Four cities: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Севоим were destroyed from the face of the earth with fire from heaven. The anger of the Lord was caused by violence and disgusting sins of the inhabitants of these cities. God has declared to Abraham, that Sodom is to be destroyed, Abraham was praying for that sinful city, and the Lord promised him that he would not destroy the city if there are at least ten righteous. But they were not found. And that's what happened. Lot lived in Sodom, just a man with his wife and two daughters.
God sent in this city of two angels who have taken human form. It was in the evening. Hospitable Lot took them in his house, not knowing that it was the angels.
"But before they lay down, as urban residents of Sodom, young and old, all the people from all parts of the city surrounded the house. And they called to Lot, and said to him: "Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them". Lot went out to them, and locked the door behind him and said: "my Brethren, do not so wickedly... unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. But they said. .."This is a stranger, and wants to judge? Now we will deal worse with тобою. than with them." And came sodomites to Лоту. to break the door down. "Then the men (those angels) put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house and locked the door. And the men that were at the entrance of the house, struck with blindness, both small and great... the men Said to Lot: " .. We will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown to the Lord..." And they took by the hand, and his wife, and his two daughters, and brought forth it. and set him outside the city... one of them said, "don't look back,.. escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed."
"The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain of this, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and grew upon the ground. His wife looked back behind him, and became a pillar of salt".
Предполагают. that the ruined city were at the site of the southern part of the Dead sea. The expression of "Sodom and Gomorrah are used and today for the definition of prostitution, including the sin, because of which God so extremely angry, and which has recently spreading all over the earth.
