Pat Robertson salivates for the apocalypse re: Israel
Wearing white and trusting that God will watch over him in a war zone, the American Christian Evangelical leader Pat Robertson is visiting Israel this week to offer his support for a country whose very existence he believes is threatened by Hizbullah in Lebanon.

Arriving on Monday for a three-day visit, he has since traveled up to the northern boarder where, in spite of the warning sirens and the constant thud of rocket explosions, he televised a segment of his evangelical TV show The 700 Club, which is produced five days a week and broadcast around the world.







Do you worry that we could be on the verge of some of the apocalyptic visions that are portrayed in the scriptures?

There was a prophet Ezekiel in the time of the Bible who wrote that in the last days there would be an invasion of Israel by a coalition that would include Iran, Russia, Turkey and the Sudan and Libya. God himself is going to defeat that great army that had come against his people. That is a prophecy of one of the Jewish prophets that has yet to be fulfilled. It said that it would be in the later days when Israel has been brought from the nations of the earth and are living in peace in their land.

Are we on the verge of this apocalyptic vision?

Could be.

1. You know, he ought to watch out for stray rockets
Because he sure isn't one of God's favorite people...on the other hand, maybe he sold his soul. He wouldn't have anything to worry about at that point.

3. Gee, now all Pat needs is for Iran, Russia, Turkey, Sudan and Libya to invade Israel
How he arrived at that conclusion is anyone's guess. :crazy:

But I don't think Sudan is going to be invading anyone anytime soon.

6. The fundies are just as dangerous... I despise Robertson by the way
and so much drama... he will be away from the closest front lines... not that they can't move on a dime, but that is another point

9. Robertson is a nutcase.
Who, in the Middle East, could invade Israel and not get their ass handed to them? The US is about the only nation that could pull it off. The Arabs are armed to the teeth, but history has shown they haven't a clue how to use their weapons. Israel proved that in 1967 and 1973.

Pat, why you do us all a favor and stay in Israel? We've had enough of your morality police bullshit.

10. Robertson was there for the Lebanon war also


Hooked up with the current government to pray for Victory on that war.

11. There's a reason why Pat's up at the northern end of Israel near Lebanon
His chickenshit ass ain't going anywhere near Gaza right now. :scared:

Also, the fact that he owns a TV station in Lebanon might factor into it. Not to mention that if the Ezekiel 38 invasion that he mentions actually happens, they'll be coming in from the north, so what better place to be to broadcast the End of the Fucking World live on CBN satellite TV.
