Sodom
An ancient city God destroyed with fire for its extreme wickedness
Dead Sea regionAbout This Place
A city near the Dead Sea that became the ultimate biblical example of God's judgment. Along with Gomorrah, it was destroyed by fire and sulfur from heaven because of its rampant sin and injustice. Abraham bargained with God to spare it if even 10 righteous people could be found — there weren't. Jude and Peter both reference it as a warning.
Chapters Mentioning Sodom
2 Peter
The Ones Who Look Like Leaders but Aren't
Peter pulls no punches in this chapter. He warns about people who look like spiritual leaders but are actually leading people off a cliff — and he uses some of the most vivid, unflinching language in the entire New Testament to prove his point.
Jude
The Letter Nobody Wants to Need
Jude wanted to write a nice letter about salvation. Instead, he had to write an urgent warning about people who had slipped into the church and were quietly twisting everything. Twenty-five verses of unflinching warning — ending with words that stop you in your tracks.
Luke
The Story That Changed the Question
Jesus sends out seventy-two followers with nothing but a message, drops one of the most famous stories ever told about a man left for dead on a road, and gently reminds a busy friend that sometimes the best thing you can do is stop and sit.
Luke
The Kingdom Nobody Saw Coming
Jesus teaches about the weight of leading others astray, the absurd math of forgiveness, and faith that doesn't need to be big — just real. Then he heals ten lepers (only one says thanks), and drops a warning about the day the Son of Man returns that no one is ready to hear.
Matthew
The Send-Off Nobody Was Ready For
Jesus pulls his twelve closest followers aside and gives them authority to heal, cast out demons, and announce the kingdom — then tells them exactly what it's going to cost. It's part mission briefing, part reality check, and every word still lands.
Matthew
When Doubt Meets an Invitation
John the Baptist sends a question from prison that everyone's been thinking. Jesus answers with evidence, not argument — then turns to the crowd with a warning, a lament, and an invitation that has stopped people mid-sentence for two thousand years.
Revelation
Two Witnesses and the Final Trumpet
Two mysterious witnesses prophesy in the streets, are killed and left unburied, and then rise from the dead while the whole world watches. Then the seventh trumpet sounds — and heaven declares that the kingdom of this world now belongs to God.
Romans
The Hardest Question Nobody Wants to Ask
Paul wrestles with the most painful question of his life — why has Israel missed what God was doing? His answer takes us into the deep end of God's sovereignty, mercy, and a plan bigger than anyone imagined.
