Prominent conservative evangelical leader Pat Robertson has asked his followers to join in on prayer to cast a "shield of protection" ahead of Hurricane Florence.
In a video shared online by Right Wing Watch, the televangelist cited a passage from the bible in which Jesus commanded the wind and water on the Sea of Galilee to "be still."
While delivering remarks in Virginia, which is home to his Christian Broadcasting Network and where thousands are bracing for Florence's arrival, Robertson asked if his followers could invoke the same words from the passage to accomplish a similar result "if we are together with one accord."
Robertson then asked his congregation to "put a hand out toward the Atlantic" and to repeat after him.
"In the name of Jesus, you Hurricane Florence, we speak to you in the name of Jesus, and we command the storm to cease its forward motion and go harmlessly into the Atlantic," Robertson said.
"Go up north away from land and veer off in the name of Jesus. We declare in the name of the lord that you shall go no farther, you shall do no damage in this area," the evangelical leader continued.
He went on to declare a "shield of protection" over parts where "innocent people" are bracing for the hurricane, which is already reportedly packing winds of up to 140 mph, according to CNN.
"In Jesus' holy name, be out to sea!" Robertson continued.
He also said that the "shield" has worked in the against previous hurricanes.
"It's almost hilarious to see them try," he said. "They try to get in and they can't, and then they go north and they turn around, try to come back in. They can't do it."

For the record.......
The force of barometric pressure applied from the north and east produced atmospheric friction that absorbed the rotational hurricane energy. Since hot always flows to cold, the warm hurricane air was absorbed at the interface with the cooler high pressure air resulting in dissapation

The Lord told him to make a hole in the top and bottom of each barge.
REALLY??
Sorry about this knock-off story of Noah; but I didn't lay the egg; I just colored it.

I hope they had FOOD on those barges; after all:
After 344 days on the water, the barges landed on the shore of the promised land.
I guess they did: Ether 6:4
And it came to pass that when they had prepared all manner of food, that thereby they might subsist upon the water, and also food for their flocks and herds, and whatsoever beast or animal or fowl that they should carry with themand it came to pass that when they had done all these things they got aboard of their vessels or barges, and set forth into the sea, commending themselves unto the Lord their God.
Were THESE guys on board; too? The cumom and curelom are VERY useful; just like the elephants.
Ether 9:19
Nope; no cumom or curelom found.

Hardly evidence, let alone of the extraordinary variety.

I think the tital and jot referenced in The Revelation of John The Apostle plainly states that the word was completedWhere?
It took the Catholics hundreds of years to decide on what writings actually were to be included in the 'scriptures'.
