"Blow ye the Trumpet in Zion, sound an alarm in My holy mountain...
for the Day of the Lord comes, it is nigh at hand!" Joel 2:1

      Jesus Christ — in Luke 17:28-30 — prophesied: "Likewise also as it was in The Days Of Lot: they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded.
      "But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven" (the sky) "and destroyed them all."
      "Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man" (Jesus Christ — the "Son Of God"/"Son Of Man") "is revealed."

      In this prophecy, Jesus Christ foretold that the world events and society of the world that characterized "The Days Of Lot" would also characterize the society of "the last days" just before the return of Jesus Christ, and we note from the study/reading of Gen. 18-19 that the "grievous sin" that characterized the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah that displeased God, and for which God destroyed the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone from the sky, was the "grievous sin" of homosexuality.

      This is seen in:

     Gen. 18:20-21 — "And the Lord said: 'Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah 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.'"

      God then came down to the Earth in the manifestation of 3 Persons (who I believe was a physical manifestation of the 3 Persons of the "Godhead"/Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) to warn the Patriarch Abraham about the destruction that he had come down to bring upon the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah where Abraham's nephew Lot lived.

     Jehovah God the Father then stayed with Abraham while He sent the other Two (the eternal "Son Of God" and the physical Person of the Holy Spirit) to Sodom to rescue Lot and his family before the fire and brimstone was to fall upon the twin cities to destroy them. As the "Two Angels" (or: the eternal Son Of God and the Person of the Holy Spirit) came to Lot in the city of Sodom, the homosexual men of Sodom swarmed the house of Lot demanding that he send the "Two Visitors" out to them so they could have homosexual relations with them:

Gen. 19:4-5 — "But before they" (Lot and his family and the "Two Heavenly Visitors") "lay down" (to sleep for the night) "the" (homosexual) "men of Sodom compassed the house round about, both old and young, all the people from every quarter.
     "And they called unto Lot and said unto him: 'Where are the men who came in unto you this night? Send them out to us that we may know" (have homosexual sex relations with) "them."

     This same "grievous sin" of homosexuality that characterized the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in "The Days Of Lot" is becoming more and more prevalent in America today which shows that we are now living in "the last days": the "days" that characterized "The Days Of Lot". This is seen by the fact that the United States Supreme Court on the date of Friday — June 26, 2015 — issued a ruling giving "same sex couples" (homosexual and lesbian couples) the "right" to marry their same-sex partner and that no State of the Union can forbid it.

     An Associated Press news article from Washington, DC published in PeoplePC Online on the date of June 26, 2015 titled "Supreme Court Extends Gay Marriage Nationwide" read:

     "The Supreme Court declared Friday that same-sex couples have a right to marry anywhere in the United States, a historic culmination of decades of litigation over gay" (homosexual and lesbian) "marriage and gay" (homosexual and lesbian) "rights generally.
     "Gay" (homosexual) "and lesbian couples could already marry in 36 States and the District Of Columbia. The Court's 5-4 ruling means that the remaining 14 States, in the South and the Midwest, will have to stop enforcing their bans on same-sex marriage."


     Five (5) of the members of the Supreme Court voted in favor of the "same-sex" marriage ruling who were Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen G. Breyer, Elena Kagen, Anthony Kennedy, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The dissenting Judges who voted against the "same-sex" marriage ruling were Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas.

     Chief Justice John Roberts, in speaking about the 5-4 vote that brought about the ruling that legalized "same-sex" marriage in all 50 States said: "This Court is not a Legislature. Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea or not should be of no concern to us. If you are among the many Americans — of whatever sexual orientation — who favor expanding same-sex marriage, then by all means celebrate today's decision, but do not celebrate the Constitution" (which states that "all men are created equal") "because it had nothing to do with it!"

     A/P "PeoplePc Online" stated: "There are an estimated 390,000 same-sex couples in the United States, according to UCLA's Williams Institute, which tracks the demographics of gay" (homosexual) "and lesbian Americans. Another 70,000" (homosexual) "couples living in States that do not currently permit them to wed would get married in the next three years, the Institute says. Roughly 1 million same-sex coupled, married and unmarried, live together in the United States, the Institute says."

     President Barack Obama praised the decision of the Supreme Court to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 States saying that the ruling/decision for homosexuals was "justice that arrives like a Thunderbolt"! President Obama also had the outside of the White House lit up in rainbow colors (the symbol of homosexuality) to celebrate the Supreme Court's "same-sex" marriage ruling, as is pictured here with the headline of the internet's ABC News article titled: "White House Lit Up In Rainbow Colors to Celebrate Same-Sex Marriage Decision" (published on the date of June 26, 2015).

     When I read President Obama's remark that the legalization — by the Supreme Court — of "same-sex" marriage in all 50 States, was "justice that arrives like a Thunderbolt" I thought about the "justice that arrived like a Thunderbolt" to the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah when fire and brimstone fell from the sky and destroyed those cities:

Gen. 19:24-25 — "Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven" (from the sky).
     "And He overthrew those cities and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground."
     Vrs. 28 — "And he" (Abraham) "looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the Plain, and behold, and lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace."

     Just as "justice that came like a Thunderbolt" brought destruction to the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in the form of fire and brimstone that fell from the sky, which demonstrated God's disfavor with the practice of homosexuality in the Old Testament so likewise in Rom. 1:24-28 the practice of homosexuality and lesbianism is forbidden in the New Testament:

     "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonour their own bodies between themselves.
     "Who changed the truth of God into a lie..."
     Vrs. 26 — "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use" (of sex with men) "into that which is against nature" (in the practice of lesbianism).
     "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the women" (in male/female sex) "burned in their lust one toward another: men with men working that which is unseemly" (in homosexual sex) "and receiving in themselves that recompense" (reward) "of their" (homosexual) "error" (which "reward" is AIDS) "which was meet" (earned/deserved).

     Just as President Barack Obama said that the ruling by the Supreme Court to legalize "same-sex" marriage nationwide was, for the homosexual and lesbian community, "justice that comes like a Thunderbolt", so I believe that because of that ruling by the Supreme Court — which identifies America with "The" ("last days") "Days Of Lot" — may also be the cause for which God will send, upon America, "judgment that will come like a Thunderbolt".

     The legalization of "same-sex" marriage in all 50 States — as mandated by the Supreme Court — is also helping to set the stage for the rise of the Antichrist, as in Dan. 11:37 the Prophet Daniel foretells about the person of the Antichrist: "Neither will he regard the God of his fathers" (which indicates that he will be a Jew who will not "regard" the "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" — the "God of his fathers") "nor the desire of women..." The fact that the Prophet Daniel foretells that the Antichrist will not "regard the desire of women" indicates that he — Antichrist — will be of the homosexual persuasion, and we also note that before the World will accept a practicing homosexual for a world leader, first of all the practice of homosexuality must be accepted, and the Supreme Court of the United States legalizing "same-sex" marriage nationwide, is helping to set the stage for that to come to pass.
