Full Transcript
They found Sodom and Gomorrah, I believe, about 20 years ago. They found it. And what baffled them was it seemed to have been destroyed from above by fire.
And there's a three-foot sediment of something on top of everything that destroyed it all. They found Sodom and Gomorrah. And of course, you know, they're saying, well, it is on a quake zone.
And so it's, you know, possibly the earth opened up and spewed out lava. And maybe that's the way God did it. I don't know.
And it shot up and came down on the city. But the bottom line is there was a Sodom and Gomorrah. Past tense.
The Lord will do what he said he'll do. And I'm telling you tonight, friend, if you don't flee your sin, you will be judged.
