Pat Robertson, Jerusalem and Armageddon

Advertisement

The Christian Broadcasting Network offers up a fairly balanced report on the future of Jerusalem, featuring what essentially comes down to a debate between the Orthodox Union’s Nathan Diament and Americans for Peace Now’s Oir Nir (OK, OK, two Jews, no Palestinains, but Nir does a decent job explaing the other side). But what makes the high degree of balance so stirking is what comes afterwards from Pat Robertson — not only does he make clear that a division of Jerusalem would be a bad idea for various practical reasons, he makes it clear that such an arrangement does not line up with the plans for Armageddon and the return of Jesus.
