The concept of a great earthquake in California and part of it sliding into the ocean was not a new concept initiated by Brother Branham.  The risk of LA sinking was well known and discussed in scientific and popular culture, as evidenced by the '''April 1, 1957 issue of Time Magazine<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,867597,00.html Time Magazine - April 1, 1957]</ref> that reported a partial sinking of Long Beach.  This sinking was blamed on the excessive oil drilling in the area.'''  It is also well known that Los Angeles lies on the 'ocean-side' of the San Andreas Fault. In this regard, the sinking of Los Angeles may still happen, as the instability of the land was well know and documented before William Branham's prophecy.
