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.
