As reported in the Virginian Pilot, Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, who has made predicting the future an annual tradition, predicts a recession and a major stock market upheaval are on their way for the U.S. On Wednesday, Robertson suggested that Americans will be paying much more for gas at the pump, specifically forecasting that oil would reach $150 a barrel, with the dollar continuing to lose value. "I also believe the Lord was saying by 2009, maybe 2010, there's going to be a major stock market crash," said Robertson, who also acknowledged that his prophecy of a nuclear terror attack in 2007 failed to unfold. Responding to why the U.S. was spared "possibly millions" of deaths in a serious terrorist attack last year, Robertson said, "All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed and God in his mercy spared us."
