Destruction of Los Angeles

The Biltmore Hotel, Downtown Los Angeles, where William Branham prophecied that Los Angeles would roll into the sea. William Branham had just finished preaching a series of meetings in Los Angeles in April 1965, when he was asked by the Full Gospel Business Men who organized the meetings to preach just one more service for them. So, on April 29, William Branham stood behind the podium at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, and preached a sermon called "Choosing of a Bride". Two notable things occurred during this service: There was a steady stream of people leaving the building during the service who could not handle the severity of the preaching. These included the same people who had attended (and engaged in) William Branham's sermons in LA since April the 24th. During this sermon, William Branham prophecied that the city of Los Angeles would one day slide into the ocean, and a new coastline would form at the Salton Sea.

You're great honeycomb under you right now. The wrath of God is belching right beneath you. How much longer He'll hold this sandbar hanging over that, when that ocean out yonder a mile deep will slide in there plumb back to the Salton Sea. It'll be worse than the last day of Pompeii. Repent, Los Angeles. Repent the rest of you and turn to God. The hour of His wrath is upon the earth. Flee while there's time to flee and come into Christ."

It is also one of the only cities in the world with significant active oil extraction within city limits. The sediment in the Los Angeles basin is up to 6 miles (10 km) deep, and includes the following oil fields: Long Beach Oil Field Los Angeles City Oil Field Wilmington Oil Field (3rd largest oil field in the U.S.) Huntington Beach Oil Field Torrance Oil Field Beverly Hills Oil Field Combined with the danger of existing fault lines that Los Angeles sits on, the potential for a devestating natural disaster is scientifically plausible. Time Magazine[1] recorded the partial sinking of Long Beach in the 1950s, blaming the cause on excessive drilling in the area. Since that time, oil producers have been pumping water into the earth to replace the oil they extract. The only problem with this process is that water has different properties than oil, as residents of Daisetta, Texas learned in 2008 when the walls of an underground salt-cave (from which oil brine had been extracted) disolved, creating a sink-hole 900 feet wide by 260 feet deep.[2] Between 1932 and 1960 iodine was harvested from oil brine extracted in the Los Angeles basin - raising the question of whether the water being pumped into the earth is currently disolving structural minerals under Los Angeles. One problem with subsistence (the sinking of land) is that it can create megatsunamis if they occur near water. History records the following megatsunamis created by landslides: 365 AD - 100ft waves hit Alexandria after an earthquake off Crete. 1792 AD - 330ft waves killed 15,000 villagers when parts of Mount Unzen, Japan slid into the sea. 1958 AD - 1,720ft waves destroyed Lituya Bay, Alaska, after an earthquake caused a landslide. And, of course, the Salton Sea is about two hundred feet below sea level, and if that big churning, that earth swallowing in like that, with hundreds of square miles, hundreds and hundreds of square miles sinking into the earth, that'll throw a tidal wave plumb to Arizona.
