Pat Robertson
VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia —  Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson predicted Tuesday a horrific terrorist act on the United States that will 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.

"I put these things out with humility," he said.

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.

Predicting events for the coming year is an annual tradition for Robertson.

He predicted in January 2004 that President George W. Bush would easily win re-election. Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

In 2005, Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts.

Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled by widespread opposition.

"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.

I've got news for Pat Robertson...  

Revelation 22:18:  "I [Jesus Christ] warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book."

Sounds like ol' Pat is trying to add stuff, and I would NOT want to be in his shoes...

He says that God told him all this stuff, and yet he's wrong on some of it.  Now, either he's a liar, or God's a liar (or somehow got it "wrong").  From what I've read in the Bible about prophets who get even one thing wrong, it says to not believe them and that they're liars, and God is definitely NOT speaking to them...

Matthew 7:15:
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.


I don't trust Pat Robertson even as far as I could throw him...  As a Christian, when I look at this guy all I see is somebody who's made a LOT of "prophecies" that haven't come true, and that makes him a false prophet according to the Biblical definition.  There's NOTHING good to be said of those folks, only curses and promises of destruction.

It is one thing of Pat says, "I "think" that this may happen...."

But if he says, "God told me this would happen", he is prophesying.  And God gives us instructions about that.

Please excuse the long passage, but it says it all.

Deuteronomy 18:20  But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

21  And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

22  When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.


Notice the "test":  If he says something and it doesn't happen, even once, he is a false prophet and shouldn't be listened too.

Pat falls in that category, I am sad to say.

You know, if you pay attention to what is going on in the world, and you make enough predictions, sooner or later a couple of them are going to be correct.

Sometimes you hit the mark without even meaning to.

On my 20th birthday, I was driving down Hwy 101 towards San Diego with my girlfriend and we were talking about war and such, as she had concerns about dating a guy in the Marines. I gave her a good, long explanation about why she needn't worry, and told her that the next war we would fight would be with terrorists, and it would start here.

That was August 16, 2001.

Knowledge of the world situation will allow you to "predict" all kinds of stuff. It works great when you are the only source of information for the people you are making your prediction to.

I've always had mixed feelings about Pat.  On the one hand I think he has gotten nuttier than a fruitcake in his old age (he was much better about 10 years ago) and he has always had a tendency to exaggerate.  However, he also does a lot of good with the money given to him.  Check out what his charity Operation Blessing does.  There have been a lot of lives changed for the better by this man.  How many of us here can say the same?

Is Pat Robertson The Debil!!!

No.

Pat's problem is that he doesn't know when to be quiet. He also has a bad habit of stamping "God told me..." on stuff he should NEVER put it on, and in doing so he overshadows whatever good he has done in the public mind. It would be one thing if he was refusing to compromise on Biblical directives, but this kind of stuff doesn't serve any higher goal.

In past times, people were very careful about what they put "thus sayeth The Lord" on.

Agreed 100%.

When he says "God told me.." and he does that alot, he is blaspheming big time.
God does not call Pat Robertson. Or any of these TV false prophets who extort from the faithful and are no more than money changers in the Temple.

However, not all TV ministries fall into that category.
I watch John Hagee daily, he does not fall into the Pat Robertson/Benny Hinn catergory.

Benny Hinn is the worst IMHO.


Hagee is good people, I really like watching him and learn quite a bit.

Robertson is a fruitcake.

The only thing worse than Pat Robertson as President, is a Mullah or Imam as President.

I get a big case of the heebie jeebies whenever I see him. I haven't done that much research on the guy, but the stuff I have heard from him has set off all sorts of alarm bells.

Let me make something clear:

In the Bible, prophecy was not about predicting the future. Prophets were men who spoke the message of God to His people. The prophet was sometimes moved to write about things that would happen in the future, but it wasn't the core of their message or reputation.

Today there are lots of people claiming the title of "prophet" running around making predictions about the future and that is their bread and butter. And lots of silly people are running around trying to get a "word" from these "prophets" about what they should do in their lives....

It is frankly little better than Miss Cleo.
