ISRAEL-Tel Aviv: Sodomite Paradise

If anyone needs further evidence of the gulf separating Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, they might check out the LGBT travel website, which has named Tel Aviv the best gay city of 2011.

The website refers to Tel Aviv as “the city that never takes a break” and calls the LGBT life there “perhaps the most vibrant in the Middle East.” The write-up praises the openness of the city by the sea and says that thanks to “the democratic tradition of Israel, the gay community enjoys political freedom as in no other middle-eastern country.”

Gaycities.com says that “rarely a month goes by that Tel Aviv isn’t celebrating some musical or cultural event,” adding that “huge dance parties” host local and European DJs each weekend.

Tel Aviv garnered the support of 43 percent of the website’s voters, followed by New York City (14%), Toronto (7%), Sao Paolo (6%), Madrid (5%), London (5%), New Orleans (4%) and Mexico City (4%).

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai greeted the news by writing on his Facebook page that “victory in this competition further highlights the fact that Tel Aviv is a city that respects all people equally, and allows all people to live according to their values and desires. This is a free city in which everyone can feel proud, and be proud of who they are.”

-Jerusalem Post, 12 January 2012


This is one report that gives us no pleasure to publish, but is necessary to show that Israel’s tolerance goes far above most other countries. 

What does it all mean? It means irreversible judgment. Jesus Himself gave this prophecy, “Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city” (Matthew 10:15). That punishment was pronounced upon those who “shall not receive you (the disciples), nor hear your words.” We know that the destruction of Jerusalem and with it the land of Israel, became a horrible reality when in 70 A.D. the Roman forces destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple and the country lay virtually barren for about 2,000 years.

But Jerusalem will be the place of another horrendous apostasy, when God’s two witnesses are killed. Revelation 11:8 reads: “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” That, of course, is the city of Jerusalem. Sodom stands for perverse sexual activity, and Egypt represents bondage. The prophet Jeremiah also spoke about that day, “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 30:7), but we note, Israel “shall be saved out of it.”
