CBN’s Pat Robertson said Tuesday he sensed God told him President Trump would win re-election but the country subsequently “will be torn apart” and Muslim countries will declare war on Israel.
Robertson, speaking on the 700 Club, said he “was praying on Sunday saying, ‘God please tell me how it’s gonna happen’” and then sensed he had received a “word” from the Lord. CBN Newslabeled it a prophecy. Robertson himself said it was “according to what I believe the Lord told me.”
“I hope I’ve got the word, but first of all, I want to say without question, Trump is going to win the election. And that doesn’t mean you sit home and don’t vote – that means you get out and do everything you can,” Robertson said.
After Trump wins and is inaugurated in January, Robertson said, “trouble is going to happen.”
“He’s going to be challenged by the Chinese as you couldn’t believe, [he] will be faced probably with some kind of a war,” Robertson said. “The North Koreans are going to have nuclear weapons; they’re gonna threaten us. The Russians are gonna do everything they can. The Turks have got their things going.
“And after Trump is sworn in, we’re going to see civic disobedience in our America that will just be mind-boggling; the country will be torn apart,” Robertson said. “… There will be at least two attempts on the president’s life. And it’s going to be very difficult. So I would just urge you … you should pray for him.”
Amidst this turmoil, Ezekiel 38 will be fulfilled, Robertson said. The passage references God’s protection of Israel.
“It will be the opportunity for” Iran and other Muslim countries “to come together against Israel. And that’s what Ezekiel says is going to happen.”
“They’re going to say, ‘Because America is so occupied, we are therefore going to invade Israel.’ There’s gonna be [an] opportunity to crush and destroy Israel. And so, there’s going to be a tremendous war against Israel. But the Bible says God Himself is going to defend Israel.”
It won’t be a nuclear war, Robertson said, but “God Himself is going to wipe out that horde of people that are coming against Israel.”
“The next thing is going to happen is that God is going to bring a period of great peace,” Robertson said.
Robertson urged the audience to pray. Referencing the Second Coming of Christ, he added, “The angels don’t know [the date], and only the Father knows it, so I’m not saying this is the Second Coming.”
“But I am saying there are things that people have thought would be during a millennial time with the coming of Jesus, but it will happen in our lifetime,” Robertson said.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:6-14
