Genesis ch. 13 (KJV)

1: And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

2: And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3: And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;

4: Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

5: And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6: And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

7: And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

8: And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.

9: Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10: And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

11: Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east:
and they separated themselves the one from the other.


12: Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

13: But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In these verses, Lot had not yet influenced by the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.


Genesis ch. 19 (KJV)
1: And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

2: And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night

3: And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

4: But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

5: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In these verses, Sodom and Gomorrah had contaminated Lot and his family. But he knew as soon as he saw the angels that he wasn't living right and he was raising his family in sin.


We all know the story that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.


Lot lost his wife.

Genesis ch. 19 (KJV)
26: But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.



Now lets find out what happened to Lot's daughters who grew up in Sodom and Gomorrah....

Genesis ch. 19 (KJV)
30: And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31: And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

32: Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

33: And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

19:34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

35: And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

36: Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

37: And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

38: And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

^^^^^^^^
So Lot's daughters got him drunk, twice... they both had sex with him so they could get pregnant that Lot's his bloodline could continue.

These are the last verses we read about Lot.
Lot's daughters, who grew up in Sodom & Gomorrah, came up with the idea to get the father drunk so they both could have sex with him. With the thoughts that they would preserve is bloodline.

Now let's don't forget, God destroyed S & G for being so wicked with sin.

These girls grew up in a society where sin was accepted and sinful behavior was all they knew.


The Bible doesn't say, but one would have to believe that the daughters saw incest behavior while growing up in S & G and never thought anything was wrong with it.




WAKE UP!!!!!! OUR NATION IS GOING DOWN THE SAME PATH AS Sodom & Gomorrah!!!!!!!
We've already lost the majority of the 35 year old and under crowd.
Alcohol, drugs, pornography, sexual behavior.... it's all become to easy and too easily accepted that nobody sees a problem with it.

What is our Nation going to become when the kids growing up now are in their 30's????


This is ONE example from The Bible. We have WAY more people in the world now than in the S & G days.
