There were five cities mentioned in Deuteronomy 29:23 and Genesis 19 that were subject to destruction: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar. Although Zoar was in the middle of those five cities it was not destroyed, because Lot fled there.
Joel P. Kramer shows the sulfur that destroyed the cities and provides evidence that these were the actual cities mentioned in the Bible. He also shows why other sites which some have claimed to be Sodom, such as Hammam, could not have been.
He reports that archeologists have even found the cave where Lot and his two daughters likely stayed (Genesis 19:30) after leaving Zoar.
Genesis 19:17-22 KJV – 17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

It’s amazing how they find the evidence if they just look for it. Too many close their eyes.

I have found Kramer’s Expedition Bible channel very helpful. I can trust his perspective will always be taking the Bible seriously as history. Blessings, Jim, and blessings to the pastor who will soon celebrate 25 years in ministry!
