book excerpt

SODOM AND GOMORRAH Ancient Syrian cities Sodom and Gomorrah were situated in the Jordan Valley. When Lot, Abraham’s nephew, lived there with his immediate family, heavenly fire consumed the cities (Genesis 19:24). The evil of the city of Sodom became legendary. Sodomy was a crime against the natural world that was typically connected to idolatry. To warn those who reject the faith in God, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is presented as an example (Matthew 10:15; 11:24; 2 Peter 2:6; Jude 1:7). The word is used in its typical context in Revelation 11:8. Most likely, Sodom was situated on the now-submerged plain south of the Dead Sea. Sodom And Gomorrah In the Bible The Bible's sorrowful account of Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a reminder of how much God detests sin. The two angels who visited Abraham together with the Lord were disguised as three men, were sent to Sodom and Gomorrah. The Lord informed Abraham that he would demolish the city because of the crimes of the inhabitants. In addition, God promised Abraham that if he could only locate ten good people, he would spare them and spare Sodom and Gomorrah. When the two angels reached Sodom and Gomorrah, a man by the name of Lot invited them to rest at his house. Lot’s home was then visited by some city men who requested of him, to deliver the two guests so that they may engage in sexual contact with them. Lot, in order to defend and safeguard the two angels, offered the men his only two daughters who were virgins in their place. The angry men tried to enter Lot’s house, but the angels inflicted them with blindness and escorted Lot and his family out of the city. What Do We Know About Sodom? Sodom, whose name means “to burn” in Hebrew language, and “burning” in Greek, was close to Siddim Valley city. (Genesis 13:10; 14:1-16). Due to the residents’ immorality, heavenly fire descended upon it, destroying it (Genesis 18:16-33; 19:1-29; Deuteronomy 23:17). The Bible regularly makes reference to this city and the horrible catastrophe it experienced (Deuteronomy 29:23; Isaiah 1:9 Isaiah 1:10; Jeremiah 23:14; Ezekiel 16:46-5; Zephaniah 2:9; Matthew 10:15; Romans 9:29; 2 Peter 2:6, etc.). There is no evidence of it or the other plain cities because they were utterly obliterated. Jebel Usdum, or “the hill of Sodom,” is a group of low hills that constitute a mass of mineral salt on the southwest shore of the Dead Sea, directly across from the site of Zoar.
