Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. – Genesis 19:24-25
This is the end of Sodom and Gomorrah—the moment when God executed judgment on them and the surrounding cities. But how did we get there? In getting to this end, you will discover what I will call some inconvenient truths about Sodom and Gomorrah. The truths are inconvenient because we don't want to acknowledge them or simply because, sometimes, we forget them. In the Bible, the beauty of the Scriptures is that God gives you truth...sometimes it feels good, and sometimes it doesn't. As they say in church, sometimes you say 'amen,' and if you can't say 'amen,' say 'ouch.' This story is filled with those types of moments. Photo Credit: ©Getty Images/nikkytok |
