'''On April 29, 1965''' William Branham | '''On April 29, 1965''' William Branham was preaching in Los Angeles and prophesied that the city of Los Angeles would one day slide into the sea, just like Capernaum, and that a new coastline would form at the Salton Sea. However, Capernaum never sank into the Sea of Galilee, but remains in ruins on its shoreline. | ||
In the book "Acts of the Prophet" by [[Pearry Green]], William Branham told his son [[Billy Paul Branham|Billy Paul]] that sharks would swim in downtown Los Angeles before he was an old man. Billy Paul was born in 1935 and should be considered a man in his senior years by now. | |||

Why does William Branham compare the sinking of Los Angeles to the sinking of Capernaum when, in fact Capernaum did not sink? Rather, it was simply abandoned, and its ruins are on the shore of the sea of Galilee to this day. We know because we've been to Capernaum. The ruins are still there. | Why does William Branham compare the sinking of Los Angeles to the sinking of Capernaum when, in fact Capernaum did not sink?

Pearry Green wrote the following on page 119 of his book "Acts Of The Prophet", with regards to a statement William Branham made to his son, Billy Paul:''' ''"Billy, I may not be here but you won't be an old man until sharks will swim right where we are standing."''''' While Billy Paul is alive today, his birthday is September 13, 1935 (i.e., he will turn 80 years old in 2015). | Pearry Green wrote the following on page 119 of his book "Acts Of The Prophet", with regards to a statement William Branham made to his son, Billy Paul:''' ''"Billy, I may not be here but you won't be an old man until sharks will swim right where we are standing."'''''

:''"Oh, Capernaum," said Jesus, "thou who exalted into heaven, will be brought down into hell. For, if the mighty works had been done in Sodom and Gomorrah, it'd have been standing to this day." And Sodom, Gomorrah lays in the bottom of the Dead Sea. And Capernaum is in the bottom of the sea.'' | |||
:''Thou city, who claims to be the city of the Angels, who's exalted yourself into heaven and sent all the dirty filthy things of fashions and things, till even the foreign countries come here to pick up our filth and send it away, with your fine churches and steeples, and so forth the way you do; remember, '''one day you'll be laying in the bottom of this 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."
