Have the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah been found?
No, the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah have not been conclusively found or proven. Some archaeologists believe the cities lie beneath the Dead Sea, but excavations have not recovered them, nor have renovated streets been uncovered for tourists to walk. Their destruction is described as instantaneous and complete.
Les explains that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was not the wrath of God per se, but a disciplinary action—an instantaneous wiping out of those wicked cities, plowed under. He notes that they haven't really proven the cities have been found yet. Some archaeologists are convinced the ruins are under the Dead Sea, but no excavation has brought Sodom and Gomorrah out so tourists could walk down renovated streets. Les further teaches that God destroyed them because of the homosexual lifestyle, making them an example to those who would live ungodly, and He delivered righteous Lot, who was vexed by their filthy manner of living.
