Here are Six signs that a nation is becoming like or is already like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sign 1. Compromising With Sin :
The Bible says long before Sodom and Gomorrah were going to be destroyed by fire that ‘’ the men of Sodom were wicked,great sinners against the Lord ‘’ Gen 13:13. But since the Land was well watered, lot chose to plant his family near to Sodom. What happened was Lot started compromising ,and instead of avoiding sinful city/state of Sodom. ‘’ Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom ‘’ Gen 13:12 or right next to it. Before you know it, Lot was sitting at the City gate,where the cities leaders and business men met .Gen:10:1 Lot was compromising with sin and if not for the Two Angeles taking him by force ,he and his whole family would have died in the coming fire.
Sign 2. Declining Morality.
If you look at T.V show just 10 or 20 years ago, You can notice that people were a lot more courteous, there is hardly any Profanity, and there is even less -sexually explicit images. Now , go back another 10 or 20 years. How has society changed since ‘’ Andy Griffiths ‘’ life 8n MayBerry ??? What was Andy Mayberry society like ..when you compare it today ??? Is it better or as you might suspect, growing more wickedgeree everyday?? Like the frog in the ‘‘pot’’ Our Nation doesn’t seem to notice that Evil is growing day by day and the heat keeps going up while the frog sits happily in the water, not knowing it’s soon going to be Soup. Is it any wonder that so many of our children are addicted to Pornography ?? Immoral activities?? .Pray for our nation to Repent And Trust in Christ ,before we too follow the ways of Soddom and Gomorrah, which today has no longer exist.
Sign 3.Corrupt Leadership
Since Soddom and Gomorrah were such Evil nations, You would expect that their business practices as well. It is very possible that their Political leaders would have been Bribed by special interest groups. It probably a lot like it is today in many of the political spheres ...in passing legislation through Congress, inserting “Pork Belly” pet project. Just for their own District / Constituency /village , almost assuring their re-election. Also,the way some Government departments do business is deplorable, outsourcing Jops just to make a little bit more Profit, leaving unemployed skilled, experienced and merit candidates behind . Some business intentionally take losses for certain things just to reduce their TAXES . Some individuals even burnEd down their ware house and Buildings in order to collect on Insurances and build a Newer better one.
When these kinds of businesses and Political practices Prevail in any Nation, then that or any nation is becoming like Soddom and Gomorrah.
Sign 4. What’s Good is Evil
When the Two Angeles came to rescue LOT,they wanted to spend the night in the Town Square( Gen :19:2) but Lot knew it was too dangerous, “the men of the city, the men of Soddom and Gommorrah both young and old,all the people to the last man, sourrrounded the house” (Gen.19:4) and these men Angrily cried out” where are the men who came to you tonight?? Gen.19:5 ...which clearly means they wanted to have Homosexual relationship with the men ( who were actually Angeles ). But Lot told them No..!!!!. The men didn’t take no for an answer and so they pressed hard against the man, Lot and drew near to break the door down. Gen: 19:9.
What used to be called evil is called good,and what used to be good is now Evil. When this happens (and I believe it has ) ..the nation is becoming very much like Sodom and Gomorrah.
There is a Bible reference that indicates what society can become like over time. It says that they forgot how to BLUSH,,meaning they so FlaunTed their Sexuality that they had no SHAME and where not embarrassed about anything anymore. It’s as if anything goes these days,, Sex sells but the pay day is horrific. For those who are involved in Sexual immorality, including the unmarried and those involved in Sex outside of marriage (adultery), God’s gives no assurance that they are going to be saved .When a Nation grows so Evil that SEX is brazenly posted and advertisEd, , then that’s a sign that Nation is becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah and we all know what happened to them.
When a person or nation does not afraid God, they have Zero chance of Having biblical Wisdom.,, Because the very beginning of wisdom is the fear of Lord .proverb 9:10 . What seems right to us is often contrary to the will and Word of God, But when any nation no longer fears God, then that Nation is headed for God’s judgement.... just as surely as Sodom and Gomorrah had. The fear that the Bible speaks about is not fear of being stuck dead or of God being angry at you. The fear of God is a Deep, Holy, Abiding respected and Reverence for God and his Word.Here is why it’s a good thing to fear God : “the fear of the Lord is instruction in Wisdom “ proverb. 15:33 and “The fear of the Lord Leads to Life and whoever has it rests satisfied :he will not be visited by Harm “ proverb : 19:23. When a Nation no longer fears God,, they had better fear God even More, utility fear his Holy Righteous Wrath.
Our society today puts up with some much more Violence, Filthy Language, and Nudity, that if our Great Grandparent or Grandparents could see it, they’d probably throw up. It would make them Sick to their Stomach. Today , many nations compromise with Sin,this causes Morality to slide downward, and this Corruption eneeds the business and Political spheres, until everyone thinks Evil is okay and what is good is now Evil. Thesee are clear signs that a nation is headed towards the same fade as Sodom and Gommorrah .Remember dear readers ...these nations were wipe from Off the face of the Earth...Forever.
Lastly...A simple but Relevant questions to Our parents, political leaders, church leaders, national freedom fighters ,top bureaucracies and general public...Are You Witnessing the above Six Signs in our Nation???
