Pat and his merry band of hucksters have been rooting for the end times since forever.

If God’s directing Putin, then that’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of Pat’s brand.

Pat says we all have the power to literally raise the dead.

When PR dies, it will be interesting to see if his son resurrects him or lets PR stay dead so son can inherit the worldly wealth and kingdom of CBN and Regent University.

18. It's all about the Apocalypse: Another disturbing reason behind the right wing's pro-Israel obsessio
Mon Feb 28, 2022, 07:34 PM
Feb 2022

I am Jewish and I have been following the RW religious obsession with Israel for a long time. This obsession is based on the belief that Jews and the state of Israel are necessary for second coming.https://www.rawstory.com/2019/02/apocalypse-another-disturbing-reason-behind-right-wings-pro-israel-obsession/

Politics professor Elizabeth Oldmixon explained in an interview with Vox the strange thread of Christianity that fosters an apocalyptic vision the inspires much of the right-wing support for Israel.

“These are the folks who believe that there will be a millennium in the future, a golden age, where Christ reigns on Earth, [and] they believe that before Christ will return, there will be a tribulation where Christ defeats evil,” she said. “There will be natural disasters and wars, and perhaps an Antichrist, as the book of Revelations notes. Then at the end of that period, the people of the Mosaic covenant, including the Jews, will convert. Then after their conversion, the great millennium starts.”

She continued: “You have this group of people looking around for signs of the end time, and in the 20th century when Israel was founded, this was seen as a major sign. This was electrifying for that community because the gathering of all the Jews in exile to the Holy Land is a prerequisite for all of these events unfolding. So for the subset of evangelicals in the 20th century, support for Israel became a really, really important political position.”

And as evangelical Christianity grew into a central part of the GOP’s coalition, pro-Israel policies became cemented in the party’s ideology.

The alliance between the evangelicals and pro-Israeli Jews, though, is a peculiar partnership. The Christians enter into the bargain with the assumption that, when they reach their goal of the apocalypse, any Jews will either become Christians or go to hell. But their pro-Israel allies don’t seem to mind this much, perhaps because they don’t believe this version of the apocalypse will ever actually come to be — and as long as it is just a fantasy, their interests and those of evangelicals remain aligned.

Jews and supporters of Israel are aware of the reason why these religious nut jobs are supporting Israel. Israel needs all of the help it can get and so plays on and uses these religious nut jobs. The downside to these nut cases is that they want Jews to convert to Christianity and my kids and my friends' kids have been targeted by these nut cases.

Robertson's latest pronouncement is part of a long-established pattern.

26. Pat Robertson says Putin was 'compelled by God' to invade Ukraine to fulfill Armageddon prophecy

This "prophecy" is based on the concept that Jews and Israel are necessary for the second coming. As a Jew, this prophecy is disturbing but has been useful in getting Israel support




Televangelist Pat Robertson said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “compelled by God” in his decision to invade Ukraine, suggesting that Russia’s attacks are a precursor to an end-times battle in Israel......

“I think you can say, well, Putin’s out of his mind. Yes, maybe so,” said Robertson, 91. “But at the same time, he’s being compelled by God. He went into the Ukraine, but that wasn’t his goal. His goal was to move against Israel, ultimately.”



....On Monday, Robertson again indicated that the end of the world was near, thanks to Putin and Russia. Although Turkey has issued a statement of support for Ukraine and is not backing Russia’s invasion, Robertson claimed without evidence that Turkey would “come together” with Russia. He went on to say how the area that includes Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey “is going to be mobilized against Israel in the latter days.”
