Famous Televangelist Pat Robertson, Who Had Prophesied on October 2020 that Trump Would Be Reelected, Now Says Biden Won and that Trump Lives in “Alternate Reality”

By Julio Severo

“First of all, I want to say without question, Trump is going to win the election,” said televangelist Pat Robertson on October 2020. “He’s going to win. That’s, I think, a given.” He is the founder of the famous TV show the 700 Club, which is watched by millions of evangelicals around the world.

Pat Robertson

A staunch supporter of Trump, Robertson had predicted that Trump would win reelection, and that there would “be at least two attempts on the Trump’s life.”

He then predicted that there would be social unrest after Trump's win, and also Israel would be at war.

Then there would be “at least five years or more of extraordinary peace” before an asteroid would hit Earth, according to The Hill newspaper.

The 90-year-old Robertson has predicted Earth’s destruction several times through his decades-long career.

Yet, after the Electoral College chose radical socialist Joe Biden as president, Robertson changed his mind.

“I think it’s all over,” the conservative televangelist said. “I think the Electoral College has spoken. I think the Biden corruption has not totally been brought to fruition, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting the Electoral College.”

“I don’t think the Supreme Court is going to move in to do anything and I think we’re going to see a President Biden and I also think we’ll be seeing a President Kamala Harris, not too long after the Inauguration of President Biden.”

Robertson said that he believes Trump “lives in an alternate reality,” arguing that while many say that the president lies a lot, “to him that’s the truth.”

Robertson’s comments came on an episode of “The 700 Club” that aired on 21 December 2020. He recognized that the devotion the evangelical community was vital for Trump.

“There was something about him that was good, that God placed him in that office for the time. He has done a marvelous job for the economy,” he said.

“But at the same time, he is very erratic and he’s fired people, he’s fought people, and he’s insulted people… it’s a mixed bag. And I think it would be well to say, ‘You’ve had your day, it’s time to move on.’”

The problem is that with 90 years, Robertson is too old to see with clarity spiritual and political issues. He did a very good work 40 and 50 years ago, but old age has taken a heavy toll in his spiritual vision. The old warrior should do as Billy Graham did: live and rest in a cabin, cared by his family. If Trump’s time is over, so is Robertson’s time on television.

Robertson also expressed concern about the socialist trends coming to the United States under Biden and that, as a president, socialist Biden will likely reverse many of Trump’s conservative positions. At least in this view, Robertson saw correctly.

Regarding a possible Trump campaign in 2024, Robertson said that Trump running again would be a “tremendous mistake,” preferring instead as a presidential candidate former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. But this is a very strange stance for a conservative televangelist, because Haley has a mixed political history not much favorable to conservatism. Besides, she practices a hybrid faith, professing at the same time the Protestant faith and the Sikh faith — a pagan religion from India.

U.S. Christians should pray that Robertson may refrain from prophesying that religious hybrid Haley will be president.

This is not the first sin of Robertson. In 2018 his 700 Club, which should be a tool only for the Gospel, supported neoconservatives and their bloody wars. In the same year, in a neocon move Robertson supported the sale of U.S. arms to Saudi Arabia, which has a history of terrorism and persecution of Christians.

Although Trump has not recognized Biden’s victory, many Trump supporters, including some major conservative Christian leaders, have acknowledged Biden president.

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler Jr., who did not vote for Trump in 2016 but supported him in 2020, said Biden “is now the president-elect of the United States.” He is a Council member of the Gospel Coalition, a Calvinist group with strange stances on the homosexual sin.

“I did not want Joe Biden to be elected president of the United States, but he is now the president-elect,” he said.

The Rev. Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said that while he acknowledged Biden’s victory, he also said that “I tend to believe” Trump when “Trump says that this election has been rigged or stolen.”

“He has a track record of being right. Pray for President Trump, pray for Joe Biden, and pray for our nation—that we will get through this, and for God’s will be done,” wrote Graham on his Facebook page on Dec. 19.

It is so sad that so many Americans do not care about Biden’s corruption and socialism. Christians can pray for Biden, but such prayer does not exempt them from praying against his corruption and socialism. God cannot bless what he does not approve of, and he never condones socialism and corruption and falsehood, even among right-wingers and occultists masked as conservatives and right-wingers.

Corruption and socialism should be exterminated on all levels. For this to happen, Christians need to make the commitment to pray for the defeat of these two evils.

When a Televangelist Cares More about Weapons Deals than Human Lives for the Sake of Neoconservatism

By Julio Severo

Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson said the U.S. should not risk “$100 billion worth of arms sales” with Saudi Arabia after the apparent killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in a Saudi consulate in Turkey, saying that America has more important things — like jobs and coffers benefited by arms deals — to focus on.

Pat Robertson

He appeared on its flagship television show The 700 Club on October 15, 2018, to caution American evangelicals against allowing the United States’ relationship with Saudi Arabia to deteriorate over Khashoggi’s killing.

“For those who are screaming blood for the Saudis — look, these people are key allies,” Robertson said. While he called the faith of the Wahabists — the hardline Islamist sect to which the Saudi Royal Family belongs — “obnoxious,” he urged viewers to remember that “we’ve got an arms deal that everybody wanted a piece of…it’ll be a lot of jobs, a lot of money come to our coffers. It’s not something you want to blow up willy-nilly.”

“You’ve got one journalist — who knows? Was it an interrogation? Was he assassinated? Were there rogue elements? Who did it?...You’ve got $100 billion worth of arms sales...we cannot alienate our biggest player in the Middle East.”

I first knew The 700 Club in the late 1970s in Brazil and when Robertson’s name came, the first idea was evangelism and conservatism. I could never believe that someday his name would be connected to defense of arms deals and the Islamic dictatorship of Saudi Arabia.

Khashoggi, a Saudi citizen and longtime critic of the Saudi Royal Family, was a permanent resident of the United States, where he moved after determining that it was unsafe to remain in Saudi Arabia. Khashoggi spent the past year as a columnist for the Washington Post, where he regularly published incendiary articles critical of Saudi Arabia and its leadership.

Yet, if the killing of a dissident journalist is not so important as the U.S. arms deal with Saudi Arabia, what about 9/11? Of the 19  Islamic terrorists in this attack, 15 were from Saudi Arabia, according to the CIA. In 2015, one of the 9/11 terrorists, Zacarias Moussaoui, claimed several members of the Saudi royal family had been listed as al-Qaeda donors in the database he worked on under orders of Osama bin Laden, CNN reports.

Even CBN of Robertson, in a 2015 report titled “Saudi Arabia’s Role in Spreading Islamic Terrorism,” recognized, albeit timidly, that Saudi Arabia spreads terrorism. The kind of Islam that the Saudis spread is Sunni Islam, which is the most violent form of Islam against Christians.

In a 2014 article titled “Saudi royal family will not allow Obama to save Christians in Iraq,” Religious Freedom Coalition director William J. Murray said,

“The United States has been the ‘puppet’ military of the Saudi royal family, attacking and isolating Shia nations such as Syria. The Shia majority state of Syria, which protects religious minorities, is a target of the United States only because the Saudi royals are giving the orders, not the American people.”

According to Murray, under Obama, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia trained ISIS terrorists to attack Syria.

In a 2018 WND report titled “Russia and the Sunni Muslim threat,” Murray said,

“Currently the Sunni Muslim propaganda machine is everywhere inside the Washington, D.C. beltway. Money from the rich Gulf states, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, floods the media and spreads political influence. Public remembrance of the Sunni Muslim attacks that have killed scores of Americans over the last decade or so has vanished, and even the 9/11 attack is hardly mentioned. The almost daily beheadings in Saudi Arabia are forgiven. Our leaders looked away as torture chambers were set up in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in the Saudi capital this year. The slaughter going on in Yemen by Saudi Arabian-backed forces is hardly mentioned. In the Washington area the Saudi Academy, which is a Sunni Muslim school for the children of diplomats from Muslim nations, teaches democracy is an apostate religion that must be destroyed. It also teaches Jews are descendants of apes and pigs and that women are the property of men. One former valedictorian was convicted after leaving the school of joining Al Qaida and plotting to assassinate President George W. Bush. Another graduate was arrested while attempting to board an airliner with a large concealed butcher knife. The school is 100 percent funded by the Saudi Arabian government. No American officials complain about the hatred being taught at the Saudi Academy.”

According to John Perkins, in his 2004 book “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man,” Saudi Arabia has a very special relationship with the U.S. since mid-1970s. He said,

“The evidence was indisputable: Saudi Arabia, America’s longtime ally and the world’s largest oil producer, had somehow become, as a senior Treasury Department official put it, ‘the epicenter’ of terrorist financing… Saudi largess encouraged U.S. officials to look the other way, some veteran intelligence officers say. Billions of dollars in contracts, grants, and salaries have gone to a broad range of former U.S. officials who had dealt with the Saudis: ambassadors, CIA station chiefs, even cabinet secretaries…”

So even Americans know about the indisputable Saudi role in the international Islamic terrorism. In fact, Perkins travelled to Saudi Arabia in the early 1970s as a U.S. operative and he knows the facts behind the scenes.

Now, for the sake of the U.S. arms deal with a nation that spreads terrorism, a televangelist is looking the other way because if the United States’ relationship with Saudi Arabia deteriorates, as Robertson recognized, thousands of Americans will lose their jobs in the military industrial complex, and billions of Saudi dollars will not come to the U.S. coffers.

Thousands of U.S. Christians have jobs in the military industrial complex. If the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia deteriorates, they lose their jobs. If it does not deteriorate, Christians in the Middle East and other parts of the world lose their lives as a consequence of the Sunni terrorism of Saudi Arabia heavily armed by the U.S.

It is very obvious that non-Christian Americans have sold their souls to the devil, in Saudi form, for the sake of bloody money. Have now even loved televangelists followed suit?

Islam from Saudi Arabia, not Iran, has killed more Christians in the Middle East than any other ideology. Even so, the U.S. has protected Saudi Arabia, not its Christian victims. Trump has badly failed in his promise to help Christians persecuted by Muslims. Instead of receiving in the United States thousands and thousands of persecuted Christians (often victims of Saudi and U.S. interventionism), the Trump administration has received in the first 6 months of 2018 just 21 persecuted Christians, vastly less than Obama. Yet, he has not failed in his broad support and protection of the Saudi dictators.

For Saudi oil’s sake, the U.S. is willing to sacrifice thousands of lives of Christian victims of Sunni Islam. And a loved televangelist approves it.

For Saudi oil’s sake, the U.S. is not willing to punish Saudi Arabia for the thousands of lives of Americans destroyed on 9/11.

What is the explanation for Pat Robertson to use his The 700 Club to encourage his evangelical audience to tolerate Saudi crimes?

Robertson is trying to please U.S. President Donald Trump, who last year sold the massive amount of US$ 110 billion in military equipment to Saudi Arabia.

Robertson praised the approach of Trump, who has publicly cast doubt on the Saudi crimes, comparing them to left-wing accusations against conservatives.

To justify Saudi crimes, both Trump and Robertson are looking the other way and comparing the Saudis to conservatives!

According to Vox,

“Robertson’s stance is in keeping with his wider, full-throated support for President Trump’s policies over the past few years. Since Trump’s inauguration, the Christian Broadcasting Network has become a de facto propaganda channel for the administration, running programs that, for example, suggest that Donald Trump was chosen by God to become president. In return, Robertson has frequently been granted rare access for sit-down interviews with Trump, during which he typically throws Trump softball questions.”

For the sake of bloody money, Trump is not imposing necessary sanctions on Saudi Arabia. Fearful of losing “friendship,” Robertson is not being a prophetic voice against the U.S.-Saudi bloody deal.

To support Trump in everything is a dangerous undertaking. Christians support King David in everything he gave a good example. But even he, who was a man after the heart of God, was not perfect. He adulterated with Bathsheba and had her husband killed.

If Christians would support David in everything, they would eventually support also adultery and murder, just because David did it.

If Christians cannot support David’s sins, why is televangelist Pat Robertson justifying Saudi crimes for the sake of Trump?

Even liberal Canada has condemned Saudi Arabia over human rights abuses. If liberal Canada can do it, why cannot the U.S. do it? Why cannot Robertson and other U.S. evangelicals do it?

Robertson has with Trump the same relationship that Nathan the Prophet had with King David. Robertson always have positive messages to Trump. Nathan had always positive messages to David.

Yet, when David sinned, Nathan was sent by God to give him a non-positive message. Has not Robertson been attentive to God’s voice to do for Trump the same thing Nathan did for David?

A relationship is only friendship when both parts are free and sincere to approve and disapprove the good and bad acts of one another. When the message is always positive, there is not real friendship, but only opportunism.

The flatterer flatters everything the flattered individual does right and wrong. A true Christian approves and praises everything that needs to be approved and reproves everything that needs to be disapproved.

If places were changed and Nathan were today before Trump, he would bring to Trump from God a disapproving message about Saudi Arabia, Trump’s appointment of homosexual activists and much more.

What would Robertson do about David’s adultery and his order to murder Bathsheba’s husband?

The U.S. has given no protection to Middle East Christians, but the military protection the U.S. has given to Saudi Arabia, whose Sunni Islam is a great killer of Christians, is a big offense against Christians in Middle East.

Kings and presidents need from Christians not only a sweet and positive voice. They need also a prophetic voice, which is not always positive.

May God raise U.S. evangelicals to be the necessary prophetic Nathan that Trump needs.

Anti-Marxist Conscience of the Brazilian Evangelical

By Julio Severo

A people with no memory is not able to build a good future. So it is fundamental to remember those who played a vital role in the formation of the anti-Marxist conscience of Brazilian evangelicals.

Even though many American missionaries had a significant influence in this formation, the most important impact came from American televangelists, who had a vastly higher reach of audiences, both evangelical and non-evangelical.

Pat Robertson in 1978

In 1978, Brazilian TV Tupi broadcast, from Monday to Friday, “The 700 Club,” hosted by charismatic televangelist Rev. Pat Robertson, a Baptist minister who was actively involved in anticommunist awareness efforts. His shows, which had room for the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, where Robertson received supernatural revelations about problems God wanted to solve in his TV viewers, were especially known by testimonies of people impacted and transformed by God’s move. There were testimonies of former sorcerers, former Nazis and former communists.

“The 700 Club” touched a generation of Brazilians with anticommunist warnings and, above all, with the transforming message of the living Gospel.

Anticommunism had a major role in Robertson’s ministry. In “Pat Robertson: A Life and Legacy” (Eerdmans, 2010), author David Edwin Harrell Jr. says:

“In addition to his vehement opposition to anyone who would compromise Israel's land claims, Robertson son despised socialism anywhere in the world, including in Israel. During his campaign for the presidency, he told the National Press Club: "I told one of my very good Jewish friends in Washington that I did not think the United States taxpayers should underwrite socialist operations in Israel which were failing in many respects.”

In 1979 the weekly show of Pentecostal televangelist Jimmy Swaggart began to be broadcast in Brazil. As Robertson, Swaggart, who was an Assemblies of God minister, had a decisive anti-Marxist impact on Brazilian audiences, always warning against the communist threat.

Jimmy Swaggart in the 1980s

Notwithstanding that in the early 1980 Brazil was under military rule, which was supposed to be more conservative, Ronald Reagan, the conservative U.S. president, was not admired. Swaggart helped, among evangelicals, to dispel the negative image that the Brazilian media presented of Reagan, who was, in his generation, the greatest fighter against communism. No one in Brazil did more than Swaggart to present Reagan as a dedicated evangelical with a political calling against the red monster.

Besides, there was the Open Doors Mission, with its reports about Christians suffering in communist governments. There were the books by Rev. Richard Wurmbrand, a Jewish Lutheran minister who suffered under the communist dictatorship in Romania. And there were the books of Bethany House Publishers: “God’s Smuggler,” a testimony by Brother Andrew, showing that the biggest weapon against communism is the Bible. Another important Bethany book was “Ivan,” written by Myrna Grant, about a young Russian soldier who was tortured and martyred in the Soviet Union. Before his death, Ivan had several supernatural visions of Heaven and he received visits from angels. It was a powerful anticommunist encouragement for evangelicals in Brazil.

Pat Robertson and Jimmy Swaggart on a large scale and U.S. missionaries on a smaller scale were used by God to form the anti-Marxist conscience of Brazilian evangelicals. No one in Brazil did more than them in this formation.

Brazil is eternally indebted to U.S. televangelists and missionaries for their unselfish dedication in the formation of the Brazilian evangelical conscience.
