Is this the time of Sodom and Gomorrah?

What I am hearing you ask is this. “Is our generation like the generation of Sodom and Gomorrah when God brought judgment to those two cities? Genesis 13:13 says they “sinned greatly”.  Genesis 19:24 says “the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah.” To determine if our time is exactly like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, one would have to be God and I wouldn’t want to go there. We all recognize, don’t we, that there is a lot of evil in our time and it is compounding rapidly. Jesus spoke of the “increase of wickedness” (Matthew 24:12) as history comes to a conclusion. Sometimes I feel like Ruth Bell Graham, the wife of Billy Graham when she said a few years ago, “If God doesn’t hurry up and do something, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”
