SOMETHING ELSE I PROBABLY WOULDN'T COME ACROSS

I was listening to Mark Levin's radio show and I heard a brief ad for something called "They fired the first shot 2012" and a little Googling turned up a link to a book on Amazon.  That led me to a website apparently devoted to a modern day Fatima called Medjugorje, this one devoted to End Times delusions:
Some speak much about Armageddon and what leads up to it, but it makes no sense for an antichrist to rise up to dominate the world without God sending something to counter and get us through tribulation. What we can see is that Our Lady is coming to give us messages once each month to be the medicine that Christians will need to live holiness under an antichrist system and to spiritually survive through that system. When we start seeing Medjugorje in this context, we realize that Medjugorje is the central point for the spiritual rebirth of, not only the world, but for the Christians and converts to gain the fiber of the early Christians in order for them to survive through tribulation to the end of the world.
This kind of fits with the conservatives' typical warnings about the imminent destruction of America by liberals (commies), but it also seems a bit too Fundie for Levin's audience.

If I'm not mistaken, the local Catholic prelate in charge at the time of occurence denounced it as a hoax. If I'm not mistaken, also, the Church still hasn't given it the promotion that legitimates it as on a par with Fatima. But it's been awhile since I researched the subject.

Ken,

Thanx for the added info - I had completely missed this story.
