Isaiah 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
In WWII people committed many types of Biblical sins: adultery, fornication, drunkenness, homosexual, lesbian, and such, but they did these sins in secret.
To declare your sins openly without shame as we see today, is as the sin in Sodom for which God destroyed Sodom.
In Genesis 19:13, the angel discloses the following: "For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it."
When their sins reach into heaven, God is aroused and takes action, judging those people who bring their sins to HIS attention.
Thus we see how God's judgment is hanging upon this present world where there is no shame for sin.
Time in the sight of God is described as follows: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (II Timothy 3:8)
The judgment of God is coming upon this world in the form of the great tribulation, the 14 plagues.
After that this present heaven and earth will be destroyed by God by fire. (II Peter 3:10)
The righteous ones of God will be removed from this present earth and taken in their new spiritual bodies to the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. (Revelation 21:1-5)
We will not have these earthly bodies in heaven. (I Corinthians 15:49-52) We will have spiritual bodies in heaven which are not subject to decay, pain, emotions. We will be as the angels of God in heaven.
We live in a time where the sins are as the sins of Sodom, they are not hidden. This is a prelude to the wrath of God that is coming upon this present world.

Matthew 11:20 Then began HE (Jesus) to upbraid the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not:
Matthew 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Revelation 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give Him glory.
Revelation 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

The terrible thing today is their lack of shame over that which they are doing.
So many women show no shame over becoming pregnant outside of marriage.
Homosexuals and lesbians often flaunt their sins before our eyes with no shame and no recognition at all that what they are doing is a sin in the sight of God.
Drunkards seek pity and often attribute their drunkenness to a medical problem instead of sin.
But the Bible shows us that drunkenness is sin:
I Corinthians 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexual), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

II Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

The wrath of God judges the disobedient at the coming great tribulation:
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Ephesians 6:5 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upo
