Luther and Nostradamus

Did Luther (like the alleged predictions of Nostradamus) in this text anticipate and name a combination of several groups of 21st century radicals? e.g., Eco-PETA-Manichaean's?

AELW 5:344

"In his Confessions Augustine reports that the Manichaeans inveighed against the very saintly patriarchs with the most virulent reproaches for having many wives and children. “When I was a Manichaean,” he says, “I derided them as completely lustful men. But you in turn, dear Manichaean, derided me when I devoted myself to your prodigious nonsense, so that when plucking an apple or a pear from a tree I believed that the tree wept.”
