Pat Robertson is certain that 2007 will be a year of tragedy and calamity for citizens of the United States. The following is a message from God via our former presidential candidate and living prophet:

“‘I’m not saying necessarily nuclear, the Lord didn’t say nuclear,’ Mr Robertson said on his television show The 700 Club. ‘It’ll be mass killing, possibly millions of people, major cities.

“‘The evil people will come after this country and there’s a possibility, not a possibility, a definite certainty, that chaos is going to rule.”

That’s quite a bomb to drop. Keep in mind that our prophet has been wrong before. In fact, he said nearly the same thing in 1980, which was largely not a year of “sorrow and bloodshed” (although Christina Aguilera was born on 12/18/1980).

So, be on guard come July 1; come what may. And get ready to combat the myth of redemptive violence with creative non-violence. Beat those swords and spears into plowshares and pruning hooks. But no matter what, make this year the first of many in service of the Kingdom of God.

Go build a well or something.
