🔥 Is LA (California) the Modern Sodom & Gomorrah?
✞ Feasts of The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church; Today, Tir 7 or January 15 (This video is exactly 7 minutes in length. I didn't plan it, wow!)
✞✞✞On this day we commemorate the Rulers of the World, the Holy Trinity✞✞✞
This month commemorates the saving of Lot and his family, who lived among the people of Sodom and Gomorrah – who were living in the midst of sodomy and polygamy – and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by the Holy Trinity. Genesis 19:1-29
The Destruction of Sodom and the Future Judgment
The reasons for God’s judgment against the “great sinners” of Sodom and how its destruction points to a greater future punishment to come.
Why Was Sodom Destroyed?
In Genesis 13, because Abram (Abraham) and his nephew Lot have become affluent in flocks and herds, strife breaks out between their herdsmen as the land can no longer sustain all their possessions (Genesis 13:6–7). Abraham, therefore, proposes that he and Lot separate, and he gives Lot the choice of the whole land (Genesis 13:9). Lot chose “all the Jordan Valley” (Genesis 13:11) because it was “well-watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt …” (Genesis 13:10). Abraham settled in the land of Canaan, by the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron (Genesis 13:18), but Lot journeyed eastward and “settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom” (Genesis 13:12).
Although Lot was not living in Sodom at this point, it did not take long for Lot to move into that wicked city (Genesis 14:12). It seems that Lot did not influence Sodom, but rather Sodom influenced Lot. From the time that Lot left Abraham to his living in Sodom and its destruction, a little over 20 years had passed.2
In Genesis 18, the LORD appears to Abraham and announces his intention that Sodom is to be destroyed because its sin is “very grave” (Genesis 18:20). The men of Sodom were previously described as “wicked, great sinners against the LORD” (Genesis 13:13). The latter term “wicked” (raʿ) is also used to describe the people at the time of the flood (Genesis 6:5, 8:21) and indicates that the people of Sodom’s “sins deserved the same catastrophic response from God.”3 But what was the wickedness of Sodom?
The main issue that Genesis 19 focuses on is the fact that all the men of Sodom want to “know” (yādaʿ4) the angelical visitors: in other words, to have sexual relations with them (Genesis 19:4–5; cf. Genesis 4:1). It is no wonder that the sin of Sodom was described as “very grave” as the men of Sodom had “unnatural desires” (Jude 7) wanting to commit a shameless act (cf. Romans 1:26–27).
Nevertheless, it is important to realize that Sodom was guilty of many other sins than homosexuality. In later biblical history, the prophets compared the social injustices committed by God’s chosen people Israel/Judah to the people of Sodom: gluttony, prosperous ease, not aiding the poor, haughtiness, injustice (Isaiah 1:17, 3:9), adultery, lying, and an unwillingness to repent (Jeremiah 23:14).
The prophet Ezekiel also points out that the guilt of Sodom was: “pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me” (Ezekiel 16:49–50). Although some argue that Ezekiel does not mention homosexual behavior as one of the sins of Sodom, this overlooks the fact that the Hebrew word abomination (tôʿēbâ) refers to sexual immorality, specifically homosexual intercourse proscribed in Leviticus 18:22; 20:13 (cf. 1 Corinthians 6:9).
In the end, God justly judged Sodom and Gomorrah not only because of its wicked behavior, but because ten righteous people could not be found there (Genesis 18:23–32). Even though he had lived in Sodom for just over 20 years, it seems righteous Lot (2 Peter 2:7–8) had no impact upon the city of Sodom.
The Destruction of Sodom
The destruction of Sodom (c. 2067 BC)5, takes place in Genesis 19 after Lot, his wife,6 and two daughters, with the help of the two angels, escape Sodom and flee to Zoar (Genesis 19:20–22).
The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. (Genesis 19:23–25)
Moses uses the language of the flood in Genesis 6–7 to describe the destruction of Sodom. Just as God sent the waters of the flood that “rained” (mamṭîr, Genesis 7:4) down on the earth in the days of Noah so he “rained” (himṭîr) down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah in a fiery deluge. The fiery deluge “destroyed” (šaḥēt) Sodom, as the earth was destroyed by water at the time of the flood (see Genesis 13:10, 19:29, cf. 6:13, 17).7
Through the raining down of sulfur and fire, God “overthrew” (hăpōk) Sodom, the valley, all the inhabitants, and everything that grew on the ground. Everything was destroyed: it was a total catastrophe. The Greek translation of the Old Testament (LXX) translates the Hebrew word hăpōk as katestrephen, which is the source for the word catastrophe. The same word is used in the New Testament when Jesus cleanses the temple and “overturned [katestrephen] the tables of the money-changers” (Matthew 21:12).
The apostle Peter’s description of Sodom’s “extinction” (katastrophe) fits well with the judgment brought upon the city that turned it to ashes (see 2 Peter 2:6). After God overthrew Sodom, the whole land was burned so that nothing could grow, and no person would dwell in it again (see Deuteronomy 29:23; Isaiah 13:19–20; Jeremiah 49:18, 50:40).
Even though Lot is considered righteous, his life is a lesson for Christians who are caught up with the things of this world. In the end, what had attracted Lot to Sodom (the beautiful land, Genesis 13:10) was gone. Remember Lot started his life living under the blessing of his relative Abraham (Genesis 12:2–3), but because “he saw” the beauty of the Jordan valley, he moved towards Sodom and later became a resident of that wicked city (Genesis 13:10–12, 14:12). Not only did he “linger” on the day of its destruction, escaping only by the mercy of God (Genesis 19:16), but he lost his wife (Genesis 19:26) and sons-in-law (Genesis 19:14). Not only that, but Lot’s only offspring (Moab and Ammon) were the result of his daughters sexually exploiting him (Genesis 19:33–36),8 while his last years were spent living in a mountain cave like a recluse (Genesis 19:30).
“Written for our Instruction”
Jude uses the catastrophic judgment that came upon Sodom and Gomorrah as an “example” for the punishment of the ungodly, which is characterized as “eternal fire” (pyros aiōniou, cf. Matthew 25:46).
Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. (Jude 7)
The knowledge that there is a future judgment to come should motivate us to warn those who are still in their sins that the only way to escape the coming judgment is by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, the one who has taken the judgment of sinners upon himself so that we can live righteous lives in this present evil age (cf. 1 Peter 2:24; Galatians 1:4).
✞✞✞In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen!✞✞✞
❖[Genesis Chapter 19፡1-29]❖
✞✞✞The Holy Trinity✞✞✞
=>The mysteries are not revealed to a person who doesn’t live in faith and to he/she who doesn’t approach humbly.
✞God is one in three and three in one. Before time and the ages were tallied, God existed as three in His hypostatic names, hypostases and hypostatic attributes while He was one in His essence, being, divinity and authority.
✞It is only the Trinity Himself that knows what was before the creation of the world (universe). And even after He created the world, what we learn as the Mystery of the Trinity (Divinity) is what He only revealed to us so that we can be saved and benefit.
✞And it is the mystery that He revealed to the Saints in whom He was delighted. Beyond this, if we inquire into the Lord with our mortal minds saying “Let’s examine You” our end will be death and our resting place will be Gehenna.
✞God created this world as He existed in His oneness and threeness. If asked “Why did He create the world?” It is so that we praise His name and inherit His glory (kingdom). But only He knows the rest of the reasons.
=>The eternal God, Who doesn’t have duality in His oneness and Who doesn’t have an addition (a fourthness) to His threeness, is the creator of all creation. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit exist eternally as three in their hypostatic names, hypostases and hypostatic attributes while they are one in essence, being and will. “When did They come to be? Or when will They pass?” aren’t said about Them. As They are the beginning and the end.
✞As They are compassionate as a mother, we call Them as “Qedest Selassie” (Qedest is a feminine adjective). They don’t hate the person who hates (doesn’t believe in) Them. But They love many folds he/she who loves Them and dwell in his/her home.
✞From creation there is none that was loved as Abraham except our Lady before the Holy Trinity. Our holy father Abraham as he is the father of all kindness, received the Holy Trinity at the tree of Mamre in Hebron and served Them.
✞Our father Abraham at the age of 99 and our mother Sarah at the age of 89 served the Holy Trinity in their tent. Abraham washed Their feet (What a luck!). And he carried them with his back. (A great father!) He brought Them lunch. They seemed as if They ate for him. And They announced to him on that day that Isaac will be born.
✞The tent that served the Holy Trinity is the symbol of our Lady the Virgin Mary. The Father to preserve her, the Holy Spirit to prepare her and the Son for incarnation and in His incarnate nature have resided in her.
=>The feast of the Holy Trinity is commemorated on this day for 2 reasons. The first is because They destroyed the Tower of Babel/Shinar and the second reason is to commemorate the consecration of a Church in Their name.
✞The Tower of Babel/Shinar✞
=> Shinar is considered to have existed thousands of years ago around the present day Iraq and the name was used for both the city and the king at the same time. After the evil of Nimrod, Shinar and his kinsfolk became acquaintances with Satan.
“Wells without water; Clouds that are carried with a tempest” (2 peter 2:17)
Destructive Doctrines
There were false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. Many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
Doom of False Teachers
For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
Depravity of False Teachers
These, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
Deceptions of False Teachers
For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”
✞✞✞ “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.”✞✞✞
