(End of the American Dream)—Will “the Big One” soon hit the west coast? While most people are fixated on the political drama that is currently unfolding in Washington, very important events are happening elsewhere too. Within the past 7 days, California and Nevada have been hit by more than 900 earthquakes. And just within the past 24 hours, there have been four notable earthquakes in southern California. We are being told that these quakes are “raising fears of a serious seismic incident on the San Andreas fault”…
Another earthquake has hit California – the fourth in the space of just 24 hours.
The latest – a Magnitude 2.6 quake – hit 28 km SSW of Los Banos. It comes after a third earthquake rocked San Bernardino and the area was hit by two others, raising fears of a serious seismic incident on the San Andreas fault.
I have been one of the leading voices in warning about what will happen when the San Andreas fault finally “unzips” all at once.
Today, I asked Google AI about the potential danger the west coast is facing, and this is the answer that I received…
According to scientific research, while not guaranteed, the San Andreas Fault could potentially rupture all at once, causing a massive earthquake sometimes called “The Big One,” potentially reaching a magnitude 8.3 if the entire fault from the Mexico border to Northern California breaks simultaneously; however, this scenario is still under debate among scientists and depends on complex geological factors.
If the San Andreas Fault does “rupture all at once”, scientists have warned us that it could produce an earthquake that would be powerful enough to cause the ground on the western side of the San Andreas fault to suddenly drop several feet. Since most of southern California is just barely above sea level, that would allow water from the Pacific Ocean to come rushing in.
Of course the San Andreas Fault is not the only fault line that we need to be watching. In fact, the latest earthquake swarm in southern California occurred in an area that has a number of very dangerous fault lines running through it…
Though these quakes happened on the San Andreas fault line, San Bernadino is near a number of fault lines running through California that frequently cause earthquakes, including the Arrowhead fault, the Waterman Canyon fault, the San Jacinto fault, the Santa Ana fault, the Cleghorn fault, and the Tunnel Ridge fault.
And let’s not forget the Puente Hills thrust fault.
According to seismologist Lucy Jones, that is the most dangerous fault in the entire region…
The quake ruptured on a small section of a fault associated with the Puente Hills thrust fault system, which has long been cited as a major seismic hazard for Southern California because it runs through heavily populated areas and is capable of a huge quake.
“It’s a reminder that this is actually our most dangerous fault,” earthquake expert Lucy Jones said, surpassing the San Andreas.
The Puente Hills thrust fault is considered to be exceptionally dangerous because it sits directly under heavily populated residential neighborhoods in northeast Los Angeles.
If you live in southern California, it so important for you to understand that it is just a matter of time before “the Big One” strikes.
And as I have extensively documented, seismic activity along the west coast also has the potential to create a gigantic tsunami.
So many people have had dreams and visions of tsunamis hitting coastal cities in the United States. Here is a recent example from Perry Stone…
In this recent vision, Stone was in a U.S. coastal city attending a ministers’ conference with friends like Jentezen Franklin, Tony Scott and his wife, Pam. While walking across a bridge, Stone overheard a young girl say, “Daddy, did you hear about the big earthquake that happened?” Moments later, a massive tsunami appeared in the distance.
“I said, ‘Tony, oh my goodness, there’s a tsunami coming this way,’” Stone recounts. He describes how they clung to metal bars on the bridge as the wave crashed into the city, sweeping away buses and cars. The scene shifted to knee-deep water flooding the streets, with people in shock and disbelief.
Stone did not specifically see that this would take place in southern California.
But many others have been shown that the California coastline is in great danger.
I don’t understand why anyone would still want to live in the state anyway.
California has the highest state income tax rate in the entire nation, California has the highest state-level sales tax rate in the entire nation, and California also has the highest gasoline tax rate in the entire nation.
If you want to be taxed into oblivion, live in California.
Meanwhile, California is ranked 47th in number of hospitals per capita, it has the highest homeless population of any state in the country, crime is wildly out of control, and businesses are fleeing the state left and right.
One of the only things that is keeping the population of California relatively stable at this point is the tremendous influx of migrants that has been pouring into the state in recent years, but the state does not have the resources to take care of all of them.
Perhaps California would have some hope of turning things around if they had some solid leadership, but unfortunately the vast majority of the politicians in the state are pushing agendas that are so “anti-American” that it is absolutely frightening.
On top of everything else, there is the constant threat of wildfires, mudslides and earthquakes.
In fact, the fires that ripped through southern California during the month of January were collectively the costliest natural disaster in the entire history of the United States.
Before I end this article, there is one last thing that I wanted to mention today.
It is being reported that Costco and Trader Joe’s have started to ration the number of eggs that their customers can purchase…
An egg shortage triggered by avian flu has prompted several grocery stores, including Costco, and Trader Joe’s, to limit purchases.
Trader Joe’s, with about 600 stores across the U.S., has a one-dozen eggs per day limit.
“We hope these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe’s,” a Trader Joe’s representative said Monday, CNN reported.
This is a story that I am going to be watching very closely.
I am convinced that pestilences will continue to be a major theme throughout the rest of 2025.
Of course I am also convinced that major natural disasters will continue to be a major theme throughout the rest of 2025.
We really are living in perilous times, and the months that are in front of us will be filled with lots and lots of surprises.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
