Rudy Giuliani,Pat Robertson and the Bible

This is from the Borowitz report www.borowitzreport.com/

Many are puzzled as to why Pat Robertson would endorse Rudy. Why would Pat Robertson support a presidential candidate

who is pro-choice and pro-gay. He even made a statement that he hopes that one day, when gay marriage is legal in 

New York, he can marry a gay couple he is close to.

On the other hand, Pat Robertson wants Jesus to come soon. Therefore, I think Pat Robertson understands that the Bush

administration hasn't acted quickly enough to bomb Iran, hastening the second coming.

However, if Rudy is elected president, the U.S. would be more likely to initiate a major conflagration with Iran hastening

the second coming of Christ.

Pat Robertson Says Giuliani Presidency Appears in Book of Revelation

Rudy Would Usher in Biblical ‘End Days,’ Evangelist Says

One day after endorsing former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for president, televangelist Pat Robertson explained his decision, saying that a Giuliani presidency features prominently in the Book of Revelation.

In his endorsement announcement the day before, Rev. Robertson had made reference to Mr. Giuliani’s tenure as “America’s Mayor,” but did not indicate that the Republican frontrunner was a key player in the Bible’s most apocalyptic book.

In his statement today, however, the televangelist made it clear that “in order for the Second Coming to occur, the world needs to end, and Rudy Giuliani is just the man for that job.”

Rev. Robertson said that he was “confident” that within weeks of his inauguration, Mr. Giuliani would usher in the “end days” that are a staple of Bible prophecy.

In praising Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Robertson had critical words for the current resident of the White House, President George W. Bush: “President Bush got us on the road to Armageddon, but it’s taking too darn long -- Rudy Giuliani will put us in the express lane.”

While the Giuliani camp initially welcomed the endorsement of the influential evangelist, the former New York mayor seemed less enthusiastic today about being identified as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

When asked by a reporter in Iowa about Mr. Robertson’s comments today, Mr. Giuliani replied, “9/11.”

Elsewhere, former Beatle Paul McCartney confirmed that he is dating a Metropolitan Transportation Authority board member, explaining, “Since my divorce from Heather, I’ve had to start taking the subway.”
