Was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah the wrath of God?

Les explains that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was not the wrath of God per se, but a disciplinary action. God did not really make them suffer like they will in the tribulation. It was just an instantaneous wiping out of Sodom and Gomorrah, and it was plowed under. The cities were turned into ashes and condemned with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that should hereafter live ungodly. Les points out that the reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah was because of the homosexual lifestyle, and the world is never to forget it, though they do. He notes that some archaeologists are convinced the cities are under the Dead Sea, but they have not been able to excavate them. God is telling the world to look at what He did to Sodom and Gomorrah and to those kind of people, and to wake up.
