Pat Robertson is a Poor Listener

On the 20th of October, televangelist Pat Robertson announced on his show, The 700 Club, he had consulted with God.  According to Mr. Robertson, God told him “without question” Donald Trump would win the election.  The televangelist also forecasted disaster for the country, including civil unrest, at least two attempts on Trump’s life, and a war against Israel that will be “put down by God.”  This will be followed by five years of peace before the Earth is stuck by an asteroid.

Obviously, the very first of these revelations proved false.

Considering God is infallible, that surely must sting the televangelist a little.  My theory is, Pat Robertson is a poor listener.  I am not sure what God conveyed to Pat, but obviously he would not say Trump was going to win considering he didn’t. 

Oddly enough, this is not the first time Mr. Robertson has missed the mark following an audience with God.  He has issued prophecies of demise previously.  In 1976, he predicted the world would end in 1982.   In book, "The New Millennium," published in 1990, he said the world would be destroyed on April 29, 2007.

Again, God is not going to dispense bogus information. The errors are necessarily on the receiving end of these communications.  I fear, If the world doesn’t end one of these times, Mr. Robertson’s flock is surely going to stop following him.
