Genesis 19 : Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed

[Music] the two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening and lot was sitting in the Gateway of the city when he saw them he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground my lords he said please turn aside to your Servants house you can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning no they answered we will spend the night in the Square but he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house he prepared a meal for

them baking bread without yeast and they ate before they had gone to bed all the men from every part of the city of Sodom both young and old surrounded the house they called to lot where are the men who came to you tonight bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said no my friends don't do this wicked thing look I have two daughters who have never slept with a man let me bring them out to you and

you can do what you like with them but don't do anything to these men for they have come under the protection of my roof get out of our way they replied this fellow came here as a foreigner and now he wants to play the judge we'll treat you worse than them they kept bringing PR pressure on lot and moved forward to break down the door but the men inside reached out and pulled lot back into the house and shut the door then they struck the men who were at the door of the house young and

old with blindness so that they could not find the door the two men said to lot do you have anyone else here sons-in-law Sons or daughters or anyone else in the city Who belongs to you get them out of here because we are going to destroy this place the outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it so lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who were pledged to marry his daughters he said hurry and get out of this place because the Lord is about to

destroy the city but his sons-in-law thought he was joking with the coming of dawn the Angels urged lot saying hurry take your wife and your two daughters who are here or you will be swept away when the city is punished when he hesitated the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city for the Lord was merciful to them as soon as they had brought them out one of them said Flee for your lives don't look back and don't stop anywhere in

the plain flee to the mountains or you will be swept away but lot said to them no my lords please your servant has found favor in your eyes and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life but I can't flee to the mountains This Disaster will will overtake me and I'll die look here is a town near enough to run to and it is small let me flee to it it is very small isn't it then my life will be spared he said to him very well I will grant this request too

I will not overthrow the town you speak of but flee there quickly because I cannot do anything until you reach it that is why the town was called Zoar by the time lot reached Zoar the sun had risen over the land then the Lord rained down burning sulf on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of the heavens thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain destroying all those living in the cities and also the vegetation in the land but Lot's wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt early the next morning

Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord he looked down towards Sodom and Gomorrah toward all the land of the plain and he saw dense smoke rising from the land like smoke from a furnace so when God destroyed the cities of the plain he remembered Abraham and he brought lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where lot had lived lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains for he was afraid to stay in Zoar he and his two daughters lived in a cave

one day the older daughter said to the younger our father is old and there is no man around here to give us children as is the custom all over the Earth let's get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family lined through our father that night they got their father to drink wine and the older daughter went in and slept with him he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up the next day the older daughter said to the younger last night I slept

with my father let's get him to drink wine again tonight and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father so they got their father to drink wine that night also and the younger daughter went in and slept with him again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up so both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father the older daughter had a son and she named him Moab he is the father of the moabites of today the younger daughter also

had a son and she named him Ben Ami he is the father of the ammonites of today [Music] [Music]
