<p>10:12 <i>I say to you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city</i>- Jer. 20:16 has a graphic description of the people of Sodom screaming out in anguish, both mental and physical, as the judgments of God fell upon them: &quot;The cry in the morning (when the judgments began, Gen. 19:23,24), and the shouting at noontide&quot;. This is in reality a picture of the rejected in the last days.&nbsp;And yet those who heard the Christian Gospel and rejected it will be resurrected to a worse judgment than Sodom. The degrees of judgment (&quot;more tolerable...&quot;) reflect degrees of responsibility to God according to varying levels of knowledge. The Sodomites had seen Lot's way of life and presumably been told by him that their behaviour was wrong. Their refusal to repent means that &quot;in that day&quot; of the Lord's coming they will be resurrected and punished; but those who hear the Christian gospel and reject it shall have a far greater punishment than Sodom had or will have.</p>
