VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (AP) -- Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday that God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would cause a "mass killing" late in 2007.
"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network.
"The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."
Robertson said God told him about the impending tragedy during a recent prayer retreat.
God also said, he claims, that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.
Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli-controlled land to the Palestinians.
The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election.
Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
In 2005, Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts.
Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled.
"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."
In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006.
Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.

I wish this guy would just go away. He doesn't seem like the type of guy I read about in the bible of whom God would talk to. I mean, Jesus hung out with addicts and prostitutes, yet also decides to speak to the biggest evangelical leader in the US. Doesn't make sense to me...

Prognostication is such crap...... so if there is one he can say....look SEE I'M Right!!!! and stupid people will follow him and if he's wrong???? Will anyone call him on it or will he admit he's full of shit to begin with?
it is a shame that people believe this horse shit,...

It is amazing that the guy has such a large following, and yet nobody ever admits to liking him. I'd love to read one person on this board step up to defend him. I've never met anybody who doesn't think Pat has his head up his ass.
lmao, I am sure you'll continue to be correct with your predictions
2003 ~ Toronto
2005 ~ London, Toronto
2006 ~ Toronto
2008 ~ Hartford, Mansfied I,
2009 ~ Toronto, Chicago I, Chicago II
2010 ~ Cleveland, Buffalo
2011 ~ Toronto I, Toronto II, Ottawa, Hamilton
2013 - London, Pittsburgh, Buffalo
you're not exactly in the 700 clubs demographic though.
I wonder if Pat give them personal assurance:
"For fifty bucks, I'll ask God to spare you"
my spidey senses tell me you are absolutely correct
"Let's show those idiot Christian Americans that their religious leaders are buffoons. No attack in 2007. Let's put some egg on this clown's face."
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

or he's fuckin crazy. i didn;t know God could talk. isn't that something only humans do?
HAHAHAHAHAHA it makes you wonder eh?
too bad God stopped talking with humans directly thousands of years ago...
Esther's here and she's sick?
hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
Yet another reason why I think organized religion is stupid. Why would god, who seemed so chatty in the bible, suddenly decide he's said enough and we're left to carry on without his ongoing wisdom and guidance? That seems like a silly thing for him to do.
I guess if Pat thinks God talks to him, he fashions himself as a prophet too.
...
I don't take anything this guy has to say too seriously.
Hail, Hail!!!
The Almighty(aka Yaweh, Allah, Eric Clapton) admitted today to playing a running prank on Robertson wherein God thinks up "the craziest shit possible" and then communicates the message to Robertson in hopes that he will relay to the millions of Americans who make up his radio/tv audience.
"It started off as a thing between me and St. Peter", God stated. "I'd think of the most wacked-out stuff for Robertson to say. I'd manifest myself to him, do the shining light, the booming echoing voice in his head, the whole bit. He never failed. I told him that 9-11 was the fault of the homosexuals and abortionists, and bang, he was on tv the next day repeating it. I couldn't believe it. Peter kept upping the ante. It gradually progressed to threatning biblical retribution for teaching evolution in public schools, calling for the assasination of foreign leaders, etc. I even gave him the strength to leg press 1500 lbs., just to keep him on the line. Duuuuude! I'm so fucking with his head!!! He's such a tool, though. He totally deserves it, the douchebag."
my dj name. i used to whip ass with him
i used to like him around 1983
he sucks now

So has the rest of the world. Why in the hell does the media keep amplifying this guy? It's so fucking irresponsible... the media is just terrrible.
The media 'amplifies' him because he's a nationally recognized evangelist with millions of followers around the world. It's not 'the media's' fault that Pat Robertson is crazy, nor is it 'the media's' fault that people inexplicably believe what he says.
Don't discount Robertson's influence. He doesn't get the millions needed to keep his creepy television station going from God or Jesus. That money comes from American citizens that believe what he has to say.
Hail, Hail!!!
My mom used to come in the room a turn off the tv. She said I couldn't watch it because he was a protestant and we were catholic
Thanks mom.

Then, there's that homeless guy on Fairfax that says he gets direct orders from God.
...
Maybe it's a good thing God doesn't talk to me... I don't want Him to hold me hostage... or be homeless.
Hail, Hail!!!
I had the distinguished honor of meeting Pat Robertson. He seemed like a down to earth solid guy. He had just chartered a Lear 35 and ....Aw fuck it the guy is just nuts isn’t he
And yeah, god forbid he gets lucky on one of those predictions…
Hah, you had me going for about 2 seconds!
