Take a look in the mirror, reflect, and ask yourself—who am I the daughter (and if ya a brother, son) of? Sodom or THE MOST HIGH YAHUAH?
In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. MISHLEI (PROVERBS) 12:28 את CEPHERWhile the story of Sodom & Gomorrah is infamous, we want to provide some background information from the Script for understanding the lifestyle, ethics, and culture of Sodom & Gomorrah:
Details of Sodom & Gomorrah from the Book of Genesis
AND there came two angels to Cedom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Cedom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; And he said, Behold now, my adoniym, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake matstsah, and they did eat. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Cedom, 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 you this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 19:1-6 את CEPHER
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will need to be a judge: now will we deal worse with you, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. And the men said unto Lot, Have you here any besides? son in law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whatsoever you have in the city, bring them out of this place:
BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 19:7-12 את CEPHER
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of Yahuah; and Yahuah has sent us to destroy it. And Lot went out, and spoke unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for Yahuah will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take your woman, and your two daughters, which are here; lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his woman, and upon the hand of his two daughters; Yahuah being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for your life; look not behind you, neither stay in all the circle of the Yardan; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.

Commentary:
It’s interesting how all the books have comparable details regarding the spirit of Sodom & Gomorrah. It is important that we understand Sodom & Gomorrah and its ethics so that we can actively fight against this spirit. Because we must strive to be the Nation we were (and are) called to be. We can’t assimilate to the ethics and practices of Sodom & Gomorrah. We have to represent our Righteous Creator & our Righteous Nation better.
We have to follow our code of light. This is why it was given in the first place—-to keep us protected, respected, and connected. We don’t want to have the reputation and history of Sodom & Gomorrah. We are ultimately a reflection and legacy of YAHUAH. And our Creator doesn’t deserve that.
This is how our Father feels about Sodom & Gomorrah (+ being likened to Sodom & Gomorrah):
Wickedness.
But the men of Cedom were wicked and sinners before Yahuah exceedingly. BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 13:13 את CEPHER
YAH had to get off his throne to see their wickedness…
And Yahuah said, Because the cry of Cedom and Amorah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 18:20-21 את CEPHER
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Yashar'el, nor a sodomiy of the sons of Yashar'el.
DEVARIYM (DEUTERONOMY) 23:17 את CEPHER
And in the fourth year of this week Lot parted from him, and Lot dwelt in Cedom, and the men of Cedom were sinners exceedingly.
YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) 13:17 את CEPHER
This lifestyle gets us kicked out the blessings.
And there were also sodomiym in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahuah cast out before the children of Yashar'el.
MELEKIYM RI'SHON (1 KINGS) 14:24 את CEPHER
Rebuild the waste cities.
And Aca did that which was right in the eyes of Yahuah, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomiym out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
MELEKIYM RI'SHON (1 KINGS) 15:11-12 את CEPHER
Rooted out the earth.
Except Yahuah Tseva'oth had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Cedom, and we should have been like unto Amorah.
YESHA'YAHU (ISAIAH) 1:9 את CEPHER
For Yerushalayim is ruined, and Yahudah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against El-Yahuah, to provoke the eyes of his glory. The show of their countenance witnesses against them; and they declare their sin as Cedom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
YESHA'YAHU (ISAIAH) 3:8-10 את CEPHER
Babylon Too?
And Babel, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Kasdiym's excellency, shall be as when Elohiym overthrew Cedom and Amorah.
YESHA'YAHU (ISAIAH) 13:19 את CEPHER
Umm… 😳🫣
I have seen also in the prophets of Yerushalayim a horrible thing: they break wedlock, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none returns from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Cedom, and the inhabitants thereof as Amorah. Therefore thus says Yahuah Tseva'oth concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Yerushalayim is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
YIRMEYAHU (JEREMIAH) 23:14-15 את CEPHER
I recommend reading this whole chapter. It really shows the Most High’s Feelings on this:
Behold, everyone that uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter. You are your mother's daughter, that loathes her man and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, which loathed their men and their children: your mother was a Chittiy, and your father an Emoriy. And your elder sister is Shomeron, she and her daughters that dwell at your left hand: and your younger sister, that dwells at your right hand, is Cedom and her daughters. Yet have you not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways. As I live, says Adonai Yahuah, Cedom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters. Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Cedom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
YECHEZQ'EL (EZEKIEL) 16:44-49 את CEPHER
For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Cedom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
QIYNAH (LAMENTATIONS) 4:6 את CEPHER
Plead for your brothers and sisters under that spirit. Then said I, Avraham prayed first for the inhabitants of Cedom, and Mosheh for the fathers that sinned in the wilderness:
EZRA REVIY`IY (4 EZRA) 7:106 את CEPHER
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of Elohiym? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sodomiym, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of Elohiym.
