Robertson Predicts ‘Triumph’ in Second Bush Term
Pat Robertson, who began last year with a prediction that President Bush would win re-election in “a blowout,” says he has another word from the Lord.

On the Jan. 3 broadcast of Christian Broadcasting Network’s “The 700 Club,” Robertson made predictions he said were based on what God told him during a recent prayer retreat. His forecast includes a second term of “triumph” for President Bush, whom Robertson predicted will get Social Security and tax reform passed and will put conservative judges on federal courts.

Spiritually speaking, Robertson said to look for “a tremendous incidence of miracles” in America and for revival in the Muslim world.

“I’m always reluctant to say, ‘God said this,’” Robertson predicated his remarks. “There’s some times it’s unmistakable; the voice like shakes you. Otherwise you believe you’re hearing [God’s voice.] So I put that out with great trepidation, but I have some very encouraging news.”

On the economy, Robertson said, “Again, 2005 is going to be a year of extraordinary prosperity for this nation and for CBN.”

“And I think the American stock market is going to surge upward, if I heard from the Lord.”

“Don’t go out and buy stock on my recommendation,” he said, “but that’s what I feel in my heart. The Lord was saying it’s going to be a super good year.”

Robertson went on to say the Lord “has some very encouraging news for George Bush.”

“What I heard is that Bush is now positioned to have victory after victory, and that his second term is going to be one of triumph, which is pretty strong stuff.”...

...Concerning the Supreme Court, Robertson predicted: “The vendetta against religion in America is about to end…. [God] will remove judges from the Supreme Court quickly, and their successors will refuse to sanction the attacks on religious faith.”...
