Doesn't the bible say he will come with a shout? The other poster made a good point about how he appeared in the flesh.

The bible says where two or three are gathered in his name, he is among them. That is good enough for me. Anything else just opens us up to deception. I don't think he would wear black and white either, although the symbolism is interesting for those who see things as either black or white (as I like to do).

I have a little booklet called "Testing the Spirit" by Rick Salbato, who himself was deceived by false seers, concerning the apparitions in Betania, Venezuela.

On page 3, he writes, "Maria Esperanza is not of God. The church, meaning the local bishop who is the sole authority appointed by God, approved the apparitions of Our Lady to the people and the Eucharistic miracle as being supernatural, meaning "From God". The Church did not investigate Maria Esperanza. Her claims of messages came after the apparitions. And most of her messages are after the Church approval." (emphasis by the author of booklet).

The bishop of Akita approved that event, but I have since come to disbelieve in it.

There are too many weird things going on in the church today. I think people should stay on the narrow road and leave this stuff alone.
