Thought for Today: Wednesday November 09:
What a joy to wake up this morning and know YHVH is with us, no matter what is ahead in this day! What a joy it is to look back in the evening and be able to thank Elohiym for His Faithfulness and to experience His Peace. What a joy it is to know that someday soon, the burdens of this life will be over and we will awaken to His Presence!

The laws and customs of Sodom might have been intended to discourage immigration, whether because they didn't want witnesses to their wickedness or competition for the fertile lands around their cities. We can't say for certain what where the motives for their horrific behavior, but clearly their entire culture was long diseased and full of hatred for God and mankind. They probably weren't this bad yet when Lot first moved there or he would not have become one of the city elders. He was an immigrant himself, after all. Maybe he thought he could influence the Sodomites for good. Unfortunately, even the most righteous man can do nothing if the prevailing culture has degraded enough. Sometimes justice, balance, and the very survival of good people require the destruction of bad people.

The Accuser's plan has always been to destroy The Creation, The Seed. How better than to subvert and attack the first command, Be fruitful and to multiply by destroying the reproductive capicity of a generation.

Matthew 11:21-24 is arranged in a parallelism:
- A - V21 - Woe to Chorazin and Bethsaida
--- B - Tyre and Sidon would have repented
----- C - V22 - More bearable for Tyre and Sidon than you
- A - V23 - Capernaum brought down to Hades
--- B - Sodom would have remained to this day
----- C - V24 - More tolerable for Sodom than you
The Greek word anaktoteros is translated as "bearable" in v22 and "tolerable" in v24 by the ESV. Clearly Matthew intended the same word to be used in both places, as the KJV does. Varying the translation might be better prose in English, but obscures the intended poetic wordplay.
