    Pat Robertson Claims God ‘Showed’ Him Who the Next President Will be

    Christian leader Pat Robertson is claiming that God gave him insight regarding who America’s next president will be. But the conservative media mogul isn’t willing to name names.

    “I think He showed me about the next president, but I‘m not supposed to talk about that so I’ll leave you in the dark — probably just as well — but I think I know who it’s gonna be,” Robertson said on Tuesday‘s episode of the Christian Broadcast Network’s “700 Club.”

    Aside from making this proclamation, he went on to read the message, word-for-word, that he claims to have heard directly from God. Here it is, in full:

    Your country will be torn apart by internal stress. A house divided cannot stand. Your president holds a radical view of the direction of your country which is at odds with the majority. Expect chaos and paralysis. Your president holds a view which is at the odds with the majority — it’s a radical view of the future of this country, and so that‘s why we’re having this division. This is a spiritual battle which can only be won by overwhelming prayer. The future of the world is at stake because if America falls, there’s no longer a strong champion of freedom and a champion of the oppressed of the world. There must be an urgent call to prayer.

    If true, this would mean that God sees Obama’s views as so radical and out of touch with the American public that they will very literally damage the very fabric of America. It’s a pretty bold statement to be uttering, especially considering that it’s being attributed to God.

    Watch Robertson make these statements, among others, below:

      as i recall he said god told him to run for president, is it the same god? somehow i don't think god would tell him and then tell him to not tell any one. i'm a christian and as i recall the book saying beware of those that come in my name, for they shall be as wolves in sheeps clothing. i agree we need all the prayer we can get, but i don't believe god is a democrat or a republican. he is concerned with our immortal souls and not what political party we belong to or who runs for president. pat stick to preaching the gospel and render unto caesar what is caesar's.

        You know, there is a word for people who claim that God speaks to them: Megalomania. Bachmann, Perry, Cain and Santorum all claim God told them to run ... and now Robertson claims God told him who will win ... funny how God only talks to delusional Republicans.
    • shelly  •  4 mths ago
      He is a phony, I will never forget just recently he said it was ok to drop your wife if she has alzheimer's , it's like she is dead already and the man can remarry. What a crock!
      • Telestai 4 mths ago
        Do you recall that he also advocated political assassinations? And rejoiced over natural disasters because those countries were "pagan"? I am a Christian -- and I have not one shred of respect for the man.
    • Fiddlesticks  •  4 mths ago
      He's so harmful to the national Christian image. He needs to stop saying... anything and just use his money for charity work for the rest of his life, that's the only positive thing he has.
      • James 4 mths ago
        Only two ways to stop him - quit watching his show and quit giving him money.
      • Telestai 4 mths ago
        I refuse to watch it [reading some of his writing alerted me] and have never sent in a dime. But he is still here. . . .
      • Fiddlesticks 4 mths ago
        I've never watched his show in my life or given him money. On another note, doesn't it seem like his head is too large for his body?
    • Leisha  •  Oklahoma City, Oklahoma  •  4 mths ago
      This from the same man who stated the purple TelliTubbie was Gay!!! Seriously.
      • Pioneer 4 mths ago
        I thought that was Jerry Falwell.. Maybe I am mistaken. Both Falwell and Pat the Man are cut from the same cloth.
        I was wondering who was going to save us from all of the Gay cartoon characters when Falwell died and now I know, it is Pat Robertson.
      • Vicky_Licky 4 mths ago
        Well, I think it turned out that one of them actually was gay.

      Pat said, "I think He showed me about the next president, but I‘m not supposed to talk about that ..."

      If he “isn’t "supposed to talk about that”, why is he TALKING ABOUT IT? What a nut!
    • Performer24  •  4 mths ago
      Wow I just read thru most of the comments on here, and this is like the 2nd time in history that 99 percent of Yahoo readers agree! Most of us concur that Pat is insane and a false proffit.

      When God tells me stuff, I let everyone know what he told me.
    • Pat  •  4 mths ago
      Robertson is displaying attention getting behavior. It's like: "I know something that makes me special but I'm not going to tell you." He has no clue what he's talking about.
    • Mr Loud  •  Los Angeles, California  •  4 mths ago
      I just talked to God, he said Pat Robertson is Satan
    • Noel T  •  Mobile, Alabama  •  4 mths ago
      This nut no more has a red phone hotline to God than anyone else does. He makes crap up to get publicity and to make money. It's sad that there are people out there stupid enough to fall for it. He is an obvious false prophet if there ever was one. The media should ignore him so he will go away.
    • Anthony  •  4 mths ago
      If Obama wins in 2012, does that discredit Robertson or God?

    • Adam S  •  4 mths ago
      What is really sad is that people keep sending this idiot their money thinking it will "save" them. He is nothing but a racist, homophobic, fear-mongerer and the people who follow and believe him are a bunch of brain dead sheep!...in my opinion.
    • New Yorker  •  Cary, North Carolina  •  4 mths ago
      Shame on you Pat Robertson. You are not any more special to God than any of the rest of us. He doesn't show you the future anymore than he does any other Chrisitian. Why do you have to continue to make these stupid comments. Do you have any idea how many people you turn off to Christianity because of your ludicrous comments and self deifying junk. You need to read your Bible more and stop trying to make yourself appear to be a prophet.
    • Jay  •  Denver, Colorado  •  4 mths ago
      robertson has been saying nutty things for years. Now he's so special God tells him stuff he does not share with the rest of us. Sounds kind of psycho to me. I wonder who and/or what else shares insider info with him?
    • CHRIS  •  Flint, Michigan  •  4 mths ago
      I have no respect for this religious bigget... All televangelists are evil.. With their $3000 suits and investment portfolios... This is not religion.. its corruption...
    • p  •  4 mths ago
      this man is as bad as any snake oil salesman and his lemmings keep sending him money to keep him wealthy while they all struggle to survive. he doesn't do anything for them except spread fear and hatred. when you get to the end of your road d-bag robertson, you are in for quite a surprise, and if there is truly a hell? it will be befitting to you to reside there for your interpretation of eternity.
