Sodom and its sister city of Gomorrah had long lived infamy Today they are the embodiment of a life of corruption mmorality and wickedness They were real cities and were located near here where the Dead Sea is now It is still debated today where exactly it is located There are several theories Some believe as the biblical account records They were destroyed by fire and sulfur and few traces of them remain The city of Sodom comes into play when Abraham and his nephew Lot who are shepherds have a conflict over grazing areas For their different flocks Instead of keeping track of the conflict they agree to separate Lot chooses to go to the plains of Jordan And he sets up his tent near the city of Sodom a decision he will surely later regret due to the disastrous consequences for his family Sodom would have been destroyed earlier if not for Abraham's intervention In Genesis 18 Abraham asks God if He will save the city if He can find 50 righteous people in it God agrees Then Abraham keeps reducing this number down to 10 God promises to save the city if He can only find ten good people in it Genesis 19 begins by saying that Lot gave two angels shelter and welcomed them into his house in Sodom Because of the wickedness of the men in the city when they saw them enter Sodom and go to their house they wanted to assault them sexually Lot acting bravely prevents this act but offers his daughters They do not relent in their determination So the angels strike these men with blindness and rescue Lot The angel tells him that the next morning he must leave the city Because it will be destroyed They are not leaving but his two daughters and his wife leave Sodom Its account records one of the most famous events of the Old Testament Verse 26 says Then the wife of Lot looked back over his shoulder and turned into a pillar of salt Even though she had physically left her heart remained in Sodom Very often we find ourselves in a similar situation We move away from a place where we shouldn't be or from a dangerous situation but we still have the desire to return to it Lot and his daughters left the area and lived in a cave in the mountains They didn't have children they wanted them and they came up with a plan They got their father drunk with wine lay with him and became pregnant The older sister had a son named Moab who became the father of the Moabites The girl had a son named Ben Ammi who became the father of the Ammonites Both the Moabites and the Ammonites lived east of the Jordan and were always enemies of the Israelites The Moabites are mentioned on the so-called Moabite Stone in the Louvre Museum in Paris The main city of the Ammonites Rabbath Ammon is the capital of present-day Jordan The story of Lot is sad His wife dies because of his attachment to the life he enjoyed in Sodom His daughters deceive him and have illegitimate children with him They caused numerous problems for the children of Israel throughout the centuries Their decision to set up their tent near Sodom It was what caused such terrible results And the consequences were disastrous for his family Satanas knows that he doesn't need to urge us to do something terrible from one day to the next but that he can seduce us gradually along a path of destruction When we are not vigilant and careful Let us be prudent and attentive to avoid unnecessarily opening the door to temptation
