One Abomination Too Many (6 of 6)
Series: The Six Sins Of Sodom
Jeff Strite
Ezekiel 16:44-54
OPEN: A man went to see a psychiatrist, and told him, ''I've been doing some bad things, Doc, and my conscience is troubling me.''The psychiatrist thought about that and then said: ''And you want something that will STRENGTHEN your will power?'' But the man replied, ''Well, no. I was thinking of something that might weaken my conscience.''
Jerusalem was a city with a weakened conscience. They had sinned so terribly that God said that even Sodom and Samaria hadn't done half of the evils that Judah had done. God declared: ''Not only did you walk in their ways and do according to their abominations; within a very little time you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.'' Ezekiel 16:47
In Scripture, Sodom is a by-word of evil. Deuteronomy 32:32-33 (talking to Israel about their forefathers' disobedience): ''For their vine (the disobedience in Israel) comes from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter; their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.''
Essentially Sodom was the benchmark against which all evil was measured. And at the heart of Sodom's sin was (PAUSE) AN ABOMINATION. Jerusalem is told by God: ''Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and DID AN ABOMINATION BEFORE ME. So I removed them, when I saw it.'' Ezekiel 16:49-50
In other words... there were SIX sins Sodom was guilty of. But the last was an abomination, and when God saw that ABOMINATION He ''removed them.'' But what exactly was this abomination Ezekiel was talking about? Well Genesis 19:1, 3-11 tells us: ''The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face t ...
