Bonkers world we live in.
A Gigantic Sodom and Gomorrah
Really?
I’m thinking of a few Bible verses here.
Matthew 11
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
The wise and prudent. Who are they in this time?
Revealed to babes. Who are they in this time?
Jeremiah 23
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
Maybe we don’t have a good understanding about Sodom. Or Gomorrah. But the Lord could open our minds. Only He has the power.
Think about the Apostles who followed the Lord around right next to him, who were brought up learning the scriptures in their temple from their religious leaders.
But they did NOT understand the scriptures. Not until the Lord opened their minds.
Luke 24:45
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures
Also, notice the word “might”.
The Lord can open our minds, but even that doesn’t guarantee that we will understand.
My point: Who of us can cast the first stone? Who of us has had our minds “opened”, so that we might understand the meaning of the scriptures?
Just my thoughts.
