Asteroids falling from heaven might leave no trace of a city at all, so it
would not be a perfect example for generation to come. God must make a
statement that will separate this event from the rest of the Natural Calamity man
have witness!
So is the story of Sodom and Gomorrah true?
Time and time again, most unbelievers of The Bible like
to point out that what was written therein are just myths and legends concocted
by an over obsessive monotheistic group of people. If not blatantly labeled as
liars they are either called conspirators who invented an Almighty God that supersede
all other human gods. But time and time again also, The Bible had proven its
content factual and true.
The Holy Bible
is still the most trustworthy collections of Historical fact and prophetically
undisputed event declared long before they were experienced. In this blog I had
constantly proves (although not me but the fact itself) the authenticity and
error-free statement of both The New and Old Testament despite the popular
beliefs that most of its claims are too audacious. Sometimes even Christians
themselves tend to sway from the world views when it comes to miracles and
outrageous event.
Like for
instance what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. Most of the people like to accept
a more scientific answer as to what occurred there. The exceptional story of
Sodom and Gomorrah CLAIMS that fire came down from heaven to incinerate entire
cities. Burning an entire city with Brimstone (ancient for Sulfur) and Fire that
fell from the sky seems out of this world and naturally impossible to happen, therefore
most Scientist like to dismiss this idea and reduce the story into some kind of
volcanic eruptions…not heavenly by origin as the Bible states.
So if we
accept their “fact” base on logical instances then it means the Bible is not
factual at all. Like watching National Geographic telling us by “reasons” or
probable causes that the 7 plagues that happened in Egypt during Exodus was a
Natural phenomenon and can be explained. Therefore, Moses was just at the right
place at the right time. Was it all just LUCK? Are Biblical prophet’s
predictions just mere chance?
In these
latest findings of specific event from the past proves the Bible is not a
collection of Myth but Historically correct and truthful rendition of real
events. Let us re-examined Sodom and Gomorrah, curse cities, who the Bible
states was so corrupt it must be reduce into ash. Even Divine forbearance can
not tolerate its wickedness and have even reached the limits of God’s patience.
AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL GENERATIONS
Jude 1:7
King James Version (KJV)
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.
When we want
to stress a point, we shout and sometimes go hysterical to attract or capture
the attention of the concern person. Now when God proclaimed that He will make
Sodom and Gomorrah an example to all the Nations who have committed an
unspeakable sin, would He just make one gigantic superheated volcano erupts?
Obviously,
ancient Kingdoms and Tribes had seen volcanic eruptions before perhaps even
greater than our generation’s Mount St. Helen’s eruptions or Mt. Pinatubo ash
fall…They were so horrific and traumatic of course to eyewitnesses and no doubt
some can even equate them as divine judgment but when God said He will make
this specific action in Sodom as an “Example for all generations” then it must
be so.
Volcanic eruptions can’t turn a city into ash and or Asteroids falling
from heaven can leave no trace of a city, so it would not be a perfect example
for generation to come. God must make a statement that will separate this event
from the rest of the Natural Calamity ever recorded!
Noah’s flood
were outrageous, but geological proof that a worldwide flood did happen
somewhere in the past. So what makes Sodom and Gomorrah a standout among
ancient ruins? What can we discover on its remains that will give as reason to
believe that indeed it is supernatural by origin?
The
Unique Evidences
Out
of this World Sulfur Balls…The familiar sulfur that we can find
in geothermal regions are commonly bright “yellow” in coloration and in rhombic
form.
Now by
contrast the sulfur that we can find in the Dead Sea Valley Site is extremely
rare and well in fact can only be found in this one and only area in the world.
The pale white “monoclinic” form Sulfur of this type can only happen after an
extended period of exposure to an extremely high temperature.
X-ray fluorescence
Semiquant analysis and other test reveals that it is 98.4% pure sulphur.
Meaning, it is more pure that the naturally occurring sulphur.
Genesis 19:24
English Standard Version (ESV)
24 Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
Structures
dried like deposits…Volcanism as what was earlier suggested
can not create an aftermath like that. Some details are still discernable but
were totally turn to some sort of mineral deposits. No natural calamity resembles
the fossilized records of the Dead Sea Valley sites and obviously no other explanation
is better that what was written in Genesis 19:24 and 2 Peter 2:6. For example
what happened in Pompeii when Mt. Vesuvius explode…we can still see paintings
intact and in pristine condition inside the houses. On the other hand, what
happen in Sodom was utterly impossible by a mere act of Nature. For example
there were human skeleton found totally turn into ash, even the marrow and
inside parts.
Genesis 19:28
English Standard Version (ESV)
28 And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.
Deuteronomy 29:23
New King James Version (NKJV)
23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’
Once a fertile valley, this place is now desolate. To be precise 4 cities made as an example for all generations thereafter. Now if you are still one of those who still doubt the Bible maybe it's about time you re-think your position. The recent calamities that we had been witnessing like earthquake, tsunami, super typhoon might be a last warning from God.
He is a merciful father but everything on this life has its limit. How long will you turn a deaf ear? RETURN to your father. He is willing to take you to heaven with HIM.
Amen and All Glory be given back to GOD.
Proverbs 1: 24-29
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

wow, great simple explanations!! I agree with all that...though many do try to hide the evidence etc....so glad those evidence are left for us:))
Thank you so much for this. Jesus is Lord.
