Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap.

Today's reading covered some really sensitive topics, so if you have young ears nearby,

user discretion is advised.

Yesterday, we wrapped up with a bit of a cliffhanger.

God told Abraham he was going to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of

their wickedness, and Abraham was trying to negotiate with God not to destroy the city

of Sodom in particular because that's where his nephew Lot lived.

We know Abraham really cared for Lot because as you may recall, Abraham traveled hundreds

of miles with 318 of his warrior servants to rescue Lot and his family when they were

kidnapped and taken hostage during a war.

So here we are today with two angels showing up in 191 and again they appeared as human

males. We know this because that's how they're referred to in verse 10. Verse 5 gives us

reason to believe that the human appearance they took on was probably physically attractive

because the local men demanded to have sex with them.

This is another scenario where like in Genesis 6, humans are attempting to have sex with

angels, but this time it was human males.

The enemy has shifted his strategy a bit.

Sodom is a city that was known for several types of sin, and this can be a pretty divisive

subject in society today and even within the church itself.

One type of sin Sodom was known for was homosexuality.

We haven't gotten to Leviticus 1822 yet, but it uses the same Hebrew word when addressing

this topic in detail.
