Paul Harvey Made This Prediction In 1965. Now Listen To His Chilling Words.
Paul Harvey, a trailblazer in talk radio and news commentary whose unique, punchy delivery made him a well-known voice across the United States, captivated over 24 million listeners at the height of his career.
His broadcasts were known for their precision and impact.
Despite his usually spot-on observations, it was hard to believe that his poignant words from 59 years prior would turn out to reflect today’s reality so accurately.
When I came across this today, I couldn’t help but notice its relevance to our current times.
The iconic speech was aired by the famed ABC Radio commentator Paul Harvey on April 3, 1965.
He began his speech with the provocative opening line, “If I were the Devil…”
He then went on to discuss various societal issues, which, interestingly, are now challenges we are currently dealing with.
It’s a speech that EVERYBODY should hear.
It’s a bit sad to admit, but Paul Harvey’s words from 54 years ago were incredibly prescient.
“If I Were the Devil If I were the Prince of Darkness I would want to engulf the whole earth in darkness.
I’d have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree.
So I should set about however necessary, to take over the United States.
I would begin with a campaign of whispers.
With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whispers to you as I whispered to Eve, “Do as you please.”
To the young I would whisper “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that “man created God,” instead of the other way around.
I would confide that “what is bad is good and what is good is square.”
In the ears of the young married I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you.
I would caution them not to be “extreme” in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
And the old I would teach to pray — to say after me — “Our father which are in Washington.”
