He waited 400 years for the iniquity of the Amorites to be full. Its going to get a whole lot worse in the USA.

I heard preachers say during the 90s that if we went deeper in sin, God was going to need to issue an apology to Sodom. I never did believe that, but the deeper we fall, the more I wonder how bad Sodom aand the days before the Flood must truly have been. We live in perilous times.

I think it was far, far worse than we have been told. We know the Nephillum were in the Earth in those days. I believe they were more advanced in knowledge than we are today. The whole world was filled with violence. Every imagination of mens hearts were only evil.

What were the sins of Sodom that caused God to rain down destruction on them?

48 As I live, says the Lord God, neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.
Ezekiel 16:48-50

Are we sure its not the same? Or worse?

In those days their actions were clearly sin, evil.

Today those same sins are written off as simply an alternate lifestyle.

The crimes people commit are reported locally with only the occasional grevious crime reported nationally but only when it intices or crosses a social issue. ie;the trayvon incident. But the truth is, these are just the tip of the iceburg. What if we could sit down and see a news report every evening of ALL the crime committed in every community in the nation for that day?

How would we view our condition compared to Sodom then?

Scripture says they were EXCEEDING sinners and wicked before the Lord. Gen.13:13

One sin led to another before they opened the floodgates of demonic perversion of homosexuality.

Just some quick glances at statistics shows that news report would take awhile.

These are just U.S. stats.

Murder - 45 / day average
Rape - 243 / day average (thats just those that are reported)

Thats just two of the violent crime catagories.

Could you imagine sitting down to that news report everyday?
