Ep 21 - Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
Voyage | Book of Revelation & Genesis | Shalom World
Chapter 19 of the Book of Genesis reveals the wickedness that was prevalent in Sodom and why two angels were sent to deal with it. Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan discusses the importance of separating ourselves from evil, sin, and immorality. The sinfulness of Sodom is displayed when the entire population, both young and old, surround Lot's house and demand that he hand over the two angels staying with him so that they can engage in sexual acts with them. This is a deadly sin of lust that degrades all human beings and prioritizes pleasure over all other aspects. Lot was hesitant to leave the city and his heart had not changed, as he was still caught up in his selfish desires. However, the angels showed respect towards Lot and his family, taking them by the hand to safety. They were saved from the wrath of God that fell upon Sodom not because of their own goodness, but because of Abraham's intercession.
