Why were sodom and gomorrah destroyed?
In Genesis chapter 18, God told Abraham:"Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know." (Genesis 18:20-21)At this point He does not give the details of their sin but only that because of their wickedness people were crying out to Him. It is not until Ezekiel chapter 16 that we find out what Sodom did that was worthy of death.Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. (Ezekiel 16:49)God destroyed Sodom on behalf of the oppressed. Sodom's prosperity had caused them to grow prideful and neglect the poor and needy.We might have expected God to judge them so harshly had they committed more heinous crimes. But the truth is, all of us are worthy of the same judgment.Ezekiel 18:20 bluntly declares, "The soul who sins shall die." Romans 3:23 brings it closer to home: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."And again:None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. (Romans 3:10-12)But there is a solution. Though we all fall under condemnation just like Sodom and Gomorrah:The righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it -- the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. (Romans 3:21-25a)The righteousness that God requires has been made available to us apart from the law even though the law bears witness to it. The way to be righteous before God is to simply believe in Jesus Christ. Just as all have sinned, all may receive righteousness as a gift because God made Jesus to be a propitiation by His blood.What this means is, "for our sake" God made Jesus "to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21) The sacrifice of Jesus Christ satisfies God's righteous anger against our sin. If we believe Him, we will escape the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah just as Lot did.

What happened to Lot after Sodom and Gomorrah?
Though archaeologists doubt the existence of these cities, according to the Bible they were very real (Jude 7, Matthew 10:15; 11:21-24, Romans 9:27-29, Jeremiah 50:40) and situated along the SE boundary of Canaan (Genesis 10:19; 13:12) located at the Low Plain of Siddim. (Genesis 14:2, 3). Many people believe that the original sites now lie submerged beneath the waters of the Dead Sea, while others feel that the ruins of the cities may be among the wadis to the East and SouthEast of the Dead Sea.-Genesis 13:12;The cities were not rebuilt. They remain in ruins and the cities abandoned to this day. Their present day names are Bab edh-Dhra (Sodom), and Numeira, (Gomorrah).ANOTHER ANSWER:Moses' inspired and recorded account of what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah "became an example" for the world's societies today."Moses was with the assembly of God's people in the wilderness. He was the mediator between the people of Israel and the angel who GAVE HIM Life-Giving Words on Mount Sinai TO PASS ON TO US." (Acts 7:38 NLT New Living Translation)"...Noah [and Enoch - see Jude 1:14-15] warned the world of God's Righteous Judgment. Then God destroyed the whole world of ungodly people with a vast flood. Later, He turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into heaps of ashes and swept them off the face of the earth. He MADE THEM AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO UNGODLY PEOPLE. But at the same time, God rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a good man who was sick of all the immorality and wickedness around him. Yes, he was a Righteous man who was distressed by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day." (II Peter 2:5-8 NLT)Sodom and Gomorrah are an "example" for our society to know and understand that all of our actions, works, thoughts and deeds shall come under the Judgment of our Creator.They are an example for those who "believe it NOW" and conduct themselves accordingly. And it will be the shock of a lifetime to the rest… the vast majority of mankind, living and dead… then, resurrected from their graves - to have the LORD "open the books of the Bible" [Rev.20:12] in front of them on Judgment day, to measure their deeds and show them the Scriptures cited above, and more.Then the Truth of God's Word will be made known to all people: "…and the Egyptians [and every nation] shall know the LORD in that Day…" (Isa.19:21).And there will be no more unbelievers in the world.So Noah and Enoch warned their generations of God's coming Judgment… and few believed them; until the flood took them out.And Jesus reveals that in the last days of God's plan [at the time of the end], the world would regress back to Noah's day in wickedness, ungodliness… and the Sodom and Gomorrah mentality [Matt.24:37]. You know… like the way the world is today.And, sure enough… not that many folks today believe. Yet, Sodom and Gomorrah's example remains extant for any who choose to believe, to avoid a certain "future shock" on the Day of Judgment. The same Judgment Noah and Enoch warned people about."If a village doesn't welcome you or listen to you, shake off the dust of that place from your feet as you leave. I assure you, the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be BETTER OFF on the Judgment Day than that place will be." (Matt.10:14-15 NLT)"And you people of Capernaum [and New York, and Paris, and London…], will you be exalted in heaven? No, you will be brought down to the place of the dead. For if the miracles I did for you had been done in Sodom, it would still be here today. I assure you, Sodom will be better off on the Judgment Day than you." (Matt.11:23-24 NLT)Jesus believed Sodom and Gomorrah existed. And He will make sure everyone who has ever lived and died will, too. In the Judgment.

Did he say If God doesn't judge America he'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah?
This statement frequently attributed to Billy Graham, actually originated with his wife, Ruth, during a review of her husband's manuscript for his book, World Aflame, published in 1965. He had just finished a chapter vividly describing the sinful conditions in America, and gave it to Ruth to read. She was very much sobered by the writing and returned the document to the study where he was writing and laid it on his desk, saying, "Billy, if God doesn't come soon and bring judgment upon the United States, He's going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!" The account was recalled briefly as an illustration in a message by Dr. James Kennedy (pastor, Coral Ridge Presbyterian, Fort Lauderdale, Florida), entitled "Prayer and the World Crisis", at the National Prayer Congress, Dallas, Texas in 1976. The statement has frequently been requoted by many others since that time. By Dr. Dale A. Robbins
