Satan’s assault on America as originally constituted increases daily. Human participants in the attack declare for the most part that their rage is justified.

The story of Lot, of Sodom and Gomorrah, is also a dramatic picture of all of mankind in its fallen state. The story foreshadows how the human race always chooses the ways of the world that take people farther and farther from their Creator.
Lot, despite being among the lost, debauched thousands of Sodom, was nonetheless considered righteous in the eyes of that Creator -the God of Heaven.

The story of the sorely vexed Lot can be found in the 19th chapter of the Book of Moses–Genesis.
