"The last thing we need is a bunch of bureaucrats telling us how to build our communities," Gibson added. 

The 69-year-old says despite the mismanagement and the disaster, it is important to look at the upside and trust God. 

"You seek first the kingdom of God and you will always be ok," he said. "You'll get what you need. Look at the flowers of the field, look at the birds of the air. They get fed, they get clothed. That's Matthew I think."

Gibson's outlook said the loss of his home in the fires has been a "purification."

"Honestly, I see it as a blessing and a purification. Yeah, you lose. Yeah, it's going to be murder getting the insurance. It's going to be a real cluster-buster. [But] I got a lot of faith... [and] not in our elected officials," he pointed out. 

Gibson says now is the perfect time to begin preparing for a new role in "The Resurrection of the Christ" – the sequel to the 2004 blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ" featuring Jim Caviezel as Jesus. 

"Society is devolving...We need a reminder of the most basic things that form our civilization...Civilization (is)  being threatened," he said.

Gibson added, "I believe it's not in my timing. Man, I thought, it's too late. It's been 20 years. I thought 20 years may have been too late, but now it's perfect. And I have had all this taken and now it sort of frees me up to not worry about that stuff and just move ahead and do what I am being called to do. And I am being called to do it."
