<NOBR>Ge 19:1</NOBR>	And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
<NOBR>Ge 19:2</NOBR>	And he said, Behold now, my lords, 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.
<NOBR>Ge 19:3</NOBR>	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 unleavened bread, and they did eat.
<NOBR>Ge 19:4</NOBR>	But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
<NOBR>Ge 19:5</NOBR>	And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
<NOBR>Ge 19:6</NOBR>	And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
<NOBR>Ge 19:7</NOBR>	And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
<NOBR>Ge 19:8</NOBR>	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.
<NOBR>Ge 19:9</NOBR>	And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
<NOBR>Ge 19:10</NOBR>	But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
<NOBR>Ge 19:11</NOBR>	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.

They smote the men of Sodom with blindness. Then all of them, small and great, wearied themselves to find the door.

The church has smitten the people of the spiritual Sodom with blindness, and they all, small an great are wearied to find the Door, Jesus, which leads to eternal life.

They are blinded by big buildings. Big bank accounts. fancy preachers. building up big numbers. parties. suppers. yard sales. false doctrine. set times to get together. bound down to one certain place. no unity among brethern. worldly entertainment. keeping holidays. easter bunnies. decorated trees and gifts. strung up lights. conforming to the world.

Yes, the church has blinded its people, and they are wearing themselves to find the Door.

But in the darkness, they will never find the Door until the fire falls from heaven and destroys them all.

So sad. For it did not have to be that way. They could have listened to the Word and found the Door and gotten out of that cage full of hateful birds.

But now it is too late.... the blindness has set up lameness and they can never get to the door, even if they could find the way out. The chains are heavy upon their feet and hands.

The Rich Man went one night too far. Now the flames of hell are his lone home.

And it did not have to be this way. but none could tell them. Oh no. they say. We cannot believe that silly Pentecostal way. We would rather be dead than to have to act that way and chatter in those babbyling tongues.

So the fire came down and consumed them all.

So sad.
