Not my comment TR! Sorry, just been reading them, my only comment is that the event of Sodom & Gomorrah has multiple layers of learning. Not just the finality and surety of God’s wrath poured out then and at the second coming; but also the people individually involved and lessons learned, warnings given from Abraham to the aftermath that occurred between Lot and His two daughters and the future kingdoms that created. Psalms 83:6-8 “...the tents of Edom and the Ish'maelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 7 Gebal and Ammon and Am'alek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assyria also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. (Moab was the son of the oldest daughter and Ammon from the younger). This alliance in the Last Days is a union aimed at the destruction of Israel and it will not succeed but rather bring about the unification of the children of Abraham and the destruction of those who oppose the people of God. Fair use..... :prayer-hands: It says Lot was sitting at the Gateway of city of Sodom ... not sure if this means he was working as a gate keeper or was he just so vexed of what the civilization had become and he just preferred to sit there to avoid seeing the revelry in the streets, gay pride parades, etc. Perhaps his wife could of had the opposite attitude like a lot of unsaved today with accepting the homosexual lifestyle and saying they must be born that way? Or perhaps she just enjoyed living in the city for easy access to a variety of food, clothing, etc. or was it she was sad to leave most of her family behind? Looks like we have to wait for heaven to get all the answers ... My bad, forgive me Sis! TR Oh ... here is another scenario as to “why” Mrs. Lot probably turned her head ... in Genesis 13:1-12 it shows Lot was filthy rich just like Abraham with all their cattle, silver, gold, etc. So chances are they had a mansion inside of Sodom and Mrs. Lot resented leaving her comfortable place of easy living and was probably mad she couldn’t pack and take all of her treasures with her ... Genesis 13:1-12 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord. 5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. 9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 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. 11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. "... and pitched his tent toward Sodom." Imagine a 7,000 square foot tent with six bedrooms, four pot chambers, family room, master suite, maids' quarters, food prep, woolen gazebo out back with firepit, ... Like you said, it might be really hard to leave that, Geri. :yes: :whistle: :wacko: :scratch:
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
