California Watch
Psalm 107:33,34
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
California Watch: Update
To fully comprehend what is happening to California, please see the previous California Watch updates. This state is continuing to slide into economic bankruptcy and God’s judgment for its promotion of laws advancing abortion and homosexuality. To fully understand this, see my article about the Ordinances of the Amorites.
Commentary
I thought that the social unrest would start in the cities with welfare. It might start on the college campuses as the state has to raise tuition to help pay the cost of the schools. This has resulted in unrest on some of the campuses. It is only going to get worse.

Poor California: No money and no leadership 11/22/09 This article captures the essence of a people that are cursed of God. They have no leadership and are heading into poverty with no way out.
“To recap: the state’s chief budget analyst reported last week that California faces a $21-billion deficit through the next fiscal year. For the two budget years after that, deficits will total $44 billion more, the analyst said. Those are not updates on the budget deficits that California twice faced earlier this year; these are new projections. We are getting to the point when, if you take a long nap, you’re at risk of missing the next dire pronouncement.”
While reading this verse, think of what Isaiah wrote about how the Holy God of Israel judges a nation because or its wickedness. California is a perfect fit of these scriptures, but the entire nation is a long way down this road. Notice the social chaos in these verses.
Isaiah 3:1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.
3:2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, (3) The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
3:4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
3:5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
3:6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand: (7) In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
3:8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
3:9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
