Steven Collins: Discovering the City of Sodom

[@bn_mediorcty]

I interviewed a guy called peter about 4 years ago who volunteered on this dig for a few weeks. He told me that the city was destroyed by an airburst meteorite which he described as an atomic bomb without the radiation. He said the smell of the ash layer was unforgettable. There was rocket fire going on all the time while they were digging just a few miles away at Jordans border. . And the most treasured thing they uncovered was a baby who had died who had been buried in a type of pot/jar. It must've been quite a heart affecting discovery, he spoke of it with much feeling. It's one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had, I was hanging off every word. I'll never forget it. If this interview doesn't leave you awestruck over God, I dont know what will.

[@Tinfoilhat1000]

This was so refreshing, truly well done. Thank you so much, I will be sharing.

[@sandywong1959]

So amazing! Just studied this biblical story with my Bible study group! Thank you so much for sharing your unbelievable discovery. Such an interesting program!!

Excellent interview! Thank you Eric! :)

[@cmhanson]

I decided to listen to this Socrates on a whim. Great guest Eric & very interesting subject. Love to see the power of God displayed in nature. Thanks for walking us through this so thoroughly. It must be a thrill holding something like that "Trinitite" in your hand & even being there where this happened! God reveals Himself in the most amazing places.

[@Regina4Truth]

I have to get this book, I'm not that smart,but anything to do with God am in, I love this. It's awesome, and how cool,there's evidence to prove the Bible text is fact it's great ammo for me in witness, thank you so much, shout out to stephen Gardner interview I'd never would of found it, and love the laughter and personality's! SO refreshing! Thank you, and God Bless you with continued success,I hope God has a plan for me, 57 still wondering, hope you know how blessed you are. May the peace of God be with you

[@colinm610]

God definitely has a plan for you. Don't you ever doubt it. You don't have to prove anything. Just enjoy Him. He loves you. God bless you. From NZ.

Fascinating

[@ashc2703]

I feel like the main takeaway of this story is the authority of scripture. Particularly Genesis. The original locations were wrong and the commentary he spoke of because they started with an authority outside of the text. I encourage to go and read the first chapters of Genesis then go to Answers in Genesis and/or listen to some talks from Ken Hamm about the authority of scripture and having a Biblical world view when looking at these things. Thanks for posting this!

[@wortzentriert]

Awesome

[@kreeskalay7042]

An interesting thing is trinitite is named after the results of the "Trinity test". The Trinitarian God left his mark on the pottery that would, thousands of years later, be named "trinitite".

[@globalcitizen995]

No, however sulphur was found at those ashen sites on the western side of the dead sea discovered by Ron Wyatt in the 1990's

[@ljansick]

😂 you had me interested for the first hour and four minutes and then you started talking about about..... oh my goodness, meteors. (What about the mention of the fire and brimstone mentioned in the Bible and the pure sulfur balls they found in the ashes of the walls? No mention of that.)

[@THERTOGAL]

I love reading how God’s stored the fire stones and so many other items stored just for the day when this world is destroyed. Love Job 38-;2 It’s the deepest thoughts we’ve NEVER EVER CONCEIVED OF!

[@tubaszuba]

Listen to some of Collin's other KZbin stuff where he gets into the nitty gritty. If you do word studies on the fire and brimstone stuff, an atmospheric burst is within the descriptive capacities of those words.

[@anng.4542]

The Collins team may not have been studying remains of the walls. And think about it: wouldn't brimstone (molten sulfur) have been consumed under such tremendous-- unimaginable-- pressure and temperature?

[@t.e.1189]

this is really interesting, wish the interviewer would quit interrupting him though.

[@Regina4Truth]

Thankyoy

[@peggybrown9694]

Ron Wyatt deserves the credit for this discovery.

[@jordanwipf956]

I love this discussion, however I will mention, Eric did a horrible interview job here. He kept interrupting the guy. Which I don’t get. He never has done it before in any interview. But still, a fascinating discussion.

[@jeremywhittenstaff1601]

Feel like he was trying to pace the conversation based upon time constraints and ensure the high points were hit.

[@Yayas_World29]

So frustrating. Especially when he dramatically emphasizes his interruptions.

[@Tapfire-qz8cg]

As a Muslim it’s amazing to hear the story of this discovery and how it aligns with both of our teachings (the Quran speaks about Sodom and how God sent angels to destroy the nation due to the transgressions and the refusal to listen to Prophet Lot. The Quran says god sent down stones that were baked and every single one had the name of every resident engraved and the nation was lifted and turned upside down and slammed back to the earth. It also says we have left there remains as a warning to future generations.) this find is truly historic. Link for anyone who wants to listen to that story from Islams perspective a lot similarities and some differences Part one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3TWmIahhNWoh68si=peXE8V3Aa-jW9L6M Part two about the destruction kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIDSqHaHbt1kY80si=YN957xly9TzKup2b

[@LadyBug1967]

Thank you. Fascinating. I have been thinking about Sodom a lot lately due to the dire straits that the world is in as regards sin and the darkness that has cloaked mankind. I would love to ask Dr Collins what he thinks of the destruction of biblical sites occurring in the Holy Land and in particular in Gaza but also in Jerusalem. Add to that the Arab countries where many holy sites are found& that America's bombed ruthlessly over the decades. Following October 7th, but way before things turned absolutely genocidal, I kept saying something that no one else said which is that it was beyond evil to render the destruction of the land; the land that is Holy; the land is that sacred. HOW dare we bomb it to smithereens. Tear it up and destroy it because it, as human beings, was made by God & is sacred, especially this earth in the Holy Land. What does he think? Dr Collins brought together the holy book with the evidence the land rendered to him & I'm wondering if people feel that God sent that asteroid to destroy Sodom or whether nature has its own intelligence & sought out Somon and destroyed it because of its wicked ways? In either case, I surely hope an astroid seeks out the location of the government of the zionist state and destroys it so we can return to a Holy Land of three faiths where people live in peace and harmony. Thecdecadence of that era pales in comparison to what is occurring now in the genocidal zionist state enabled by AI. I want to thank Dr Collins for remembering to ask mother earth for her secrets and then later thanking her. True class & true faith & true wisdom come together in one humble man. Thank you

While I do love this book. The intro with his wife really was irritating. The guests at the table where she was didn’t laugh.

[@anahills3836]

Very interesting. I'm just wondering though, if Sodom was destroyed by a huge burst like that, how did Lot get far enough away fast enough to not be flattened? He and his daughters were just on foot and it sounds like the destruction came right away after they'd left the city. And why didn't Abraham hear a huge explosion or see a burst of blinding light? In the Bible it just says he got up and saw smoke rising from the area so he knew that it had been destroyed.

[@GodsworkGodswork]

Same way God has allowed me and many others be in what should be for sure death environments and come out unscathed without explanation...they are called eloheem my friend. God is a God of miracles and it's a tiny thing for him to do to be able to carry forth the truth about different things

[@kennethcarter1323]

In the words of Spock, "fascinating". From the discussion, the geological and archaeological evidence confirm something like a meteoric impact event that occurred at the city of ancient Sodom that leveled the entire geographic area. Cannot confirm for sure whether the forces unleashed where natural or supernatural in origin but likely a combination of both. At least, that's my take on this incredible archaeological discovery.

Did you watch the video? Since you didn't, I'll tell you what actually happened. At 45:17 he specifically said 20,000-30,000 °F underneath the tower where the atomic bomb was tested (not the temperature to produce trinitite) At 52:31 he said the surface of the sun is 5,000 °F (no idea what video you was watching to get 27,000-54,000 °F ??) He backs up both the melting and boiling point in the video he said 15,000-30,000 °C for the temperature at the surface of the pottery for trinitite to form 1/8'' away from the surface. Stop pulling numbers out from all over the video and labelling them with the wrong actions. You didnt listen to the video or didnt like what you heard so you thought you would try to disprove him and his works by making it seem like he doesn't know what he's talking about. The irony.

@@CheAkki Revisiting this. Surface of the sun is around 10,000°F (5,500°C). Fact. And you are correct that he said the temperature was underneath the tower. BTW, I believe what he found and and I believe that Sodom was destroyed. I did watch the video and I did like what I heard. My point is that it's important to stay factual to preempt attacks from critics. You might lighten up on the personal attack mode instead of simply disputing numbers in a civil manner.

What's the Bible about?

[@JScox]

Since the Bible refers to God destroying the cities of Sodom & Gomorrah because there could not even be 10 good men found in the cities, actually finding the remnants of it pretty much proves the story is true. You people always try to discredit every story relayed in the Bible for lack of "evidence." Now, here's evidence. So, obviously, you just refuse to open your eyes. God mention "those with ears to hear and eyes to see," but it doesn't sound like you'll make it into that group.
