God deals first in mercy, but afterwards in judgment. The third act of this play begins at once after the second. You have time just to see the awfulness of rebelling against God. And now, act three opens upon a scene of great hilarity and merrymaking. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are running wide open.
Laughter turns to fearful screams.
Sin and sensuality are paying off in tears and destruction. You can t go on forever in sin, despising God and God s Son and loving evil, without coming under judgment. That fearful day is coming. But now the Holy Spirit comes to say still more about those troublemakers and filthy dreamers. They are like three men of olden days who also called forth the judgment of God.
