Homosexuality A Sign of The Times

In the Bible we read the story of Lot, and of Sodom and Gomorrah, in Genesis Chapter 19. It is there that we read the account God gives of why and how these two cities were destroyed. Today, as we look out over our world, we again see "The Days of Lot" and are reminded of the God's prophetic word:

Luke 17:28- 30: "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."

I believe that the sins of Sodom are a "signal sign" pointing to the soon return of Christ, and the end of time. The world we live in today is filled with spiritual darkness and all types of sexual immorality. Lot lived among and was surrounded by a perverse and evil people. A people consumed by homosexuality.

Genesis 19:4: 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: 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.

Jude 1:7 "Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange (Greek: different, other) flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."

The truth is that the heart of man has not changed, it only has become more depraved.

How many generations have come and gone since "The Days of Lot"? In each and every generation there has been a repetition of the same mistakes, the same rebellions and yes, the same stubbornness. There, however, has always been a plan in place, God's plan and His plan will be fullfilled. Man, he too has had a plan, a plan that has never been his own. The plan of man is the plan of his unseen master, a plan that has always been in direct opposition to the plan of God. All we have to do today, is look at the past and be able to read the future. We know that man's future is directed by the "flesh". The desire of the flesh is to be satisfied, and the world today offers up all the enticements to feed its hunger.

The civilization of Sodom and Gomorrah illustrates how wicked and sick man can become, as he strives to feed the hunger of the "flesh". All morals had been lost, there was no sense of guilt and there was only increased wickedness without restraint. This great evil attracted God's attention and judgment soon followed. The parallel of these two cities and our world today, while given over to all manners of evil, cannot be ignored. The greatest of these evils is of course "homosexuality". In our world today, however, homosexual sins are being marketed as a normal, healthy, alternative life style. The great network of media is trying very hard to make society accept the idea that homosexual behavior is right and normal, that it should be tolerated and accepted. Movies and television programs feature and even glorify homosexuality now.

The Bible is clear, the increase of homosexual behavior (as in The Days of Lot), is a sign for the soon return of our Lord. There are of course other signs, other prophecies that must be fullfilled, but as this country and the world accepts this sin more and more, it is clearly a sign of His coming.
