A TALE OF TWIN CITIES

     Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.  But his wife (Lot's wife) looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.  And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:  And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.  (Genesis 19:24-28).
     From geological studies of the land of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah, scientists have determind that the "fire and brimstone" was a nuclear weapon.  When Lot's wife became a "pillar of salt", the Hebrew word for "salt" is vapourized.  And when Abraham saw the "smoke of a furnace" he was looking at a mushroom cloud from a nuclear blast.
     Think not?  We need to remember that God is smarter than we are.
     If you will read the opening text of Genesis 19, the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was perverted sex, for which God rendered His judgment.  The people there crossed God's "line in the sand".
    There was a time when the United States of America was the Christian Capital of the world.  In that time, the United States represented the Light of Christ throughout the world.
     Today, however, the United States is the sex capital of the world because of our production and distribution of perverted sex on television, in movies, music, books, magazines, cell phones, iPhones, internet, and pornography around the world.  Even young children are exposed to perverted sexual and graphic information at early ages and their minds have been poisoned.  So many people today do not blush anymore; neither are they embarassed by what they see or talk about.
     The lights of churches went out, people stopped praying and reading the Word of God, and churches became religious centers in which to socialize, have coffee and donuts, and now people of congregations are following false prophets, false preachers, and false priests into the New World Order and to Antichrist, who is Satan.  And we who believe and follow the Lord are called "those born again Christians" and "Bible thumpers" as if we are "religious nuts".
     As difficult as this is to write, the United States has crossed God's "line in the sand".  For in the last book of the Bible, you can read about God's judgment on the United States in the 17th chapter of The Revelation of Jesus Christ and how the United States will cease to be a nation in a time span of one hour.
     We know that God is love, and we also know that God has an abundance of mercy and grace; but God also has law.  And when people or nations cross God's "line in the sand" and without repentance, His judgment will follow.
     If you have never acknowledged Christ as your Saviour, I urge you not to let this decision linger.  All you need to do is pray, even from where you are sitting now.
