IS PAT ROBERTSON CORRECT?
3 Reasons why Pat Robertson may be correct!
In the desperately sad aftermath of Haiti's massivley destructive earthquake evangelist Pat Robertson has suggested that the cause maybe in an old pact the people of Haiti made with satan to free them from French rule.
I doubt the spiritual antecedents to the earthquake can be known clearly this side of eternity, however some further Biblical reflections may be helpful.
1) Satan has been given authority in Haiti and its lives through voodoo worship, which is satanic - the Bible warns against giving any authority to satan... Eph 4:27. When he has been given authority he will claim it!
2) Satan is a murderer .. Jn 8:44 and much death/murder has happened in Haiti. where there is death the evil one is active. He seeks to take lives and far too many lives have been taken in Haiti. This earthquake has satan's handiwork 'all over it'. Death is his signature.
3) Satan is alive, well and still active. He deceives he doesn't exist, but his signature is across the world every minute of every day. Rev 12:10ff
Pat Robertson may well be assailed but what If he is actually correct? God knows the truth, but who can actually prove Robertson wrong?
If Pat Robertson is correct it surely is time to turn in repentance to Jesus!
