Lightning doesn't strike twice. Or does it?
Various Italian news sources reported Sunday that a mild earthquake had struck Rome and surrounding areas, including Castel Gandolfo, the former pope's temporary home.
According to the Agence France-Presse, the earthquake had a local magnitude of 2.5and was felt in Rome, Ciapino, Marino and Castel Gandolfo.
Then, as now, some people speculated as to whether the act of nature was really a divine message. On Sunday, Italia Domani asked whether the earthquake wasn't a sign for the cardinals who will soon be choosing a new pope.
Castel Gandolfo, a small town a few miles outside Rome, has been a longtime summer retreat for pontiffs, reports NBC News. In July 2012, a 3.6-magnitude, 6-mile-deep tremor was felt by then-Pope Benedict while he was vacationing at the retreat, according to the National Catholic Register

So, let me ask, what exactly do you think it means? Do you think there is any significance to it?

It was very funny it happened on the same day as the Pope though.

Now why would the Queen of England be arriving in Rome at the same time as all the Cardinals from around the world ....
"In the year seventy-three [2012 / 2013] the kings of the world will assemble in the great city of Rome, and the Holy One will shower on them fire and hail and meteoric stones until they are all destroyed, with the exception of those who will not yet have arrived there."

Well could it have something to do with the 700 yr old prophecy in the Zohar about the coming of the Mashiach (Messiah)?

It was in that book you threw out by Tom Horn: "Petrus Romanus; The Final Pope is Here".
I know you didn't care for what he said about the Marian Prophecies, but that was only a small part of the whole book. "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water" so to speak. As I said before, the book was full of great resources and even if you do not agree with some points, there are a lot more that you may have agreed with.
I personally don't believe or disbelieve anything. I do however, observe everything that I come upon and wait to see how it fits in the grand puzzle. If the piece fits then I look to see how many other pieces fit with it, if it doesn't then I put it off to the side (not throw it out), for I never know if one day I may need it.
Edit: This post was meant to be an edit to my post above instead of a new post, just in case it confused some readers.

As a reminder to those who thought the account related in the Passover Haggadah might have been an exaggeration – think again. Millions of locusts have swooped down in a swarm from the sky on to the land of Egypt.
The locust plague struck over the weekend in the Giza region, home to a cluster of famous pyramids, according to reports in Arab media.
Officials estimated that at least 30 million of the insects have swarmed on to the fields and farms about 15 miles southwest of Cairo. The locust swarm is causing massive damage to agriculture in the area, Alwatan News reported.
