The Origins of Prophetic Warnings

Historical figures, including Elspeth Eberton in 1924, predicted the rise of Adolf Hitler based on their interpretations of astrological charts. These predictions often outlined a dark future, warning of his potential to lead Germany towards devastation. Nostradamus and other seers from centuries prior also described ominous events linked to Western Europe, hinting at a tyrannical figure emerging from poverty to dominate the region. These prophecies drew parallels between past societal tensions and the imminent rise of political turmoil, creating a chilling prelude to the catastrophic events of World War II.
