“Judgment Day for the Cities of S, G, A & Z”
20th In our series the Epistle of 2nd Peter

I. The Certainty of Coming Judgment - 2 Peter 2:4-6
* A. The Judgments on the fallen angels and of the world wide flood 
* B. The Judgments on the cities of the plains in Abraham’s day - Genesis 19:1-28
* 1. Lot insisted they come into his house for he well knew what the wicked of Sodom would do to them at night
* 2. The wicked attempt the evil abomination which lent the name of this city to that evil
* a. Some apologists for Sodom claim that their sin had nothing to with sexual immorality
* b. Some claim that Scripture only forbids such behavior in exchange for money - qâdêsh
* c. Flee all forms of sexual immorality, not just those that involve exchange of money - 1 Corinthians 6:18
* 3. They are not simply immoral in their sexual behavior, they are down right violent towards anyone who opposes their evil agenda
* 4. Lot was rescued from the evil men and then from the evil city which God completely destroyed
* a. Geologic evidence - sulfur, intense heat, turned cities to ashes
* b. Archaeological evidence - Ron Wyatt’s 1990 discoveries

II. The Warning to all generations of men - 2 Peter 2:6, 9
* A. God’s standard of righteousness will be enforced though it may not happen immediately - 2 Peter 3:9
* B. Repent for Judgment is already on its way 
* 1. Acknowledge God’s righteous standard is perfect and take God’s Word as your own standard 
* 2. Turn from the evil path to do righteous deeds
