About this episode
Our entire culture is a frantic, headlong flight from the law of the harvest, from the simple truth that whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. We want to live like Sodom in the evening, and then wake up in a world where it is forever morning in America, with no hangover. His judgments are not arbitrary fits of pique; they are the inevitable, righteous, and sometimes terrible harvest of a course of rebellion that has been freely chosen. It is a permanent, granite-hard monument to the reality of divine judgment. It is set forth for an example, Jude tells us, of suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. And in our passage today, we are taken to a vantage point, the morning after, to look upon the results. We are standing with Abraham, the friend of God, the great intercessor, and we are looking down at the valley.
