Josephus, a historian writer during the time of Christ, said the ruins could still be clearly seen in his day.Ģ. This evidence is provided in the following section.ġ. Though the actual locations of the cities are somewhat disputed, the growing evidence reveals that the locations are quite certain. Gomorrah is located at the base of Masada, and Sodom is about 13 miles (20 km.) south of Gomorrah.ģ. Sodom and Gomorrah are located around the eastern side of the Dead Sea.Ģ. Prepare yourself to be touched as you watch this unique video!Ĭlick the donate link below to support our work in producing videos about the Holy Land:ġ. God chose to destroy these wicked cities, and all throughout the Bible He speaks of Sodom and Gomorrah as an example of judgment to come for those who reject Him. See a powerful video about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and witness amazing new discoveries that confirm their existence and location. The story exists in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition, and there are all kinds of different viewpoints (even within the religious texts themselves) about what the true reason for the destruction was, with the debate only getting more heated in recent years.įrom the other cities that were destroyed to the man who claims he found them, let’s take a look at the untold truth of Sodom and Gomorrah. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is one of the most famous and hotly-debated biblical accounts of all, but there might be a lot you don’t know about the two cities that were allegedly burned for their sins. If there are any further worthwhile or provable discrepancies that you would wish I disclaim about this project, inform me and I'll be happy to include them here. God answers each time and answers he would have spared the whole city if he found just 10 righteous souls (perhaps less).Ĩ. Starting with 50 Abraham works his way down to 10. Before the destruction, Abraham questions God's judgement if he would slay righteous souls along with the wicked ones. Upon investigation of the modern day remains of Sodom it is believed the area was victim to some kind of Volcanic explosion and subsequent pyroclastic flow much like the remains of 'POMPEII' hence the expression that it rained 'FIRE AND BRIMSTONE'.ħ. Extra-biblical sources claim after escaping she ‘Ado’ (Edith) ran back to the city in attempt to save others.
Lot's wife was made into 'A PILLAR OF SALT' because she didn't heed the Angel's warning NOT to look back during their escape. However it does state the Angel's blinded the mob of men who were beating Lot's door.Ħ. The biblical account does not indicate the Angels actually fought anyone to get out of Sodom.
FIGHTING ANGELS IS NOT BIBLICAL! Again I'm not sure why 'THE BIBLE SERIES' added the fight scene but I would assume it was for dramatic effect. I lean more towards the Angels being heavenly visitors and I’m not sure how their metaphysical bodies work in this case.ĥ. There is a theory the two 'Angels' were two human male ‘messengers’ sent by God much like Jonah, the man was sent to Nineveh to beseech them to Repent or face Judgement. ANGELS BLEEDING IS NOT BIBLICAL! Personally I do not understand why ‘THE BIBLE SERIES’ chose to show the 'Angels' Bleeding. The bible somewhat leaves this open to ones interpretation.Ĥ. WAS ABRAHAM SPEAKING WITH GOD IN THE FLESH? Short answer, I can't say for certain. The Date 1893 BC is an estimation of this event based on ONE source of biblical chronology.ģ. Imagery and Dialogue are strictly creative works and shouldn't be imagined as biblical absolutes.Ģ. For extra insight in the activities of these wicked cities I suggest you read 'THE BOOK OF JASHER' chapter 19, after which you will understand you would've torched the cities too.ġ. SUGGESTION: If you are interested in the biblical account read 'THE BOOK OF GENESIS' chapters 18 & 19. MOVIES & SERIES: The Bible Series, Pompeii, Prometheus, Miscellaneous Clips.
(Lot was Abraham's Nephew who lived in Sodom). 'SODOM & GOMORRAH' is a visual DRAMATIZATION of the legendary escape of Lot's family from Sodom by the aid of two Angels.
