In 1555 France, an aging Michel de Nostradamus reads aloud a letter he has written to his sleeping young son, intended to be read when the boy is older and Nostradamus has passed. He explains his concerns about writing down his prophecies, and the reason he has decided to do so. Next, the prophetical writings of Nostradamus are compared to numerous actual historical events during the French Revolution as examples of the accuracy of his predictions. Finally, a Nostradamus prophecy about a period of peace is offered as a possible outlook for contemporary America.
