TV Evangelist and former Republican presidential candidate Pat Robertson is known for saying some far-out things, Ranker.com reported, but his 1980 announcement on his Christian Broadcast Network show "The 700 Club" may have taken the cake.

"I guarantee by the end of 1982 there is going to be a judgment on this world," Robertson had said, predicting Armageddon followed by seven "nightmare years" of suffering, according to Ranker.

After misjudging that apocalypse, Robertson revived his Doomsday prophesies: In 2006, the evangelist said God had warned him of large storms and tsunamis, USA Today reported, and in 2008 predicted "worldwide violence" and a stock-market crash by 2010, according to Fox News.
