The Prophecy

"In the seventh month of 1999, a great king of terror will descend."

The prophecy of Nostradamus was revealed in the 122nd Chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga. It forsees the extinction of humanity in July of 1999. It is the most important forshadowed event to date.

Story
We are first told of the prophecies existence by Hirofumi Yoshida who believes Fami to be involved with it in some way. He further reveals that Public Safety made 30 convicts make a contract with the Future Devil under the terms of release from custody. The convicts received the knowledge of the dates of their deaths for an unknown price, it was confirmed that 23 out of the 30 would indeed die in July 1999.

Fami finishes the exposition by revealing that the 7 remaining convicts will die this week and 40 seconds ago a Primal Fear appeared on earth and that devil will be the first of many to cast the world into the abyss of terror.

Origin
The prophecy finds it's orgin in the real world. Nostradamus' original writings were written in archaic French, and is notoriously vague and difficult to translate. As such, there are many translations of this particular prophecy (officially named Quatrain X.72). The following translation comes from the book "The Secrets of Nostradamus" by David Ovason:

"The year one thousand nine hundreds ninety nine seven months''

From the sky will come a great King of alarm

To bring back to life the great King of Angoulmois.

''Before after Mars to reign by good fortune."

Trivia

 * While this line does not appear in the manga, Mars is the Roman god of war. Mars, in this context, is most likely represented by Yoru.
 * The King of Angoulmois in the original prophecy was referring to Ghengis Kahn, as "Angoulmois" is an anagram of "Mongoulians." Whether or not there is a character that parallels this is yet to be seen.
