Teaching Points The Certainty of God's JudgmentJust as Sodom and Gomorrah were definitively destroyed, God's judgment on Edom is certain. This serves as a reminder of the seriousness of sin and the inevitability of divine justice. The Consequences of Pride and Sin Edom's downfall is linked to their pride and hostility towards Israel. Believers are reminded to guard against pride and to live in humility before God. God's Sovereignty Over Nations The prophecy underscores God's control over the nations. He raises and brings down kingdoms according to His will, encouraging trust in His sovereign plan. The Call to Repentance The desolation of Edom serves as a warning to turn from sin and seek God's mercy. It is a call for personal and communal repentance. Hope in God's Promises While judgment is certain for those who oppose God, His promises of restoration and hope remain for those who turn to Him in faith.(18) Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof.--The destruction of the two cities named had become proverbial, as in Isaiah 1:9; Jeremiah 13:19; Amos 4:11. What is noticeable here is the mention of the "neighbour cities." We may connect it with the fact that they are named as Admah and Zeboim in Deuteronomy 29:23.Verse 18. - As in the overthrow, etc.; comp. Deuteronomy 29:2, which explains the reference in "the neighbour cities" (Admah and Zeboim). The verse is repeated in Jeremiah 50:40; It does not, of course, mean that rite and brimstone should be the agents of destruction (nor is even Isaiah 34:9 to be understood literally), but that the desolate appearance of Edom should remind of that of the neighbourhood of the Dead Sea (comp. Isaiah 13:19; Amos 4:11). Parallel Commentaries ...
