"Now, about this time the Sodomites, overweeningly proud of their numbers and the extent of their wealth, showed themselves insolent to men and impious to the Divinity, insomuch that they no more remembered the benefits that they had received from Him, hated foreigners and avoided any contact with others. Indignant at this conduct, God accordingly resolved to chastise them for their arrogance, and not only to uproot their city, but to blast their land so completely that it should yield neither plant nor fruit whatsoever from that time forward."
Jewish Antiquities 1:194-195
Didn't it resemble the first and second atom bombs? or perhaps an event soon to unfold?. The descriptive annihilation resembles so much of a nuclear explosion aftermath. The God of that age must have had nuke-like powers with him. Just like the gods we have these days.
