Robertson's 2009 Predictions...

[sjbouza]

It is that time of year again folks for good ole Pat Robertson to have his "big sit down" with the Almighty. This year God has spoken to Pat and told him a great deal that is going to be happening this year. Well, maybe, that is if Pat "heard God right". I guess Pat is getting hard of hearing in his old age, not being able to completely hear what God is saying to him. I guess all those prayers for healing aren't falling on God's ears either....

Here are the exerpts from Pats conversation with God...

You can see the YouTube video of Pat's predictions too...

Pat Robertson

Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, announced at his staff's annual prayer retreat that God told him Americans would embrace socialism in 2009 "in order to relieve their pain" and that the economy would rebound under an Obama administration.

"The Lord said the economy of your nation will recover," Robertson told a group assembled at Founders Inn on the campus of Regent University in Virginia Beach, Va., a university Robertson founded.

Robertson said God also declared, "The steps taken will lead to a dramatic increase in the power of government. The people will welcome socialism in order to relieve their pain. Nothing will stand in the way of a plan by Obama to restructure the economy in the same fashion as the New Deal in the '30s."

In a follow-up interview he granted to Terry Meeuwsen, his co-host on CBN's The 700 Club, Robertson added, "It will be the largest transfer of power to Washington since the '30s. But people are willing to accept it because the pain has been so bad."

In a CBN-produced video clip containing both the predictions and the interview, Meeuwsen points out that Robertson has been right on his predictions before. At the beginning of 2008, for example, Robertson correctly predicted the year would include a world-wide recession, a stock market crash, oil hitting $150 (it hit $147) per barrel, and gold topping $1000 an ounce, which it did in March 2008.

n the interview with Meeuwsen, Robertson assures Americans that contrary to many economists' opinions, the economic recovery will be swift.

"Cast off the gloom and the doom," Robertson says, "because things are getting ready to turn around."

Robertson's New Year's Day predictions for 2009 also offered reassurance for Israel with words demonstrating that he had foreseen the country's military actions today in the Gaza Strip.

"Israel is entering a period of extreme crisis," Robertson said. "A strong government that deals forcefully with the Palestinians will bring international condemnation and sanctions against Israel, but the Lord will uphold his people despite world opinion."

Not all of Robertson's predictions, however, are quite so rosy.

Socialist policies and massive government spending, Robertson told Meeuwsen, could lead to heavy hyperinflation, sending prices through the roof and the value of the dollar through the floor.

"The Lord said the dollar is going to go down dramatically," Robertson said in the interview. "If I'm hearing him right, gold will go to about $1900 dollars an ounce and oil to $300 a barrel."

As a result, Robertson warned, "People are not going to trust the United States any longer as the leader in financial matters."

On a more spiritual theme, Robertson concluded his New Year's Day predictions by declaring that God says now is the time for Christians to expand their outreach and evangelism around the world, especially toward Muslims.

"The whole of Islam is weakening. The violence and bloodshed has turned many against this religion of hate," Robertson declared.

"There has never been, nor will there ever be, a more propitious time for the gospel," he announced. "People by the tens of millions will be seeking answers. They will gladly receive the forgiveness of sins that was bought by the death of Jesus Christ."

Now Pat has been right before, but he has also been wrong. Hummmm...that makes me think. If Pat is truly receiving these messages from God, wouldn't he be right 100% of the time? So if Pat makes a "prediction from God" that does not come true, who is lying, him or God?

ROBERTSON IS A FRIGGIN NUTCASE!!! He doesn't talk directly with God anymore than my dog talks to me. If he truly did hear from God then what he says will come to pass 100% of the time with no exception. If God is speaking to Pat then I doubt it is the God of the Bible. I think it is the "god" in his wallet that he thinks is the "one true god".

who does he think he is? Jeane Dixon?

Scott,

What are you talking about? My dogs talk to me...you are really missing out, man

Pat Robertson's beliefs and preaching are so ... odd.

Besides, the prediction that the US will become more socialist and the dollar will recover? Well, duh...I could have said that

Why is socialism touted as such a bad, evil thing by conservatives? (Real question). Canada and much of Europe have many things (ie, healthcare!) socialized, and it seems to be working out well.

[antiochian]

Yeah, he also said that the world would end in 1982. F-R-A-U-D.

[Alecto]

Wait, so...the economy will recover, except, um, sort of only kind of and then no it won't?
SAFEST PREDICTION EVAR.

[Matt Algren]

Aside of the inherent silliness of the whole thing and the Bible saying some things about not predicting the future, under Robertson Rules, if you predict something and it doesn't happen it still counts.

He also cited information from God when he predicted on a year go that major U.S. cities would be hit by "very serious terrorist attacks" causing "possibly millions" of deaths.

No such catastrophe occurred.

"All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed and God in his mercy spared us," Robertson said on "The 700 Club," a television show he hosts on the Christian Broadcasting Network, based in Virginia Beach.

"So did I miss it? Possibly," he said of his unrealized prediction. "Or, on the other hand, did God avert it? Possibly. But whatever, it didn't happen, so I think we can all rejoice."

It could rain unless the sun is out. People will die in car crashes this year. Pat Robertson will be taken away by men in white coats. This prediction stuff is fun!

You know, the research shows that even the best psychics are only 80% correct. That leaves a 20% margin of 'error'.

Now. I haven't studied Pat's numbers, and even how they were kept, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that the man is perceptive as far as metaphysics is concerned. Big deal. My take is that we all have this ability. It's just that some of us are more aware of it than others.

As anyone who has sat on a cushion and meditated can probably tell you, odd experiences do happen- that is- psychic phenomena. However, most people don't attribute this activity to a deity.

Pat Robertson thinks Jesus is sending him telepathic messages about the future? Is he wearing his aluminum foil hat?
