On March 11 at 2:46pm JST, a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred near the northeastern coast of Japan, creating extremely destructive tsunami waves which have caused extensive and severe damage leaving thousands of people confirmed dead, injured or missing, and millions more affected by lack of electricity, water and transportation. But there is a bigger problem that the Japanese are facing right now, and that is the destruction of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant's main power source and several back-up systems. With the nuclear plant losing it's cooling systems, there is an impending meltdown that is threatening not just Japan but the whole world. Dangerous amounts of radiation released into the air by the burning fuel rods can reach as far as North America according to the experts from the United Nations (UN) Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). Radioactive particles that get caught up in the jet stream and will travel the world over will end up contaminating crops and grazing field, threatening the world food supply.
Before the deadly earthquake hit Japan, popular uprisings were spreading in the Middle East which started in Egypt and Tunisia. Fierce demonstrations erupted also in Libya, Bahrain, Iran...all the way to North Africa. This has forced my fellow Filipinos to go back home and abandon their jobs due to the violent situation in the Middle East.
With all these happenings in the world, I cannot help but wonder about them being signs of the Warning that is to come. Many non-Christians and even Christians are not aware of the Warning that was given by Our Lady at Garabandal and Medjugorje. Below is a backgrounder on what The Warning is all about.
~ o ~
According to the booklet The Warning by Father Philip Bebie, C.P.:
A great struggle between good and evil is going on. Pope Paul VI did not hesitate to call it "apocalyptic." The ultimate result of this struggle was told to us specifically at Fatima: There will be a triumph of love...a triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. "Russia will be converted and an era of peace will be granted to mankind."
Before that triumph we may have a terrible chastisement in which "several entire nations will be annihilated." According to Garabandal, Medjugorje, etc., to make it possible for the world to avoid that chastisement the Queen of Peace has obtained for us THE WARNING.
Holy prophets (Saint Edmund Campion, Blessed Anna Maria Taigi) predicted this same warning at the very beginning of the historical religious catastrophes: The Reformation conflicts (Saint Edmund Campion} and the rise of Marxism (Blessed Anna Maria) which have brought our world to its present state of estrangement from God.
At the time of the publication of this book in 1986 Father Bebie (who wrote this in 1981-82) was suffering the final stages of a terminal cancer, which, to the surprise of his doctors and most of all to himself, had not yet taken his life. He had previously entrusted the manuscript to a friend to be published when} the warning occurred. During a "good-bye" visit early in 1986...shortly after he had returned from a hospital intensive care unit, it was decided that publication after the warning might be ineffective. It might be too late for people to know the importance of what had just happened to them...and to the world!
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS WARNING CANNOT BE EXAGGERATED.
It will be an act of God...an act of His Mercy. Whether the world will avoid annihilation of several entire nations will depend on how each of us reacts to this act of His Mercy.
At a time when the world has lost its sense of sin, we will suddenly see ourselves as God sees us. We will recognize our sins.
IF WE REJECT THIS ACT OF MERCY...if we then persist in our sins...will we not deserve to see the whole world purged with fire...or by whatever purging Divine Justice may elect?
It is possible that many will reject the warning out of ignorance.
That is why it seemed both prudent and advisable to make this book available in advance, entrusting to those who receive it, the responsibility of communicating with newspapers, television, radio, Church leaders, government officials, in a word, to all who will be able to inform the greatest number of people just what the warning means as soon as it happens.
It may be a year away. It may happen tomorrow. There are many indications that it will come soon.
NOTE: Father Bebie died in 1986, when at the very time this little book (written by him in 1981) was being printed.
Blessed Anna Maria Taigi spoke of a great chastisement which would come to the world before which there would be an illumination of the conscience of men by which suddenly everyone would see themselves as God sees them. She indicated that this illumination of conscience would result in the saving of many souls because many would repent as a result of this "Warning"...this miracle of "self illumination".
Beatified in 1920 as a model of women and mothers. Anna Maria Taigi was not only a prophetess of our time, but one of the most extraordinary mystics in the history of the Church.
From the time she was 20 years old, until she died at the age of 63, the Beata was accompanied by a mysterious light in which she saw past, present, and future events ...some relating to struggles among nations: some relating to individual souls.
Blessed Anna Maria gazed into that light only when she felt an interior impulse ...a sort of direction from Our Lord and the Holy Spirit ...to do so. And usually when she looked into the light she was asked to offer some special suffering for a special need in the Church or in an individual.
In that light Anna Maria saw a great chastisement coming upon the world in the future ...but at the same time a great blessing: The "Warning" which would be an illumination of the consciences of men, just as though suddenly every man was given the same kind of light that accompanied her...to which they would see themselves as God sees them.
It is interesting that 300 years before Blessed Anna Maria this same revelation was given to St. Edmund Campion. who went to his death affirming this same prophecy.
One is put in mind of the prophecies of the Old Testament...some of which were close to the time of Our Lord, and some of which were hundreds of years before. And no one ever knew with any exactitude when those prophecies would be fulfilled.
But we now have cogent reasons to believe that this prophecy of the warning and the chastisement ...which we have heard from the lips of various good persons and canonized saints...will take place very soon, for we recall that St. John Bosco, an authentic prophet of our time, was told by Our Lady that She would obtain a victory for Christianity before the year 2000 which would be greater even than the victory of Lepanto (which in 1571 was a turning point in the history of the world over seemingly hopeless odds).
Father Philip Bebie, a Passionist priest who became nationally celebrated for his book "Proclaim Her Name" (AMI. Press) was a founding member of a Passionist House of Solitude and was Administrator of the first two Charismatic Priests' conferences in Steubenville, Ohio (1975-76). He then preached Parish Missions until his sickness (1983).
The year 1985 was the jubilee (25 years) year of his priesthood. During this recent time of grace Father Philip became convinced that the foretold warning (and at the same time great miracle of grace) would find most people unprepared. He felt a need to explain the Garabandal prophecies so that when the world experienced the illumination of conscience people would better know what it meant and be prepared for the Great Miracle.
Father Philip began this book in October of 1981 and completed it January 1st, 1982. He did not intend that it should be published until after the Warning took place. But he shared the manuscript with a few friends. One of them allowed Father Philip himself to set the manuscript into print so that it would be ready for immediate printing and distribution when The Warning occurred.
Four years later, Father Philip himself was dying of an advanced state of cancer of the liver. And while constantly thinking of his imminent death, he also began to sense the possibility that he himself might still be alive to experience the Warning and the great Miracle that is to follow. It then occurred to some of his friends that since the predicted time between the Warning and the Miracle would be less than a year, it might be best to have some copies of this book printed in advance and in the hands of at least some people in different parts of the world so that it would be more readily available if and when these prophecies are actually realized.
It must be borne in mind that this book is intended to be published generally only after the Warning. For that reason it reads as though the miracle of illumination of conscience had already been experienced by the reader. Even if read before the Warning we believe it will be of deep interest and edification for all who read it.

To add to my speculation, I received an email a few days ago with the subject:

Regardless of whatever Creed or Religion, it is better to be prepared and be in good terms with GOD Who created us; for we never know when we will be leaving this world.....
LAST SECRET OF FATIMA
The Church has given permission to reveal to the people the last part of the message. The Blessed Virgin appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917, this is a proven fact;one of these children was Lucia, (died 2-13-05).
She was a cloistered nun, and lived in a monastery in Portugal. Lucia disclosed the message for the first time; to Pope Pius Xll who, after reading, sealed it and stored it away without making it public. Later Pope John XXIII read it and, in the same manner as his predecessor, he kept it out of the public eye because he knew that once revealed; it would bring desperation and panic to mankind.
But now the time has come, and permission has been granted from Pope John Paul II to reveal it to the children of God; not to create panic, but to make God's people aware of this important message and be prepared.
The Virgin told Lucia:
'Go, my child, and tell the world what will come to pass during the 1950's - 2000's. Men are not practicing the Commandments that God has given us. Evil is governing the world and is harvesting hate and resentment all over. Men will fabricate mortal weapons that will destroy the world in minutes!...where half of the human race will be destroyed. The war will begin against Rome , and there will be conflicts amongst religious orders.
God will allow all natural phenomena like smoke, hail, cold, water, fire, floods, earthquakes, winds and inclement weather to slowly batter the planet.
These happenings will come to pass before the year 2012! "For those who don't/won't believe...this is the time...Your beloved mother told you -
...those lacking charity towards others, in words & deeds and those who do not love their neighbour like my beloved Son has loved you all...cannot survive! They will wish to have died.
God will punish severely those who do not believe in Him, those who despise Him and those who did not have time for Him."
'I call upon all of you to come to my son Jesus Christ. God will help the world, but all of those who do not show fidelity and loyalty will be destroyed!'
Father Agustin, who lives in Fatima, said that Pope Paul VI gave him permission to visit Sister Lucia, a cloistered nun (she did not leave the monastery nor was allowed to receive any visitors). Father Agustin said that she received him greatly overwhelmed and told him:
'Father, Our Lady is very sad because nobody is interested in her prophecy of 1917, though the righteous are walking through a narrow path, the evil ones are walking through an ample road that is leading them straight to their destruction! Believe me, Father, the punishment will come very soon. Many souls will be lost and many nations will disappear from the earth'.
But, in the middle of all these, if men reflect, pray and practice sincerity, good deeds, kindness and respect, the world can be saved. However, if men persist with evil ways...greed, hatred, selfish acts, rivalry and strife, the world will be lost forever! The time has come for all to pass on the message of our Blessed Lady to their families, friends, and to the entire world.
Continue praying, make penitence and sacrifices. We are close to the last minute of the last day and the catastrophes are near. Due to this, many that were far from the Church will return to the open arms of the Church of Jesus Christ.
The joining of the churches will result in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. England , Russia , China , Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, Protestants, etc. All will return believing and worshipping God our Creator, in His beloved Son and in Blessed Mother Virgin Mary.'
WHAT AWAITS US?
Everywhere there will be 'Peace Talks', but punishment will come.
A MAN IN A VERY IMPORTANT POSITION WILL BE ASSASSINATED AND THIS WILL PROVOKE THE WAR. A POWERFUL ARMY WILL DOMINATE ALL THROUGH EUROPE AND THE NUCLEAR WAR WILL COMMENCE.
This war will destroy everything; darkness will fall over us for 72 hours (3 days) and the one third of humanity that survives this obscurity and sacrifice, will commence to live a new era; they will be good people.
On a very cold night, 10 minutes before midnight, A GREAT QUAKE will shake the earth for 8 hours. This will be the third signal that God Is, Who governs the earth.
The righteous and those who propagate the faith and the message of the Lady of Fatima is : 'ONE SHOULD NOT FEAR, DO NOT BE AFRAID'.
WHAT TO DO?
Bow your heads, kneel down and ask God for forgiveness. Because, only what is good and is not under the power of evil will survive the catastrophe. In order for you to prepare and remain alive and safe, I will give you the following signs:
ANGUISH...AND IN A SHORT PERIOD THE EARTHQUAKE WILL COMMENCE...THE EARTH WILL SHAKE.....
The shake will be so violent that will move the earth 23 degrees and then it will return it to its normal position. Then, total and absolute darkness will cover the entire planet. All the evil spirits will be mingling around and free, doing harm to all those souls that did not want to listen to this message and those who did not want to repent.
To the faithful souls, remember to light the blessed candles, prepare a sacred altar with a crucifix in order to communicate with GOD and implore for His infinite mercy.
All will be dark; and IN THE SKY A GREAT MYSTIC CROSS will appear to remind us the price that his beloved Son had to pay for our redemption.
In the house the only thing that can give light will be the HOLY CANDLES. Once lit, nothing will put them off until the three days of darkness are over. Also, you should have holy water that should be sprinkled abundantly on windows and doors. The Lord will protect the property of the chosen ones. Kneel down before the powerful cross of my beloved Son, pray the Rosary and after each Hail Mary you must pray the following:
'Oh God forgive us our sins, preserve us from the fires of hell, take all souls to heaven, especially those who are in more need of thy mercy. Blessed Virgin Mary, protect us, we love you, save us and save the world'.
Pray 5 Creeds and the Rosary which is the secret to my Immaculate Heart. All those who believe in my words go and take the message to everyone.
DO NOT FEAR! FEAR NOTHING DURING THE LORD'S GREAT DAY. Talk to all, now that there is time. Those who keep quiet will be responsible for all those souls who will perish in ignorance. All those who pray humbly the rosary will have the protection of heaven. Those who are bound to die, I will help them die in peace, and they will be holy when they enter the other world.
I wish all my children to attend mass every first Friday and every first Saturday of each month; to confess and receive Holy Communion; and in doing so, save the world from its TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
When the earth shakes no more, those who still do not believe in our Lord will perish in a horrible way-
The wind will bring gas and it will disperse it everywhere, then the sun will rise.
Maybe you will survive this catastrophe. Do not forget that God's punishment is holy and ONCE IT HAS STARTED YOU SHOULD NOT LOOK OUTSIDE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! GOD DOES NOT WANT ANY OF HIS GOOD CHILDREN TO SEE WHEN HE PUNISHES THE SINNERS.
All this encompasses with the writings of the Holy Scriptures. Read on the New Testament: Lucas 21- 5:121, 12:19, 20:20, 29:33; Letters of St Paul 3 - 8 - 14 Isaiah 40, 1:5:9.
You must understand that God allows all this to happen. The Pope and Bishops are now awaiting another message that speaks about repentance and prayer. Please remember that God's words are not a threat, but good news.
Please reproduce these pages and send them to all you know so we all can have the opportunity to repent and be saved.
We do not know if those receiving this message believe or not in GOD, but just think that, if you are receiving this message it is for a good reason from God Who created us and loves us so much!
Our Creator is giving us the chance to be saved, no matter what religion or creed we may be. If you don't believe in this message, at least send it to others, it costs you nothing.
To all those receiving it, they can have the opportunity to judge and decide for themselves. Remember, we can avoid a great deal of evil if we practice the
Commandments that Our Loving Father God gave us. Just 10 simple ways, that if we all put into practice we can obtain God's pardon. Amen.

All the skeptics out there would surely think I am losing my mind for believing in eschatology (study of the end of times). But I believe in the Bible and I feel that it wouldn't hurt to be prepared for the end, may it be of my own life or of the world. It surely bothers me what the world is coming into. The price of man's greed and arrogance is very costly and we are currently experiencing the consequences of our actions.
Yesterday the world has experienced a Supermoon in after 20 years. This phenomenon is making me a bit nervous even if I am not superstitious. It has been known throughout history that the moon has influenced powerful floods and earthquakes and even human behaviour. But whatever is in store for us in the following days, I have a feeling the world will never be the same again.
At the moment, Libya is under attack by US allies. Could this be another sign of the looming apocalypse? I cannot assume that at this point. But all I can do and suggest to you my dear reader is to heed the call of Our Lady, to make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. We must lead good lives. If we do not, a chastisement will befall us. The cup is already filling up, and if we do not change, a very great chastisement will come upon us.
