    After God failed to appear in person or on TV a third of Cheo´s followers left him and moved back home or applying for a visa to live in the US. Cho then revised his predictions again the following week and moved his group to New York. The group is believed to have fizzled out there and the current whereabouts of Cheo Tao are unknown.

    This was a huge moment in the following history. Chen profiled that God would come down to Earth in San Dimas, California for which he and all of his followers migrated.
