The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah still lives in the consciousness of modern humanity; consciousness but maybe not consciences. There is nothing more offensive to the modern ear than the judgement of God. Even modern theologians are now redefining and softening the evils that led to the destruction of these once great cities. When a death occurs, especially a tragic death, it’s helpful to do an autopsy. What was the cause? How much more important to do an autopsy when an entire city is destroyed. Genesis 19 gives us that autopsy. The focus of the text is just as much on the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah as it is on the compromise with that wickedness made by one of God’s own people.
