2. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
Genesis 19 verses
The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

3. Sodom and Gomorrah Sitting in the gates
The gates was where the seat of government was.
Where decisions were made
Where counsels of war were discussed
Where rules and laws for the city were established

4. Sodom and Gomorrah Recognition and deference Hospitality
In some respects the same as Abraham
All ages and ranks wanted to be involved in the homosexual rape of the men
Abomination
Leviticus 18 verse 22
Leviticus 20 verse 13
Romans 1 verse 32

5. Sodom and Gomorrah Lot’s daughters Offenders
Shows how depraved and compromised Lot was
Yet Lot is described as righteous (2 Peter 2 verse 7)
And vexed by what he saw (verses 8 and 9)
Offenders
Great and small – all ranks
So driven that even when blinded they continued to try to find the door
Blindness before judgement
Persistent sin results in being ‘given over’ (Romans 1 verse 24 & 26)

6. Sodom and Gomorrah Have you anyone else here Urged to hurry
An inventory of fruit perhaps
Contrast Abraham and Lot – Abraham separate and fruitful, Lot compromised and unfruitful
Abraham highly regarded – when he announced circumcision they all agreed
Lot not highly regarded – when he spoke they thought he was joking
Urged to hurry
Taken by the hand – dragged?
Still reluctant and didn’t want to go to the mountains?

7. Sodom and Gomorrah Remember Lot’s wife – she was probably vapourised
Luke 17 verses 26 to 32 – end times parallel
Genesis 19 verse 22 – I cannot do anything until you arrive there.
God would not send his judgement until the righteous had left
God will not send his judgement on the earth until the righteous have been raptured
The Lord rained brimstone and fire out of heaven
Brimstone is sulphur
2700 degrees C or thereabouts
Toxic fumes

8. Sodom and Gomorrah
Nothing grows there

9. Sodom and Gomorrah
Lots of salt – pillars of it!

10. Sodom and Gomorrah The cites of Admah and Zeboiim were destroyed with
Sodom and Gomorrah – Zoar was spared

12. Sodom and Gomorrah Abraham’s intercession was effective
Lot and his two daughters were saved
Others could have been if they had believed
Jesus’ intercession will be effective
We will be saved if we believe
Many more could be saved if they would believe
