Order of Nature Transgression by Sodom
THE EPISTLE OF JUDE ·
Ready-To-Post Teaching
When Jude says Sodom went against nature, the nature in question is not a vague moral instinct. It is an architecture.
Scripture opens with God separating things and assigning them places - light from dark, waters from waters, and heavenly beings to their dwelling and humans to theirs. Heiser's reading of Jude 6-7 is that both halves are violations of that architecture. The Watchers abandoned the station they were assigned. Sodom reached for beings who belonged to it. Same line, two directions.
Scripture links:
- Jude 6 - The angels "left their proper dwelling" - oiketerion, their assigned station.
- Jude 7 - Sodom "pursued unnatural desire" - other flesh.
Order is not a mood God is in. It is how the world was built, and both halves of Jude's example are about tearing at the seam.
What the Scripture Says
- Jude 1:7ESV
just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
