I have not seen anyone mockingI'm of the opinion that people should have sympathy, shouldn't mock or be nonchalant about the innocent people living there just because it's a state where you don't like their politics
This article printed yesterday says that the total acres burned now isWow!
OK, I did some simple calculations. They said that 17,000 acres have been burned. So I took the average population density of Los Angeles county per acre and multiplied by 17,000 and got 220,000 people. Now consider how many stores that would also include. Now imagine the cost of an entire city of 220,000 people being burned to the ground (and note, the fire is not over, not by a long shot). That would be like Birmingham Alabama or Scottsdale Arizona burning to the ground. Now what happens when you have 220,000 refugees? Also there must be many people impacted because the place where they worked burned to the ground.
Now remember, their estimate of 17,000 acres burned is likely to be conservative and when all is said and done it will be much worse. I have noticed this on many disasters. At the time they estimate a certain amount of damage, you go back two years later and look it up and you find that the real number was generally twice what they told you at the time. For example in 2006, one year after Hurricane Katrina they estimated 40-50 billion in monetary losses (https://rwkates.org/pdfs/a2006.03.pdf). Today if you look it up Wikipedia has $125 billion in losses.
I also looked up the average home price in Los Angeles, it is almost $1 million. This fire may wind up costing over $100 billion.
If the final result of this is double the size of what they have told us you are looking at a city the size of Atlanta or Kansas city burning to the ground.
Wow!

Trump talks like he has a second grade education. How he became rich is beyond me
Yeah I've been saying this. As if people deserve to have their homes burned for having political opinions. But conservatism is antithetical to empathyI'm of the opinion that people should have sympathy, shouldn't mock or be nonchalant about the innocent people living there just because it's a state where you don't like their politics
Good pointYeah I've been saying this. As if people deserve to have their homes burned for having political opinions. But conservatism is antithetical to empathy
Thanks for proving my pointGood point
Luke 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Yes, the way to understand this is not that LA is more sinful than the rest of the world, but that what we are seeing happen there will happen to us as well on the day of Judgement unless we repent.Thanks for proving my point
Only one of us is rejoicing about people's houses being burned. Repent for thatYes, the way to understand this is not that LA is more sinful than the rest of the world, but that what we are seeing happen there will happen to us as well on the day of Judgement unless we repent.
Only you would equate paying close attention to what is going on as "rejoicing about people's houses being burned"Only one of us is rejoicing about people's houses being burned. Repent for that
Let's hope the Mayor's investigation includes determining if this had an impact
Massive Palisades fire now threatens nearby Brentwood and Encino
Do not worry the mayor is going to do a complete investigation after the fires are put out to see if there was anything they could have done to keep from having an area the size of Atlanta Georgia burn down every time it gets windy in LA.

I am watching and warning concerning the Lord's coming. I have been doing that since the day I came to this forum.
Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
So I'll listen to the Lord and file your suggestions where they belong.
Jesus said that you must forgive 70x7 times. That is 490 times. That is a very long time, but it is not infinite, it is not eternity, at some point you must appear before the judgement seat.you can watch, as Jesus said.
but, reading Revelations should make you a bit sad about the judgement being brought to non-believers...
Jesus said that you must forgive 70x7 times. That is 490 times. That is a very long time, but it is not infinite, it is not eternity, at some point you must appear before the judgement seat.
The gospel was preached to the four corners of the earth. If you give each corner 490 years to repent that comes to 1,960 years. The next year could therefore be the year that judgment falls. 1961 +70 AD when the temple was destroyed the church was dispersed to the four corners of the earth gives you 2031 AD.
This is not a trivial conjecture. Jesus said the only sign that would be given this evil and adulterous age is the sign of Jonah. In that sign Jonah preached for forty days walking up and down throughout the streets telling them to repent for in 40 days they will be overthrown. 1,961 years is 40 jubilees. Because the jubilee year is the 50th year many think 40 jubilees would be 2,000 years. But that is not how a jubilee is calculated. The Jews measure years by seven, a week of years. After seven weeks of years, the next year is the jubilee year which is also the first year of the 8th week. Ten jubilees would be 10x49+1 or 491 years. 40 jubilees is 40x49+1 = 1961 years.
Just like when you take an exam that has a time limit. Time is up. I am not sad about this, because this age was always supposed to be temporary with a wedding at the end. Everyone has been invited, if they don't want to go, that is up to them. If they would rather have a big house with a swimming pool on the Palisades in California, that is their choice. God respects man's right to free will. As for me, I would rather have Jesus.
So that means we don't know the day of the rapture. OK, but did Jesus ever say we don't know the day that the two witnesses are killed? No. In fact Paul said that the Holy days in the Bible are a shadow of things to come.i basically agree, but also, when Jesus said no man knows the day and the hour, that means everyone.
so, if you watch, you do not to try to figure out when , you will be ready whenever the time comes.
as i heard a pastor say a long time ago, " stay ready, then you won't have to get ready".
