Intercession as Zero Hour Nears

IN Genesis 19 is a picture of the power of intercession:

Abraham was a major-league intercessor.
He saw his nephew delivered even as he saw God's judgment on the evil citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah
"Will the LORD spare Sodom for 50, 45,40, --down to 10...??"
Perhaps we stand closer to God's wrath than we realize today;
perhaps we are more like Lot than we are like Abraham.
Do see the principle that righteous people are somehow a deterrent to judgment day wrath.
And we see the powerful influence ofone person who has the courage to ask God to spare others!
