Paul Harvey’s Eerie Prophecy from 1965
Legendary radio commentator Paul Harvey, known for his unique delivery and sharp commentary, once reached over 24 million listeners. In a broadcast on April 3, 1965, he delivered a speech titled “If I Were the Devil,” which many now find hauntingly relevant.
In it, Harvey imagines how the Devil would slowly corrupt America: by whispering lies, twisting morals, weakening families, promoting vice, and removing God from public life. He speaks of eroding discipline in schools, glorifying immorality, and replacing faith with science and materialism.
More than five decades later, his “prophecy” feels chillingly close to reality. His words are a powerful reminder of the values at stake.
“If I were the Devil… I’d keep doing what I’m doing—and the whole world would go to hell as sure as the Devil.”
Everyone should hear this.
