The area of Sodom had slime pits.
That would be where petroleum is located.
America is a bit like Sodom, having had a wealth of oil.
As was mentioned correctly, the sins of Sodom were identical to the sins of America.
Pride, abundance of bread, idleness.....
Notice how pride is celebrated in the US.
The sin of pride is the exaltation of self.
The same sin that caused Lucifer to become Satan.
The homosexual community has various Pride Weeks. Kind of fits doesn't it?
Another parallel now, is having a homo president and his push for homo marriage.
I think you left out the part where the angels said to Lot, "We can't do anything until you are out of here"
(My paraphrase). I see another parallel coming. Those right with God are removed first.
Over where Sodom and it's sister city were is an abundance of sulfur nodules.
The salt mentioned is frequently found (I am told) in a Salt Dome over oil deposits.
I guess the angels lit a fuse somewhere and it went up.
These stories are given as examples.
Alas, history repeats because of the consistency of Mankind.
My personal notes:
Of course God knew His plan for Sodom. He chooses to inform His friends of His plans.
In another place it says, God will do nothing except He tells His prophets His plan.
As for Lot, there are no perfect people in the bloodline of Adam.
Lot may have had enough confidence in knowing how homo the towns men were that they would reject sex with women. Thus his offer.
