Amore A Prima Svista Italy Earthquakes
Popular Christian author Nancy Leigh DeMoss said the following on:One hundred years ago Messina was a prosperous, gorgeous coastal city on the Italian island of Sicily, just off the toe of the boot there. This city of Messina had a population of about 150,000, but it had become a wicked and irreligious city. On Christmas day of 1908, a local newspaper in Messina published a blasphemous parody against God. In that article they dared God to make Himself known by sending an earthquake.Exactly three days later, December the 28th, 1908, at 5:30 in the morning, a huge earthquake and a massive tidal wave came and utterly destroyed Messina and dozens of nearby towns.The newspaper is not named and I find mention of this only in other sermon-related sites.
Is there any historical evidence for this claim and its timing relative to the earthquake?The timing of the earthquake itself is clear from history, but on this newspaper article I've found nothing yet.
