A couple of key things to note:
In the passage just before this, when Abraham talks with the angels who come to visit him, they say to him, “The outcry against Sodom...” That word “outcry” is perhaps better translated as “shriek”
Notice what the angels experience—it is not about anything consensual or loving.
It is all about power, abuse, domination, greed and lust.
The Real Sin of Sodom
Notice what Ezekiel says: the people of Sodom were well off—very well off—and yet they “did not aid the poor and needy.”
What does “haughty” mean here?
What does “abomination” mean here?
Our Sin?
We are well off, that’s for sure, but are we aiding the poor and needy?
Are we haughty?
Are we idolatrous?

So God destroys the cities of the plain
God’s Mercy for Us
Praise the Lord, we do not need to end up like Sodom & Gomorrah.
