GOD Announces The Coming Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah part-2

Blessings to all,
Welcome again, I am Jerry, this portion of our study continues with:

GOD ANNOUNCES THE COMING DESTRUCTION OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH part 2

As the two angels walk on toward the city, Abraham begins a kind of negotiation with the Lord. 
His nephew Lot and his family live in Sodom. Abraham seems to be concerned for them.
He boldly challenges the Lord: Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 

Abraham insists that such an action would not be consistent with the Lord's character. The Lord is patient with Abraham as he begins to ask for assurances. 

Will you destroy the city if you find 50 righteous people there? 

The Lord agrees that He will not. Abraham keeps asking though, lowering the number at which the Lord would willingly destroy righteous people to judge the wicked. 
45? 
40? 
30? 
20?

Finally, Abraham asks, with a request that the Lord not be angry, if He would spare the city for the sake of 10 righteous people. 

Once more, the Lord agrees that He would do so if He finds that many. With that, the Lord heads toward the city, and Abraham walks back home.

It is time to open our hearts, minds, and souls to the Word Of GOD.

Our scripture will be coming from:

Genesis 18:24-33 KJV 
[24] Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
[25] That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
[26] And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
[27] And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
[28] Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
[29] And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
[30] And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
[31] And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
[32] And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
[33] And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
