Prophecies of Nostradamus, the Third Antichrist at the time of a Comet

Mabus will soon die, then will come

A horrible slaughter of people and animals,

At once vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred lands.

Thirst, and famine when the comet will pass.

Nostradamians believe this quatrain foretells of the third antichrist, who Nostradamus calls "Mabus." Nostradamians also teach that Adolph Hitler was foretold by the name Hister, an ancient Latin name for the Danube River. Does the name Mabus contain a dire message for the 20th and 21st centuries?

I find this quatrain intriguing since it speaks of a comet at the time of the antichrist. According to this quatrain, the antichrist will be alive when the comet passes by planet earth. The book of Revelation also foretells of comets at the time of the antichrist.

"The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed." (Rev. 8:8-9).

Is the earth on a collision course with a comet? Scientists have discovered that there were three close calls in 1989 between planet earth and uncharted asteroids. The recent fireworks on Jupiter from Shoemaker-Levy 9 also show the cataclysmic nature of such a collision(2).
