> COMING UP.

PAT RETURNS TO THE STUDIO TO

ANSWER YOUR VOICE MAIL

QUESTIONS.

HEAR HIM WEIGH IN ON THE ISSUES

THAT MATTER TO YOU.

SUCH AS, IS THE ANTICHRIST

ALIVE TODAY?

CAN YOU LOSE YOUR SALVATION?

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW BIRTH

DEFECTS?

SHOULD A NEW CHRISTIAN REVERSE

A SEX CHANGE?

AND MANY MORE.

GET READY FOR A SUPERSIZED

QUESTION SESSION ON TODAY'S 700

CLUB.

> WELCOME TO THIS EDITION OF

THE 700 CLUB.

I AM PAT ROBERTSON.

IT IS SO GOOD TO BE BACK WITH

YOU AND WENDY IS HERE WITH ME

AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A

GREAT TIME.

IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER.

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN WAY TOO

LONG.

I'M SO GLAD TO BE HERE.

SO THESE ARE YOUR CALLS FROM

ALL ACROSS AMERICA, ACROSS

CANADA.

YOU HAVE LEFT YOUR VOICE MAIL

QUESTIONS AND WE ARE GOING TO

HEAR YOUR VOICES.

THIS IS YOUR PROGRAM AND WE'LL

GIVE YOU ANSWERS AS BEST WE

CAN.

BUT FIRST, THERE IS

SOMETHING WITH TREMENDOUS

PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE.

EZEKIEL 38 BEING PLAYED OUT

BEFORE OUR EYES.

A PERFECT STORM.

A GROWING ALLIANCE BETWEEN

RUSSIA, IRAN AND TURKEY.

READ YOUR BIBLE, IT IS ALL IN

THERE.

AND YOU HAVE GOT A WEAK U.S.

PRESIDENT AND A RACE TOWARD A

NUCLEAR BOMB FOR IRAN.

> YESTERDAY THE LEADERS OF

THE DANGEROUS ALLIANCE MET IN

TEHRAN FOR AN INTERNATIONAL

SUMMIT.

THAT COULD MEAN DISASTER FOR

ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES.

CHRIS MITCHELL HAS THAT STORY

FROM JERUSALEM.

Reporter: ONE MAJOR SUBJECT

FOR THE THREE LEADERS, HOW TO

DIVIDE THEIR SPHERES OF

INFLUENCE INSIDE SYRIA.

AN ISSUE OF GREAT CONCERN TO

ISRAEL.

IN AGAIN THE WORK OF RUSSIA,

IRAN AND TURKEY CONTRIBUTING TO

A COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT OF

THE CRISIS IN SYRIA IS

EFFECTIVE.

IRAN CALLED TO REMOVE ALL

U.S. TROOPS EAST OF THE

EUPHRATES RIVER AND AN END TO

ISRAELI AIR STRIKES INSIDE

SYRIA.

THE RUSSIANS WILL DECIDE TO

LIMIT THE FREEDOM OF ACTION.

SAY ISRAELI AIR FORCE IN SYRIA.

Reporter: THIS COULD

REPRESENT A THREAT TO ISRAEL.

SINCE IT NEEDS FREEDOM OF

ACTION INSIDE SYRIA TO STOP

IRAN'S MILITARY AND THE FLOW OF

PROXIES LIKE HEZBOLLAH INSIDE

LEBANON.

HERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST,

MANY OBSERVERS SEE THE SUMMIT

BETWEEN THE THREE MAJOR POWERS

IN THE REGION AS A SIGNAL TO

THE UNITED STATES.

IT IS A CLEAR SIGNAL THAT

RUSSIA IS A STRONG POWER AND

TWO OTHER STRONG MIDDLE EASTERN

POWERS SUCH AS TURKEY AND IRAN,

THOSE ARE THE MOST POPULOUS

STATES IN THE REGION, WORKING

TOGETHER, INCORPORATING AND

THEY MAY INCORPORATE OBVIOUSLY

AGAINST THE AMERICAN INTEREST.

Reporter: MIDDLE EAST

INTEREST EMPHOTOGRAPH INBAR

SAYS BOTH ALLIES OF THE U.S. IN

THE REGION SEE AMERICA AS A

WEAK POWER UNDER THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION.

BIDEN IS NOT CONSIDERED

SERIOUSLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

NOT CONSIDERED A SERIOUS ACTOR

BECAUSE AMERICA IS WEAK.

AND LEADERS ARE TREATING WITH

RESPECT ONLY POWERFUL LEADERS

AND POWERFUL NATIONS THAT ARE

READY TO ACT MILITARILY.

ANALYSTS WARN THE

COMBINATION OF THE GROWING

ALLIANCE OF RUSSIA AND TURKEY

AND IRAN ALONG WITH A WEEK U.S.

ADMINISTRATION AND IRAN RACING

TOWARD A NUCLEAR BOMB ALL PUT

INCREASING PRESSURE ON ISRAEL.

IN THIS ISSUE, IT IS QUITE

CLEAR THE IRANIANS ARE

PROGRESSING QUITE QUICKLY TO

HAVE THE BOMB, TO HAVE THE

MISSILES TO CARRY IT, THEY HAVE

TO OVERCOME THE ORGANIZATION

AND THIS MAKES ISRAELI ACTION

QUITE URGENT.

Reporter: CHRIS MITCHELL,

CBN NEWS, JERUSALEM.

> WELL THAT IS HAPPENING,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

I WANT TO TELL YOU, READ YOUR

BIBLE, EZEKIEL 38 IS GOING TO

BE FULFILLED X THAT IS GOING TO

BE THE NEXT THING IN PROPHESY.

AND THERE IT IS.

PERSIAN SHA, TURKEY, IT IS ALL

THERE.

IT IS ALL LINING UP AGAINST

ISRAEL IN THE LATTER DAYS.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE

SAYS?

THERE IT IS, RIGHT IN FRONT OF

YOU.

WHAT IS THE TIMELINE THOUGH?

PEOPLE AE WONDERING YOU KNOW.

WELL IT IS NOW.

NOW.

THIS IS THE NEXT MAJOR THING

IN PROPHESY.

WOW.

EZEKIEL 38.

IT IS HAPPENING.

IT IS SETTING UP.

I MEAN WITH TURKEY MAKING A

DEAL WITH RUSSIA AND SYRIA

AGAINST ISRAEL, IT IS ALL

LINING UP.

OKAY.

READ YOUR BIBLE.

READ YOUR BIBLE.

ALL RIGHT.

WE GOT SOME EXCITING

QUESTIONS.

COLLEEN FROM BURBANK,

CALIFORNIA STARTS US OFF WITH

THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

PAT, MY QUESTION IS WHEN

CHRIST RETURNS TO EARTH, WILL

PEOPLE NOT DIE ANY MORE?

OR WILL IT BE AFTER THE 1000

YEARS OF PEACE THAT THERE WILL

COME A TIME WHEN PEOPLE WON'T

DIE ANY MORE?

WELL, I THINK THAT IN THE

RESURRECTION PEOPLE ARE NO

LONGER GOING TO DIE BUT THEY

WILL BE DYING UNTIL JESUS COMES

BACK AGAIN.

I THINK OUR SPIRITS WILL LIVE

AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE.

BUT I DON'T SEE ANY CESSATION

OF HUMAN LIFE.

PEOPLE WILL BE GOING ON YOU

KNOW, MARRYING, GIVING AND

MARRYING, DOING ALL THAT STUFF

UNTIL THE LORD COMES BACK.

THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO

HAPPEN.

BUT HIS RETURN, AS WE ALL KNOW,

IS MUCH SOONER THAN WHAT

HAPPENS WE EVER THOUGHT.

WOW.

OKAY.

GOOD ANSWER,.

> JIM FROM KANSAS WITH THIS

QUESTION FOR PAT.

COULD YOU TELL ME IS IT

NECESSARY TO PRAY OUT LOUD FOR

GOD TO HEAR ME?

OR WHEN I SAY MY PRAYERS AT

NIGHT BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP, IS

IT OKAY THAT I THINK THROUGH

THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY?

JIM, THE LORD KNOWS YOUR

THOUGHTS.

HE KNOWS OUR DESIRE BEFORE WE

EVEN ASK.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU

READ THE BIBLE, THERE IS

SOMETHING ABOUT VERBALIZING

WHAT YOU WANT GOD TO DO.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU SAY TO THE

MOUNTAIN BE MOVED.

YOU TELL THE DISEASE TO LEAVE.

YOU SPEAK TO DEMONS TO BE

APART.

YOU CAN PRAY AND GOD WILL HEAR

YOUR PRAYERS.

BUT THERE COMES A TIME YOU NEED

TO VERBALIZE THEM.

IT DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION,

BUT I DO THINK IT IS VERY

IMPORTANT.

JESUS SAID THIS TIME GO WITHOUT

BY PRAYER TRYING TO CAST A

DEMON.

THAT IS THE KIND THAT NEEDS

PRAYER.

MOST OF THEM COME UP IN WORDS.

> SUSANNE FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA

WITH THIS QUESTION FOR.

SEES US IS SAID WORK WHILE

IT IS DAY FOR THERE WILL COME A

TIME WHEN NO MAN CAN WORK.

WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT?

I THINK WHAT HE IS SAYING IS

IT IS GOING TO BE A TIME OF

SUCH STRESS IN OUR WORLD.

HE SAID HE SET THOSE DAYS WOULD

BE SHORTENED.

THOSE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED.

SO I THINK THE TIME IS COMING

WHEN PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW AFRAID

TO GO OUT AND SPREAD THE GOSPEL

WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO DO

SO.

BUT THIS HAPPENED FROM TIME TO

TIME.

YOU KNOW IT IS NOT JUST ONE

TIME.

THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FREE TO

SPEAK THE GOSPEL.

AND THERE HAS BEEN A TERRIFIC

OPPRESSION AGAINST THEM.

THEN ANOTHER TIME THEY HAVE

BEEN FREE.

THEN THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO.

SO IT HAS HAPPENED THROUGHOUT

HISTORY.

> OUR NEXT CALLER IS B. J.

FROM TEXAS.

MY QUESTION IS, IF I DECIDE

TO GIVE UP ALL TREATMENT AND

JUST LET NATURE TAKES ITS

COURSE, IS THAT CONSIDERED

SUICIDE?

I DO NOT THINK SO.

I THINK THE CURRENT TREATMENT

OF CHEMOTHERAPY KILLS CELLS, IT

TAKES AWAY THE PERSON'S ABILITY

TO FIGHT.

AND I THINK THAT WHAT IS BEING

DONE AS CANCER TREATMENT IS NOT

APPROPRIATE.

SO WERE YOU TO STOP TREATMENT

AND TRUST THE LORD AND BEGIN TO

SPEAK DAILY, I HEARD ONE VERY

EMINENT PASTOR TALKING ABOUT

HIS MOTHER WHO HAD CANCER AND

SHE WAS WASTING AWAY TO DIE.

AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD NOT

ALLOW THE WORD CANCER TO BE

SPOKEN IN HER PRESENCE.

ALL SHE COULD DO WAS SPEAK THE

WORD OF GOD.

AND SHE LIVED TO BE MANY YEARS

OLD, 88 OR SOMETHING.

I LOVE THAT.

AND IT WAS A MARVELOUS

TESTIMONY.

BUT PLEASE, I CANNOT TELL

SOMEBODY TO STOP TREATMENT,

THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE.

DON'T EVER SAY YOU HEARD IT

HERE, BECAUSE I WOULD NOT

COUNCIL ANYBODY TO DO THAT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IF PEOPLE

SAY THIS IS ALL THEY CAN DO, I

BELIEVE GOD WILL TAKE OVER.

BUT I DO THINK CHEMOTHERAPY IS

ABSOLUTELY THE WRONG ANSWER FOR

CANCER.

THEY HAVE GOT TO HAVE SOME

OTHER WAY AND THEY ARE TALKING

ABOUT STEM CELL THERAPY, THEY

ARE TALKING ABOUT OTHER KINDS

OF TREATMENT.

BUT THE CHEMO, WITHOUT

QUESTION, KILLS THE CELLS AND

TAKES AWAY THE PERSON'S ABILITY

TO FIGHT.

WELL WITH ALL THE MONEY THAT

GOES INTO RESEARCH, YOU WOULD

THINK BY NOW WE WOULD HAVE

SOMETHING BETTER.

YOU WOULD THINK SO.

BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY KEEP

PLAYING ON THE EDGES.

YEAH.

BUT I DO THINK WE ARE

LOOKING AT SOMETHING CALLED

INFLAMMATION.

AND YOU KNOW THERE IS SO MANY

PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING AFFECTED

BY INFLAMMATION AND CANCER.

THERE ARE SO MANY TOXINS IN THE

AIR, SO MANY CARCINOGENIC

MATERIAL IN THE WATER, IT IS

JUST TERRIBLE.

SO MUCH FOR THAT.

I CAN'T SIT HERE AS A DOCTOR

AND GIVE YOU ADVICE.

IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE.

> THIS QUESTION IS CHRIS FROM

NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

GO AHEAD.

MY QUESTION IS, I'M PRAYING

TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND

DIRECTION AND I'M LOOKING FOR

AN ANSWER.

I'M NOT HEARING ANYTHING.

I KEEP PRAYING, AND SITTING IN

SILENCE.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD

BE DOING?

IS THERE A SCRIPTURE I SHOULD

BE READING, TO GET THE ANSWERS

IN.

THE BIBLE SAYS SOMETHING.

I THINK YOU OUGHT TO TAKE THIS

TO HEART.

WHEN YOU STAND PRAYING, IF YOU

HAVE AGAINST ANY, FORGIVE SO

THAT YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER MIGHT

FORGIVE YOU.

I THINK YOU MIGHT SEARCH YOUR

HEART TO SEE IF THERE IS

ANYTHING IN THERE THAT IS

PREVENTING GOD'S MOVEMENT.

BUT HE SAYS IF YOU HAVE AGAINST

ANY FORGIVE AS YOUR HEAVENLY

FATHER MIGHT FORGIVE YOU.

SO I DO THINK YOU SHOULD

CONSTANTLY STRETCH YOUR HEART.

YOU MANAGED YOUR HUSBAND OR YOU

MANAGED YOUR WIFE OR YOU

MANAGED YOUR PARENTS OR YOU

MANAGED YOUR SUPERVISOR.

ARE THERE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE

THAT CAUSE YOU BIT TERRENCE

THAT YOU ARE RESENTFUL ABOUT?

AND THAT IS THE HEART OF YOUR

HEART.

AND THEN BEGIN TO DECLARE.

I WILL HEAR THE WORD OF THE

LORD AND WAIT ON HIM AND EXPECT

IT.

GOD WILL SPEAK TO YOU.

BUT THE BIBLE SAYS BE STILL AND

KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP TALKING ALL

THE TIME AND XPECT O EAR

FROM GOD.

SO BE STILL AND LISTEN AND

WATCH WHAT HE DOES.

AMEN.

THAT IS THE HARDEST PART, ISN'T

IT?

> CONSTANCE, FROM WICHITA,

KANSAS HAS THIS QUESTION.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR PAT.

WHEN DOES IT MEAN TO TAKE

COMMUNION UNWORTHILY?

WHAT IT MEANS, VERY SIMPLY,

IS IF YOUR HEART ISN'T RIGHT, I

HEARD A TEACHING JUST A COUPLE

OF DAYS AGO.

HOW COME THEY GOT STRUCK DOWN?

THEY WERE LYING TO THE HOLY

SPIRIT BUT THE POWER OF GOD WAS

SO PRESENT AND WHEN YOU TAKE

COMMUNION, IF YOU HAVE SIN IN

YOUR HEART, AND YOU ARE COMING

BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AND

YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS

BECAUSE OF THIS, SOME PEOPLE

ARE SICK AND SOME DIE.

AND THEY USED TO SAY IN THE

BAPTIST CHURCH, WELL IT IS A

MEMORIAL.

IT ISN'T MUCH OF A MEMORIAL.

I MEAN, IT IS DANGEROUS STUFF.

THE AVERAGE YOU TAKE COMMUNION,

YOU HAVE HAD AN ADULTEROUS

AFFAIR BUT I'M GOING TO ACCEPT

THE LORD.

IF YOU REALLY FEAR GOD, THAT IS

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE UNWORTHY.

DO YOU HAVE SIN IN YOUR HEART?

AND YOU SHOULD NOT GO INTO THE

COMMUNION SERVICE IF YOU KNOW

THAT YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING

THAT IS REBELLIOUS AGAINST GOD

HIMSELF.

GOOD WORDS.

> ALL RIGHT OUR NEXT CALLER,

JENNIFER FROM CINCINNATI, OHIO.

SOMETHING THAT HAS ALWAYS

CONFUSED ME IS THE PROMISES OF

GOD.

GOD MADE A PROMISE WITHIN

SCRIPTURE IT WAS TO A SPECIFIC

PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE IN A

SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCE.

SO HOW CAN WE BE ASSURED THOSE

SAME PROMISES APPLY TO US?

VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN VERY

DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES?

I THINK, JENNIFER, THAT IS

VERY PERCEPTIVE, BECAUSE INDEED

WHEN YOU READ THE BIBLE,

CERTAIN PROMISE WERE MADE.

IF MY PEOPLE THAT ARE CALLED BY

MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES

AND PRAY, GOD IS TALKING TO THE

ENTIRE CONGREGATION OF ISRAEL.

MY PEOPLE CALLED MY NAME IN

ISRAEL.

AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS.

BUT, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE

TIMES, THOUGH, THAT GOD WILL

QUICKEN TO YOUR HEART SOMETHING

THAT IS IN THE BIBLE.

IT WAS MEANT TO ANOTHER GROUP

BUT YOU KNOW IT IS THE SAME

TRUTH AND THEY ARE UNIVERSAL

TRUTHS FOUND IN THE WAY PEOPLE

ARE DEALT WITH.

I FIND I CAN LEARN MORE FROM

THE SCREW UPS OF THE PEOPLE IN

THE BIBLE WHERE THEY MADE

MISTAKES, AND GOD DEALT WITH

THEM.

SO YOU SAY DOES THAT APPLY TO

YOU?

YES.

WELL I WAS PRAYING ONE DAY AND

I WAS READING ISAIAH 58, AND

GOD BEGAN TO SHOW ME THIS IS

THE PATH I HAVE CHOSEN TO DEAL

BREAD TO THE HUNGRY, IF YOU SEE

THE NAKED CLOTHE THEM, IF YOU

SEE THE HUNG HOMELESS, TAKE

THEM INTO THE HOUSE.

IF YOU DO THAT YOUR LIGHT WILL

GO FORTH SPEEDILY, ET CETERA,

ET CETERA, AND YOU'LL CALL ON

MY ANSWER.

I SAID I HAVE READ NEW

TESTAMENT AND THIS IS OLD

TESTAMENT.

BUT I THINK IT IS SO GOOD, AND

I'M GOING TO MAKE IT MINE.

I STARTED THAT DAY OPERATION

BLESSING.

SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE FED,

CLOTHED AND HOUSED ABOUT 400

MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR.

SO THAT PROMISE WAS YES, IT WAS

OLD TESTAMENT.

BUT I KNEW IT WAS FOR ME

PERSONALLY IN NEW TESTAMENT.

AND DOESN'T HE USE HOW HE

DEALT WITH ISRAEL, BOTH THE

BLESSINGS AND THE CURSES TO

EACH US?

ABSOLUTELY.

THERE IS NO QUESTION.

WE LEARN FROM THESE THINGS.

AND I BELIEVE THERE ARE

PRINCIPLES IN THE BIBLE THAT I

HAVE PUT DOWN AS LAWS OF THE

KINGDOM.

AND I THINK THEY APPLY TO

EVERYBODY.

ABSOLUTELY.

AMEN.

> ALL RIGHT WE HAVE A CALLER

FROM DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA.

IT IS SO NICE TO SEE THE TWO

OF YOU.

MY QUESTION, PAT IS IN PSALMS 1

WHEN IT SAYS THE REWARDS OF THE

WICKED, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

WELL THE REWARDS OF THE

WICKED ARE JUDGMENT AND DEATH.

THAT IS WHAT THE REWARD OF THE

WICKED IS.

YOU WILL SEE WITH YOUR EYES THE

REWARD OF THE WICKED.

IT MEANS GOD IS GOING TO PUNISH

THEM AND DEAL WITH THEM.

AND FOR THE RIGHTEOUS, THERE IS

ANOTHER THING.

BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DON'T

STAND IN THE COUNCIL OF THE

UNGODLY OR SIT AND SOIL THE

SCORN AND THAT SORT OF THING.

THERE IS A REWARD FOR GOD'S

PEOPLE.

BUT THE REWARD OF THE WICKED IS

TO BE CUT OFF FROM GOD AND BE

PUNISHED BY HIM.

YOU DON'T WANT THAT REWARD.

YOU SURE DON'T.

> JOHN FROM MURPHYSBORO,

TENNESSEE.

WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO

DIE, HAVING NEVER HEARD THE

GOSPEL FROM NO FAULT OF THEIR

OWN, CURRENTLY IN THE PAST

PRIOR TO CHRIST COMING FROM

HEAVEN?

WELL THERE ARE TWO THINGS IN

ANSWER TO THAT.

NUMBER ONE A VEILED REFERENCE

TO THE FACT THAT WHEN JESUS

DIED, THE PERIOD WHEN HE WAS

CRUCIFIED, AND BEFORE HIS

RESURRECTION THAT HE DESCENDED

INTO HELL AND PREACHED TO THOSE

IN BONDAGE.

SO THEY HAD A CHANCE.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, GOD

HAS REVEALED HIMSELF THROUGH

THE GREAT UNIVERSE THAT HE HAS

MADE.

AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THE STARS,

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE SUN, YOU

CAN LOOK AT THE MOVEMENT OF THE

PLANETS.

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE GRASS

GROWING.

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE WONDERS OF

GOD'S CREATION.

AND THROUGH THAT, YOU HAVE TO

TURN TO GOD.

AND YOU KNOW THEY TALKED ABOUT

THAT MAN WHO WAS MAKING IDOLS

AND PEOPLE WERE WORSHIPING

IDOLS AND HE REALIZED HIS HAND

WAS CREATING THESE IDOLS.

AND HE SAID I WANT TO WORSHIP

THE ONE WHO CREATED MY HAND

BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE MAKING

THESE IDOLS.

AND THAT IDOL WORSHIPER CAME TO

GOD, BECAUSE HE HAD ENOUGH

SENSE TO REALIZE.

AND GOD HAS GIVEN TO EVERY

HUMAN BEING A DESIRE TO SEEK

AFTER GOD AND TO FIND HIM.

THERE IS NO HUMAN BEING.

I DON'T CARE WHETHER THEY ARE

BUSH NATIVES OR WHOEVER THEY

ARE, WHO CAN'T LOOK AT THE

UNIVERSE AND THEIR OWN LIFE AND

CHILDREN AND EVERYTHING THEY

HAVE GOT AND THINK THERE'S GOT

TO BE SOMEBODY BEYOND THIS.

THE CREATION GIVES TESTIMONY TO

THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.

IT SURE DOES.

AMEN.

> LANA, FROM BROWNWOOD,

TEXAS.

DO YOU THINK THE ANTICHRIST

IS ALIVE RIGHT NOW IN THIS

WORLD?

I DON'T THINK SO.

I KNOW WHEN HITLER WAS HERE,

THEY THOUGHT HITLER WAS THE

ANTICHRIST.

THEY THOUGHT MUSSOLINI WAS THE

ANTICHRIST.

THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY.

BUT I CERTAINLY THINK WHEN YOU

LOOK AT THE MUSLIMS, WHO DENY

CHRIST, AND DENY THE EXISTENCE

OF HIM AND THE PREEMINENCE OF

JESUS CHRIST, AND SAY THAT HE

WILL SUBMIT TO ALLAH IN THE

FINAL DAYS, I THINK THAT COMES

CLOSER TO WHAT I WOULD EQUAL

ANTICHRIST.

BUT THE ANTICHRIST FIGURE AS

NOT YET COME ON THE SCENE,

ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY

PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY SOME

PEOPLE HAVE SAID HE LOOKS LIKE

THE ANTI CHRIST.

IT IS HARD TO SAY IS HE HERE?

IS HE NOT HERE?

HE COULD BE BORN.

HE COULD BE BORN.

ABSOLUTELY.

BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT.

> ALL RIGHT, COMING UP.

WE HAVE PAULA FROM TORONTO AND

STEVEN FROM HOUSTON.

YOUR VOICE MAIL QUESTIONS ARE

IN THE QUEUE.

ROUND TWO BEGINS RIGHT AFTER

THIS, SO STAY WITH US.

.

> WELCOME BACK TO THE 700

CLUB.

WE ARE SO EXCITED YOU ARE HERE

AND WE ARE SUPER EXCITED PAT IS

WITH US TODAY IN THE FLESH TO

WE ARE YOUR VOICE MAIL

QUESTIONS.

WE ARE GOING TO START WITH

LILLIAN FROM NEW YORK CITY TO

LEAD OFF ROUND TWO.

> PAT, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ABSENT

FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT

WITH THE LORD.

WELL, THANK YOU, LILLIAN.

THAT IS WHAT PAUL SAID.

WHEN I'M, HE SAID YOU KNOW, I'M

IN A STRAIT BETWEEN TWO WHETHER

TO BE APART AND BE WITH THE

LORD WHICH IS FAR BETTER OR TO

REMAIN IN THE FLESH WHICH IS

NEEDFUL FOR YOU.

IF I AM IN THE FLESH, PERHAPS

I'M ABSENT FROM THE LORD.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE OUT OF

THIS BODY AND WITH THE LORD.

AND HE IS JUST REFERRING TO HIS

OWN PERSONAL DESIRE AS TO WHAT

HE WOULD LIKE TO DO.

HE WOULD, HE SAID HE WOULD MUCH

BETTER BE WITH JESUS THAN HE

WOULD BE STAYING HERE.

HE KNOWS HIS SERVICE TO THE

CHURCH WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO

LIVE IN THIS WORLD.

BUT IF YOU ARE ABSENT FROM THE

BODY, YOU ARE WITH THE LORD IN

THE OTHER WAY.

OKAY.

AMEN.

> GEORGE FROM EL DORADO,

KANSAS WITH THIS QUESTION FOR

PAT.

I HAD A QUESTION I WANTED TO

KNOW IF A PERSON HAS ACCEPTED

CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR AND BEEN

BAPTIZED, GONE TO CHURCH AND

THEN CHANGED LIFESTYLE TO THE

LGBTQ LIFESTYLE, ARE THEY STILL

SAVED?

GEORGE, I WOULD HAVE TO KNOW

THE INDIVIDUAL TO SAY.

THE BIBLE IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT

IT IS VERY HARD TO, YOU KNOW

THE BIBLE WE THOUGHT BETTER OF

YOU.

BUT IT SAID THERE REMAINS NO

MORE SACRIFICE TO SOMEBODY THAT

DOES THAT.

BUT TO MOVE, TO SAY I KNOW GOD,

AND THEN GOING TO SOMETHING

THAT GOD SAYS IS AN ABOMINATION

DOES SEEM TO BE SKIRTING ON

DANGEROUS ICE.

BUT I'M NOT IN THE POSITION TO

SAY WELL, ALL RIGHT, THESE

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HELL, I

JUST CAN'T DO THAT.

I DON'T KNOW THE INDIVIDUALS.

BUT I WOULD SAY TO MOVE AWAY

FROM THE THINGS FROM GOD IS

VERY, VERY DANGEROUS.

AMEN.

> CHRIS FROM CHARLESTON,

SOUTH CAROLINA HAS THIS

QUESTION FOR PAT.

MY QUESTION IS, WHAT DOES

ABUNDANT LIFE LOOK LIKE?

I'M NOT SURE IF I'VE MISSED IT

OR WHAT.

JESUS SAID I HAVE COME AS

THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND I HAVE

IT MORE ABUNDANTLY.

THE ABUNDANT LIFE IS WALKING

WITH JESUS, OF HAVING HIS

MIRACLES.

HAVING HIM TALK TO YOU.

OF HAVING HIS BLESSING.

YOU KNOW, HE WILL BRING ALL

KINDS OF GOOD THINGS TO A

PERSON'S LIFE.

WELL I TALKED TO HIM, I'M

ASKING FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

AND JUST HIS PRESENCE IS SO

WONDERFUL.

THAT IS THE ABUNDANCE YOU WILL

HAVE.

ABUNDANCE OF JOY.

THAT IS WHAT THE ABUNDANT LIFE

IS.

IT ISN'T NECESSARILY A WHOLE

LOT OF MONEY AND PROSPERITY AND

THINGS LIKE THAT.

ALTHOUGH HE WILL GIVE THAT AS

WELL.

HE WILL WITHHOLD NO GOOD THING

FROM THEM WHO WALK UPRIGHTLY.

AND HIS LIFE IS ALWAYS

ABUNDANT.

YOU LOOK AT NATURE.

IT IS ABUNDANT.

HE DOESN'T STINT ON ANYTHING.

HE DOESN'T STINT ON A BEAUTIFUL

SUNSET.

HE DOESN'T STINT ON THE

FLOWERS.

HE DOESN'T STINT ON THE VARIETY

OF CREATURES THEY HAVE ON THIS

EARTH.

IT IS ABUNDANT AND THAT IS

GOD'S NATURE.

IT IS ABUNDANT.

HE IS NOT STINGY.

AND HE HAS GOT PLENTY.

HE NEVER RUNS OUT, ALL RIGHT?

HIS LOVE IS EXTRAVAGANT.

ABSOLUTELY.

> PAULA FROM TORONTO,

ONTARIO.

GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION.

WE KNOW THAT ABORTION IS A

SIN.

WHAT IF A PREGNANT WOMAN IS

ADVISED BY HER DOCTOR TO HAVE

AN ABORTION DUE TO HEALTH

REASONS AND SHE GOES AHEAD AND

GETS THE ABORTION?

IS THAT CONSIDERED A SIN IN THE

EYES OF GOD?

PAULA, AGAIN, IT DEPENDS ON

THE INDIVIDUAL.

IF IT IS THE LIFE OF THE

MOTHER, IF HAVING A BABY, SAY

IT IS AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY, AND

HAVING A BABY WILL KILL HER, I

THINK SELF-DEFENSE IS CERTAINLY

A REASON TO DO SOMETHING.

AND I, IT IS HARD TO SET DOWN

RULES FOR INDIVIDUALS WHAT IS

SIN, WHAT ISN'T SIN.

BUT I THINK THE BIBLE SAYS

WHATEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS

SIN.

AND I THINK WHAT DO YOU

BELIEVE?

BUT I THINK IF SOMEBODY IS

ADVISED THAT THE CARRYING OF A

BABY TO TERM WILL ACTUALLY

TERMINATE HER LIFE, THEN I

THINK THERE IS A REASON TO GO

FORWARD WITH THE TERMINATION OF

THE BABY.

BUT SOME PEOPLE DISAGREE.

THEY THINK YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T

DO THAT.

YOU TAKE CARE OF THE BABY AND

LET THE MOTHER DIE.

I DISAGREE WITH THAT, BUT I'M

SURE THERE ARE LEGITIMATE

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION.

YEAH, THAT IS A TOUGH CALL.

THANKS, PAT.

> SEAN FROM DAYTON, OHIO, GO

AHEAD.

I'M JUST WONDERING AFTER

JESUS RAISED LAZARUS FROM THE

DEAD, HOW LONG DID HE LIVE

AFTER THAT?

WE DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN.

BUT IT DOES SEEM THAT A

PERSON'S SPIRIT STAYS AROUND

AFTER THEY DIE SEVERAL DAYS.

AND JESUS SAID I'M GOING TO

WAIT FOR AWHILE.

HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE LAZARUS

WAS GOOD AND DEAD.

AND SO, AT THAT POINT, THAT IS

NOT A RESURRECTION.

THAT IS A RESUSCITATION.

AND I IMAGINE LAZARUS LIVED A

NORMAL LIFE.

SO IF THE LIFE EXPECTANCY IN

THAT TIME WAS SAY 50 YEARS OLD

AND HE WAS 30, THEN HE HAD 20

MORE YEARS TO LIVE.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HIS

SITUATION WAS OR HOW OLD HE

WAS.

BUT SOMEWHERE OVER THE LIFE

SPAN OF PEOPLE IN THAT ERA,

THAT IS HOW LONG HE LIVED.

I IMAGINE HE WENT ON TO HAVE

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE AFTER THAT.

YOU HOPE HE DID.

AND TOLD THAT STORY MANY,

MANY TIMES.

HE HAD TWO NICE SISTERS THAT

MEANT WELL.

> TONY FROM VIRGINIA BEACH,

VIRGINIA HAS THIS QUESTION FOR

PAT.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE

PASSAGE?

MINE IS PSALMS 86 AND PSALMS

23.

YOU HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB OF

NAMING EACH ONE, I THINK.

WITH MINE OF COURSE IT IS

ROMANS 8 : 28.

GOD WILL SHAPE EVERYTHING TO

GOOD FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM.

THERE ARE SO MANY.

THE BIBLE IS FILLED WITH

WONDERFUL PASSAGES AND TO PICK

ONE OUT DOES VIOLENCE TO THE

REST OF THEM.

THE BIBLE IS A BOOK OF GOD'S

LOVE STORY TOWARD YOU AND ME.

THERE ARE SO MANY MARVELOUS

PROMISES IN THERE.

I JUST FINISHED A BOOK ON

DAVID AND THE 23rd PSALM OF THE

LORD IS MY SHEPHERD I SHALL NOT

WANT, MY BOOK IS GOING TO BE

CALLED THE SHEPHERD KING, AND

IT IS THE LIFE OF DAVID.

IT IS JUST SO EXCITING.

BUT TO SEE YOU KNOW, HE

COMPARED HIMSELF TO ONE OF THE

SHEEP BEING LED BY THE

SHEPHERD.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD AND

THEN HE WENT THROUGH ALL THOSE.

SO THE 23rd PSALM OF COURSE

EVERYBODY KNOWS AND THEY LOVE

IT.

I LOVE THAT ONE TOO.

> KARLA, FROM MARLIN, TEXAS

HAS THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

MY QUESTION IS, WHEN YOU

HAVE A TEENAGER OR A CHILD

STRUGGLING WITH A MENTAL

ILLNESS OR SPIRITUAL CRISIS,

HOW DO YOU HELP THEM IN THEIR

TIME OF NEED?

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. PAT.

THANK YOU, KARLA.

I THINK THE BIG THING IS YOU

KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE GOT A

TEENAGER, YOU DON'T DICTATE,

YOU LISTEN.

AND THESE TEENAGERS ARE

URGENTLY WANTING SOMEBODY TO

LISTEN.

WHAT ARE THEY GOING THROUGH?

WHAT ARE THEIR PROBLEMS?

AND THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT THE

PERSON THEY ARE TALKING TO IS

TRUSTWORTHY.

SO IF YOU CAN GAIN A TEENAGER'S

TRUST, AND LET THEM KNOW THAT

YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THEM

AND YOU LOVE THEM, AND I THINK

MORE THAN ANYTHING, THEY WANT

UNCONDITION AL LOVE.

I DON'T LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU

ARE GOOD LOOKING, I DON'T LOVE

YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A GREAT

ATHLETE, I DON'T LOVE YOU

BECAUSE YOU ARE SO SMART.

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE OF WHO YOU

ARE.

YOU ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF

GOD AND I THINK IF THEY FEEL

ACCEPTANCE, THAT IS WHAT THEY

NEED.

BUT THE THING MOST PARENTS DO

NOT LISTEN.

WHAT IS THAT CHILD TRYING TO

SAY?

AND GIVE THEM TIME TO TALK AND

EXPRESS THEMSELVES.

DON'T ALWAYS BE TELLING THEM

WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO

THINK.

BUT LISTEN ON THE OTHER SIDE.

THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AS

A PARENT.

WOW.

THAT IS SO GOOD.

SOMEBODY RECEIVED THAT.

I HAVE 23 GREAT

GRANDCHILDREN, 14 GRANDCHILDREN

AND FOUR KIDS.

I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH

LITTLE ONES.

WOW, DID YOU SAY 23?

23 GREAT.

AND ONE OF THEM IS A TEENAGER.

SO IF I STAY AROUND A LITTLE

BIT LONGER I'M GOING TO HAVE A

GREAT GREAT.

OH MY GOSH, THAT IS

INCREDIBLE.

IT IS NICE.

A BIG FAMILY.

> CHRISTINA FROM UNIONVILLE,

NEW JERSEY HAS THIS QUESTION

FOR PAT.

TWO DAYS AGO MY COLLEAGUE'S

LITTLE 11-YEAR-OLD BOY DIED

THREE MONTHS AFTER A LIVER

TRANSPLANT.

MR.ROBERTSON, WHY DOES GOD

ALLOW CHILDREN TO DIE?

THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL.

THE BIBLE SAYS PRECIOUS IN

THE SIGHT OF THE LORD THE DEATH

OF HIS SAINTS.

AND YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BABY HAS

A GREAT DEAL OF PROMISE.

BUT WE HAVE IN AMERICA ABORTED

50 MILLION, 60 MILLION BABIES.

LITTLE CHILDREN, JESUS SAID

SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN TO

COME UNTO ME AND FORBID THEM

NOT SUCH IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

SO THAT LITTLE CHILD, AT THIS

POINT, HAS BEEN SPARED A WHOLE

LIFETIME OF SUFFERING AND HE IS

IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

SO DON'T SAY WHY DOES GOD TAKE

SOMEBODY?

BECAUSE HE IS GIVING THEM

SOMETHING AS A BLESSING.

BUT WHENEVER A LOVED ONE LEAVES

US, OUR HEARTS ARE TORN APART.

WE GRIEVE.

BUT WE KNOW THAT IF THEY KNOW

THE LORD, THEY ARE GOING TO BE

IN HEAVEN FOREVER.

AND WE WOULDN'T WISH TO TAKE

AWAY FROM THEM THE JOY THEY

WILL HAVE BEFORE THE PRESENCE

OF THE LORD.

THE HEAVEN IS REALLY NICE.

THIS WORLD IS A PRETTY GOOD

PLACE.

I'M HAPPY TO LIVE IN IT AND GOD

HAS BLESSED ME AND WE ARE ALL

BLESSED TOGETHER.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, HEAVEN IS

WONDERFUL.

I HAVEN'T SEEN AND HASN'T HEARD

THE THING GOD HAS PREPARED FOR

THEM THAT LOVE HIM.

SO IT IS GOING TO BE BEYOND

ANYTHING WE CAN CONCEIVE OF.

SO WHY DOES GOD ALLOW THEM TO

DIE.

WHY DOES GOD WANT SOMEBODY

TO BE HAPPY?

OKAY.

AND WE ARE GOING TO SEE OUR

LOVED ONES AGAIN.

EXACTLY.

THERE WILL BE GLORIOUS REUNIONS

IN HEAVEN.

ABSOLUTELY.

> I LOVED MY PAPA, TOM, SO

MUCH.

HE WAS THE SHERIFF OF MINGO

COUNTY.

AND WHEN I PICTURE HIM IN

HEAVEN, HE HAS HIS BIG COWBOY

HAT ON AND HE IS THE SHERIFF IN

HEAVEN.

AND I HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN A

VISION OF HIM IN HEAVEN AND HE

IS THE SHERIFF.

I DON'T KNOW THAT SPIRITS

WEAR COWBOY HATS AND CARRY SIX

SHOOTERS OR NOT.

> STEVEN FROM HOUSTON, TEXAS

WITH THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

IN LIGHT OF JESUS' WORDS

ABOUT THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS

AND WHO IS GETTING INTO HEAVEN,

HOW DO WE DEFINE RIGHTEOUSNESS?

YOU KNOW, I WANT TO TELL YOU

SOMETHING.

I READ THAT.

AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT HE IS

NOT TALKING OF A SALVATION.

HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE END OF

THE WORLD.

WHEN HE WILL GATHER PEOPLE

TOGETHER.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WORKS

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

BUT THESE PEOPLE HE SAID I'M

GOING TO GATHER THE SHEEP AND

THE GOATS.

AND I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU FED

ME.

I WAS NAKED AND YOU CLOTHED ME.

I WAS IN PRISON AND YOU CAME TO

SEE ME.

I WAS SICK AND YOU VISITED ME.

AND THESE ARE THE RIGHTEOUS AND

THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SAY WHEN DO

WE DO THAT?

AND HE SEPARATES THE SHEEP FROM

THE GOATS.

BUT I BELIEVE THAT IS AT THE

END OF THE AGE.

HE IS DEALING WITH PEOPLE WHO

ARE MY BRETHREN.

WHO ARE THE BRETHREN?

THE BRETHREN ARE THE ONES WHO

ARE SAVED.

THE PEOPLE OF GOD, MAYBE THE

JEWISH PEOPLE, MAYBE THE

CHRISTIAN PEOPLE.

SO THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD THAT

WE LIVE IN IS GOING TO

DETERMINE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO IN

RELATION TO US.

IT IS INTERESTING.

SO ARE THEY GIVING US A HARD

TIME LATER ON THEY HAVE TO

SEPARATE SHEEP FROM GOATS, THAT

IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT THAT ONE.

VERY GOOD WORK.

IT IS QUITE A STORY, ALL

RIGHT?

> COMING UP, WE HAVE ROUND

THREE OF THE SPECIAL VOICE MAIL

EDITION OF THE 700 CLUB.

STAY TUNED.

YOUR QUESTION COULD BE UP NEXT.

.

> WELCOME BACK TO ROUND THREE

OF YOUR VOICE MAIL QUESTIONS

AND OUR SPECIAL.

GUEST: TODAY, PAT ROBERTSON

IN THE FLESH, TO ANSWER THEM.

ASHLEY FROM MASSACHUSETTS WITH

THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

I HAVE BEEN A NONRELIGIOUS

PERSON FOR MANY YEARS AND

DURING THIS TIME I UNDERWENT A

FULL SEX CHANGE.

RECENTLY, I HAVE BEEN LEARNING

CHRISTIANITY AND NOW REALIZE

THAT CHANGING MY BODY WAS

WRONG.

MY QUESTION IS, SHOULD I

CONTINUE TO LIVE AS A FEMALE?

OR SHOULD I TRY, NOW, TO MODIFY

WHAT I CAN TO LIVE AS A MALE,

AS I WAS BORN?

YOU ARE ASKING ME A MEDICAL

QUESTION THAT I'M NOT SURE I'M

QUALIFIED TO ANSWER.

BUT I WOULD SAY IF YOU FEEL

LIKE YOU WERE BORN A BIOLOGICAL

MALE, YOU WANT TO RETURN TO IT.

THE TROUBLE IS I TELL YOU, IN

TODAY'S WORLD, ONE OF THE

REASONS SO MANY KIDS COME OUT

OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ABOUT

SEVEN.

IS IT 7 MILLION PEOPLE WHO MOVE

THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, BECAUSE

THEY ARE DOING ALL THE SEX

CHANGE STUFF.

I MEAN SOME LITTLE GIRL THINKS

SHE IS A BOY WHEN SHE IS 5

YEARS OLD.

AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,

THEY GIVE HER HORMONES AND MAKE

HER INTO A MAP.

AND TAKE AWAY HER ABILITY TO

HAVE CHILDREN.

I MEAN, IT IS JUST BUTCHERY

THAT TAKES PLACE.

IT MAKES ME SICK AT MY STOMACH

TO THINK THESE LITTLE CHILDREN

DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEY

WANT TO BE.

YET THEY DO SURGERY ON BOYS.

THEY SHOOT ALL KINDS OF

HORMONES INTO BOYS AND GIRLS

AND CHANGE THEIR SEX.

AND ANY DOCTOR THAT DOES THIS

OUGHT TO GET PROSECUTED, IN MY

OPINION.

IT IS OUTRAGEOUS WHAT IS

HAPPENING.

YEAH.

BUT THE QUESTION IS.

DO I GO BACK TO WHAT I WAS

BEFORE?

AND THE ANSWER IS, IF IT IS

POSSIBLE, YES.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WAS DONE TO

YOU, UNLESS YOU HAVE HAD

SERIOUS SURGERY, YOU CAN

PROBABLY REVERSE WHAT IT WAS.

AND BY ALL MEANS DO SO, IF YOU

FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO.

AND THINK ABOUT ROMANS 8 :

28.

HOW GOD CAN USE THIS TESTIMONY.

GOD CAN USE WHAT HAS HAPPENED

IN HER LIFE.

THERE WAS A GIRL ON ONE OF

THOSE NATIONAL TELEVISION SHOWS

SINGING ACTUALLY THAT.

I'M SO SORRY I DID THIS.

I WANT TO GET BACK TO WHAT I

WAS BEFORE.

AMEN.

BUT TO LET LITTLE CHILDREN

MAKE THAT DECISION.

IT IS CRIMINAL.

AND MANY TIMES TAKE IT AWAY

FROM THEIR PARENTS.

I MEAN, WHAT IS BEING DONE

TO KIDS IN SCHOOL TODAY IS

APPALLING.

AND I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT

AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT I HAVE

TO DO, I'M GOING TO START AN

ACADEMY FOR YOUNG.

GRADE 1-12.

WOW.

I WANT TO.

BREAKING NEWS.

BREAKING NEWS.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I

CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION.

I'M GETTING READY TO HAVE A

REGIONAL ACADEMY FOR YOUNG

CHILDREN.

I THINK THAT IS A WONDERFUL

IDEA.

WE SO NEED IT, PAT.

I KNOW.

I'M TRYING TO GET IT UNDERWAY

RIGHT NOW.

BUT TO TEACH THESE KIDS ABOUT

THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE.

AMEN.

OR TO TEACH THEM ABOUT THE

TRUTH OF SOCIALISM AND THE

AMERICAN YOU KNOW, THE FREEDOM

WE ENJOY.

BUT THIS, THIS STUFF IS GOING

ON ABOUT, I MEAN, IT JUST, IT

TAKES MY BREATH AWAY TO THINK

THAT A DOCTOR WOULD PERFORM

SOME OF THESE OPERATIONS ON

LITTLE CHILDREN THAT HAVE NO

IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING

ABOUT.

I KNOW.

IT IS HEARTBREAKING.

> CYNTHIA FROM CHICAGO,

ILLINOIS HAS THIS QUESTION FOR

PAT.

I WAS WONDERING, PAT, IF YOU

COULD EXPLAIN IN TODAY'S WORLD

WHAT IT MEANS TO WATCH IN THE

TERM WATCH AND PRAY?

WELL, I THINK WE, WHAT DOES

WATCH MEAN?

YOU ARE LOOKING AT GOD.

YOU ARE WAITING.

WAIT ON THE LORD AND HE WILL

GIVE YOU THE DESIRE OF YOUR

HEART.

WAITING IS SOMETHING THAT WE

TALK ABOUT, THAT YOU KNOW, AND

THEY PRAYED STRETCHED FOR HIM.

THE LORD TELLS US TO WATCH.

I THINK TO BE ALERT.

YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT

THOSE THAT DRINK, DRINK AT

NIGHT.

AND THE THINGS THEY DO ARE IN

THE DARK.

AND HE SAYS YOU KNOW, YOU

SHOULD BE ALERT AND THE LORD

SAYS WATCH AND PRAY.

THAT MEANS KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

TO WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN TO THE

MOVING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN TO ALL THE

THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING

AROUND YOU.

AND PRAY.

WATCH AND PRAY.

PRAY THAT WHEN THAT DAY COMES,

HE WON'T CATCH YOU UNAWARE.

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE BEING TOLD.

I THINK YOU FOUND THE RIGHT

WORD.

ALERT.

STAY ALERT.

> JACKIE FROM TACOMA,

WASHINGTON, GO AHEAD WITH THIS

QUESTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT

CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO

ABOUT DONATING THEIR ORGANS.

JACKIE, I THINK IT IS A VERY

WORTHY THING TO DO.

PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE THEY DON'T

HAVE A PROPER KIDNEY OR THEY

DON'T HAVE A PROPER ORGANS.

VARIOUS TYPES OF THINGS THAT

ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED.

AND WHEN YOU LEAVE, THAT BODY

OF YOURS IS GOING TO GO INTO

DUST.

YOUR SPIRIT WHICH WILL LIVE ON

IS GOING TO BE WITH THE LORD

AND SO YOU ARE IN HEAVEN

ENJOYING HIM.

AND THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE

DONATED YOUR ORGANS, WHETHER IT

IS YOUR HEART OR YOUR LUNGS OR

KIDNEYS OR WHATEVER TO SCIENCE,

I THINK IS A WORTHY THING TO

DO.

YEAH.

I REALLY DO.

AMEN.

I'M NOT IN AWE IN TERMS OF

CREMATION.

I THINK WE BURN OUR, THAT USED

TO BE TO BURN UP SOMEBODY BUT

TO DONATE SOMEBODY IS A VERY

WORTHY THING IF YOU ARE SO

INCLINED.

> JIM FROM KANSAS CITY,

MISSOURI HAS THIS QUESTION FOR

PAT.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW,

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE

PROPHET EZEKIEL?

BECAUSE THE BIBLE DOESN'T SAY

ANYTHING WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ISAIAH

AND JEREMIAH.

EZEKIEL, I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED

ABOUT THAT.

JIM, I'M AFRAID I DON'T KNOW

ANY MORE ABOUT IT THAN YOU DO.

HE LIVED, HE WROTE SOME VERY

IMPORTANT WORDS.

AND THEN HE FADED OFF THE

SCENE.

BUT YOU ARE RIGHT.

I DON'T HAVE ANY SUBSEQUENT

INFORMATION ABOUT HIM.

I'M SORRY.

MUST HAVE BEEN UNEVENTFUL.

HE, WHEN WE WERE TALKING

ABOUT EZEKIEL 38 THE PROPHESY

IS GOING TO BE LIVED OUT BEFORE

US.

SO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO

EZEKIEL.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HIM ON

THE NATIONAL TELEVISION PROGRAM

IN AMERICA.

ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

I KNOW, RIGHT?

SO HIS WORDS LIVE ON.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM PERSONALLY

I HAVE NO IDEA.

> DEBBY FROM LAKE CHARLES,

LOUISIANA HAS THIS QUESTION FOR

PAT.

I WAS WONDERING, WHAT KIND

OF TASKS OR JOBS WILL WE BE

DOING IN HEAVEN?

IT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT

CROSSED MY MIND.

THANK YOU.

WELL DEBBY, I THINK YOU

KNOW, THERE ARE A BILLION

TRILLION STARS IN THE UNIVERSE

THE SIZE OF OUR SUN.

AND THERE ARE PLANETS OUT THERE

BY THE TRILLIONS.

AND THE UNIVERSE IS VERY LARGE

AND THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF

THINGS GOING ON.

AND I THINK YOU KNOW, WHEN GOD

PUT ADAM IN THE GARDEN, HE SAID

YOU TEND THIS GARDEN.

SO PEOPLE HAD TO LOOK AFTER

THINGS.

I MEAN, HE WAS TO TEND THE

GARDEN, LOOK AFTER THE ANIMALS.

SO I THINK IT IS THE SAME THING

IN HEAVEN.

THERE WILL BE SOMETHING TO DO.

AT POSSAL PAUL SAID THE SAINTS

WILL JUDGE THE ANGELS.

SO MAYBE WE'LL SPEND HALF OF

ETERNITY JUDGING ANGELS, AND

MAKING DECISIONS IN RELATION TO

THEM.

DO YOU THINK YOU'LL HAVE A

TV SHOW IN HEAVEN?

I HOPE NOT.

I THINK OUR TELEVISION WILL BE

WE'LL HAVE INSTANT THOUGHT.

RIGHT.

WHAT WILL WE DO?

I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS

HEAVEN IS GOING TO BE THE GLORY

OF GOD.

AND THIS WILL OCCUPY US

FOREVER.

WE'LL BE CONSUMED WITH THE

GLORY OF GOD.

BUT GOD IS SO POWERFUL AND HE

IS SO ALMIGHTY.

AND HE IS SO ALL ENCOMPASSING.

AND TO GET INTO HIS PRESENCE IS

GOING TO BE FULLNESS OF JOY.

WE'LL HAVE A HARD TIME

UNDERSTANDING.

YEAH.

ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO I THINK THE CONSCIOUSNESS WE

HAVE IN HEAVEN IS GOING TO BE

TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE

HAVE NOW.

WELL, AMEN.

WOW.

> STILL AHEAD.

LAST CALL.

OUR FOURTH AND "FINAL ROUND" OF

YOUR VOICE MAIL QUESTIONS IS

COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.

.

> WELCOME BACK TO OUR "FINAL

ROUND" OF OUR SPECIAL EDITION

OF THE 700 CLUB YOUR VOICE

MAILS AND PAT HERE TO ANSWER

THEM.

WE'LL START WITH JOE FROM GRAND

PRAIRIE, TEXAS.

HI, ABOUT THE.

MY NAME IS JOE.

I HAIL FROM THE GREAT STATE OF

TEXAS.

MY QUESTION FOR YOU, AS THE END

TIME APPROACHES, EVERYBODY IS

TALKING ABOUT GREAT REVIVAL

COMING UPON THE EARTH.

HOWEVER IS THAT SCRIPT WRAL?

ALL I CAN SEE IS TORMENT AND

LOTS OF PERSECUTION.

I WAS JUST READING THE OTHER

DAY WHERE THE APOSTLES YOU

KNOW, SAID IN THE LATTER DAYS,

THEY HAVE A MOVE OF GOD AND

THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A

PROPHESY THAT WAS SPOKEN OF BY

THE PROPHET.

AND HE SAID IN THE LATTER DAYS

I'LL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT OF MY

OWN FLESH AND YOUR SONS AND

DAUGHTERS WILL PROPHESY.

I THINK WE COULD HAVE A WAKE

REVIVAL.

WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF

THE GREATEST MOVES OF GOD IN

THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.

RIGHT NOW.

NOT GOING TO BE.

WE ARE HAVING IT NOW.

AND IS THERE GOING TO BE A

GREAT REVIVAL?

WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE.

IS THERE GOING TO BE

PERSECUTION?

YES.

BUT IT IS GOING TO BE SHORT-

LIVED, I THINK.

BUT IT IS GOING TO BE INTENSE.

AND JESUS SAID THIS GOSPEL OF

THE KING WILL BE PREACHED IN

ALL THE WORLD AND THEN THE END

IS GOING TO COME.

SO THERE IS TREMENDOUS

PERSECUTION AGAINST CHRISTIANS.

THE MIDDLE EAST IS HORRIBLE

WHAT IS BEING DONE.

WHAT THE MUSLIMS ARE DOING TO

CHRISTIANS AROUND THE WORLD IS

AWFUL.

AND OTHER PERSECUTING OF

CHRISTIANS.

COMMUNISTS IN CHINA ARE

PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS.

SO THERE IS PERSECUTION RIGHT

AS WE SPEAK.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, THERE IS

A MASSIVE GREAT REVIVAL.

I AM SO GLAD I'M IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE ONE OF THE GREATEST

TIMES WHERE THE POWER OF GOD IS

MANIFESTED.

PEOPLE BY THE THOUSANDS AND

MILLIONS ARE COMING TO JESUS.

WE ARE SEEING MIRACLES ALL THE

TIME.

EVERY DAY THERE ARE MIRACLES.

SO YES, IN THE MIDDLE OF BOTH

THINGS, BUT YOU WILL BE HATED

OF ALL THE NATIONS FOR MY

NAME'S SAKE AND THEN THE END'S

GOING TO COME.

ANYHOW WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL

THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS.

PRAISE GOD.

VERY ENCOURAGING WORDS.

> WAYNE FROM LAVERNE,

MINNESOTA HAS ANOTHER QUESTION

FOR PAT.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR PAT.

IN JOSHUA 10 THE SUN AND MOON

STOOD STILL.

IT IS A REAL PUZZLE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT COULD BE.

IF YOU HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR

THAT, I WOULD APPRECIATE

HEARING FROM IT.

I STRUGGLE WITH THAT MY

FRIEND.

ONE THING FOR SURE IS, THE SUN

DIDN'T STOP.

THERE IS ONE THING THAT HE DID

WHEN HE SAID THE SUN STOOD

STILL.

HE EARTH ROTATES.

AND OF ALL THE PLANETS, THIS

MEANS YOU HAVE A LONG DAY.

AND YOU KNOW THE SUN DOESN'T

COME DOWN.

BUT YOU HAVE A 24-HOUR

REVOLVING ABOUT THIS PLANET.

SO DID THE PLANET STAND STILL?

MAYBE.

DID THE SUN?

NO WAY.

IT DIDN'T AFFECT THE SUN.

DIDN'T AFFECT THE MOON.

BUT IT DID AFFECT, WE DON'T

KNOW FOR SURE.

THAT IS WHAT WOULD HAVE TO

HAPPEN IF THAT WAS FULFILLED.

JOSHUA'S PRAYER WAS

ANSWERED.

BUT THE EARTH WAS ROTATING

AROUND.

THE EARTH HAS TO STOP, AT THIS

POINT, SO YOU HAVE A LONG DAY.

SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO CHECK THE

RECORDS ALL THE WAY BACK.

DID SUCH A THING ACTUALLY

HAPPEN?

BUT THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED.

IT IS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD

HAPPEN.

THE SUN DIDN'T, NO WAY YOU ARE

GOING TO CHANGE WITH THE SOLAR

SYSTEM.

IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT DANA FROM

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO WITH

THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

IF SOMEBODY IS A CHRISTIAN,

DEDICATED CHRISTIAN, AND THEY

ARE SICK, AND THERE HAS BEEN

SINCERE PRAYER FOR HEALING AND

CONTINUED BELIEF FOR THEIR

HEALING AND THEY WANT TO BE

HEALED.

AT SOME POINT WHEN THEY

CONTINUE TO GET ILL, DO THEY

HAVE A CHOICE WITH THEIR WILL

TO GO ON TO HEAVEN?

I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY

RELEASE.

GOT DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR PRAYER.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW SOMEBODY VERY,

VERY CLOSE TO ME THAT SAID I

WANT TO GO HOME.

I WANTING TO TO BE WITH JESUS.

THERE ARE MANY WHO ARE SICK BUT

THEY WANT TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW

BUT GOD WILL NOT NECESSARILY

ANSWER THEIR PRAYER.

YEAH, AMEN.

AMEN.

GOD HAS PERFECT TIMING.

AND WE HAVE ANOTHER CALLER.

ANGELIQUE FROM CLIMATE FALLS,

OREGON.

MY QUESTION IS HOW BIG IS

HEAVEN?

AND DOES IT EXPAND?

WILL EVERYONE FIT IN HEAVEN?

OR WILL HEAVEN RUN OUT OF ROOM?

OR IS IT ONLY A CERTAIN AMOUNT

OF PEOPLE CAN BE LET INTO

HEAVEN?

AND ONCE WE ARE THERE, CAN WE

BE KICKED OUT FOR SINNING?

ANGELIQUE, HEAVEN IS SO BIG

YOU CAN'T CONCEIVE OF IT.

I WAS PRAYING ONE TIME I SAID

LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO

DO?

HE SAID HEAVEN IS VERY LARGE

AND YOUR JOB IS TO FILL IT UP,

AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

THAT WAS THE JOB.

BUT BELIEVE ME, THERE IS PLENTY

OF ROOM.

HEAVEN IS ENORMOUS.

AND GOD WANTS US TO MAKE SURE

THAT HEAVEN IS FILLED WITH

PEOPLE WHO WILL LOVE AND SERVE

HIM FOR ALL ETERNITY.

> WELL THANKS SO MUCH FOR

THESE QUESTIONS AND THAT IS ALL

THE TIME WE'VE GOT.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE WORDS

FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH.

THE GRASS WITHERS, THE FLOWER

FADES, BUT THE WORD OF GOD WILL

STAND FOREVER.

TOMORROW WE'VE GOT A NEW YORK

TIMES DEBBY MACOMBER IS GOING

TO BE HERE.

SHE IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT HER

NEXT BLOCKBUSTER NOVEL.

> IN THE MEANTIME, MY THANKS

TO MY DEAR CO-HOST, WENDY, FOR

BEING HERE.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THOSE

QUESTIONS.

THANKS TO THE STAFF, WE HAVE A

GREAT CREW HERE.

I LOVE THEM AND APPRECIATE

THEIR SKILLS.

AND WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
