Abraham was pleading with God to save Sodom and Gomorrah. That time, the sin of this place is grievous which makes the God of heaven angry before them. Abraham bargained with God, “if there be 50 righteous people found in Sodom, will you destroy the place?” and then 40 then 30, then 20, then 10. God will spare the city of Sodom for the sake of 10 righteous people. But God has not seen righteous people except Lot and his wife and 2 daughters.

The problem with Sodom is, it is extremely a bad city. Sexual violence is rampant. The people of Sodom according to Ezekiel 16 are arrogant and unconcerned, who does not care for the poor and needy.

God’s patience for them had finally run out. The Lord rained down burning sulphur on Sodom and Gomorah.

Mount Sodom – a mountain of crystalline salt, 5 miles long and 300 feet high along the south western shore near it. But the rains of Sodom are nowhere to be found.

Sodom earned his terrible judgement because of human sins.
