Question: "Was Nostradamus a true prophet of The Lord?"

Answer: Nostradamus was a French pharmacist who was born in the year 1503 and died on July 2, 1566. Nostradamus has been credited by some with prophetic writings that have supposedly predicted modern events ranging from Hitler's rise in Germany to the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. But did Nostradamus really predict any of these events? To answer that question, it is necessary to examine first what it means to speak or write prophecy.
Prophecy can be divided into two categories. First, speaking forth the Word of The Lord (the Bible) into the lives of people that they would be edified, exhorted, and comforted (1 Corinthians 14:3). In other words, prophecy is sharing applicable Scripture verses with someone, in order to draw him closer to Yeshua (edify), to encourage proper behavior (exhort), or to give assurance of the Lord's faithfulness, control and help in any situation (comfort).
Second, prophecy is foretelling future events before they happen with specificity and with 100 percent accuracy. If the prophesied event does not happen, then it was not a true prophecy. "If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him" (Deuteronomy 18:22). The Bible also says in Deuteronomy 13:1-3 that even if what a prophet says comes true, if he does not lead others to worship the one true God, then he is still a false prophet based upon that alone.
Nostradamus was certainly not a prophet by the first definition. But it is asserted by some that he was a prophet who foretold future events. But did he? Prophecies, in order to be verified, must be specific and detailed enough to be undeniably true. For example, in the Bible, a Messianic prophecy about Yeshua the Messiah being nailed by His hands and feet is found in Psalm 22:16, where it prophetically states that "they have pierced my hands and my feet." That was written at a time when crucifixion was not a method of execution in Israel. But that is exactly how Yeshua died. There are specific details that are clear and correlate to the fulfillment. There are hundreds and hundreds of such detailed prophecies about Yeshua´s first advent, all of which came true.
But Nostradamus did not have this kind of detail in his prophecies. For example, this prophecy of Nostradamus is believed by some to foretell the 9/11 attacks:
"In the year of the new century and nine months, From the sky will come a great King of Terror. The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city."
The problems with this “prophecy” are numerous. First, statements in different writings from Nostradamus had to be compiled to create this four-statement section. Second, who is the King of Terror coming from the sky, and how does that relate to the airplanes that flew into the buildings? Third, how does the sky burning at forty-five degrees relate to the burning of buildings? Finally, in no way can New York City be described as a “new city” in 2001. It is, in fact, one of the oldest cities in the country.
The extreme vagueness of the prediction, coupled with the application to things that aren't clearly being spoken of, is called "retroactive clairvoyance." This is when something written beforehand needs to be changed and the modern event squeezed into a very vague and unspecific statement. Nostradamus' prophecies all fit into this category. Finally, whether Nostradamus actually wrote them or whether they were written after his death is still very much in question.
As Christians, we cannot trust what is spoken of in the writings of Nostradamus. Furthermore, why would we want to, especially knowing that we have a sure word of prophecy in the Bible (2 Peter 1:19) and that the testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10)? The Bible's prophecies will never fail, and we are to recognize only the inspired Word of The Lord as our sure source of prophecy.

Europe's best low-cost airline is invading America, and its US rivals should be afraid.

Boeing 737 800 Norwegian Air.

Norwegian Air has been named the best low-cost airline in Europe for the fourth consecutive year by the leading consumer-aviation website Skytrax.

The airline also took home the prize for best long-haul low-cost airline in the world.

Norwegian was presented with the awards at a ceremony on Tuesday at the 2016 Farnborough Airshow.

"We believe that not only should air travel be affordable to all but also that low cost can still mean high quality," Norwegian CEO Bjørn Kjos said in a statement.

"These awards give us huge momentum as we continue our ambitious expansion plans in Europe, the US, and beyond."

Norwegian is certainly making its presence felt.

The expansion of the company's Norwegian Air International subsidiary into the US has ruffled feathers. It's a potentially industry-changing move that US airlines and unions have vigorously opposed.

The US airlines are objecting on the grounds that NAI could exploit foreign labor laws, but in truth they should be worried about the kind of international network the carrier is attempting to create.

(Norwegian Air CEO Bjørn Kjos in the cockpit of a Boeing 787.Norwegian).In April the US Department of Transportation tentatively approved the Irish — yes, Irish —airline's application to fly into the US.

You may be wondering why an airline called "Norwegian" would be based in Ireland. That's the root of the issue.

NAI is one of several subsidiaries operating under the Norwegian banner. Unlike the rest of the company, including Norwegian Air Shuttle, NAI is based in Dublin instead of in Norway.

This, critics say, allows NAI to take advantage of Ireland's employment laws, which are significantly less stringent than Norway's. As a result, they say, NAI could hire lower-cost pilots and crew members from Asia to fly transatlantic routes. (The company says its current service to the US is operated by NAS with Europe-based crews.)

AFL-CIO Transportation president Edward Wytkind referred to the DOT's decision as one to "green-light this low-road air carrier whose operating plan will destroy fair competition and extinguish middle-class airline jobs here and in Europe."

But NAI says none of its Asia-based crews will operate flights into and out of the US. Further, the pay differential between the airline's Asia- and Europe-based pilots is roughly 1%, Norwegian Air spokesman Anders Lindstrom told Business Insider.

And all this complaining about NAI is happening even though it is tiny, with a fleet of just 10 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. The major US airlines and their European alliance partners have more than 1,000 wide-body long-haul jets at their disposal and are responsible for more than 80% of the traffic across the Atlantic.

Here's why Norwegian is scary.

Here's the real problem for US airlines: Norwegian is going to expand rapidly and in a way that eats at the foundation of the hub-based system that major US airlines depend on for survival.
How? By offering direct flights to smaller cities in the US from underserved cities in Northern Europe.

In practice, this means passengers in Hartford, Connecticut, or Providence, Rhode Island, no longer have to fly to Boston or New York for an international trip. Instead, for a far lower cost than a US carrier, they might fly NAI to Oslo, Norway; Stockholm; or Hamburg, Germany. Later this year, Norwegian is launching service to Paris from New York, Los Angeles, and Fort Lauderdale.
