So Genesis chapter 19, those of you that have been waiting patiently, we got
there. And it is a famous chapter of the Bible isn't it? And it follows on from
chapter 18 where Abraham was visited with the Lord Jesus Christ and two
angels appearing as men. He served them cooking up, if you remember, some freshly
slaughtered veal, milk, butter and cakes, and no, the Lord is not a vegan or a
vegetarian or any of that, he had some nice field didn't he? And the Lord told them
that he'd be returning for Sarah to conceive, and it was a sort of
miraculous conception being 90 years old at this point, and if you remember Sarah
laughed in amazement along with referring in her heart to her husband as
Lord, and we looked at that didn't we? Just what a great example she was, she
spoke in her heart and called her husband Lord, and then we saw that
Abraham, being close to God, was revealed to her about what was going to happen to
Sodom. Genesis 18 20 read, and the Lord said, because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah
is great, and because their sin is very grievous, and remember Genesis 13 13
had already said, but the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord
exceedingly. So this isn't a normal sin, and we're obviously seeing that in this
chapter, there's nothing normal, nothing run-of-the-mill about it, their sin is
very grievous, okay? They were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
This is a wicked place full of wicked people, the Lord was sending in physical
witnesses as an example, but also a picture of the end times, and Abraham
drew near to God and was there for able to understand him more, and he got a good
understanding of how many righteous or saved, we showed that that's what it's
talking about here, would be needed to spare Sodom, okay? And eventually we saw
that only ten saved people would have been enough for Sodom to have been saved.
A place as wicked as you've just, if you paid attention at Bible reading, that is
a wicked place, with a lot of wicked people, and it would have been spared for
the sake of ten righteous people. He wasn't bartering, okay? He, and I've often
read that as if he was, but looking at it closely, he wasn't, he wasn't correcting
God, he was getting to know him, wasn't he? He was getting to know him. Verse 32
said, and he said, oh let not the Lord be angry and I'll speak yet, but this once,
peradventure ten shall be found there, and he said, I will not destroy it for
ten's sake, and the Lord went his way as soon as he had left communion with
Abraham, and Abraham returned unto his place. And then Genesis 19 and verse 1
begins with, and there came two angels to Sodom, and even a lot sat in the gate of
Sodom, and Lot seeing them, rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself to his
face toward the ground, and he said, behold now my lords, turn in, I pray you,
into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall
rise up early and go on your ways, and they said, nay, but we will abide in the
street all night. I'd like to pray before we continue with this chapter. Father,
thank you for your word, Lord, the word of God which, you know, it doesn't
necessarily jive with what the world tries to teach, or what at least our
Western society tries to teach all and sundry out there, but it's your word that
we have faith in, Lord, it's your word that's true, it's your word that doesn't
change. Lord, we thank you for that, we thank you for this chapter, the Bible, a
chapter with some pretty, you know, hard to read passages here, and some
pretty grim stuff, but it's there for a reason, Lord, we should learn from it, we
should be edified by it, we should grow from it, we should understand and get
more in step with how you want us to think, and less how the world wants us to
think. Help us to do that tonight, Lord, help me to preach this accurately, boldly,
Lord, and full of your spirit, and in Jesus' name, Amen.
Okay, so, just so you're aware, this is part one tonight, and I couldn't leave
Genesis 19 with just a one-parter, but also because there is so much in this
chapter, okay, so much in this chapter, so, and I was thinking, how am I going to do
this, because as I started studying through it, I thought, I can't preach all
this in an hour and a half, you know, you know, I couldn't even do a long
sermon to get it all in, so I decided that part one is going to be the
non-prophetic side of Genesis chapter 19, so tonight we're looking at it without
looking at what it is, because a lot of Genesis 19 is also a prophecy of end
times, but we're not going to look at the prophecy tonight, okay, and I'll remind
you a couple of times that we're not doing that, however, tonight what we're
going to look at is basically just the plain facts here, what's in front of us,
what's going on at the time here, and how that applies to us today without looking
at the end times, and all the prophecy in there as well, next week we'll be
looking at that, so we've got these two angels come to Sodom, okay, Lot's
sitting in the gate, which is the entry into Sodom, and, you know, you could
look at a few reasons why he might be in that entry, but it seems to be a
gathering place in a lot of cities, the entry in, he seems to be at least part
aware of who they are, doesn't he, he rose up, he bowed himself with his face toward
the ground, if you notice, he then invites him to his house, and by the way, when Lot
first parted from Abraham, he only pitched his tent that way, didn't he, so
he pitched his tent towards Sodom, now he's living in Sodom, okay, and in fact
it seemed that he's probably living in Sodom when he was kidnapped however many
years earlier, rescued by Abraham, and he goes back to Sodom and he's living in
Sodom, and here he's, look, he's invited them there, but it is clear for me
here that he's living in Sodom, he's living in the city, why is he living in
this city, we've just seen, just, just, if you've paid attention to that Bible
reading, just absolute wickedness going on in that city, and Lot's living there,
this man of God, this, this nephew of Abraham is living in Sodom, you go, well
why is he living, I'll tell you why, because he's been desensitized over time,
he's, it started off pitching his tent that way, it started off him being at
least willing to go that way for the money, and now he's living amongst the
most filthy, just rank, vile people, and we often now will call them Sodomites,
because it comes from this, this passage and others in the Bible, and the Bible
starts referring to them as Sodomites, these types of people, now, now Lot is continuing to
show respect to the angels here, referring to himself as their servant, if you notice as
well, but they seem happy to stay out in the street, now remember that they've
come as a witness to the sins of Sodom, that's what we saw in the last chapter,
they've been sent as two witnesses to it, Genesis 18 21, Jesus said, I will, I will
go down now, this is him talking, remember we looked at that last week, it's the Lord
Jesus Christ, I will go down there and see whether they have done all together
according to the cry of it, which is come unto me and if not I will know, and I
suppose it's by proxy, because it seems to be his angels that have gone down,
they go down there to see, however Lot doesn't really want them staying in the
street, does he, okay, so they've gone down, they've gone down to be these
witnesses, and for good reason it seems, verse 3 it says, and he pressed upon them
greatly and they turned in unto him and entered into his house and he made them
a feast and did bake unleavened bread and they did eat, why the unleavened
bread? This is the first time that it's been mentioned in the Bible by the way,
unleavened bread, turn quickly to Exodus 12, where the Passover is instituted, they
were commanded to eat unleavened bread alongside here and for the seven days
following, so in Exodus chapter 12 and verse 17, Exodus 12 17, the Lord says, why
unto Moses? It says, and you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread, for in this
selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt, therefore shall
ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for heaven, forever, sorry,
so leaven being a representation of sin in the Bible, leaving it, Egypt being a
picture of salvation, so for me it's a picture of Christ's sinlessness being
imputed unto us and back in Genesis 19 I believe that we're being given probably
a small sign here at least in the Old Testament that Lot was saved. Now yeah,
when we look at it in life, the New Testament, we see that Lot saved, right?
But however, don't bear in mind that this was written 1,500 years
before the New Testament, okay, so here we've got this being written, you know, by
Moses and for that amount of time I think there's a picture, there's
at least an idea there, a clue there, that he was saved, not because he ate
unleavened bread but because of what it represented, and like I said it's the
first time we see unleavened bread, the next time is in Exodus 12 where it's
being instituted with the Passover, and of course last week we did look at
2 Peter 2 where it's described as just, justified, and then in 2 Peter 2
8 described as righteous, it said for that righteous man dwelling among them
in seeing and hearing Vex's righteous soul from day to day with unlawful deeds.
Lot was clearly saved, okay, the New Testament makes that clear as they hear,
I think it's a clue for those before the New Testament perhaps, but, and
there is I believe another picture as well that we'll see next week when we
look at that, but for the 1,500 years before I think that's what we see, little
clues in there to help God's children understand what's going on, these angels
were described as men in the chapter before, they're in Lot's house eating a
feast, so they look like men, they appear like men, they're described as men but
we also see them described as angels, okay, messengers of God, and obviously
they have some supernatural power we're going to see in a minute as well, but
before they lay down, verse 4, it says, but before they lay down the men of the
city, even the men of Sodom, compass the house round both old and young, all the
people from every quarter, and they called unto Lot and said unto him, Where
are the men which came into thee this night? Bring them out unto us that we may
know them. So what's going on here, okay, it's nighttime and the men of Sodom have
surrounded the house and they're calling out Lot to bring these men or angels out,
okay, why, why? Well when we see the term to know them in the Bible it's not that
they want to befriend them, okay, it's not that they're upset they haven't had a
chance to show them some famous Sodom hospitality, well kind of really
ironically, yes, it's to know them is a euphemism for a physical relationship,
you don't have to turn there, I think most people have read the Bible will
understand, it's Genesis 4, 1, it said, and Adam knew his wife, so he knew Eve his
wife and she conceived and bear Cain and said, I've got gotten a man from the
Lord. So these men have heard of these new men in town and they want to
basically abuse them, okay, that's what we're seeing here. Now was it just a few
bad eggs, was it just, oh well there are a few bad guys in Sodom and, well look at
verse 4, it says, but before they lay down the men of the city, even the men of
Sodom, compass the house round, both old and young, all the people from every
quarter, and they called unto lot and said unto him, where the men which came
into thee this night, bring them out unto us that we may know them. It might seem
amazing, okay, but to me it appears that it's all the men of all ages, doesn't it?
Now it did say men, so I know some people go, look it must have been some real
young, well men have 20 upwards in the Bible, so now I don't know, it doesn't say
only these and, you know, you could look at this as just being sort of general
language, but for me, reading that, it looks like all the men of Sodom, which is
basically everyone from 20 until however old they got there, all came to
compass the house roundabout into just some wicked, vile gang mentality to
basically surround the house, where where a few came the rest came, and you go, well
why would they all come? What on earth is going on there? Well, strength in numbers,
because these are savage, vile, reprobate psychopaths, and the more of them there
are, the more likely they're going to get in a wicked way, because they're bullies,
because they're more likely to force people if there's a lot of them,
because they're just all got a pack-herd, predatory mentality. Think of a few
reasons, right? So what's the point as well with that? How is all these men
Sodomites, how is basically all the men of Sodom happy to surround a house and
force what they consider to be new men into town, I don't think they're aware
they're angels, to come out to be abused? Well, the point is that these vile
Sodomites are recruiters. They spread like a cancer to the point where whole
cities are overrun by them. But we see that out there, don't we? Anyone been to
that wicked town Brighton in the last couple of years? Last time I was there
was at a church there, and that is a wicked place. And you know what? That
hasn't just stayed as it was 20 years ago, 30 years ago, that's just
got progressively worse and worse. San Francisco or San Francisco is just full
of Sodomites, isn't it? And wherever you see a few, they just start to grow and
grow and grow and grow. They spread like cancer, because they recruit. You go, well
how do they recruit? I'll tell you how they recruit. They abuse children. That's
how they recruit. They abuse children and then those children end up turning and
hating on God, and they end up, sadly, a lot of the time, what sort of angle do
they go down a reprobation often sodomy because of stuff that's happened to them?
That's reality, folks, yeah? Yeah, that's not what the world teaches you.
The world is trying to tell you that, oh, they're born that way. No such thing.
False science, no such thing. Impossible. I think I was listening to this
possibly on that new documentary that's come out recently, I think LGBT
Terrorists, where they had like twins, where you'd have these twins with almost
identical genetics, identical twins, and the chance of them both being Sodomites
was like minimum. So you have one Sodomite, one not. And in so many of the
cases where there's a Sodomite identical twin, it's only one, because there is no
gene. It's not a gene. He's a Sodomite because something happened to him and
the recruiting and him ultimately rejecting and giving up on God, turning
away and turning that way, right? But the world will tell us otherwise, or the
world will tell us it's just a lifestyle choice. It's not a lifestyle choice, okay?
It's a wicked symptom, a vile symptom of reprobation, isn't it?
However, they try and encourage that in people by abusing children, which is why
they want access to children, which is why they want access to your kids, which
is why we're just seeing it everywhere right now. They're just
pushing and getting bolder and bolder and bolder to try and get access to your
children. And why it's so important, isn't it, to just to protect the children? So
important. Verse 6 says, a lot went out at the door unto them and shut the door
after him and said, I pray you brethren, do not so wickedly. Lot the back slid and
Christian, just Lot, righteous Lot. Yeah, we've just seen, he's a saved guy, right?
He's calling these dogs, these filthy animals, brethren. What on earth? How has
Lot got to the point of calling these sodomites, these queers, whatever you
want to call them, brethren? Brethren! Now, I was looking at this, I think maybe
they were down at the local non-denom religion. Do you reckon they were? I reckon they
probably were. I reckon there was some sort of religion in Sodom that they were
claiming to be some sort of, you know, God followers in one way or another. Maybe
the Repent of Your Sins, queer, Baptist Union style church mincing around with
all of the other effeminate Christians. Don't you reckon? Because there's a lot
of them, aren't there? You go into one of those churches, don't you? You go into one of
those evangelical churches, one of those Baptist Union churches, one of those
Fellowship of Evangelical churches, whatever. In fact, you go into any false religion, pretty
much, but these sort of places full of effeminate Christian types, mincing
around, acting as if that's normal. So you go to those places and you kind of
really stand out. If you're not kind of talking with a bit of a limp wrist, with
a bit of a soft voice and everything else, they're all a bit queer, aren't they?
I reckon there was one of those going on in Sodom, at least. And he's probably,
and he, because he's such a backslid of Christian, he's going, oh well yeah, they're
probably brothers. Probably brothers in Christ, aren't they? Because what? You think
that someone that you've gone and got saved recently, who never comes
to a proper church, never reads their Bible, never hears biblical preaching,
don't you think they'd think the same? In fact, everyone here, when you were first
saved, most people, when they were first saved, would have looked at these people
and thought they were brothers in Christ. I remember seeing a fish on a card
thinking, oh great, must be another Christian. Oh, he's got a cross, must be a
Christian. And it's only with time, if you're actually starting to grow and
live for God and read your Bible and serve God, you start to understand and
learn and grow, but Lot clearly hasn't, has he? He's calling a brethren. And like I
said, these places, these places with these types of people are so full of
them, that then they do expect you to just be the same, don't they? People just
expect you to just be like these other queers, like these other, because
they're not Christians, they're fake Christians. But it's a massive fake, isn't it, out
there? And then they're a bit shocked when you're just like a regular person,
regular guy with regular, just guy kind of interests and stuff. People act like
you're some sort of heathen. Are you some sort of Christian? I had the same
question again the other day. I mean, what does God think about
fighting then? You know, because I was hitting some pads at a Thai boxing place.
Mate, you want to read the Bible. God's got people hacking people up. Take out a
thousand people with a jaw of a doggie. What are you talking about? What does God
think about me putting some pads on my hands and punching someone who asked me
to punch them in the face? What's wrong with you? But that's what, because they
think that. Where does that come from? Where does that come from? It comes from
just all these sodomites basically infiltrating false Christianity and
making it a culture where then people just expect Christians to be a load of
queers. And I think that's what's going on here. He said, now look, I mean, Lot is
just beyond wicked, isn't he? I mean, for a Christian you just can't make
this stuff up. He said, Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man.
Let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do you to them as is good in
your eyes, only unto these men do nothing. For therefore came they under the
shadow of my roof. You look at this, you just say, What on earth, Lot? How do you stoop to this
low of thinking? How does a man of God, and when I say a man of God, just a saved
person, stoop to this? He's offering out his daughters instead. Now, some could
look at this and say, This is a bit far-fetched, couldn't they? They could go, Really? How does someone do that?
So I was looking at this, I was thinking, But is it much different now to how fathers send
their daughters out to walk the streets? Is it much different? Is it much
different to Christian and non-Christian fathers who send their daughters out
dressed like absolute whores? Just literal whores. Just send them out in the
street, on their own, teens upwards, drop them off at the park, drop them off at
their friends house knowing full well that that liberal parent's gonna go out
and do what you want. Is it much different? Because what are they really doing?
They're just offering them up to all the reprobates out there. I mean, they're
sending them out young like that. They're offering them out to paedophiles.
They're offering them out, and that's what we're seeing here. I mean, these
people, they're sodomites, they're paedophiles. And it's no different.
Look, people do that, don't they? And you know what? You think that there aren't
Christian parents who do the same. I bet there are. Or send their daughters out to
all sorts of places, the dads dropping their daughters off at the teenage
parties. What, you think they don't know what's going on? Of course they know what's
going on. It's just easier for them to turn a blind eye. To convince themselves
that, oh no, I'm sure nothing's going on. Sending them off to the pubs and clubs.
Yeah? Who's lurking there? Who's lurking at the pubs and clubs? Where all those,
who do you think is lurking around when all those young girls, all those
underage or borderline age in this country for drinking, and basically still
kids, are out in all these bars, clubs, pubs, getting drunk, getting high and
everything else. Who's lurking? I'll tell you who's lurking. Sodomites. Reprobates.
Paedophiles. They're all out there. And these people just let their kids go out
like that. Is there much difference? How about saving money up to send them to
university? How about that? Oh no, no, that's all right, because they're getting an
education. Oh, they're getting an education. And then they're getting abused by
reprobates. And then they're getting pounced on by whoever can. Then they're
getting encouraged to get high and drunk on a regular basis. Oh no, that's all right
though. That's all right, isn't it? Why? What are you doing? You're just sending them off?
Sending them out to the sodomites, basically. And by the way, it's often the
same with the young boys as well, with the lads. Sent out at 18 years old to
live on some university campus, where who knows what happens to half these kids?
It was a horrendous story. I still always think about it. In Bath, it was just a
horrific sodomite. Anyone heard of this story before I go on about it? There was
this horrific sodomite who, it was something like about 300 male victims
of basically university kids, because they're kids really, getting drunk and he would go
up, get them in the street on their way home and offer to charge their
phone and stuff, get them home and basically drug them and it was horrific.
Videoed it, like the police who went through it needed counselling for years,
had to go through it. Just horrific stuff these people are capable of. And people are
just sending their kids out, sending their kids out to the world. Is it much
different to what lots do? Maybe a little, but not a lot. Nowadays the grooming
starts the local library, the schools, shoving them in front of the TV. You're
least prepping them for it, aren't you? Oh yeah, just sit and watch that, much easier.
Much easier, I'd just leave the kid in front of the TV all day. Oh, it's easier
for me if they just sit in front of the TV. What are they even watching? What are they
watching? What are they being prepared for? The difference with Lott, I haven't
messed up, was that he at least thought that he was protecting some men of God,
some angels. I mean you could go, well on the flip side with Lott, and look I'm not
trying to justify what he did, but at least he's going, well I'm trying to stop
this sodomy going on, so I'm sending other, like most dads out there, just
send him out anyway. Send him out to get richer, send him out to keep up with the
Joneses, send him out just because it's easier. Send him out so they don't have to
have a row with their teenage daughter, telling them why I'm not sending you out
to get drunk, get high, and possibly get abused. And by the way, there's a hell of
a lot of abuse out there. Verse 8 said, Behold now, he said, I have two daughters
which have not known man. Let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to
them as is good in your eyes, only unto these men do nothing, for therefore came
they under the shadow of my roof. He cares more about his guests and his
daughters. Why? Why does he care more about his guests and his daughters?
Because he spent years around predators, that's why. Because he spent years in
Sodom around predators who, like today, have likely been pushing all sorts of
detached parenting. I reckon in Sodom they were going around going on about
helicopter parents. I reckon that it's the same stuff, that's what the
predators like to go on about. I reckon that there was probably all sorts of
schools, clubs, random babysitter services, different ways of having as little as
possible to do with your kids. You know, the stuff that we see right now in our
Sodomite run Western society. Just basically get rid of your kids, get rid
of them any which way you can. What could, what could go wrong? I reckon he'd
probably become a bit detached. Probably they were demonizing normal child
correction, you know. How terrible it must be, you know, to chastise a child.
Probably encouraging the spoiling of children instead. I mean, just the word
spoiling itself kind of says what that is, doesn't it? Yeah, you spoil all your
children, you ruin them. You know, probably all of that sort of stuff. And I'll be
honest, his daughters were probably a right disgrace too, probably, but due to
Lot and due to his wife as well. You know, he said they've not known
man, that was a lie. Okay, verse 14, it seems to be the same daughters, verse 14
shows that, well, they were actually married but he was just lying. And look,
I'm not excusing him. Look, I'm just trying to understand the mess, okay. This is a
mess and it can be hard to read this chapter and just try and just even
just have some understanding. What on earth is even going on here? But I think
that he's living in Sodom and Sodom, as we're going to see next week, is a
picture of society before basically Jesus Christ returns. And
look, it doesn't feel like we're a long way off this, are we? Because this sort of
stuff for me isn't a great deal different to so many parents out
there today, with Lot, to just what we're seeing out there with just this
filth, this just sodomites everywhere, surrounding people. So now you go, well, I
haven't seen them surround people's houses. I tell you, I don't think we're a long way
off there. I really don't think we are. And look, just in case you're sitting there
and you're thinking, what are you talking about, brother? This is an animal. You might be sitting
there going, I don't know about this, this is sounding a bit off and everything
else because, look, we're in the West, right, we know best, don't we? We know best.
Come on. I mean, how could we have it? We had the British Empire. I mean, the sun
never set on it. How could we be wrong? Well, interestingly, we've probably got
quite a few different cultures here in this church who have
already lived or previously lived in a different nation. It just, interestingly,
how many people here have lived in a nation where they have noticeably or
much stricter laws or at least much stricter views by the majority of
society on sodomites? One, two, three, four, five, six, yeah, that's quite a lot, quite a
few people, right, have lived in a nation where they don't think how we think here,
at least how we're told to think here, where there are nations, for example,
you're from Uganda, where it's a crime. In fact, trying to abuse
children is a capital crime punishable by death, right? Of course, we have
someone here from Russia and they don't think the same way as we do here, right?
And we have people from various nations where they don't think how we're told to
think here. So what, are they all wrong? Are we right? And when we say we, who? Who are we
really talking about? Our mainstream influences. Do you know who we're talking
about? Sodomites. Sodomites in our government, sodomites in our mainstream
media trying to teach us how we should think and act towards are the sodomites.
It's crazy. And they said, stand back, verse nine, and they said again this one
fellow came into sojourn and he will needs be a judge now will we deal worse
with thee than with them and they press sore upon the man even lot and came near
to break the door. Basically they said, how dare you judge us? I'm even more
persuaded by that that part of that verse that there's some sort of liberal
fake Christian types. Oh really? That's what I think. I think there's like the
equivalent back then of what we would see today, right? Judge not, judge not.
That sort of thing, isn't it? What sort of Christian are you lot? You're judging us.
Judging our sin. All sin is equal. It's that sort of stuff, isn't it? Now you're
gonna judge us? Love is love. They're probably saying that sort of stuff,
weren't they? You evil Christian. Oh, you're one of those fundamentalist lot.
And he sure as hell ain't no fundamentalist. Lot is an absolute
disgrace. And they're going, how dare you judge us? Because the thing is you can't
appease, if you don't fully support these types of people, you can't
appease them. You can't appease them. And look, before we continue, let's just remind
ourselves what our first experience of sodomites in the Bible entails. Attempted
gang rape. Just before you kind of, if anyone is just out there going,
yeah, but, this is just, we're just this type of church, but, you know, we're
just kind of taking these passages. This is a first experience of open
sodomy. What happened with Noah is debatable for many, okay? This is just
open sodomy. And what's the first experience? Attempted gang rape. Not a good
sign, is it? Not exactly how the world pictures it. But the Bible says in Psalm
119 and verse 1, 16, I have to turn there, it says, thy word is true from the
beginning and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth forever. Do you know what one of
those judgments was? Fire and brim sign on the sodom, raised to the ground. God's
word doesn't change to fit in with the latest liberal PC brainwash. It doesn't
need updating to appease a load of filthy sodomites that have got to high,
high levels in society, okay? God's word doesn't change because of that. And if
you want God's word to change because of that, then you're in the wrong type of
church, because we stand on the Word of God here, yeah? What the Word of God says
is what we care about. The Bible tells it like it is. Turn to Romans 1. See how the
Bible describes sodomites, how the Word of God explains these grotesque people,
because the Word of God just tells it how it is. And look, the more you grow, the
more you learn, the more you grow as a Christian, the more you'll
just understand the Bible is absolutely spot-on. The more you experience these
people in life, the more you see these people, the more you realise, wow, the
Bible just gets everything right, doesn't it? And the Bible says this in Romans 1
and verse 26, for this cause God gave them up unto vile affections, for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And
likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their
lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and
receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. Okay, these
are sodomites. And even as they did not like to attain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, okay? That's what they have, a reprobate,
a reprobate, a rejected mind, to do those things which are not convenient, being
filled with all, and this is the average sodomite, being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy,
murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable,
unmerciful, who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit such
things are, not were, are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure
in them that do them. The Bible makes it clear, doesn't it? That's the
description of your average sodomite. That's not how the world depicts it,
that's not really the Will and Grace kind of best friend next door type, is it?
Girl's best friend, babysitter material, funny, quirky, innuendo filled laugh that
we just want to hang out with to show how liberal we are and how a-okay we are
with it all. That's not the sort of person you want to be hanging around with, is it?
Reading Genesis 19, you can't come away and wonder why these people deserve
capital punishment or why they, you wouldn't come away and wonder if they
should or shouldn't. They're gang rapists. Romans 1 says basically just gives a
description of a full-on psychopath. And you say, well, I know some sodomites and
they're not surrounding houses. Yeah, maybe some people might think that. Wait
until they're the majority. Wait until they're the majority. Wait until they
have more and more power and able to do more and more. Wait until they're able to
get away with more. Wait until the whole government, the police force and
everything else, is just overrun by them and I reckon you're going to see
more sodomites surrounding houses. With every bit of increased power, they do get
bolder, don't they? Yeah, it started off, we looked at this a while back, you know,
the first sort of so-called, and they didn't call it a pride march I don't
think at the time, was like a couple of hundred of them. And they were just
talking about having some sort of, you know, extra sodomite rights and, you know,
not being, it shouldn't be illegal at that point is what they were trying to
march for. And now, I mean, you're talking thousands and thousands of these
sodomites dressing in next to nothing, doing all sorts of wicked stuff in front
of people's faces, trying to get access to children. Where's it going to end? I'll
tell you where it's going to end, surrounding people's houses. Surrounding
people's houses, telling people to bring people out to them. The psychopath can
hide their true motives. They can hide behind a mask for years, okay, especially
when other psychos are perfecting and promoting masks, and that's what we see.
The media is just perfecting and promoting that mask, isn't it, and trying
to encourage us to just look at them like they're normal people. And look,
that's clear as day, isn't it, out there? I mean, how much are they being pushed
and promoted in every show? Soap operas, movies, just, it's constant, constant,
constant, constant. All the talk show hosts, just sodomites, sodomites, sodomites,
sodomites, like they're funny, like they're normal, like they're okay. But that's not
what the Bible says, and the reality of it is it's not what just experience
would say. Just go out here and see the next sodomite that walks down
the road, and you look at them going, oh yeah, they look like a great player, they're just absolute
freaks, complete weirdos. And they don't look very happy either. Anyone see them and think
they look happy? They look miserable. Too right. First 9 said, back in Genesis 19,
they said, stand back, and they said again, this one fellow came in sojourned, and he
will need to be a judge, now will we deal worse with thee than with them. And they
press sore upon the man evil lot, and came near to break the door. Here's another lesson to learn, you can
live amongst them, you could call them your brethren, you can offer your
children, but if you don't fully support them, they'll turn on you like anyone
else. They're implacable, they're unmerciful. Okay, you're not gonna please
them. You're not gonna, oh well yeah, I'll call them brethren, and I'll bring, it doesn't matter,
unless you're fully behind them, unless you fully support them, they hate you as
much as anyone else. But the men put forth their hand and pulled lot into the
house to them, and shut to the door, and they smote the men that were at the door
of the house with blindness both small and great, so that they wearied
themselves to find the door. Now that was a close call for lot, wasn't it? The angels
pull him inside and make this baying mob of sodomites blind, okay, yet they're
still trying to get to the door, they're wearing themselves, I mean you can't make
this up, can you? They're blind and they're wearying themselves, tiring
themselves out, still trying to get to the door. Implacable, unmerciful, they're
just heart set on that, right? And the men said unto lot, has thou any here
besides, has I here, sorry, any besides son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughter,
whatsoever there has in the city, bring them out of this place, for we will
destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxing great before the face of
the Lord, and the Lord have sent us to destroy it. Now at first glance it can
seem as though it's a cry of the victims, okay, in the previous chapter, chapter 18
and verse 20 it said, and the Lord said because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is
great, and because their sin is very grievous, okay, so it talked about this
cry, but it said the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah and because their sin, seems to
be the same people being referred to, and cry really in the Bible refers to
shouting, yelling, doesn't it, as opposed to weeping, because I think some people
maybe would read that and think it's talking about people praying against
them, or calling out the victims, but I believe that the cry of Sodom is
sort of unified noise made by the Sodomites. I think the cry of Sodom is
some sort of, basically the noise made, it's like, and maybe whether that's
spiritual or not, it's a unification of Sodomites, and again we're going to
see pictures next week as to what this, you know, what this picturing in the end
times to come, but maybe it's a physical chanting, like the animalistic chanting
at pride parades, yeah, you heard that stuff, and they pride, what's the one they
chant, they chant basically, we're something, we're queer, we're coming for
your children or something, don't they, that's it, we're here, we're queer, we're
coming for your children, I mean, and they chant that stuff, maybe it's that sort of
cry he's hearing, some sort of chanting, some sort of just wicked satanic chanting,
some sort of spiritual shout of defiance, I think that's what it's talking about.
Like I said last week, it's not that God needed those witnesses there to tell
him what was going on, God sees everything, the eyes of the Lord are
everywhere, beholding the evil and the good, but they were physical witnesses to what
was going to be a physical punishment, he had already sent them to destroy it,
hadn't he, and it said in verse 14, and Lot went out and spake unto his sons-in-law
which married his daughters, and said, up, get you out of this place, for the Lord
will destroy the city, but he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons-in-law.
Why did Lot seem as one that mocked? I'll tell you why, because Lot was a clown
Christian, Lot was a clown, he was a joke, he was a joke of a Christian. Turn to
Philippians chapter 2, you can imagine them saying, well what do you know about
the Lord, Lot, what do you know about the Lord, what do you know about who's gonna
come and destroy, you're a joke. Oh, old Lot, who's just been offering offering
their wives out to these sodomites, Lot is calling sodomites brethren, and they're like,
what do you know? Oh, good old Godly Lot, Godly Lot's telling us what's gonna, Lot
the prophet, that's what they'd be saying, oh yeah, Lot the prophet, while he's
hanging out with sodomites. And by the way, if you want your family and friends
to take you seriously, don't be a Lot, don't be a Lot, you want to get your
family and friends saved, don't be a Lot, it's not just swerving the sods, okay,
and not offering your daughters to them. You go, well I'll never do that, okay,
that's not the only way that you could be a Lot. Philippians 2 shows us other
ways that we can be not, at least not be a negative example. Philippians 2 and
verse 14 says, Philippians 2, 14, do all things without murmurings and disputings
that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God without rebuke, in the
midst of a crooked and perverse nation among whom ye shine as lights in the
world, holding forth the word of life that I may rejoice in the day of Christ
that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. So, yeah, you don't want to be
offering your daughters out to sodomites, but you're hardly a shining light if
you're just constantly complaining to your unsaved family and friends, are you?
So, oh yeah, no, I don't do any of that, I go to church, I'm a soul
winner, yeah, I preach the gospel to people, but I'm just constantly
complaining about everything in my life to my unsaved family and friends. Well,
you're doing things with murmurings, right? You're really a shining light, are they
looking, going, oh, you know, in that day of visitation, are they at that time when
they're really most receptive, are they gonna look back and think, oh
yeah, you know, you could really see that difference with that family member, it's
gonna be like it's another murmur and another complaint. How about if you're
just constantly getting aroused with all your family, aroused with your unsaved,
with your unsaved family, unsaved friends, just constantly disputing,
getting an argument, and look, sometimes you get, I'm not saying, look, right, avoid any,
sometimes you're gonna have a row now and again, right, but some people just
love that stuff, don't they? Some people kind of use Christ too, Row, use the truths
of the Bible, not really because they were trying to get them saved, just
because it's a good way of having a debate, right? It's good to just, look, if
you know the Word of God, you can work people in a debate, can't you, because you
got the truth, and you can make people look foolish and you can show them
their foolishness and everything else, but if you're just constantly murmuring,
disputing, rowing, maybe, look, maybe you're not being that shining light,
you're not gonna shine as lights in the world, and it'll be the same, so-called
Christian, but they're just constantly complaining, so-called Christian, but
they're always just picky on me, getting in fights with me, and it may take many
years, but people's salvation is always possible, and here, look, a lot failed here,
didn't he? The son's in law, it came to that point, it came to that time, the
angels were there, it was time to go, and he failed, didn't he? And look, look, you're
not gonna get everyone saved, but you know what, you try to give the gospel to
someone, you've given it to a family member, they haven't got saved, still try
and be a shining light, yeah? Obviously, you know, doesn't mean you have to, like,
some people go too far, better just carry on hanging out with them in the pub and
everything, no, you don't, don't do that, but be a shining light, right? Do things
without murmurings and disputings, be blameless and harmless, without rebuke in
the midst, we're in the middle of a crooked and perverse nation, we are in
the middle of a crooked and perverse nation, aren't we? And the more you grow,
the more you look at those old family and friends and just think, it's really
hard to get on with them sometimes, isn't it? It's really hard to have that much to
do, but you can still hold your head high and still shine as a light amongst them,
and it may take years, but their salvation is still possible, you don't
have to turn there, but 1 Peter 2.12 talks about having your conversation honest
among the Gentiles, that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may
by your good works which they shall behold glorify God in the day of
visitation. Lot didn't have that, did he? But that's something that we should aim
to have. Lot was a joke, okay? Back in verse 14 of Genesis 19, it says, a lot went
out and spake unto his sons-in-law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get
you out of this place, for the Lord will destroy this city, but he seemed as one
that mocked unto his sons-in-law. And by the way, one of the reasons was, as well
for me, that he wasn't soul-winning, was he? A lot didn't get, you know, Lot
had been there many, many years, hardly anyone was saved. We see, in fact, the
only people that get removed are him and his two daughters and his wife,
theoretically, but again, if he's not out there preaching the gospel, are people
really gonna listen to him? Do people really, and that's the thing, are
they really gonna take you seriously? You know, I know the truth, but
why aren't you telling anyone? Get out and tell people, right? If you're getting out and
telling people, and you don't have to show off about it, people will start to
know, hey, yeah, he's out soul-winning, okay, he's out doing, what's he, again, locked doors with Jehovah's Witnesses or whatever else, but you know why we
knock doors? Why we got, because we've got the truth, because we're getting people
saved, and if you're doing that, people might take you more seriously in the
future, right? Think, yeah, look, they obviously, they got something they
really believe. They really, it's not just Sunday Club, no, it's Sunday and Wednesday
Club. It's not just Sunday and Wednesday Club, it's Midweek Soul-Winning Club, as
well, and it's Sunday Soul-Winning Club, and it's Saturday Marathon Club, and because
we have the truth, because we want to show people the truth, right, because we're
serious about it. Verse 15 says, when the morning arose, and the angels hastened a
lot, saying, arise, take thy wife and thy toodles which are here, lest thou be consumed
in the iniquity of the city. They basically said, get out of this filthy
place, and look, we're gonna move on from the Sodomites in a minute, okay, but just
last point on it. That was the first chapter in the Bible where it's as clear as they
talk about Sodomites, and that is probably one of the worst stories in the
Bible, isn't it? Absolutely horrific. Horrific story. We've not just seen the
depths that when you have majority Sodomites in a town or city that they'll
that they'll go to, and we'll see that basically nothing's out of bounds to these
people, they're that rat, and obviously Judges 19 is another story with
exactly the same sort of stuff, okay, and it shows also that it's not just men
that they'll go for, they'll do wicked things to anyone, okay, but what we also
see from Genesis 19 is the effect that they can have even on Christians, that
the effect that they had on Lot to the point where Lot is probably, I mean,
can you think of many worse Christians in the Bible? Lot's as low as it gets. Why?
Because he lived in Sodom. Because he lived among Sodomites because he was
basically, he tolerated Sodomites. He was around them, he hung around with them, he
lived with them, he buddied up with them, and look, maybe that's you, maybe you're
sitting here watching, you're going, yeah, I do have a Sodomite cousin, brother,
sister, uncle, aunt, whatever it is. Maybe you do, right, and if you do, if you have
that, well, you need to get away from it. You need to put away for you among
yourselves that wicked person. You need to basically, you need to make a choice
because they'll ruin your life. These are wicked people, really wicked people. Now
verse 16 says, while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand and upon the
hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, the Lord being most
flunted him, and they brought him forth and set him without the city. Now
remember in the last chapter we saw Abraham hastening, didn't we? We saw in
the chapter before that, he got on with the circumcisions of self same day. Okay,
we saw him, we saw someone who was just like, God tells you to do something doing it.
He was, what a contrast he was. What a contrast. Really in these opening, many
of these opening chapters of the Bible, of the book of Genesis, we're just seeing
this massive contrast between Abraham and Lot. Right at the beginning, you
know, right early on when there started to be strife between Lot and Abraham,
Abraham says you choose where you want, Lot goes for the money. Soon after that,
not long after, Lot's being kidnapped from Sodom, he's being kidnapped, Abraham's
looking to go and help him and rescue him. Lot gets rescued, what happens after
that? Abraham, he's tithing to Melchizedek, he's doing the things of God, Lot goes
back to Sodom. You're just seeing this massive contrast between the two. Lot
ends up back in Sodom, Abraham is doing more, he's like, God tells you to do
stuff, he's doing it. Yeah, he made some errors along the way, Lot's living in
Sodom doing nothing. Abraham, we see, was having an effect on those around him, to
the point where even, you know, we see the iniquity of the Amorites not yet full,
because for me, Abraham's getting people saved there, and then on the flip side
you've got Lot in Sodom and no one's getting saved. And there's such a
contrast between these two, and they're both saved, and that absolute
wicked teaching out there that good works will follow salvation is a lie
from the pit of hell, okay? No, they won't follow, look at Lot, where is good works?
Where are Lot's good works? But he was described as just, he was described as
righteous, but the guy's hanging around with filthy Sodomites, offering his daughters to him.
It's such a lie, isn't it? And then you've got people questioning salvation,
questioning salvation, because they're not showing the works that you think
they should be showing. Well, tell me what works you saw in Lot. I saw a guy
hanging around with Sodomites in Sodom. I mean, let alone what we can learn about,
I mean, you can learn a lot about Sodomites in this, can't you? Just keep away
from, get away from, these people are wicked, wicked, vile people, but I tell you what,
you can learn a lot about what effect they have on a Christian as well. So we
got a contrast here. Lot here now is lingering, so he's lingering in Sodom.
The men laid hold upon his hand, upon the hand of his wife, upon the hand of his
two daughters, the Lord being merciful unto him, and they brought him forth and set him
without the city, okay, God was merciful regardless, and it came to pass when
they brought them forth abroad that he said, escape for thy life. Now it
seems like it's the Lord talking to him. Look not behind thee, as opposed to, we
saw, it was the angels talking before. Escape for thy life, look not behind thee,
neither stay thou in all the plain, escape to the mountain lest thou be consumed.
Now I believe that it's God talking, like I said, it's the Lord talking here, and
what does our negative example Lot do when God's talking to him? Look at verse 18.
Lot said unto them, O not so, my Lord, behold now, thy servant hath found grace
in thy sight, and now has magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me, and
saved my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain lest some evil take me, and I
die. Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one, O let me
escape thither, is it not a little one, and my soul shall live. So you've just
been pulled out of Sodom by two angels. Probably not a good idea to start
pushing your wicked will. I mean, what is wrong with this guy, right? I mean, you've
got Abraham just going, yeah, old circumcision's, what, 400 plus? Yeah, let's
do it ourselves, same day. God told me to do it, I'm doing it. I mean, I don't even want to
think about that. But Lot, he gets pulled out of Sodom, he's told, go into the mountain,
he's like, oh no, no, let me go where I want to go. In fact, I want to go to a little city
which was also infected by this as well. But the thing is, is that so many
Christians all over, isn't it? God's merciful, God helps them in this way, God
helps in that, and then they're back to trying to push their wicked will. They're
back to saying, but I want this, I don't want to do that. Oh God, thank you for
helping me in this situation in my life, but I don't want to do what you tell me
to do. I don't want to go somewhere, I don't want to go to church, I want to do
what I want to do. I want to go here, I want to get there, I want to go and make
more money, I want to do this. Again, we look and we mock, but so much of what's
in Lot you can see in so many people in the world today. And he's choosing to
dwell, like I said, in one of the infected cities in close proximity to Sodom. We
looked at this in Genesis 14. If you remember, Genesis 14 8 said, and there
went out the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Adama and the
king of Zeboim and the king of Beelah, the same is Zoar, this is the place that
he's asked to go to, and they joined battle with them in the Vale of Sidim. So
these cities were joined in affinity and proximity with the Sodomites, and
Deuteronomy 29, if you want to look you can, we did look at this previously,
Deuteronomy 29 shows us the consequences. It says in Deuteronomy 29 and verse 23,
Deuteronomy 29 23, and that the whole land there is brimstone and salt, and
Bernie talk about this area, that it is not sown nor bareth nor any grass growth
therein, this is the result of God raining down fire and brimstone, like the
overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Adama and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in
his anger and in his wrath. One was missing. What was missing? Beelah, also
called Zoar, which is where Lot requests fleeing to in Genesis 19. So it was one
of the Confederate cities with the king of Sodom, however it didn't get destroyed
after Lot requested to flee there, but it should have done, and it was also one
of the infected, one of the Confederate, one of, it would have had Sodomites,
you know, the Sodomites weren't just consigned just to Sodom, those around,
those close to these sorts, look, and that's just, we talked about this before,
that's just the way it is, isn't it? Look, you think you think that the
neighbouring towns to Brighton, for example, which probably the most famous
place in the UK for it, well you think that they haven't got a load of
Sodomites in all those towns? You think it hasn't pushed and spread there? Of course it has.
Same everywhere. People, when they're around them, when they're around them a
lot, it just starts to spread and spread and spread, like a cancer. Well, back in
Genesis 19 it said, Behold now, this city is neared to flee unto in this little one,
and let me escape thither. Is it not a little one in my social living? For me,
Zoar, look, Zoar survived, okay, and I suggested when we looked at this
previously that maybe the size was to do with, and again, I'm not saying
definitely, just something I thought, where Sodom would have been spared for
ten righteous, Zoar was clearly spared for a few righteous, wasn't it? And it was
just a little one, it was but a little one. He does say it twice, doesn't he?
There's a reason he's talking about it only being little, and he goes there and
it's spared, whereas had it been Gomorrah or somewhere else that was obviously
bigger, and him and his family had come, I think God probably still would have
destroyed it, right? As we've seen previously that he would have spared
Sodom for ten, maybe spared Zoar for three. And he said unto him, see, verse 21,
I've accepted the concern of this thing also, and that I will not overthrow the
city for the which thou has spoken. Hey, see, escape thither, for I cannot do
anything till thou become thither. Therefore the name of the city was
called Zoar. Zoar means little or small. The sun was risen upon the earth when
lot entered into Zoar, then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah,
brimstone of fire from the Lord out of heaven, and he overthrew those cities and
all the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities and that which grew upon the
ground. He absolutely wiped out those cities, plural, okay? All of these
cities got wiped out, but that's what God thinks about place given over to
Sodomy, doesn't he? Look, that's God, that's God. That is the Lord
Jesus Christ, by the way, okay? That's what he thinks about Sodomites. He
doesn't change. He changeth not. The Lord Jesus Christ wiped out Sodom with fire
and brimstone and all the cities around it. He hasn't changed his mind about it.
He hasn't kind of softened up on Sodomites now. He hasn't watched a load
of Hollywood and now softened up and gone, okay, I'm wrong, you know, thank God
for, you know, director, whoever, Berg, Stein, whatever else. Thank God they told
me. It's true, isn't it? Okay, he hasn't, oh, you know, finally just watched a few
more Will and Grace shows before this. No, he hasn't changed his mind. He'd do
the same again. He absolutely wiped them out. Jude 1.7 says this,
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner given
themselves over the fornication and going after strange flesh, that means
queer flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
The idea is it's an example. It's in the preserved Word of God, yeah? He didn't
kind of, when Moses wrote the book of Genesis, he didn't leave out this
story for a reason. The reason is it's a really important story and it's meant to
be set, they're meant to be set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire, by the way. The example, the physical example, is a picture of eternal
hell fire. And who's the example to? It's not to the Sodomites, it's already done
for the Sodomites. Who's the example to? It's to leaders, to kings, to queens, to
governments, to people to keep away from these filthy people, for governments
to actually do what they should do and actually enact laws which would protect
the people from these types of people. Because they're only going one place, hell.
That's why Leviticus 20 13 says if a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a
woman, both of them have committed abomination, they shall surely be put to
death, their blood shall be upon them. The whole point in what happened is it's a
reminder how wicked that sin is and how important laws like this were in the
Bible and should still be under what at least some form of at least slightly
godly government. They wouldn't tolerate this, they shouldn't tolerate, it's nuts
that you've got some of the most vile dangerous people in society just running
around without, it's not even a crime anymore in this nation. It's nuts. And
where does it lead? Well, it eventually leads to just gang rape and all sorts of
absolute filth. And it should be, we should look at this and just remind
ourselves and go how wicked that is. So-called God-fearing government should
look at this and go yeah we need to make sure that we enact the laws of God and
protect citizens from this sort of filth. Verse 26 says but his wife looked back
from behind him and she became a pillar of salt. Okay so firstly this actually
happened okay. Perhaps she literally melted on the spot. Salt being like
ashes, the elements that make up the human body, maybe she just literally
melted. But it is obviously a picture of looking back to your old life as
well isn't it? Okay and when you're getting, when God's rescuing you from
your old life don't start looking back, don't start you know just just wishing
you were back in your old sins, in your old life, in your old wickedness because
you're as good as dead when you do that. It's just what a waste of your life as a
Christian. What a mess. And look she was saved, look she's in heaven right? But she
wasted what could have been productive years right? And not a nice way to go
either I don't think. But again we're gonna look at that next week when we
look at the pictures of the end times as well. Verse 27 says and Abraham got up
early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord and he looked
towards Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain and beheld and
lo the smoke of the country went up as a smoke of a furnace. What a sight to
behold that. I mean that must be amazing right? To get up in the morning just see
the whole place is level and just smoke going up in the sky. And it came to pass
when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abraham and
sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities
in the which Lot dwelled. And look aside from anything else and pictures of the rapture
etc your relationship with God can have an effect on family and friends too.
Obviously Abraham's did with Lot and saved family and friends and none saved
but saved family and friends as well. You can pray to God and you can intercede
and you can try and you know get get things. Look it's not just that if you're
saved and you're doing the things of God look God's gonna have an ear out to
your prayers as well right and for your loved ones. And here obviously we see it
it says here he remembered Abraham which is why Lot was rescued here because
there weren't ten righteous by the way there and Lot went up out of Zoar and
dwelt in the mountain and his two daughters with him for he feared to
dwell in Zoar and he dwelt in a cave here in his two daughters. Now what's
going on here because he begged to go to Zoar he didn't want to go to the mountain
now he's scared of Zoar and he's obviously seen this whole thing happen
his wife's turned into a pillar of salt. I mean the guy's just probably an
absolute wreck right now isn't he? He's also a double-minded man isn't he? And by
the way James 1-8 says a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways okay
look he made a decision he got granted that decision he shouldn't have just gone up
into the mountain into the into Zoar and stayed there instead he's now going
right now I'm gonna go in fact at the beginning should just gone yeah I'll go
will you tell me to go God right so he's just like obviously just some sort of
anxious mess and it says in verse 31 the firstborn said unto the younger our
father is old and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the
manner of all the earth so they're fearful as well they seem to be dreaming
up all sorts of weird things now I mean I don't know if they're saying they
don't think anyone else is alive or I don't really know or they're saying or
they're just saying that there's no men around now we're in the mountains but I
don't think it was the biggest trek to get up there but either way I mean this
is now this is some pretty hard reading this verse 32 says come let us make our
father drink wine we will lie with him that we may preserve seed of our father
and they made their father drink wine that night and the firstborn went in
and lay with her father and he perceived not when she laid down though when she
arose and it came to pass in the morrow that the firstborn said unto the younger
behold I lay yes tonight with my father let us make him drink wine this night
also and go thou in and lie with him but we may preserve seed of our father and
they made their father drink wine that night also and the younger arose and lay
with him and he perceived not when she laid down though when she arose thus
were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father these were saved
people I believe so backslidden so out of God's will so infected by that filth
they were exposed to weren't they because that's not this isn't normal
stuff yeah they've they've been living in Sodom but this is probably nothing
compared with you know how it should have been this is this was I mean to
even contemplate this that's why David said in Psalm 101 in verse 3 I will set
no wicked thing before my knives I hate the work of them that turn aside it
shall not cleave to me this family for me due to their father's weakness his
covetousness his apathy towards perversion they ended up in a cave doing
this absolutely wicked vile thing now you go oh you know they're saved right
why one is if they're saying why one is daughters automatically right that's
what people think don't they I mean this is I mean these are some pretty low
depths aren't they these look they got rescued as well I think they were saved
okay they got rescued they went with him the sons-in-law didn't I believe they
were so why why weren't they doing why won't they have better standards why
don't even contemplate this because lot was a useless dad the useless dad if you
care about your kids you care about your children those who don't have kids maybe
in the future maybe think about this look it's important how you behave as a
father isn't it because you start letting them be exposed to this sort of
filth and there's a lot of filth you could be exposing nowadays isn't there
yeah exposed to filth just like we said before your handheld device not really
knowing what they're looking at what they're watching what they're doing and
you end up with daughters saved I think daughters doing stuff like this by the
way his wife for me was probably a useless mum looking back to Sodom
she's getting rescued from that filthy place she's looking back and that the
idea there really that's what we're seeing is somebody's basically wanting
longing for their old life still looking back to Sodom I mean what a useless
useless woman she is instead of saying let them burn they were calling them
brethren yeah they should have said let God burn him that way and instead they
were going brethren my breath that's what lot was doing wasn't he by the way
where do they get the wine from I think they got the wine from probably Sodom
probably one of the things they took with them probably one of the first
things they packed when the angels said get your things always a wine I mean
can you imagine it you're legging it for something they've just been trying to
pull you out of your house they surround your house and all of that and you're
loading up the wine I mean what an absolute mess this family was weren't
they absolute mess well maybe look maybe they got it in Zohar but either way why
they're drinking and again what by the way what we just seen the second second
instant of alcohol in the Bible and I mean this is possibly worse than the
first one depending on what you believe happened in the first one with Noah
really good advertisement for alcohol is it oh yeah yeah but you know it's all
right to drink a bit isn't it oh you know God's given it for what a load of
old nonsense isn't it Bob says look not thou upon the wine when it give when it
when it is red when it giveth its color in the cup when it move itself right
fermented alcohol look at the state of these families these Christians are
boozing that are drinking what an absolute disgrace and the firstborn
instead of verse 37 bear a son and called his name Moab the same as the
father of the Moabites and to this day and the younger she also bear a son and
called his name Benami the same as the father of the children of Ammon and to
this day and there were two nations that end up being wicked by the way as well
so didn't go much better for their for those that came for them they had a
couple of diamonds amongst the rough roof being one of them to come in the
future but however what I mean what an end what what chapter the Bible right
that is it that is some grim reading isn't it however there's a lot you can
learn from that isn't there and I think number one lesson to learn for that and
it finishes on that as well just to remind us stay away from sodomites stay
away from sodomites keep away forget about your life make sure you got
nothing to do with them don't be combo where you might be able to get them safe
no they're filthy vile disgusting people get them out your life get rid of them
don't be anywhere near get all their filth all their promoted stuff all their
junk get it off your phones get it off your YouTube get it off stop watching
that stuff stop getting brainwashed but get away from them don't end up like
law yeah good lesson for me from that chapter on that let's play well thank
you for well you know what chapter of the Bible which is hard reading Lord
it's hard to even fathom however it's the truth it's your word it's every
single word of that is a hundred percent truth and and therefore we need to take
heed Lord we need to understand that it's set forth for an example unto us
Sodom and Gomorrah and there's so many examples so many lessons in that Lord
and we're going to be looking next week at all the lessons all the all the
pictures of the end times to come that are in there as well there's just so
much in that chapter Lord I pray that you just help us Lord help us to take
heed to that to understand how important it is to live righteously Lord to not
live like lot put away the covetousness Lord put away all of the the
double-mindedness all of the just just you know just weak Christian behavior we
see from lot there and and instead behave more like Abraham to just you
know do as you tell us to do to try and seek your will and all that we do to
just just act quickly when you give us Commandments Lord and not to be like
that help us to I get home safe sound tonight Lord and to return the Sunday
for another day in your house g-snake all this army
