New York City. If we look into the Jewish book of Jubilees we can find that there was much more wickedness
going on in those cities. It says they were wicked and sinned exceedingly, because they defiled themselves and
committed fornication in their flesh. So, God executed judgment on their places according to their uncleanness.

Jubilees 16:5-7 “And in this month the Lord executed his judgments on Sodom, and Gomorrah, and
Zeboim, and all the region of the Jordan, and He burned them with fire and brimstone, and destroyed
them until this day, even as I have declared unto thee all their works, that they are wicked and sinners
exceedingly, and that they defile themselves and commit fornication in their flesh, and work
uncleanness on the earth. And, in like manner, God will execute judgment on the places where they
158
have done according to the uncleanness of the Sodomites, like unto the judgment of Sodom.”

This passage says “God will execute judgment on the places where they have done…. uncleanness of the Sodomites” which
includes today’s cities. This should remind us of the brimstone used in the destruction of Sodom in Lot’s time.

Genesis 19:28 “and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley,
159
and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.”

It was the city of Zoar that was saved from the Wrath of God during Lot’s day. Will there be cities saved during
the judgment of this nation? If no judgment comes, then God would have to offer an apology to Sodom and
Gomorrah for its destruction. Could God use fire and brimstone to judge the Sodomites of this nation? Will
God use an asteroid, a comet or an atomic bomb to purge the wickedness from this land? We will see that God
will use a comet as a warning for His coming judgment. God created the heavens to declare signs as well to the
nations. God had used the Old Testament prophets to declare to the nation of Israel that judgment was coming
and to fear the Lord. In the passage of scripture quoted by President Obama in Isaiah, God uses the Assyrians to
conquer Israel. It was when “they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer.”

We have seen the Islamic terrorist’s attacks in this country. We do know that Iran is in the process of developing
atomic weapons. We will later see there is a sign in the heavens in 2017 indicating war. Will God use atomic
weapons and war against this nation as judgment for our evil and lawlessness? Lawlessness is making it lawful to
do what is seen as an abomination in God’s eyes. We know for fact that God sees sodomy as evil and wicked and
will allow it to occur during the time “they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer.” The Supreme Court has ruled
for same-sex marriage in 2013. This has legalized sodomy and homoerotic behavior throughout this country.
