In 1965, radio commentator Paul Harvey shared a prophetic broadcast with America, reaching millions weekly. While accurate on various topics, no one predicted his words would become reality after 53 years. With a chilling effect, he began by saying, “If I were the Devil…” and discussed present-day issues. Harvey’s “prophecy” is a haunting reflection of our times.
He detailed a strategy to engulf the Earth in darkness, targeting the United States first. Whispering like a serpent, he would undermine values. He’d convince the young that “man created God” and “bad is good.” For the married, he’d debase work and promote excess. He’d infiltrate unions and encourage idleness.
Harvey foresaw promoting drugs, alcohol, and pills. He’d nurture undisciplined emotions in schools, manipulate courts against God, and substitute science for religion. He’d twist holiday symbols.
He’d undermine ambition, divide families, create a police state, and coerce labor. This “prophecy” is a solemn reminder of society’s vulnerabilities.
Paul Harvey’s 1965 broadcast is eerily relevant today, a warning of how subtle influences can reshape society if left unchecked.
