The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, John Martin, 1852.

[Genesis 18:20-33 KJV]  And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; [21]  I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.  [22]  And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. [23]  And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?  [24]  Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? [25]  That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?  [26]  And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.  [27]  And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:  [28]  Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.   [29]  And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.  [30]  And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.  [31]  And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.  [32]  And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.  [33]  And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

God, the Judge of all the earth, told Abraham go find ten good men and He wouldn’t destroy the cities.  Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.  Ten decent people in the two towns weren’t found and things went very bad for Sodom and Gomorrah.  But God spared the righteous family of Lot, Abraham’s brother.  Note that Lot had one wife.  They did not practice sodomy.  They were not fornicating. Lot’s sons-in-law, I’m not so sure about.  Those deluded nitwits refused to heed the warning of Lot and chose to stay behind.  So Lot took his wife and his two daughters.  (We know Lot’s wife left but she couldn’t resist longing for her old possessions and old life and she was turned into a pillar of stone – only after God warned her.  God always sends a warning before a judgment comes. [Genesis 19:26]

Getting Nuked would be very offensive! God's judgment would be offensive if you lived in Sodom or Gomorrah too. God's Final Judgment will be extremely offensive to all unrepentant, unsaved sinners and very joyful to the Redeemed of Jesus Christ!

To entice you to get out your Bible, dust it off and read it, I’m not going to reprint Genesis 19:1-18, but please go read it for yourself in the King James Version.  All quotes come from the KJV.  If you don’t have a King James Bible, go to a Family Dollar or Dollar General and buy one for somewhere between $1 and $3.  Or check out www.e-sword.net and download a King James Version there, plus many more things like Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening Devotional,” and “Webster’s 1811 Dictionary” where you’ll read, for example, the real meaning of the word “gay.”

Beginning in [Genesis 19:24]  Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; [25]  And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

Whoa!  That’s pretty tough!  Wow!  In fact it kind of sounds like a nuclear bomb going off, doesn’t it?  On a post I made recently about New York legalizing what God has already said is sin (same-sex sex).  I put a picture of a nuclear bomb destroying a big city with the implication, “What do you think God will do?”  Well, someone found that offensive.  Not surprised about that.  Getting nuked.  Criminy!  That would be offensive, especially if you lived there!

The problem is that man talks a lot.  Man thinks he’s the big cheese, but God rules and God judges and God destroys that whichever or whomever He decides to destroy whenever He chooses to do it.  God cannot stand to look at sin and eventually God destroys all that is sinful – and when God destroys something, it’s very offensive!  Hell is even more offensive than a nuclear bomb!

That’s why I try to stay on His good side.  Makes sense to me, aye?  That’s called good “common sense” something about ninety-percent of the population of the USA had ingrained into them when the school system was based upon the Creator of Good Sense – otherwise known as God – otherwise called “Wisdom”!  Read the Proverbs!  The Proverbs are loaded with Wisdom!  There’s only thirty-one of them.  In fact, it’s a good idea to read one a day (getting through all thirty-one in a month) and rereading them twelve times a year.  Do that for the rest of your life!  That’s how much goodness of wisdom is there to be learned.

Jesus warned that many who think they are saved are not. Workers of iniquity are NOT saved. Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. "
