The Second Coming Will Be Televised

In order to prepare for the imminent Second Coming—which Robertson believes will occur on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem according to biblical prophecy—he acquired METV (Middle East Television), a station then based in southern Lebanon that could broadcast into Israel. Straub was given marching orders to be ready to televise Christ’s return. CBN executives drew up a detailed plan to broadcast the event to every nation and in all languages. Straub wrote: “We even discussed how Jesus’ radiance might be too bright for the cameras and how we would have to make adjustments for that problem. Can you imagine telling Jesus, ‘Hey, Lord, please tone down your luminosity; we’re having a problem with contrast. You’re causing the picture to flare.’”

Jesus has already arrived, singing Helter Skelter on youtube.

I don't know what comment to make, other than the above.  So let's have a sarcastic comment competition.  Winner can feel good about themselves.

No, you see, what happened is he got his calculations wrong. God didn't tell him he was coming to judge, but that he would begin judging.

So God moved from one room in heaven to another room.

Next time Robertson announces the world's going to end Jesus will come down invisibly to live in his house.

Well, coming from the Pagan side of things, I don't really like to make fun of religions in any shape, size or form...

Of course, I could always make an exception...

I don't see this as making fun of Pat Robertson's religion. I believe in the second coming myself. What deserves to be mocked is Robertson trying to get the scoop.

When the Bible says all will see the Lord return, I don't believe that prophecy requires television.
