20But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

21And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

PAT ROBERTSON: Yes.

When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.- Deuteronomy 18: 21-22

Christians, I implore you, before you judge me for writing this post, read God’s own words in Deuteronomy 18. Once someone claims God has spoken through them and offers prophecy, should that prophecy not come true then they and their words are not to be feared for they are not speaking for the Lord.

Ironically God condemns such a person to death, as Pat Robertson has also done in calling for the assassination of Hugo Chavez. What of keeping the Ten Commandments, thou shalt not kill..

I’ve included the transcript of Pat Robertson talking about what he believes he may have heard God telling him for the later half of 2007. Clearly this man of God is simply a man of god. I don’t mean to belittle the efforts and good works of Pat Robertson, however people need to understand that this isn’t a game.

If you openly speculate on a topic that’s one thing. But attaching God’s name to such speculation is an evil action. There’s no spin, and no “track record” when it comes to prophecy. You are either serving the Most High God or you are not. Wrong once equals false prophet.

When God has a message there is no, “I think this is what I heard.” He put Jonah in the belly of a fish for trying to get out of speaking a prophecy. God doesn’t offer mankind inaudible prophecies that need guesswork from the “prophet” to maybe or maybe not put forth information that may or may not be accurate and may or may not be of God! Yet this is what Robertson presents.

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, later on, I want to share some of the things that I believe the Lord showed me. And I say it with humility. We see through a glass darkly. So I will share some of those findings from a recent prayer retreat that I had. And I like to do this at the first of the year to kind of say, “Here’s what I feel or I feel the Lord is saying is going to happen.”

TERRY MEEUWSEN: We had a wonderful time of prayer as we ushered in the new year yesterday.

PAT ROBERTSON: Oh, marvelous. Marvelous.

TERRY MEEUWSEN: It was great.

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, we’ll be talking about that. And I think people, Terry, are interested in finding out, since we’re talking about 2007—I’ve been away for a prayer retreat. And I’ve put these things out with humility, but nevertheless, I have a relatively good track record. Sometimes I’ve missed.

Contrary to what Pat Robertson wants you to believe… “track records” are unacceptable. God is accurate 100% of the time. A “glass darkly” is no excuse for being wrong when speaking of prophecy from God Almighty. Prophecy is an EXACT science, not a hit or miss Nostradamus like unfolding of half truths or near hits.

TERRY MEEUWSEN: And without doubt, every year, as you seek God, I guess this is His promise to all of us. But as you go away and seek Him for the coming year, God shows you some amazing things.

PAT ROBERTSON: The first thing, Terry, that I think is God’s Word to His people, to the believers worldwide, not just here in America, and the promise is that this year is going to be a year of extraordinary miracles. And if I’m hearing the Lord right, there are such extraordinary things that are going to take place: victory over demonic powers, victory of healing, some dramatic miracles taking place in people’s lives. And the Lord said it’s going to seem to the people like Heaven has come down to earth. It’s going to be that good. It’s going to be really an extraordinary demonstration of God’s power. The other thing He said was that this is the final year of the great demonstration of His grace to the world. For the last 12 years, we have evangelism unprecedented in countries like India and Indonesia and Nigeria and so forth. And CBN right now, we have recorded somewhere in the neighborhood of 461 million decisions since the fall of communism. Well, that is going to come, I think, to an end, at least that great anointing. Well, the other thing I felt was that evil men, evil people, are going to try to do evil things to us and to others during the last part of this year. I don’t know whether it’ll be in the fall or September or later on, but it’ll be the second half, somehow, of 2007. There will be some very serious terrorist attacks. The evil people will come after this country. And there’s a possibility that—not a possibly, a definite certainty that chaos is going to rule, and the Lord said that the politicians will not have any solutions for it. There’s just going to be chaos. And, of course, we saw chaos in the Gulf after Katrina. The politicians had no answers.

Most Christians don’t realize the catch phrase here. however, many younger Americans familiar with the Internet have at one point in time heard the phrase Order out of Chaos or in Latin, ORDO AB CHAO.

This line of thinking is also known as Hegelian Dialect, thesis/antithesis,/synthesis, as well as problem/reaction/solution. The key is that someone creates disorder in order to then manipulate people into their line of thinking.

In otherwords, create a problem, manipulate reaction, and then present a solution that everyone would have hated prior to the introduction of said problem, yet they will now cling to in the aftermath of the reaction.
