Have the Biblical Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah been Found?

A famous archaeologist believes he has found the biblical city of Sodom in modern-day Jordan and says there is evidence that proves the city was wiped out by fire.

He says he used the scriptures from the Bible to find Sodom and Gomorrah, and an airburst from God destroyed it. The site was “wiped out in the blink of an eye,”

The story of Sodom and its sister city Gomorrah is one of the Bible’s best-known stories in Genesis 19:1-30. 

Genesis 19:24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

Genesis 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Genesis 19:27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:

Genesis 19:28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

Genesis 19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

There are many people around the world and even people in churches that are not paying attention to the “example” from God; they will reap the same result, which is the vengeance of eternal fire.

Jude 1:7   Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an “example,” suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Everyone agrees on is that something unusual happened at Tall el-Hammam, an ancient settlement near the Dead Sea. In a layer of ancient earth, archaeologists have found evidence of an apocalyptic event:

Disintegrated pottery and unusual patterns in rock formations can be associated with intense heat. Pottery shards with their outer surfaces melted into glass, some bubbled as if boiled, “bubbled,” and melted building brick and plaster, suggesting some unknown high-temperature event.

Objects of daily life, carbonized pieces of wooden beams, charred grain, bones, and limestone cobbles were burned to a chalklike consistency.

Led by the dean of the College of Archaeology at Trinity Southwest University, 21 experts from 19 research institutions weighed in on Tall el-Hammam’s remains, concluding that the nature of the destruction suggested a massive airburst.

“There’s so much specific information about the location of these cities that you would practically have to be blind and illiterate not to be able to find the location of Sodom because there are at least 25 known pieces of geography that you can triangulate between to take you to the city of Sodom. It’s not difficult,” the Dean explained.

The proposed airburst was larger than the 1908 explosion over Tunguska, Russia, where a 50-m-wide  that explodes in midair detonated with 1000× more energy than the Hiroshima atomic bomb.”  

Most of the 21 authors of the paper are scientist peers who worked “six years” to produce their findings.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, birds, fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served themselves more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen

Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Romans 1:27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward anothermen with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Romans 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient
