The only one who puts a people down and is justified is God, which gave them over to their own insanity. This is why they left no remnant and seem to have disappeared
Are you suggesting that the Mayans left no remnant and disappeared? There are millions of people in north/central America known as Mayans today - they are from many past cultures but some of the people are likely descended from the original "Mayans" The civilization ended, but so did the civilization of Rome. The people did not all die or abandon their culture completely, but they were likely dispersed due to overuse of the land or one of many other possible factors.

This will be given in time. The prophecy and the interpretation of the prophecy comes as the Spirit utters but know that every one who seeks Truth will have this information even in the palm of their hands which was not possible in any generation before (Ipad,smartphone).
The wealth of information we have access to includes both correct and incorrect information. The internet is a wealth of human OPINION, not of fact. You can find websites that say chocolate is good for you and websites that say it is bad for you. You can find websites that say using computers makes you smarter and using computers make you dumber.
In fact, you can find websites with entirely different interperetations of Nostradomus' quatrains, and websites that say his "predictions" are too vague to understand.
Also, the wealth of information at our fingertips is likely making us less intelligent. The easier the access to information is, the less we feel we need to remember, so the more we rely on that technology. Before books were easily accessable, people had to memorize the information - books the size of the bible were memorized by people and passed down through families by storytelling and songs. As soon as writing came about, we no longer had to hold all that information in our heads and today it seems like an impossible task... memorizing a book the size of the bible!
Our "amazing" access to technology and information has as much potential to do harm as good, and because humans seem to err on the side of laziness, it's more likely to do harm.

The purpose of these Quatrains is to direct the soul to the higher plain of thinking in which the prediction is no longer a matter of right or wrong, but simply a doorway to understanding time itself.
Then it is not a prediction and calling it prophecy only makes sense because everyone defines "prophecy" differently. To me prophecy and prediction are the same thing except that prophecy is divinely inspired.
At best, the quatrains are musings and postulations without obvious foundations.

You have hit on the mystery of time. If you understand this mystery of God then you will understand the prophecy for that which has been is that which shall be and there is no new thing under the sun.
Real Prophecy covers the past, present and future.
I agree that time moves in cycles, but that does not support Nostradamus' "predictions". He was criticized by other well known astrologers at the time for errors in his horoscopes. He went on to create the "predictions" by using a combination of astrology and already existing prophecy from biblical and other sources.
The man was just trying to make a living, it's not likely it was any more or any less than that.
All that aside, even if Nostradamus' predictions were accurate, why should we assume that your interperetation of them is correct? I am of the belief that each person should interperet these things for themselves, otherwise they risk being mislead by those false prophets we were warned about.
