One thing I like about this show's portrayal of Sodom is that it shows its evil as a lot more twisted than the usua scenes of people getting drunk, overeatting and making out. They portray the evil of Sodom as so evil, that nearly everything shown in the city is silhouetted.
My Filipina helper used to make me watch this, and other Biblical stories, when I was little. And I remember how fucked up they all left me feeling after I had watched them all...
This is not scripturally accurate... It's 1/2 truths....Beware of taking it as truth or letting kids think it is the bible... Only by being in the scriptures will one truly know the truth...
The 3 persons that came to Abraham were 2 angels and God Himself. The 2 angels are depicted at each end of the Ark of the Covenant, covering the Mercy Seat. The blood of the sacrifice was poured out on the Mercy Seat. This shows that Jesus is the Sacrificed Lamb for sinners slain. His blood is poured out on the Mercy which is Himself. He is the perfect Passover Lamb put on the doorpost so that the Death Angel passes over. The 2 angels are on each side of Him.
The story of Lot has to be one of the most heavily edited in Sunday School. Of course, neither this version, nor any other aimed at children, will mention Lot offering his virgin daughters to the crowds of Sodom, or his daughters seducing their father.
Ishmael was Abraham's son. He became a nation of 12 Kings. Isaac was Abraham's only son. Isaac was Abraham's son of promise. Israel is God's nation of promise. Israel brings salt and light to the nations. Ishmael's 12 Kings now surround Israel. Israel is still God's promise, and they will never be destroyed.
