Nations cannot endure the wrath of GOD. ~ (Jeremiah 10:10)

In Genesis 18:16-33, Abraham was pleading so much on behalf of Sodom and Gomorrah.  God was willing to spare the cities from destruction if He found just ten righteous people. Apparently, God did not find ten righteous people as big as the cities were. The Bible does not say how many righteous people He found, but there may not have been one more person of the same character as Lot’s in the cities. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, but Lot and His daughters were kept alive.

Our God is compassionate and slow to anger. However, He can decide to destroy a nation or afflict it with disasters if it remains unrepentant, and persistently evokes His wrath and judgment.

Before GOD, there was no God formed, neither shall there be, after Him. ~ (Isaiah 43:10)

There is only One True God that has ever existed, and there shall be no other.  He alone is to be acknowledged, served, and worshipped, bearing in mind the trinity of persons in the Godhead - God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.   There are not three Gods, but three persons in one God. (2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19).  Everything else that is worshipped exists only because the Only True God created it; it is false, empty, and completely powerless.

The first of the Ten Commandments has to do with the object of our worship (Exodus 20:3). The commandment forbids worship of other gods in thought, word, and deed. Giving glory to anyone or anything, which is due to God alone, is the sin against this commandment that we are most in danger of. Examples of other gods are business/career, money, other material things, images, animals, and fellow human beings.

Whatever is loved, feared, delighted in, or depended on more than God, is a god. It is forbidden to worship other gods, even if they are worshipped alongside God, or it is assumed that God is worshipped through them, with Him being superior.
