Homosexuality— a Sign of the End of the Age?

Homosexuality. Another important form of sexual perversion common in our time is homosexuality. The first mention of this sin is found in Genesis 19:5, where we are told that the men of Sodom surrounded Lot's house and demanded him by force to hand over to them two male visitors that had arrived at his house, so that they could "have sex with them." The name of the city became descriptive of male prostitution, "sin of sodomy," which is condemned by the prophets, Jesus, and the authors of the NT (Deuteronomy 23:17; 2 Kings 23:7; Isa. 1:10; Ezekiel 16:46; Matthew 11:23; Revelation 11:8; Jude 7). Sodom and Gomorrah became the byword for male prostitution and serve as examples of God's wrath on such sin. 


“Homosexuality would be flaunted at the end of the age. Jesus warned that the last days would be like the days of Lot who lived in wicked Sodom (Luke 17:28-30). We know that the root of Sodom's sin was pride and complacency (Ezekiel 16:49) as it is today. However, Sodom's lasting infamy stemmed from their aggressive homosexual sin (Genesis 19; Jude 1:7). Today, the homosexual agenda is flaunted and forced upon our entire society.”

“So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near” (Luke 21:31).
