[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Lot approached Sodom as a tent dweller and finished in a comfortable house in the city. Such is the impact of a life style harmonious with human nature. Sodom was known for its pride, fullness of bread, with an abundance of idleness euimmorality. God’s abundant mercy is shown in the deliverance of Lot’s family. The angels lead Lot and his family out of the city and heading for Zoar at Lot’s request, only to see the city destroyed by fire and his wife in looking back with desire turned to a pillar of salt. ### Summary This presentation explores the biblical account of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, examining the available material, the possible locations of the cities, and the narrative's deeper significance.
