The Men Of Sodom by Dwane Karr
~ As you know the “first use” of a word in our WORD-PERFECT King James Bible, gives us a good idea of the basic meaning of that word and how it will be used throughout the rest of the Holy Bible. With that being so I would like to show you the “first use” of five words in our King James Bible. These verses are found in Gen.13 and Gen. 19, which deals with Sodom and Gomorrah. The first two words are used in Gen.13 describing the kind of people being dealt with. First use words… will be Capitalized and Bracketed;
Gen.13:13 “But the men of Sodom were {WICKED} and {SINNERS} before the LORD exceedingly.”
~ The other three “first use” words are found in Gen.19 and deal with God’s punishment dealt out on these cities for their behavior;
Gen.19:15 ” And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be {CONSUMED} in the iniquity of the city.”
Gen.19:24 “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and {FIRE} from the LORD out of heaven;”
Gen.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.”
