Pat Robertson: God told me of 'mass killing' in 2007
Story Highlights
•NEW: Evangelist Pat Robertson predicts 2007 terror attack
•NEW: "700 Club" host says U.S. will experience "masskilling"
•NEW: Robertson claims God spoke to him
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.
