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.

In 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."

And what did God say about obama playing the messiah? Seems to me that He would be just a tad bit unhappy with this and mention it.....oh, I don't know....FIRST

I'm sorry. I'm sure there are those here who admire Mr. Robertson and I personally don't have anything against the man. I just have a great deal of difficulty with high profile religious figures delivering messages from God which so obviously fit in with damaging political agendas. It tends to make one think that a certain population of the devout are being manipulated and that's a very dangerous game to be playing.

Quite frankly, if I were to hazard a guess, I would think that the last thing God would be doing is offering stock tips, giving his approval to government control over human beings who have Free Will, and most of all approving of an individual like obama who has appointed himself to the position of false messiah.

This guy is a loon. A Nut job who thinks he is a prophet now. Yeeesh

God' people?

You can tell who this guy works for. What about all the other human beings on Earth? What are we? Slave labor for THEM?

No thanks

I saw an interview with him on tv a week or two ago.....he thinks Obama is swell.

God also told Pat Robertson to run for president. He didn't get elected.

Precisely.

And aside from his messages that God is promoting socialism, this alleged message should also raise very big concerns:

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.


What he is saying here is that, under this administration, Islam is going to present itself and in no small way.

While he is cleverly trying to disguise it, what he is doing is encouraging the tolerance and embrace.....instead of opposition.....of Islam under the guise of it being an opportunity to turn Muslims away from Islam which, of course, is never going to happen.

As I said.....it's a very dangerous game being played here.

I am a Christian and tototally disagree with Robertson's stand of behalf of God! It's actually blasphemy! Anyone that has read the bible knows that the bible does not endorse, cheating, stealing, lying and treachery,all of the traits that Obama has used and would employ to bring about Socialism.

I am a Christian also, and as far as I've seen, Pat Robertson is a globalist. A false teacher; An apostate.

I am not going to judge his soul or intent here. But I think we all should pray for Pat. He needs healing from a mental disorder.

Your right cayla, but we are also called to rebuke. I will be praying for Pat's mental health.
