Abram rejected the expression of thanks from the King of Sodom!.

After the rescue was completed, the Kings of the Plain desire to express their appreciation to Abram and his men – namely, the King of Sodom and King.

Even though Abram was reluctant at first, he then decided to take his men and try to rescue Lot and his family and to recover some of their property.

A man from Sodom escaped captivity and told Abram that Lot and his family had been taken and were about to be sold as slaves.

The Kings of the East decimated Sodom, and they took Lot and his family with them as captives.

In God’s sovereignty, they also attacked the Kings of the Plain – including the King of Sodom where Lot, Abram’s nephew lived.

The four Kings of the East declared war on all the nations to their west – destroying cities, killing or taking the people captive as well as their valuables.The five Kings of the Plain determined to no longer pay taxes (tribute) to King Chedorlaomer.Therefore, Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY to have our sins forgiven, our relationship with God restored, and our assurance of everlasting life.Īppearing as both King and Priest, Melchizedek – serves as another “type” of our Savior, Jesus Christ.The Bible says Jesus – the Lamb of God – was slain from the foundation of the world – His death was God’s sovereign plan from the beginning!.

The “signs of the Savior” are in every book of the Bible – the Old Testament pointing to the promise of His coming – the New Testament pointing to the fact of His coming.The “scarlet thread” woven throughout the Old Testament is the prophetic trail of the blood of Jesus Christ – the Lamb of God, whose death paid the wages of the sin of the world.In John 5:39, Jesus told the Jewish religious leaders that the “Scriptures are they which testify of Me!”
