Continuing his decades-long tradition of New Year’s predictions, Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson appeared on Monday’s broadcast of the “700 Club” to share what he says God told him about 2011.
“Sometimes I’ve have had things that have been so spot on that it’s almost frightening,” Robertson said to the Christian Broadcasting Network’s Terry Meeuwsen. “Other times, I put these tentatively, and see if this is what the Lord has.”
The former Republican presidential candidate says that God told him America “is in grave peril.”
“The leaders have hearkened to the demands of interest groups and have led your nation into bankruptcy,” Robertson said, relaying what he says God told him. “In two years will come a time of reckoning”
Robertson continued: “Your creditors will demand payment, and there will not be enough to satisfy their claim. Your currency will shrink in value; your bonds will lose value. People on fixed incomes will suffer. Unemployment will escalate, and there will be turmoil. I will protect my people, but warn them now about what is coming. Tell them to get out of doubt and restrict purchases.
“It will not be a time of happiness. Bitter recriminations, revolutions, increasing turmoil.”
Robertson added that God told him that “in the midst of this CBN will prosper, Regent (Robertson’s university) will prosper…the ACLJ (Robertson’s legal group) will be needed like never before.”
“God’s going to give us extraordinary miracles. It’s going to be another good year for CBN, but it’s going to be tough for the world. So, that’s the main message,” he said.
The next president, Robertson added, “will preside over an impoverished nation” in 2012. He also referred to the next president as “a man,” perhaps irking supporters of former Alaska governor and possible Republican presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
“Oh, there’s something else the Lord said,” Robertson noted at the end of his interview. According to the 79 year-old ex-Baptist minister, God is “not going to let men destroy the world with nuclear bombs.”
Robertson has previously predicted a devastating tsunami hitting the Pacific Northwest in 2006, a massive terrorist attack in 2007, and Christ’s return to earth “by the end of 1982.”
He’s no different than a so-called psychic.
Perfect.
More pop-offecies from The Mouth That Wouldn’t Stop.
Is the God who’s telling him those things? Or Glenn Beck? Lol! Really, the stuff he said is rather obvious.
Did God also tell him to support the repeal of DADT? If I recall correctly, Robertson was in favor of the repeal.
Christians need to throw down on this fraud, but they won't, because he's a Charismatic and Charismatics get a pass these days.
Oops! It wasn’t DADT! It was jail terms for pot possession. My bad.
I think God would be more pleased if you just stuck to bringing lost souls to Jesus Christ rather than lowering yourself to the level of a late-night public access TV palm reader, Pat.
Just sayin’.
Robertson is awesome..the perfect parody...wait, he’s serious????...yikes ! ...magritte
Well, he can't get everything wrong...
Robertson is an ex-Baptist minister??? Seems just a little too charismatic to have been Baptist. Of course there are a million flavors of Baptist, but then again, maybe Baptist has become a catch all phrase in the same way AK-47 has for everything including pop-guns.
Robertson makes it sound like he had the Lord over for a backyard barbeque and they talked about world events over a couple Coronas.
>>>Robertson has previously predicted a devastating tsunami hitting the Pacific Northwest in 2006, a massive terrorist attack in 2007, and Christ’s return to earth “by the end of 1982.”<<<
Hey, nobody’s perfect. /sarc
Pat is lucky he didn’t live in Old Testament times.
“20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ 21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?’— 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.” - Deuteronomy 18:20-21
That said, his gloomy financial predictions seem fairly reasonable, though I suspect those came to him in a “word” from Captain Obvious.
one does not need a hotline to the Almighty to make THAT prediction!
Mike
pat is closer to evil than he is to good.
