Vayera - Cataclysmic World Events

 



Why were the cities of Sodom and Amora being destroyed at the very same moment that Avraham and Sarah were about to miraculously conceive with Yitzchak, and also when the nations of Amon and Moav were founded? In the face of World changing cataclysmic events, why do some people fear their sins, and others fear in wait of their reward? What are the special characteristics of Avraham that made him worthy of being raised above the spiritual realms, and to be the 'king' of the world? How do these parallel the same traits that Chizkiyahu hamelech had and that we are enjoined to emulate as we enter the times of Moshiach?
