I remember reading a book (on another subject) a while back where someone, who lives in L.A., said it was the center of occult universe for the world, and has been for a very long time. Dark and depraved.
God is exposing it all. More and more we are faced with making a DECISION in life; who will you stand with? Who will you worship? People see the wicked and they either reject/walk from it or align with it. The valley of decision.
