Genesis 19:24

What happened may have been natural. It happens in many parts of the world. This valley is a place where it sometimes happens. Very hot rock rises from below the ground. The rock is so hot that it flows like water. Sometimes it rises so fast that it goes up into the sky. Then it falls like rain. This is called a ‘volcano’. Sulphur is a yellow substance that sometimes rises with the hot rock. So the sulphur that fell like rain should not surprise us. The wonderful things were these:

• The volcano destroyed only the cities that were wicked.

• It happened at the exact time that God had said.

God often uses natural things that he has made. He uses them like a man who uses his tools.
