All families seem to have that strange relative who regularly embarrasses the family by doing or saying something strange. For us Pat is a regular reminder of that phenomenon. We love him anyway because he is a part of our family :)
Pat Robertson Predicts 'Mass Killing'
By Associated Press
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him 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."

I did find it interesting that God didn't see fit to reveal any specifics to Pat. Kind of reminds me of the type of predictions that psychic Jeane Dixon used to make. The lack of precision in Pat's prediction is in contrast to biblical prophetic revelation. I wonder why so many people take him serious?
"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else see the strangeness of this somment?
Sometimes I miss too. Ahhh Pat.
ReplyDelete'scoose: somment = comment. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'll give him credit for one thing: he didn't do an Oral Roberts and say "God spoke to me, give me money." He essentially said "God spoke to me, we'd better pray."
ReplyDeleteBig mouth, but he means well. He's not a very good example of Evangelical Christianity, though.
