as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Jude 1:7-8
While today’s Liberal Progressive Christianity likes to claim that God is fine with homosexuality and other sexual immorality, the evidence of Sodom and Gomorrah is clear, God’s view on these practices are not favorable and there will be severe judgment to those who remain in this lifestyle.
Sodom and Gommorrah is a clear sign God will reign judgment on the wicked and immoral. Many today would like to say , this is just a made up story or a fable, however not only is there archeological evidence today, you can research it. Look at the words of our Lord Jesus Christ “Truly it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town” (Matthew 10:15) Jesus used Sodom and Gomorrah as a standard for the judgment to come for those who are not saved in Christ
So as you see, Jesus Christ himself affirms the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Old Testament, but also today the Apostle Jude under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit affirms Sodom and Gomorrah also. So what can we learn from this tragic event? As the Apostle says “have given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh” Sexual immorality is a big sin in Gods eyes, so what is sexual immorality? As Jesus defined the covenant of marriage, any sex outside the covenant of marriage of one man and one woman is immoral. (Matthew 19:4-6, Genesis 2:24)
Now if we remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, the men were so sexually depraved, they wanted to rape the angels that came to bring judgement upon the city. (Genesis 19:5) As the Apostle Paul wrote “God gave them over to a reprobate or depraved mind” (Romans 1:28) People become so deep into their sin, they become totally depraved, living for the flesh and becoming like a human animal.
Notice the phrase here by the Apostle “gone after strange flesh” this can also be translated as unnatural and perversion. This is a clear reference to homosexuality, as the Apostle Paul says “men leaving the natural use of a woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men, committing what is shameful (Romans 1:27)
It’s clear the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was a warning by God for the sexual immorality committed by the world. As the Apostle Jude warns “suffering the vengeance of eternal fire” The sins of the world as a broad road leading to Hell
But there is good news through Jesus Christ, we can become Born Again in Christ (John 3:3) We can be set free from our sins (John 8) As the Apostle Paul said “Such were some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified , but you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11)
