Prophecies of Nostradamus: Why did Nostradamus write about the resurrection of the dead?

The year seven of the great number being past,

There shall be seen the sports of the ghostly sacrifice,

Not far from the great age of the millennium, [Year 2000]

That the buried shall come out of their graves

Nostradamians pick the years 2000, 2007, or even 7000 for the dead to rise from their graves. Biblical literature points to a minimum of three distinct resurrections. The initial resurrection includes all dead Christians and the taking away of living Christians.

"The Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air." (1 Thess. 4:16-17).

A second resurrection occurs at the end of the seven year tribulation and includes only believers in Christ who died for their faith during the tribulation.⁽²⁾

"I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended)." (Rev. 20:4-5).

Finally, the Bible teaches about a third resurrection at the end of the millennium. It is the resurrection of the damned as recorded in Revelation 20:11-15.

Nostradamus' quatrain about the resurrection appears to speak about the initial two distinct resurrections which may occur approximately seven years apart based on the year of the millennium

The subsequent result of this taking away of believers will be the supernatural advent of the false messiah.⁽³⁾ A time of seven years will pass and end with the second coming of Christ to planet earth. At that time, those who died for their faith during the tribulation as noted by Revelation 20:4-5, will be resurrected to reign with Christ for a thousand years.
