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."'''''

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 in the 1950's. 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. | 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.

Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the world. 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: | Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the world.

Combined with the danger of existing fault lines that Los Angeles sits on, the potential for a devastating natural disaster is scientifically plausible. | Combined with the danger of existing fault lines that Los Angeles sits on, the potential for a devastating natural disaster is scientifically plausible. | ||
Since the 1950's, oil producers have been pumping water into the earth to replace the oil they extract in order to stop the land from sinking. 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) dissolved, creating a sink-hole 900 feet wide by 260 feet deep.[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354501,00.html] 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 dissolving structural minerals under Los Angeles. | Since the 1950's, oil producers have been pumping water into the earth to replace the oil they extract in order to stop the land from sinking.
