Japan - the Tsunami, Armageddon and the Warning of 1973

In March 2011, we stood by in horror as we witnessed the devastating Tsunami that hit Japan. Yet while the magnitude of this Tsunami was overwhelming, Japan as a nation is no stranger to the deadly waves and has actually had the most recorded history of Tsunami's in the world. According to records, the number of tsunamis which have occurred in Japan totals 196. Yet, the 2011 disaster was unlike anything Japan or the world had ever seen before. The Vatican knows the area affected by this disaster very well because in 1973 a series of supernatural messages arrived at what would be the Quake of 2011’s epicenter. Thus began a series of investigations by the Holy See.

Today, Our Lady of Akita is the title of Marian apparitions reported in 1973. What was unusual about the nature of these apparitions compared to others such as Lourdes is that the entire nation of Japan watched live on television as a statue of the Virgin Mary shed real tears. The Blessed Mother also warned of a looming disaster for Japan and the world. The Vatican took these sightings extremely seriously and it was none other than Pope Benedict who as Cardinal granted their authenticity. Whether or not you believe in apparitions the story of what happened at Akita in 1973 defies human explanation. Additionally, if you are wondering where our world is heading the only real answer seems to be Heaven knows!
