Sodom and Gomorrah



Sodom and Gomorrah
Roman 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabbath had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
 
Isaiah 1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
  • This daughter is symbolic of the remnant.
  • He will always protect her.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
  • Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
  • God said He would destroy every living being there, and except for Lot, He did.
  • Nine-five percent of the churches teach rapture and their congregations will accept ant-christ as their saviour when he comes.
  • If God had not set aside and sealed His remnant to carry through the truth, there would not be one to stand for Him against Satan.
  • Though all will worship Satan as anti-christ (except the remnant, there is remnant from all races) they will see God coming not to burn but to teach them.

2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
  • Lot offers the angels his home for the night

  • The angels and Lot enter Lot's home, Lot's made a feast, they did eat
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
  • Men from every quarter compassed Lot's house
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
  • The men telling Lot to bring out the men, the angels
  • We may know them - lie with man

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
  • Lot telling them, do not so wickedly
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
  • Can you see what's these men wanted?
  • Lot's offers his two virgins daughters to the men.
  • Read again what did Lot say? I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
  • Men telling Lot to stand back, they tried to break into Lot's home
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
  • The angels, put forth their hands, and pulled lot into the house
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
  • The angels smote the men, where they couldn't find the door
12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
  • The men still are not given up, they told Lot to come out, and all that was in Lot's home
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
  • The angels wants to destroy this place, The angels told Lot, the Lord sent us to destroy this city.

  • Lot went out, telling his family to get out of this place, for the Lord will destroy this city.
  • But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
  • One that mocked means talked nonsense
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
  • The angels told Lot to take his family and leave, because they were going to consumed the city
16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
  • The men tried to hold Lot and his family back. The Lord and the angels brought him out side the city.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
  • The angels told them to go, and do not look back, lest thou be consumed.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
  • Lot's saying, not so
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
  • Lot's saying, I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
 
21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
 
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
  • For I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
  • Sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of
heaven;
  • The LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of
    heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
  • Lot's wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
 
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
 
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
  • When God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
 
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
 
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
 
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
 
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yester night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our Father.
 
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
 
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
 
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
 
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
 
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
  • Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness..Who are them?
  • It could not be the Israelites, because in Romans 11:1, the question is asked, has God given up Israel?
  • Is there no difference?
  • And Paul states, God forbid, for I myself am an Israelite and he explains that God certainly did not give up Israel.
  • The souls who followed Satan and refused Christ.. these he did give up to uncleanness and the lust of their own hearts.
  • We can get a better fix on this lust of their own hearts by turning to John 8:44.
  • Jesus is speaking to this group and identifies them, saying, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
  • Ye are of your father, the devil, the partaker there even in the Garden of Eden.
  • "He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there was no truth in him.
  • When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it.
  • So the lust here to dishonor their own bodies between themselves is of the devil, the father of lust.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
  • They changed the truth of God into a lie, and this began in Genesis 3:4-5.
  • Satan said, surly the day you eat here of, you'll become wise, etc.
  • 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
  • Don't be deceived as Eve, by the serpent
  • The serpent wholly seduce her by deceiving her, through his  trickery or sophistry.
  • Beguiled: to seduce wholly, deceive, of uncertain derivation; to cheat
  • Subtilty:  trickery or sophistry
  • We see then a comparison in this day and age when the Kenites, that have slipped in among the Jewish people, return to Jerusalem even at this time and make ready for the false christ (Satan).
  • Today's churches teach that the Kenites are God's chosen people, and the layman is unaware of this delusion.
  • Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
    5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
  • Of course, this is talking about a sexual abuse of the body here.
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
  • John 8:44, we see the father of the evil lust.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
  • 2 Thessalonians 2 , it says because they believe not the truth, God has sent them strong delusions.
  • More or less says, as they rejected God, then God in turn rejected them.
  • 1 Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own country men, even as they have of the Jews:
  • You have followed the example of the churches in Judea and have suffered of your people the same as those in Jerusalem suffered of the Jews, meaning the Kenites and Paul identifies them in the next verse.
    • 15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
  • Paul is talking about the Kenites here directly and pretty strongly.
  • He's blaming the death of Christ upon them and accuses them of ungodliness.
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
  • We see that 1 Thessalonians 2, certainly speaks the truth in those 14th and 15th verses.
31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
  • So we see then that Lucifer and his following did these things, knowing they were contrary to God's plan in addition they take pleasure in converts to their synagogue for participation in these evil deeds.
Romans 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabbath had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
  • Esaias = Isaiah
  • Isaiah 1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
  • This daughter is symbolic of the remnant.
  • He will always protect her.
    • 9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
  • Why would the end times be as Sodom and Gomorrah?
  • Most churches of today will accept the Kenites messiah, the false one that they have been told is Christ.
  • If there were not that small remnant that knew the false christ was going to return to this earth before the real Christ Jesus comes... if it were not for this small remnant, the whole world would worship the false messiah.
  • And Again, we would truly have a Sodom and Gomorrah.
  • But, the Lord left us a seed.
  • You of the elect will be deliver up when the false christ does appear, and you will avert this catastrophe.
  • Mark 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
    10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
    11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
  • Once you are deliver up, God will speak through you.
  • This is the time the 144,000 will know that they have worshipped Satan and pray for the mountains to fall on them.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
  • Exhortation = Diligence
  • What the apostolic witness was not = A myth
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
  • They like to speak evil about anything that has to do with Christ.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
  • The cities of Sodom and Gomorrha = an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
 
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
  • Reasons = Positive and Negative.
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
  • They like to speak evil about anything that has to do with Christ.
  • 2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
  • Government = dominion
  • Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
  • Jude 8-10 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
    9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
    10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
    11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
  • Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
    8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
    9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
    10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
    11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
  • Presumptuous = Daring = Only here. self willed.
  • Are not afraid = do not tremble.
  • Speak evil of = blaspheme, as 2 Peter 2:2.
  • Verse 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
  • Dignities = Literally glories = used as a title.
11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
  • Don’t argue with Satan! You know better.
  • Order him out or he will deceive you.
  • Instinctively throw him out!
12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
  • We can all join hands and worship together and then allow all sorts of corruption.
  • Worship based on anything other than God’s Word can be dangerously misleading.
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
 
Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
  • Cain killed his brother Abel
  • Cain was of Satan's seed
  • John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
    45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
  • Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
  • Cain, His way was that of natural religion, not the way God had appointed.
  • Ran greedily = rushed. Literally were poured out. Often translated "shed".
  • Core = Korah, as the two others, resisted the declared will of God.
  • After the error of Balaam means they're me people, they only think about their ways
  • How did Satan deceive Eve? With lies
  • 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
    4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
  • The serpent wholly seduce her by deceiving her, through his trickery or sophistry.

  • God set a mark on Satan and his seed from the beginning were you would not be deceived.
  • This mark is how you believe, your actions, your works
  • Genesis 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
    3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
    4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
    5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
  • What did Satan do to Eve? Satan deceived her through lies. What does Satan and his seed do today? They lie, they bring in Babylon, confusion. Have you listen to most of the lying media?
  • Serpent is another name of Satan = Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
  • Twice dead =  first dead is of the flesh and some will have second dead of their soul the wicked
  • Revelation 20:14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
  • Revelation 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
  • 2 Corinthians 5:5-10  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
  • God has already judged these 7,000 to death, from Genesis 6 the fallen angles
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
  • Enoch was an Pastor teaching against the fallen angels
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
  • God's very elect wants to help others, they are not for themself
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

2 Esdras 2:7 Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their names be put out of the earth: for they have despised my covenant.

8 Woe be unto thee, Assur, thou that hidest the unrighteous in thee! O thou wicked people, remember what I did unto Sodom and Gomorrha;

9 Whose land lieth in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes: even so also will I do unto them that hear me not, saith the Almighty Lord.

10 Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel.

11 Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them.

12 They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour; they shall neither labour, nor be weary.

13 Go, and ye shall receive: pray for few days unto you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you: watch.
 
Genesis 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
 
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
 
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
