Evangelist Pat Robertson: Earthquake damage in Washington Monument �is a sign from the Lord�
The Rev. Pat Robertson, who once said his prayers turned a hurricane away from Washington, D.C., feels quake damage to the Washington Monument may carry a message from �the Lord.�
The TV evangelist cited a four-foot crack in the Washington Monument, caused by Tuesday�s 5.8 earthquake, as a possible sign from the supernatural.� He did not discuss greater damage inflicted on spires of the Washington Cathedral.
�Ladies and gentlemen I don�t want to get weird on this so please take it for what it�s worth,� the Rev. Pat, a former Republican presidential candidate, told his TV audience.
�But it seems to me the Washington Monument is a symbol of America�s power.� It has been the symbol of our great nation, we look at that monument and say this is one nation under God.
�Now, there�s a crack in it and it�s opening up.� Is that a sign from the Lord?� Is that something that has significance or is it just result of an earthquake? You judge, but I just want to bring that to your attention.�
Robertson went on to say:� �It seems to me symbolic. When Jesus was crucified and when he died the curtain in the Temple was rent from top to bottom and there was a tear and it was extremely symbolic.� Is this symbolic? You judge.�
It�s not the first time Robertson has been heard on �acts of God.�
A huge storm, Hurricane Gloria, threatened the Eastern Seaboard in 1985.� Robertson took to the air on �The 700 Club� and prayed:
�In the name of Jesus, we command you to stop where you are and move northeast, away from harm.�
The storm moved, but it headed northeast and scored a direct hit on Long Island, causing millions of dollars in damage.
