Pat Robertson, who has made predicting the future an annual tradition, predicts a recession

But don't unload your portfolio just yet. Robertson acknowledged Wednesday that his prophecy of a nuclear terror attack in 2007 failed to unfold.


He also cited information from God when he predicted on a year go that major U.S. cities would be hit by "very serious terrorist attacks" causing "possibly millions" of deaths.


No such catastrophe occurred.


"All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed and God in his mercy spared us,"

On Wednesday, Robertson, 77, implied that God informed him who will be elected president in November.


"He told me some things about the election, but I'm not going to say, because some old man on "60 Minutes" would make fun of me, so I'm not going to tell you who the winner's going to be," Robertson said

"the Lord was saying there's going to be violence and chaos in the world,"

Robertson said he received no divine information about the war in Iraq
