was on the judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah. Christians are regularly mocked for clinging to this "fable" as an example not to tolerate homosexual behavior. Geological evidence proves this once well watered plain, now total desolate desert, did experience a Lu Lu of a relatively recent geological event. A well proven scientific fact.
The mocking is spot on. It's a historical fact and is indeed a recorded illustration of how sinful and forbidden behavior will garner long suffering judgement. History repeats. That's why it is recorded in King's English for us.
Abraham's brother Lot had first choice and settled in Sodom. It seems his Godly influence was not fruitful. When Angles came to see if there were at least (10) righteous people in the entire city, so it would be spared, they were met by vicious homo mobs! Lot was in a dither worried about the Angel's well being (terribly misplaced concern). They struck the mob blind and told Lot "hey in the morning we are out of here, it's toast". Only Lot and his wife, two daughters, made it out of the city. That's four in the entire city. Non of his in-laws, friends, no one else made it out. There are many other points but that is the gist.
Abraham was concerned that the righteous would be destroyed with the unrighteous. That is why he interceded. God allowed it to teach a lesson. HE does what is right, always. Sin has judgement, period. The timing of it can be variable by God's will, but it's a fixed fact.
They have a tough row to hoe coming. It's wise to distance oneself from that crowd. Not to get hit by shrapnel, and do not look back! You can inform those who will listen, it's a duty in fact, but you cannot make them believe, it's their choice.
