Sodom • Wicked city destroyed by God for its sins

Sodom, a notoriously wicked city destroyed by God along with Gomorrah for their grave sins (Gen. 19:24-25).

Sodom was an ancient city located in the plain of Jordan, known for its great wickedness (Gen. 13:13). It was one of the five "cities of the plain" (Gen. 14:2) and was closely associated with Gomorrah. God determined to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah due to their grave sins (Gen. 18:20), but Abraham pleaded with God to spare the city if even ten righteous people could be found (Gen. 18:22-33). However, not even ten were found, and God rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah, completely destroying them (Gen. 19:24-25). Lot and his daughters were the only survivors, as they were warned by angels to flee (Gen. 19:15-16). Sodom became a byword for wickedness and divine judgment (Deut. 29:23; Isa. 1:9-10; Jer. 23:14; Ezek. 16:46-56; Matt. 10:15; 11:23-24; Luke 17:29; Rom. 9:29; 2 Pet. 2:6; Jude 1:7; Rev. 11:8).
