You are so right. I had a neighbor who was "converted" at Medjugorje. She became involved with a national group of visionaries who also claim to be receiving messages from the BVM. Carol Ameche's name immediately comes to mind.
As Y2K drew closer, she started talking about black helicopters and UN plans to grab property. They were all waiting (and still are) for The Warning. It was like an obsession.
I have not heard anything about Mother Teresa's supposed apparition, not have I been able to find any information at other web sites.
Apocalypse 13:13 "Woe betide that team that trades the Babe."
And if the end comes before the Cubs win another WS, I'll still be happy.
Sounds like a UFO invasion to me.
5 years after Mother Teresa's death (September 2002) 1st Horseman would bring plague that kills millions
1st Seal - White Horse, rider with bow & crown went forth conquering (Rev 6:1-2)2003, 2nd horseman brings war with millions of victims
2nd Seal - Red Horse, rider given power to take peace from the earth, [people] slay each other, and rider given a great sword (Rev 6:3-4)Fourth horseman is bring shining light that represents God3rd Seal - Black Horse, rider brings famine (Rev 6:5-6)
4th Seal - Pale Horse, rider is Death, Hades follows, they together kill 1/4 of the earth by sword, hunger, death, and beasts (Rev 6:7-8a)The timing could fit. This summer, the "Madrid Quartet" (US, Russia, EU, UN) had planned to enact a Mideast Peace plan between Israel and the PLO which could be a false peace. If it is the False Peace which begins the 7 year tribulation, then the 1st Seal could be opened thereafter (Sept?) and a mideast war, possibly with weapons of mass destruction, in full swing by 2003.
However:
The 1st seal/horseman should not seem to bear a plague, and most significant is the 4th Horseman is not God, and on that basis I would tend to discount all of it.
As Polycarp notes, only the Father knows the time of the Son's return, but we are told for what signs of the end of the age we are to watch (and many do seem to be budding), so we should stay watchful, and keep our lamps filled.
The fourth horse according to your post is " but the fourth was a brilliant shining light. Mother Theresa apparently revealed that it represented God, " Yet according to Revelation 6:7&8 the fourth horse is in no way the Lord And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
I would have to say that whoever made this up, while maybe a Roman Catholic priest, certainly has very little knowledge of the word of God.
