There were five urban communities of the plain (Genesis 14 : 2,8). Sodom is given more consideration since it was the main city and where Lot had settled. What is said concerning the wickedness of Sodom likewise connected to alternate urban areas.
The brilliant detachments cautioned Lot of the looming demolition of Sodom and asked him to address his family. Tolerating the message himself, Lot start inducing others. He took a chance with his life by going out around evening time to encourage his children in law to escape yet they would not tune in. They thought he was kidding. Anyway, when morning unfolded, the time was everything except over. However, in those last minutes, the tolerant Lord grabbed the reluctant Lot, his significant other and little girls, and brought them out of the city himself (19 : 15 - 16).
At the point when the discipline came it was quick and horrendous (19 : 24 - 25). God drizzled, not high temp water, but rather brimstone and fire (consuming sulfur). So fantastic and finish was the obliteration, that it is every now and again specified in the book of scriptures as a notice, particularly of the end-time judgment ( Deuteronomy 29 : 23, Ezekiel 38 : 22, Luke 17 ; 28 - 30, 2 Peter 2 : 6, and Jude 7). While the immense surge addresses us of a future world judgment, the demolition of Sodom and Gomorrah show us that the future judgment will be by flame ( see Psalm 11 : 6).
Be that as it may, now, getting to your inquiry:
Covered some place in the Dead Sea locale lie the remaining parts of the urban areas of the plain including Sodom and Gomorrah. It is a most bizarre and uncanny place, a landmark on the off chance that you will to God's judgment on human sin. The Dead Sea itself lies many feet underneath ocean level and is loaded with salt. At the southern end there is an extraordinary pile of salt 700 feet high and five miles in length, referred to in Arabic as the Mount of Sodom right up 'til today. Mainstays of salt additionally ascend starting from the earliest stage, there is the stench of sulfur vapor noticeable all around. God had transformed heaven into damnation ( see Genesis 13 : 10).
Parcel's significant other, who had been so honored by God, thus close to wellbeing, was gotten up to speed in the annihilation. Her activity in thinking back, was contrary to the order "don't look behind you or stay anyplace in the plain". The entire place would have been a hazardous situation (think about the drizzling down of sulfur fiery debris in a volcanic ejection). Jesus said "Recollect Lot's better half. Whoever tries to spare his life will lose it" (Luke 17 : 32 - 33). The issue with Lot's better half was that she was torn. She would not generally like to relinquish Sodom. She didn't 'trust and comply'. She attempted to hold tight to her life in Sodom, and lost her life in the colossal fire and turned into a mainstay of salt, which is very justifiable given her salty surroundings at the season of her end.
A mainstay of salt named "parts spouse" is in reality still situated close to the Dead Sea at Mount Sodom in Israel (this depends on human convention). The Jewish history specialist Josephus asserted to have seen the mainstay of salt which was Lot's better half. Its reality is likewise verified by the early church fathers Clement of Rome and Irenaeus. The Islamic Quran (Koran), additionally has much to say in regards to the subject of Lot's better half transforming into a mainstay of salt at Mount Sodom.
