Revelation 6:12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Californians have been keeping an eye on the San Andreas Fault for years fearing a “big one” would strike and cause massive damage.
Now, scientists say that a quake of 7.5 or bigger on a lesser known fault might be even more catastrophic than a quake along the San Andreas Fault line.
The Puente Hills thrust fault, which was the fault which brought Friday night’s 5.1 magnitude quake, runs from northern Orange County through downtown Los Angeles and all the way into Hollywood. The San Andreas Fault runs along the outskirts of Southern California’s metro areas.
Thus, scientists say, a massive quake along the Puente Hills fault would cause significantly more damage and likely brings hundreds or thousands of deaths. One estimate from the U.S. Geological Survey estimated as many as 1,800 deaths and $250 billion in damage.
The same fault in 1987 had a 5.9 quake that killed eight people and caused $350 million in damage.
One USGS staffer said that a 7.5 quake centered in Los Angeles would be so intense that it would throw heavy objects like a grand piano into the air.
Lord, come!
thank you Pastor Jim for keep us informed. we are listening.
I’ve never meant to say things that are harmful to anyone living in those areas, but if you are a follower of Yeshua, stay only if you hear HIM say stay. LA and Hollywood have been mocking God in every way imaginable. The wages of sin are DEATH, and that area has been on time and a half for a long while and I do believe you’ve pushed your Poison Wine for way to long. You’ve sown in the wind and now GOD says REAP THE WHIRLWIND. Repent and be saved or Perish. Choose this day! Amen
Pray for the people in California and all the west coast; also pray for the millions of people who will die in the upcoming Midwest earthquake and the east coast tsunami. The stench of the USA’s sins have reached God’s throne and now time is over. I know many millions will get saved during this short but powerful revival. Never underestimate Satan but remember he is a defeated foe; God knows what Satan, his demons, and his earthly servants are up to so 100% dependence on God by His people is mandatory in these last days. All Glory to Almighty God!!!!!
