AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF LOT (Part 1)

PROLOGUE

“Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” (Luke 17:28-30).

As one who has been miraculously delivered from the sin of homosexuality, I can say with assurance there are many signs that we can see as we look around at the world we are living in that prove Jesus’ words to be true.The world will display dramatic increases in depravity that will characterize the hastening conclusion of this age.

LOT SEPARATES

Our narrative of Sodom begins in Genesis 13:12-13:

 “Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the Lord.”

Sodom was a city at the southern end of the Dead Sea. Together with her sister cities, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar, Sodom formed the famous pentapolis of the plain or circle of the Jordan in the valley that surrounded the Dead Sea (Genesis 10:19; 13:10; 14:2). Lot made an excellent yet selfish choice, from a worldly point of view. It was spiritually disastrous, because it drew Lot into the notorious wickedness and perversion of the city of Sodom.
