Televangelist Pat Robertson has declared God told him that US President Trump will win a second term, but a little more than five years later an asteroid will hit Earth and 'maybe' bring 'the end'.
Speaking on the 'The 700 Club,' the 90-year-old was certain that the controversial Republican leader would win next month's election.
"First of all, I want to say without question, Trump is going to win the election,'' Robertson said.

"That doesn't mean you sit home and don't vote," he added. "That means you get out and do everything you can to work, but he's going to win. That's, I think, a given."
The Christian Broadcasting Network founder, who has been a supporter and defender of Trump, said that following his re-election the world would be plunged into civil unrest, including at least two attempts on Trump's life and a war against Israel that will be 'put down by God'.
Then, the world will see 'at least five years or more of extraordinary peace' before an asteroid hits planet earth.

"What I think very frankly is the only thing that will fulfil the word of Jesus...is some kind of asteroid strike on the globe,'' he said.
"It's sudden destruction. It's not going to be some nuclear war. We're not going to be allowed to blow this earth up.''
Robertson said that following the global damage 'then, maybe the end' would come next.
The televangelist's comments should probably be taken with an asteroid-sized grain of salt, considering his past predictions, including his warning in 1976 that the world would end in 1982, clearly failed to come to fruition.

According to USA Today, he then penned a book in 1990 titled The New Millennium, saying that the end of time would come on April 29, 2007.
There have been loads of asteroid flybys this year and thankfully none have come close enough to do any damage to our fragile earth. Let's hope Robertson is wrong on the asteroid front.
