Earthquake Premonitions

I received some emails telling that there will be earthquakes in Manila sometime 2nd to 3rd week of April 2005. It is really scary that I volunteered my daughter to have 2 weeks vacation in Laguna to get her away from Manila. Today is just her first week in Laguna and I really miss her so much. I usually don't believe in premonitions because I believe that only God knows what the future is. I made some researches and it matches some of premonitions listed. Please let us pray that this wont happen. If so, may we all survive this tragedy.

Below are the copies of the emails:

HI FRIENDS!
I WLD LIKE TO SHARE WITH U A MESSAGE THAT WAS SHARED TO ME. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO RELATE IT TO U ALL AND HOW I GOT INVOLVED WITH WHAT I'M DOING NOW. BUT I HOPE THAT U WLD TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY.
ABT 3 WEEKS AGO, I RECEIVED A TEXT MSG FROM A CLASSMATE FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL ASKING ME TO PRAY EARNESTLY AND TO PASS ON A MESSAGE THAT WARNED A FORTHCOMING DISASTER SO DEVASTATING THAT WILL DESTROY HALF OF MANILA AND QUEZON CITY. I THOUGHT OF IT AS A PRANK MESSAGE THAT WILL MAKE THE TELECOM COMPANIES EARN MILLIONS FROM THIS TEXT MESSAGE. SO INSTEAD OF PASSING IT TO FRIENDS, I DELETED IT AND FORGOT ALL ABT IT.
2 WEEKS AFTER THAT, A FRIEND OF MINE CAME TO SEE ME AT MY CLINIC. THOUGHT SHE BROUGHT HER DAUGHTER FOR A CONSULTATION, I FOUND OUT THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEN WE GOT INTO A CONVERSATION. IT WAS HERE THAT SHE MENTIONED TO ME THAT A FRIEND OF HERS WITH A PSYCHIC POWER INFORMED HER OF A FORTHCOMING DISASTER THAT WILL GREATLY AFFECT MANILA AND QUEZON CITY. THIS PERSON SAW THE EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN BEFORE IT HAPPENED. MY FRIEND KNEW THAT I RESIDE IN MANILA SO SHE WARNED ME TO LEAVE MANILA SOMETIME BETWEEN THE 2ND TO 3RD WEEK OF APRIL. SHE SAID WATER WILL DESTROY THE CITY AND WILL DAMAGE THE FUEL DEPO IN MANILA THAT WILL EVENTUALLY CREATE A SEA OF FIRE. SO MANY LIVES WILL BE AT STAKE. BEFORE SHE LEFT, SHE TOLD ME TAKE THE MATTER VERY SERIOUSLY. THAT WAS THE TIME THAT I RECALLED THE TEXT MSG SENT TO ME WEEKS BEFORE. SHE TOLD ME THAT IT WILL TAKE ABT 2-3 DAYS BEFORE THE WATER THAT WILL FLOOD MANILA RECEDES. SHE PROMISED THAT WHEN THE VISION BECOMES CLEARER, SHE WILL IN FORM ME.
THIS MORNING (3APR05), THE DAY THAT POPE DIED SHE SENT ME A TEXT MSG TO REMIND ME OF WHAT SHE SAID. THE DIASATER WILL HAPPEN FEW DAYS AFTER APR 15. IT WILL BE INITIATED BY AN EARTHQUAKE. FEW MINUTES AFTER I FORWARDED THE MSG, I LEARNED THAT MANILA WAS ROCKED BY A MILD EARTHQUAKE (I WAS IN LA UNION IN THE MORNING). I WAS TOLD TO PRAY MORE SO THAT WE MAY TRY TO MEDIATE THAT THE IMPENDING DISASTER BE PREVENTED IF POSSIBLE.
THIS MOMENT, 2142H, 03APR05, I WRITE THIS MAIL TO INFORM U THAT U PLEASE INFORM UR LOVED ONES IN THE AREA TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SAVE THEMSELVES. I HAVE ALREADY MOVED MY CHILDREN TO LA UNION LAST NIGHT FOR SAFETY. I HAD TALKED TO SOME FRIENDS ABT IT AND SOME HAVE TOLD ME THAT FEW PSYCHIC FRIENDS OF THEIRS HAVE TOLD THEM A SIMILAR STORY. ONE FRIEND TOLD ME THAT THE EARTHQUAKE WLD MOVE SOME LAND FURTHER INTO MANILA BAY. THE MARIKINA TRENCH MAY BE INVOLVED THIS TIME...ALL I ASK IS FOR ALL OF U TO TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS...PLS SAVE MUCH WATER AND FOOD AS I WAS ADVISED...I'M MOVING OUT AND GOING TO THE PROVINCE BEFORE THE 15TH...NO HARM IN FOLLOWING A FRIENDLY ADVICE AND HOPE U GUYS DO THE SAME....THAT WILL GIVE ME A WEEK MORE OF THE NEEDED VACATION....
KIDDING ASIDE, HOPE I DID MY PART OF INFORMING U THE WARNING THAT WAS SHARED TO ME. LET'S ALL HOPE THAT IT WILL BE AVERTED. BUT ONLY GOD KNOWS THE PURPOSE WHY IT HAS TO HAPPEN.
PLS TAKE CARE AND MAY THE GOOD LORD BE WITH U ALL!!!!

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all okey and doing well in your job,
career, etc.
Anyway, yesterday, my friend texted me with a
message that there is this healing nun who was told by
a visionary that an earthquake will hit Metro Manila
in 2005. The earthquake will originate in Quezon City
and portion of Manila will slide into the Manila Bay.
The text was so scary that I decided to make a
research first before I even sent it to friends. I
searched through Googles.com and found this article in
inq7.net:
http://news.inq7.net/sunday/index.php?index=2&story_id=29588&col=85
"MYSTERY
While people have come for the healing, there is
another mystery that Sister Raquel is anxious to make
known. And it is a frightening scenario revealed to
seven "visionaries" who are in touch with her, she
says. One of them, a French woman, has joined a lay
monastic community, the nun adds.
What makes the vision particularly scary is that it
isn't the first that the visionary has revealed. Three
months before the deadly tsunami struck and killed
280,000 people across Asia and parts of Africa on
December 26 last year, Sister Raquel was approached by
a visionary who said, "I see ocean waters rising,
rising, rising. Around 2004 to 2005, it will hit many
countries and sow much destruction." The nun did not
keep the prediction to herself, but the information
failed to fly.
It was only after disaster struck that it was given
some attention, says Bernardo Lopez, a freelance
journalist who writes a column for a business paper.
"It was too late," he rues. "It was hindsight, not
foresight. And foresight is the essence of
prophecies." Lopez is writing a book and doing video documentaries on Sister Raquel and her healing ministry.
*****
In December 2004, just around the time the tsunami
struck, someone came to tell Sister Raquel that "a
series of massive earthquakes will hit Metro Manila in
2005." The nun's exact words: "This will originate in
Quezon City and a portion of Manila will slide into
Manila Bay." She also speaks of movements of the earth
in the Pacific, Atlantic, China, the Indian Ocean.
*****
Terrified? These need not happen, Sister Raquel says,
if people change their ways and seek the way of God
through prayer, repentance and good works. In other
words, God can change His mind.
If the dire prediction does not come to pass, she
could very well end up being ridiculed by the world.
But that's fine with her, says Sister Raquel. She is
ready to face humiliation and be called a charlatan,
she says, citing the case of Jonah (the prophet who
was swallowed by the whale and survived to tell the
tale) in the Old Testament of the Bible. God held back
his wrath on Nineveh when he saw the people repent.
Jonah, who had warned the people, ended up looking
like a fool."
When I told this to my officemates, they said that
recently, snakes are found in Quezon City. It is also
in the news that certain animails in China are now
going up the mountain.
These are information that I want to share with
you. You may send it to your loved ones or ignore my
letter. But if you don't doubt my email, I hope you
can help me spread this information so that many
people will be informed and change their offensive
attitude.
Thank you very much for giving time to my letter.
I hope to hear from you through prayers! God bless!
Sincerely, Lourdes
