The study of the Bible in its historical context - with a focus on the archaeology, history, geography, customs , culture, and even the languages of the ancient Middle East. WE ask what did they understand THEN - the original intent of the Lord - so that we can expand and enrich our understanding NOW and thus become true disciples of Adonai Yeshua as in John 8:31-32.

What did the people do in Sodom and Gomorrah that made God to decide to totally annihilate them and their cities? What sin is so grievous, serious, or grave that God will not back down from bringing down His wrath? This is a heavy concept to think about. What adds to the seriousness of this lesson is Abraham finally got God to say He’d spare the cities if 10 righteous people could be found. But, think about it. What if 10 could not be found but only 9 or 8 or 5? Now what? The righteous would suffer God’s wrath with the unrighteous if 10 could not be found. There’d be no “rapture” for them.
So, what is the line in God’s eyes that we dare not cross? Is there a line such that there is no escape, no “rapture?” Perhaps in the midst of experiencing God’s wrath for us we’d be like the Hebrews in Goshen – we’d be miraculously protected by the Lord. Perhaps the Lord would do the same for the 9 or 8 or 5 righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah if 10 righteous could not be found. But, this is only speculation. We don't know.
The people in Sodom and Gomorrah did not know they crossed the line. They did not have God’s instruction which is the meaning of Torah. It does not mean law! They did not realize the heaviness of their evil actions in the eyes of Adonai. Sometimes I wonder if today if we too think we are OK and have not crossed the line such that God will bring down His terrible wrath. Hmm, I wonder. Just consider one aspect of our culture. Since Roe vs. Wade over 62,000,000 babies have been murdered due to abortion in the USA. 62 million!! Haven’t we heard that …
There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. (Pro 6:16-19)
62 million innocent babies have been murdered and this is something that God hates. Is this the line that if we cross it Adonai says “enough?”
