How many people died in Sodom and Gomorrah?
The Bible does not say how many people lived in Sodom, but suggests it was a sizable city. We can only rely on the Bible story because there is no historical or archaeological evidence for the existence of Sodom.
Ur of the chaldees is the same as sodom and gomorrah?
Gen:11:31: And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. Gen:13:10: And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Ur of the Chaldees was a city outside of Canaan where Abraham once lived with his family. Sodom and Gomorrah were cities inside of Canaan near to where Abraham lived.The cities were similar in that they were wicked, but that's about it.
Where did lot and his wife live?
He lived in his birthplace first, in Ur of the Chadees, then as a nomad in tents with Abraham, and after he separated from Abraham, he lived in Sodom; but after the Lord destroyed it, he lived in the mountains near Zoar, where the Biblical record of him ceases.

What do Sodom and Gomorrah represent?
it represents a city of abomination which God highly hates. The city was destroyed for its sexual lewdness notably (homosexuality). The people that lived there were referred to as "sodomites". If you define the word "sodomy"- it is defined as anal or oral copulation with a member of the same or opposite sex; also: copulation with an animal. In the bible God say" If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination shall be put to death. That city was put to death and completely remove from the earth. There are speculations that Sodom and Gomorah is buried in the "Dead Sea".Answer:Sodom and Gomorrah represent: "...an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly..." (II Peter 2:6 NIV)."...They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of Eternal Fire." (Jude 1:7 NIV)

What happened to Lot after Sodom and Gomorrah?
Though archaeologists doubt the existence of these cities, according to the Bible they were very real (Jude 7, Matthew 10:15; 11:21-24, Romans 9:27-29, Jeremiah 50:40) and situated along the SE boundary of Canaan (Genesis 10:19; 13:12) located at the Low Plain of Siddim. (Genesis 14:2, 3). Many people believe that the original sites now lie submerged beneath the waters of the Dead Sea, while others feel that the ruins of the cities may be among the wadis to the East and SouthEast of the Dead Sea.-Genesis 13:12;The cities were not rebuilt. They remain in ruins and the cities abandoned to this day. Their present day names are Bab edh-Dhra (Sodom), and Numeira, (Gomorrah).ANOTHER ANSWER:Moses' inspired and recorded account of what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah "became an example" for the world's societies today."Moses was with the assembly of God's people in the wilderness. He was the mediator between the people of Israel and the angel who GAVE HIM Life-Giving Words on Mount Sinai TO PASS ON TO US." (Acts 7:38 NLT New Living Translation)"...Noah [and Enoch - see Jude 1:14-15] warned the world of God's Righteous Judgment. Then God destroyed the whole world of ungodly people with a vast flood. Later, He turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into heaps of ashes and swept them off the face of the earth. He MADE THEM AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO UNGODLY PEOPLE. But at the same time, God rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a good man who was sick of all the immorality and wickedness around him. Yes, he was a Righteous man who was distressed by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day." (II Peter 2:5-8 NLT)Sodom and Gomorrah are an "example" for our society to know and understand that all of our actions, works, thoughts and deeds shall come under the Judgment of our Creator.They are an example for those who "believe it NOW" and conduct themselves accordingly. And it will be the shock of a lifetime to the rest… the vast majority of mankind, living and dead… then, resurrected from their graves - to have the LORD "open the books of the Bible" [Rev.20:12] in front of them on Judgment day, to measure their deeds and show them the Scriptures cited above, and more.Then the Truth of God's Word will be made known to all people: "…and the Egyptians [and every nation] shall know the LORD in that Day…" (Isa.19:21).And there will be no more unbelievers in the world.So Noah and Enoch warned their generations of God's coming Judgment… and few believed them; until the flood took them out.And Jesus reveals that in the last days of God's plan [at the time of the end], the world would regress back to Noah's day in wickedness, ungodliness… and the Sodom and Gomorrah mentality [Matt.24:37]. You know… like the way the world is today.And, sure enough… not that many folks today believe. Yet, Sodom and Gomorrah's example remains extant for any who choose to believe, to avoid a certain "future shock" on the Day of Judgment. The same Judgment Noah and Enoch warned people about."If a village doesn't welcome you or listen to you, shake off the dust of that place from your feet as you leave. I assure you, the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be BETTER OFF on the Judgment Day than that place will be." (Matt.10:14-15 NLT)"And you people of Capernaum [and New York, and Paris, and London…], will you be exalted in heaven? No, you will be brought down to the place of the dead. For if the miracles I did for you had been done in Sodom, it would still be here today. I assure you, Sodom will be better off on the Judgment Day than you." (Matt.11:23-24 NLT)Jesus believed Sodom and Gomorrah existed. And He will make sure everyone who has ever lived and died will, too. In the Judgment.

Which prophet pleaded for the people so that God would not destroy them?
Abraham. Abraham knew that God had slated Sodom and Gomorrah for destruction because of how great their sin was, but he knew that in the city lived his nephew Lot and his family. So, after the pleading, it came down to the fact that only Lot and his family were worthy of saving and the rest of the people in those cities were destroyed. This is discussed in the Bible book of Genesis.
Were the people of Sodom and Gomorrah Canaanites?
Sodom and Gommorrah are cities that appear to be placed in the desert on the eastern side of the Jordan River. If the cities really existed, their inhabitants would not have been Canaanites, as the Canaanites lived on the rich coastal area of Palestine.Genesis 13:10-12: "And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. "Details available regarding the nationality of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah indicates they were indeed Canaanites:Genesis 10:19-2019And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.Further, in relation to the Bible record it is worth noting that the land which the Israeilites were to inherit was referred to in terms of the major Canaanite tribes which inhabited it:Exodus 3:1717And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.It needs to be understood that it is likely that the entire land known as Canaan was inhabited by one Canaanite tribe or another. Canaan, the son of Ham, son of Noah, is recorded as having eleven sons and an unknown number of daughters. All of the particular tribes or nations mentioned above were Canaanites. So, even though it is certainly true that there is a reference to the fact that 'the Canaanites' dwelt in the plain (a reference to the coastal plain) it is also true that the tribes who had a different name were themselves also Canaanites.The verses below give the details of the different Canaanite tribes descended from Canaan, son of Ham:Genesis 10:15-1815And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,16And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,17And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,18And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.What appears likely therefore, in the light of the clear statement from Genesis 10:19-20 was that Sodom and Gomorrah, together with the other 'cities of the plain' were part of the easternmost extent of the Canaanite territory at that time in history.It is also relevant to note that the location of a particular group of people outside of the actual 'land of Canaan' bounded by the Jordan River in the East and the Mediterranean Sea in the West, has no relevance whatsoever to the ethnicity of the people here discussed. The term "Canaanite" in Biblical usage, refers not to 'people who dwelt in Canaan' but to people who were descendants of the man Canaan, as mentioned above. Otherwise, the Israelites, would themselves have been Canaanites once they entered the land, a proposition which is indeed absurd. Thus references to where Abram and where Lot dwelt and the location of Sodom and Gomorrah have no bearing whatsoever on the ethnicity of the persons contained in those cities. Similarly, many people who dwell in Quebec are of French extraction ethnically, even though they live in Canada, in mainland North America. Their location thus does not determine their ethnicity either.
