Welcome to the Unraveling the Scriptures channel.
channel.
Sodom, a vibrant and pulsating
metropolis teamed with the intoxicating
energy of commerce, music, and an
incessant chorus of voices. Its
inhabitants, driven by an almost
feverish urgency, crossed the streets
with eyes full of insatiable desires and
hearts devoid of any fear. Abundance was
visible on every corner. Fleeting
pleasures, shady deals, uninhibited
laughter, and parties that seemed
endless. An unwary observer could easily
mistake it for the pinnacle of earthly prosperity.
prosperity.
Yet beneath this facade of opulence, a
silent and insidious rot was taking
root. The streets, though crowded,
harbored a spiritual blindness. The
altars, empty, stirred no longing. The
windows open to the world revealed skies
tightly shut. Arrogance echoed in their
hearts. God, what God? Not even he would
dare stop us. Far from there, under the
relentless heat of the desert, a man of
unwavering faith, Abraham, received the
visit of three enigmatic figures. They
were not mere weary travelers, but
divine messengers bearing a transcendent
purpose. Two of them were angels,
celestial beings, while the third was
the Lord himself in a theophanic
manifestation. They brought with them a
mission of judgment, and the name of
Sodom echoed among the first cities to
be confronted for its iniquity. Abraham,
with his keen spiritual sensitivity,
felt the weight of the revelation. He
understood that a cataclysmic event was
imminent, that Sodom would not survive
the coming dawn. In an act of deep
intercession, he cried out for justice
and mercy. But the divine verdict had
already been sealed. Meanwhile, in the
streets of Sodom, life went on in its
unrestrained course. Laughter, dancing,
and sin intertwined in a web of selfdeception.
selfdeception.
No one paused to reflect. No one
suspected that the ground beneath their
feet was about to give way, that the
heavens, once ignored, had risen in
judgment. The punishment was in motion, inexurable.
inexurable.
When the flames began to fall, there
would be no refuge. Homes, temples,
palaces, children, animals, everything
would be consumed. For when God closes
the heavens, it is to open the earth,
and what was coming would not be a mere
warning, but the end of an era. Abraham,
the patriarch of faith, lived a nomadic
life among tents and altars, far from
the walls of corrupted cities.
Surrounded by his loyal servants,
prosperous flocks and divine promises,
his eyes, though aged by time, still
sought the direction of heaven. His
heart remained vigilant, attentive to
the voice of the one who had called him
out from among the Calaldanss from Er.
The blessing he carried, however, was
not confined to himself. It extended,
reaching Lot, his nephew, who prospered
alongside him, accumulating wealth,
servants, cattle, and influence.
Over time, the land became insufficient
for the magnitude of their possessions.
Abrahams and Lot's shepherds, amid
growing prosperity, began to dispute
over pastures, wells, and paths. A
silent but dangerous discord threatened
to erode the bond of blood and faith
that united them. Then Abraham filled
with humility and divinely inspired
wisdom proposed a separation. He called
Lot and with firmness and gentleness
spoke the words that would seal their
destinies. Let there be no strife
between me and you, between my shepherds
and yours. For we are relatives. Is not
the whole land before you. Choose where
you will go. If you go to the left, I
will go to the right. If you go to the
right, I will go to the left. Lot then
lifted his eyes, and what he saw deeply
seduced him. The plain of the Jordan,
fertile and abundant, stretched out
before him like a verdant carpet,
irrigated and full of promise. In the
heart of that valley gleamed Sodom, a
city that at first glance seemed the
embodiment of prosperity. Without
hesitation, without seeking divine
guidance, without weighing the spiritual
consequences of his choice, Lot chose by
appearance. He went eastward, separating
from his uncle and pitched his tents
near Sodom. Over time, proximity became
involvement. He entered the city and was
soon seated among the judges at the
gate, immersed in the local culture and
customs. He blended in, adapted, became
involved. Abraham, on the other hand,
remained faithful to his journey. He was
not moved by appearances, nor did he
choose with carnal eyes. He continued
his pilgrimage through deserts, keeping
his altar burning and his faith alive.
And it was on one of those hot, silent
days that three men appeared before him.
They did not present themselves with
grand titles, nor did they bring
imposing armies, but there was in them
an authority that made time stop.
Abraham ran to meet them, bowed low to
the ground in reverence, and begged them
to stay. He prepared bread and meat, and
offered shade, demonstrating the
hospitality that was the hallmark of his
faith. He did not understand everything,
but he felt in his spirit that heaven
was in motion and that those men were
not there by chance. They ate with him,
accepted his hospitality, and as they
rose, they turned their faces toward the
plain. It was Sodom.
And then while two of them went on
toward the city, the third remained.
Abraham stood before him. And it was at
that moment that God spoke, not with
thunderous roars, but with a clarity
that pierced the soul. Shall I hide from
Abraham what I am about to do? He will
become a great nation, and all the
nations of the earth will be blessed in
him. And the Lord while reaffirming his
covenant revealed his imminent judgment.
The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is
great and their sin is very grievous. I
will go down now and see whether they
have done altogether according to the
outcry that has come to me. And if not,
I will know. It was not divine doubt,
but the confirmation of a just judgment
about to begin. Abraham heard, and his
heart tightened. He knew that the time
of divine patience was running out, that
evil had reached its limit. Heaven was
about to descend in judgment. See, but
Sodom did not fall in a single night.
Its downfall was a gradual process, a
slow and inexurable bending, like a knee
bowing, not to the most high, but to the
abyss of its own depravity. What began
with silent concessions and minor
transgressions culminated in public
celebrations of iniquity. In the
squares, grotesque and imposing statues
of pagan idols replaced the ancient
markers of faith and morality. Men
dressed as foreign gods in rituals of
worship to obscure deities, while women
consecrated their wombs in fertility
rights where children were not loved but
offered in heinous sacrifices.
The smoke of these offerings clouded the
sky, mingling with the nauseating scent
of spilled wine and fresh blood. Cries
of triumph echoed through the plazas.
This is the time of our dominion. And
the city, intoxicated with its own
vanity, applauded, danced, and made love
to its own reflection. Justice was
corrupted at its deepest roots. Verdicts
were bought and judges gathered at
nightly banquetss where sentences were
decided with flesh, gold, and once again
flesh. The poor who cried for justice
were silenced with the rod of
oppression. The widow was cast out of
her home so nobles could take her for
pleasure. The orphan who begged for
bread was sold for a coin. In the dark
alleys, the poor cried out in despair,
"If we cannot eat, we are already dead."
But no one listened, or if they did,
they laughed with scorn. In the shadows
of an alley, a boy covered his face. A
helpless witness to two men dragging a
young woman behind a temple toward a
terrible fate. No one intervened. It was
tradition, freedom, the custom of the
city. And high above in the palaces, the
rulers raised silver goblets, each
engraved with a pagan symbol. Each toast
a direct affront to the eternal. Their
advisers in their arrogance declared,
"If the God of Abraham exists, let him
speak. Until then, we shall be gods."
The words were hurled like spears into
the heavens, and the heavens for the
moment remained silent. Among the
perversions that defiled Sodom, there
was one that wounded even the wind, an
abomination that challenged the very
order of creation. The men of Sodom
burned with lust for one another, not in
secret, but in public squares, flaunting
their depravity without shame. They took
by force what they desired and mocked
those who dared to resist. They called
unrestrained desire virtue and the
surrender to lust nobility.
Houses were open to every kind of
profane union under the pretense that
there is no law over love. But what
existed there was not love. It was
domination, lust, possession, and a
brazen mockery of the creator. Boys were
taken as tribute, youths as trophies.
And the elders taught the younger ones
to defile as if it were an initiation
right into sodomite life. And the women,
scorned and objectified, did the same
among themselves, selling their bodies
as a challenge to heaven. It was as if
the entire city with one voice shouted,
"We will do with our bodies what we
wish, and whoever dares oppose us shall
be forgotten."
Sodom's pride was not only of the flesh,
but of a heart made of stone, sculpted
by arrogance. It lay in the pleasure of
domination, of humiliation, of wielding
power over others. Foreigners arriving
in the city were first welcomed, then
tested in their morality and finally
corrupted or destroyed. Those who
resisted simply vanished. Houses adorned
outwardly with luxury and beauty hid
death pacts within. The broad streets
where chariots drawn by gleaming beasts
passed concealed the bodies of those
discarded into the sewers of inequality
and injustice. Yet amid the alleys and
broken rooftops, a different sound still
echoed, a whisper, a forgotten name, a
distant memory of the God of justice. A
few, very few, still prayed in silence,
hidden away. But their voices were
faint. Their cry could not drown out the
deafening noise of the city's revalry
and depravity. Then on a moonless night,
a star fell, small, almost invisible,
but streaked across the sky as a
warning, a sign of what was to come. And
in the silence of the heavens, an angel
moved. Night fell upon the plane with an
eerie, almost supernatural slowness, as
if time itself were holding its breath
for an imminent event. The city of
Sodom, unaware of its fate, continued in
its usual rhythm, loud, careless, filled
with the smoke of banquetss, brazen
laughter, and profane music. But on that
night, two unusual travelers passed
through its gates. There was no light
upon them, no grand proclamation, but
they carried a presence that carnal
eyes, darkened by iniquity, could not
perceive. They were the angels sent by
Jehovah, the God of Abraham. And no one
received them with reverence. No one
except one man, Lot. He was sitting at
the city gate among the judges, as he
did every day, immersed in the routine
of that place. Upon seeing the two
strangers, and even after so many years
of living among the depraved customs of
Sodom, something within him still
recognized holiness and the sacred duty
of hospitality.
He rose quickly, bowed with his face to
the ground, and spoke with urgency,
almost pleading, "Now, my lords, please
turn aside into your servants house and
spend the night. Wash your feet, and in
the morning you may rise and go your
way." They, fully aware of the danger
lurking in the city, replied, "No, we
will spend the night in the square." But
Lot insisted more strongly, knowing the
peril hidden in every shadow on every
corner of that corrupted city. He knew
what happened at night in Sodom. At his
urging, they agreed. In Lot's house,
everything was prepared quickly.
Unleavened bread, a place to rest, no
questions asked, no names revealed.
But the city did not sleep. The news of
the arrival of two unknown men spread
like a spark through dry fields. Before
the visitors could even lie down, a mob
composed of men from all parts of the
city, young and old, without exception,
surrounded Lot's house. They pounded on
the door, shouting wildly and demanded,
"Where are the men who came to you
tonight? Bring them out to us so that we
may know them." It was a crude, direct,
and collective demand driven by
unrestrained lust. They didn't just want
to see them. They wanted to dominate
them, humiliate them, use them as a
spectacle of their depravity. In
desperation, Lot went outside, shut the
door behind him, and tried to reason
with them, speaking words that revealed
how deeply he had been affected by the
culture of Sodom. I beg you, my
brothers, do not act so wickedly. I have
two daughters who have not known a man.
Let me bring them out to you, and you
can do with them as you please. only do
nothing to these men, for they have come
under the protection of my roof." His
proposal was monstrous, exposing a heart
torn and corrupted by a culture where
the logic of protection had been
inverted. He was willing to sacrifice
his own daughters in the name of a
broken law of hospitality. In a
desperate attempt to appease the fury of
the mob, but the crowd cared nothing for
Lot's hospitality, only for the
fulfillment of their perverse desires,
they surged forward against Lot,
threatening him, and began to break down
the door to reach the visitors. Then the
angels, revealing their true nature and
power, reached out, pulled Lot back into
the house, and shut the door. They then
struck the men at the door with
blindness from the least to the
greatest, so that they wearied
themselves trying to find the door. The
physical blindness mirrored the
spiritual blindness that had already
overtaken Sodom. The angels then
revealed to Lot the purpose of their
visit, to destroy the city, for the
outcry against it had reached the Lord.
They instructed Lot to gather his
family, his wife, sons-in-law,
daughters, or anyone else in the city
who belongs to you. take them out of
here because we are going to destroy
this place. The tone was not a warning.
It was an irrevocable sentence. The sin
of the city had reached its limit. The
final chance had passed, and in that
moment, heaven prepared to descend in judgment.
judgment.
Dawn had not yet fully broken when the
angels urged Lot to act. But he remained
still, hesitant, as if unable to grasp
the gravity of what he had just heard.
The sentence had been declared.
Destruction was imminent. Yet he
lingered, looking around as if searching
for something to save. Perhaps his
possessions, perhaps his past, perhaps
one last comfort. The angels did not
wait for Lot's faith. They acted on
God's mercy. They took his hand, the
hand of his wife, and those of his two
daughters, and led them out of the city,
for the text clearly states, "The Lord
was merciful to him." Once outside the
walls, the angels gave their final
command. Flee for your lives. Don't stop
anywhere in the plane. Don't look back.
But Lot still hesitated. The mountains
seemed distant, the desert uncertain. He
replied, "Please let me flee to that
small town over there. It's close and I
can survive there. It's just a little
one. Let us take refuge there." The
angel agreed and said, "Very well. I
will spare that town for your sake, but
go quickly. I cannot do anything until
you arrive there. Lot ran with his
family toward that small town called
Zor. Behind them, the sky began to
change. The wind ceased. The clouds
closed in. The silence of judgment took
over the plane. And at the very moment
Lot entered the city limits, judgment
began. Fire came down from the sky, not
a natural flame, but a burning rain of
sulfur and fire sent directly from the
Lord. The earth shook, the hills split
apart. Homes collapsed in seconds.
Screams echoed and vanished. The beauty
of the plain was consumed in fire. The
deceptive promise of Sodom turned to
dust. In the midst of the escape, during
the very act of running, Lot's wife, who
was beside him, turned her head and
looked back. She disobeyed the clear
order of the messengers. It was not just
her eyes, but her heart, her attachment
to that city, to what she had built
there, spoke louder. Perhaps she wanted
to see if it was true. Perhaps she
longed for her home. Perhaps she mourned
what she was leaving behind, but heaven
did not allow it. In that same instant,
she was turned into a pillar of salt.
Her body stiffened. She stopped and was
left behind. A lasting mark of
disobedience and hesitation. A silent
monument to the danger of loving the
world more than salvation. Lot
continued, but now without his wife,
without a past, without a home, he
arrived in Zor, but there was no relief.
The destruction continued in the
distance. The heavens remained closed.
The smoke rose like an endless column.
He was saved, but not whole, not clean,
not at peace. He had been pulled out by
grace, but his heart still trembled for
what he had lost and what he had
allowed. But that still wasn't the end.
There was something more in the valley
of destruction. Lot found refuge in Zor.
But though the fire had ceased, the fear
had not left his heart. The city, though
spared, still seemed too close to the
memory of judgment. Fleeing once more,
he took his two daughters to the
mountains, hiding in a dark cave where
silence reigned and no word was directed
to God. No altar was raised, no
repentance recorded. He had been saved,
but not transformed. His daughters,
believing the world had ended, or using
that belief as an excuse for faithless
action, devised a desperate, godless
solution. They made their father drunk
night after night, and in complete
stuper he lay with both of them,
unaware, unseeing, unresisting.
From each daughter came a son, Moab from
the elder and Ben Amami from the
younger. Names that would become the
roots of entire peoples, future enemies
of God's people, living marks of the
distorted legacy of a generation that
survived judgment but did not escape its
consequences. And in that darkness of
the cave, after everything, Lot, finally
sober, lifted his eyes to the stone
ceiling, and murmured with a trembling
voice, "God of heaven, you saved my
body, but what remains of me. What I
lost was more than stones and rooftops.
Lot left Sodom alive, but he carried
Sodom within him." And while the city
burned in the valley, the echo of its
sin kept growing in the shadows of the
cave. Sodom was reduced to ashes, but
its story lives on. Not only in the
pages of scripture, but in hearts that
reject the fear of God. In cities that
celebrate sin and mock holiness, in
cultures that turn perversion into a
right and truth into an offense. The
cries of injustice, the blood of the
innocent, the pleas of the oppressed,
they all still rise to heaven. And
heaven still hears, but it also still responds.
responds.
