[Pat] Robertson Predicts 'Mass Killing' [in Sept 2007]
Jan 2 07:29 PM US/Eastern
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson predicted Tuesday that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in "mass killing" late in 2007. "I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."
Robertson said God told him during a recent prayer retreat that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.
Robertson said God also told him that the U.S. only feigns friendship with Israel and that U.S. policies are pushing Israel toward "national suicide."
Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli- controlled land to the Palestinians.
The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election. Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. He also predicted Bush's victory for a second term in 2005.
"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."
In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006. Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.
” He seems to be taking credit for what he’s saying and not attributing it to God.”
Really? Then why did he say this?.....
“I’m not necessarily saying it’s going to be nuclear,” he said during his news-and-talk television show “The 700 Club” on the Christian Broadcasting Network. “The Lord didn’t say nuclear.”
I like Pat Robertson ... he’s well-intentioned and usually right on issues ... but I often wish he’d just stick a sock in it.
But, let someone who isn’t among the leadership of the Christian right say this stuff!!
For instance - that Chavez assassination scandal. Yes, the world and the U.S. would probably be better off if the CIA or Mossad knocked Chavez off ... and I certainly wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. But the Christian community is NOT better off with one of its leaders professing, out loud, his support for the idea.
H
Exactly.
ANYONE who says God actually speaks to them, telling them very specific things that are worldly, is desperately in need of psychological help. No exceptions.
Isn’t it strange how God never can get a clear or accurate message through to Pat? True biblical prophets never seemed to have that problem.
Pat really needs to give up his “the Lord said to me” schtick. It’s embarrassing.
No sect. Just a Christian.
Well today is “exercise your rights day” so go out and buy some guns and ammo!
I think the “God” Pat’s been talking to has a sticker on his side that reads, “Take with food or milk”.
No problem.
I haven’t seen Robertson make his statement, so all I have to go on is this AP report. Of course the AP would never do a story about Robertson if it wasn’t for the purpose of mocking Robertson.
Quite true. It's amazing how the MSM will attribute Islam as the "religion of peace" and yet they deny salvation through the Prince of Peace.
Whether God did or not.. You got muslims all over the world threatening this.. They have even done some of it.. in a small time way.. merely killing thousands..
To think they are not planning this (as they actually say they are) is denial and delusion.. Looking at the republican party preparing for the next election, denial and delusion must be more widespread than just with democrats..
