Witness mighty power throughout the Bible:  H1419 gadowl great importance, in number, loud (sound), intensity,  distinguished of men, of Yahweh Himself

Deuteronomy 4:37, 9:29; 2 Chronicles 26:13; Psalm 106:8; Luke 9:43; Ephesians 1:19

Adonai appears to Abraham in this chapter, Adonai means lord or master.  YHVH, HaShem, Yeshua HaMashiach all names for Yahweh.  What did Abraham do on the third day, with pain in his flesh?  Here Adonai comes to honor him for his obedience.  Great reward comes from obedience.  Abraham mapped out our life to live blessed--it was his obedience to Yahweh's instruction.  When Abraham saw the three men while standing in the tent, goes out to meet them and prepares a meal for them.  He stands while they sit to eat.  This is the 5th appearance of Yahweh to Abraham where He tells the promise of the son in Sarah's hearing.  Upon her hearing she laughed.  She had been barren and now advanced in age, yet is anything too hard for Elohim?!  This angered Yahweh, this laughter. For His word will go forth and will stand.  He let Abraham know that according to the time of life, He would return and they would have a son.

Yahweh comes to speak with His friend, that it is not hidden and things are plainly known.  It was through set forth in Genesis 3:15 that the seed of the Messiah would come from the lineage of Abraham.  In this revealing of His plans to His friend, as they walked together and talked about the what is going on in Sodom.  The city of Sodom had the root of evil in greed.  The wealth in this region drew many for personal increase.  This led to a harsh mindset of not giving alms --what's mine is mine.  They also developed the sexual practices that they are most known for, with the additional purpose of keeping out visitors.  Sodom was the governmental authority and ruled over 5 towns that includes Gomorrah.
This chapter gives us the why--His plans are not kept secret.  We have the reason for judgement or blessings, again He did not keep it secret.  The Creator actually showed up to speak with Abraham that he would be apart of the process to plea for those who resided in that city but did not operate in wicked practices.  The first Hebrew in conversation with Yahweh asked for the city to be saved for even as small a number as 10.  This friendship with the Hebrews was for the benefit of mankind.  Look at this pattern, the good divided from the wicked.  That all are not to experience His wrath if found to be good and not partaking in wicked practices that has to be addressed.  Fiveamprayer, watch for the patterns throughout the Bible, He changes not!  We are the ones who changed, improved, made better--or so we have thought.  Forgive us Yahweh for our bold disrespect and dishonor to attempt to change what You have set forth, unchangeable and is forever.  To hear this teaching again click here.
