am not thinking of moving countries anytime soon
But I think many american people are drawn to west coast life in california, I cant imagine not living within access of a beach and not being able to see the sea.
in nz we have earthquakes and active volcanoes. One blew up this year and killed a few visitors.
my former city had a sister city arrangement with Huntington Beach.
Ive only ever been to the airport on my way to somewhere else. Of course california is well publicised, after all, Hollywood movies come from there.
our captial in nz tried to piggyback on its film success and call itself 'wellywood' but us aucklanders were like, whatever! Actually more films are made and shot in my home town than wellington.

I remember reading in an old Readers Digest book called wonders of the world which had a picture of California and it predicted in the future it would break away from the rest of the US because of the san andreas fault and float out into the Pacific Ocean and become its own island.
Then Nevada next to it will have its own coast.
so, why not move to Nevada?

I live in California, and it really isn't bad, but again I'm a liberal voter and that is probably a huge reason why people don't want to live here. Other than that, you get used to the earthquakes, and unless you don't like living in the city you won't be affected by fire. Because most people that are wealthy enough to live in CA have spare money for taxes, that also isn't an issue and overall I just like the atmosphere of LA, as it isn't crazy loud like new york but still busy.
Golly, that's interesting.
I often think of stories, which are generally Sci fi in nature (I really ought to discipline myself to write) but anyway, just last week I imagined a scenario in a story where California had broken away from the mainland in the future. I don't know anything about American geology apart from the infamous San Andreas fault. Not saying I'm predicting or prophesying lol Just think it's interesting you read the same thing also.

[I don't know where else to put this so if any moderators out there want to move it to the correct forum then be my guest] When i was a kid, I would always dream of moving LA. But it wasn't to get "famous" or get "rich", it was because it's a beautiful state.
But as i got older i began to realize the problems that "plague" the state.
Whether its wildfires.
Or the homeless.

Coupled with the fact that California has some of the highest taxes in the nation, makes me think that the land/state that i once dreamed of, maybe no
longer worth it.
So my question is, how do we fix this beautiful state and return it to its former glory ? I still want to live there and am still looking for housing around the San Diego area, but i also want to help fix the state and restore the "California Dream". Too many people have been leaving the state and that's a shame really, but i think there's still hope, and some input from y'all could really help me out, thanks.

2 Timothy 3:1-5
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

We should see an increase in lawlessness..
Matthew 24:12
Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.

In fact I would say since it will be the worst time the world has ever seen..it doesn’t just happen in the trib..but like birthing pangs...increasingly gets worse and worse.
Matthew 24:21
For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.

I always think the earthquakes are a testing on the earth of the one God will send in the trib..
Revelation 16:18
And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.

There are homeless and starving all over the world. A far more dire concern than calling out CA would be to pray for Nigerian Christians who are under attack and a Bishop kidnapped recently.
I go to Harvest Church which has an online Harvest@Home service on the weekends that have brought in over 50,000 souls and counting. There are other great churches all over CA as well. I don't mind taxes at all considering all the beneficial programs Riverside has to offer.
Los Angeles has always had skid row and imo all states across the US should have a strategy for uplifting the down and out of work/bankrupt people. Laguna Beach has now small units to offer homeless, that's a good start, but way more needs to be done everywhere.

It’s going to be a mighty earthquake...
I thought God just made it rain for the flood?
Revelation 16:18-20
And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.
Genesis 7:11 NLT
How long do you think it would take for a mist to flood the earth?
