we already have, this is why we
have the many wars we do because of ungodly entities looking into the Future.
Certain Quatrains were not meant to be understood by just anybody for there can be no direct advantage or
even disadvantage created in reading them beyond the advancement of righteousness and those who follow it.
But because we are near the end of this age in which God is yet a mystery, the time for the interpretations of these quatrains is
now.
There is a Quatrain that speaks of these interpretations falling into the hand of a certain tyrant, but all of these things are by
God's design for all that would attempt to misuse these interpretations will be cursed with a great curse.
