1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: And there came two angels to Sodom. At Even and 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Lot sat in the gate of Sodom, and Lot, seeing them, 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: his face toward the ground Genesis nineteen one. My Lord, 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: thank you for constantly showing me grace when I am 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: surrounded and tempted with the pleasures of this world. Thank 7 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: you for protecting me from myself and from foolish decisions 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: I've made when I wasn't thinking in alignment with your word. 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: Help me to move with critical obedience when you give 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: a command, I will no longer hesitate when I know 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: the direction you're calling me to go. I will no 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: longer look back at my past longing for the things 13 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: that move me off the path of my destiny. Thank you, Lord, 14 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: that when you close one season of my life, like 15 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: Lot and his family, you will provide a safe space 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: for me and my loved ones to dwell in. I 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: thank you for your protection, your justice, and your mercy 18 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: towards me. I can move in full confidence knowing that 19 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: You've placed your angels like a fence around my life. 20 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: I am protected because I am Yours in Jesus name, Amen, 21 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: listening to these daily prayers strengthens your relationship with God. 22 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: Continue hearing from the Lord by listening to today's Bible 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: in a Year, brought to you by Bible in a 24 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: Year dot com. Sodom and Gomorrah. Before this story, we 25 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: learned about how God visited Abraham and they talked about 26 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. God alluded to Abraham 27 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: his plans to destroy the city for its wickedness. Abraham 28 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: asked again and again about God's mercy if there are 29 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: any righteous left in the city. God promised he would 30 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if there were any righteous 31 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: still living in the city. Now we will learn about 32 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: how God will bring justice to the cities of Sodom 33 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: and Gomorrah. Inspired by the Book of Genesis. Hello, I'm 34 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the Bible in 35 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: a Year podcast. Last time, we heard about God's visit 36 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: to Abraham and how Abraham pleaded for Sodom and Gomorrah 37 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: to be spared from destruction. The evil in these cities 38 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: has simply gone way, way too far, and God is 39 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: going to bring judgment upon them, destroying them completely and 40 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: all within the cities, but Abraham intervened, and God agreed 41 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: to relent if just ten righteous people could be found 42 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: in those places. Today we picked back up as two 43 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: angels who were with God arrive in Sodom, the place 44 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: where Abraham's nephew Lot was still living. They're going to 45 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: try to find righteous men who could spare the cities 46 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: from annihilation. Notice, his Lot greets them, knowing as Abraham 47 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: knew that these visitors were not of this world. Listen 48 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: as he pleads with them, knowing that they are not 49 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: safe in a very wicked town. So just think about 50 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: what this recognition of the evil around him signals about 51 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Lots unwillingness to distance himself from corruptive influences, terrible, awful, 52 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: wicked influence upon his life and family. Is this the 53 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: kind of leader his family needs? Finally, as you hear 54 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: this passage and the things the townspeople do to these angels, 55 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: imagine how much this grieved God's heart to see the 56 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: depth of depravity in the hearts of those he created 57 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: in his own image, now defiled by sin. You will 58 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: surely see that God's righteous anger against Sodom and Gomorrah 59 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: was more than warranted. But consider also that our hearts 60 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: are not so different and prone to sin and evil, 61 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: and this also grieves the heart of the Father. Soberly, 62 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: let us here today's passage. Lot, Abraham's nephew, was still 63 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: living in the city of Sodom with his family. He 64 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: was sitting outside of Sodom in the gateway when two 65 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: angels arrived. Lot walked up to them, bowed down with 66 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: his face to the ground. He said to them, come 67 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: with me where you can wash your feet, spend the night, 68 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: and leave in the morning. For Lot knew that the 69 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: two angels would not be safe in the city at night. 70 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: The angels responded, saying, we will stay the night in 71 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: the square. Lot insisted, so they went with him to 72 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: his home. Lot prepared a meal for them by baking 73 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: bread without yeast, and they ate. Darkness began to fall 74 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: over the city, and the shroud of night provided a 75 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: covering for the wicked men of the city to emerge. 76 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: Every man from the city of all ages surrounded Lot's house. 77 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: This horde of Sodom knocked on Lot's door, demanding that 78 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: he delivered the angels into their hands, bring them out 79 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: here so that we might have our way with them, 80 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: for they desired to take turns with them, brutalizing and 81 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: raping them. Lot came outside instead, frantic and not in 82 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: his right mind, he said, please, brothers, do not take 83 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: them from my house. They are righteous guests and are 84 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: protected under my roof. Here I have two virgin daughters. 85 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: I will give them to you, and you can do 86 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 1: whatever you want to them. Just do not take these 87 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: men in my house. There Lot stood, feeling as if 88 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: he had no choice but to sell out his own daughters. 89 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: Growing louder and more impatient, the men outside yelled towards Lot, 90 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: get back. You are a sojourner here in our land, 91 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: and now you want to judge us, Move or we 92 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: will do worse things to you than we will to 93 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: your guests. The men came closer to Lot, ready to 94 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: break down the doors. Then from behind Lot, the two 95 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: angels grabbed him and drew him back into the house, 96 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: closing the door behind them. The two angels stood before 97 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: Lot and looked outward and struck the men outside with blindness. However, 98 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: it did not stop the men from trying to get inside. 99 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: Disoriented and blinded, the men eventually wore themselves out, groping 100 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: for the door. The angels said to Lot, do you 101 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: have any other family members here in the city. If so, 102 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: flee with them, for we are going to destroy this city. 103 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: The Lord has sent us because of the outcries against it. 104 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: So Lot went to go warn his family, including the 105 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: men supposed to marry his daughters. Flailing and frantic, the 106 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: son and laws thought he was joking, so they did 107 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: not listen and went to bed. Morning came and the 108 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: angels came again to Lot, yelling, take your wife and 109 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: your daughters and flee the city. You will be destroyed 110 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: if you linger any longer. But Lot did linger, indecisive 111 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: and afraid, and was unable to help himself or his family. 112 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: He was cowardly to offer up his daughters, and now 113 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: he stood equally a coward for not saving them. Yet 114 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: God was still merciful to them and promised he would 115 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: not destroy the city unless all the righteous were gone. 116 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: So the angels seized him and his wife and his 117 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: two daughters by the hand, and they brought him out 118 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: set him outside the city. They commanded again, escape for 119 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in 120 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: the valley. Escape to the hills lest you be destroyed. 121 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: With the city. Lot responded to them and said, please 122 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 1: do me another great kindness. Spare the neighboring town Zoar, 123 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: so we can settle there. The angel said to him again, 124 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: I will do as you ask. Now, flee, judgment is coming. 125 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: When Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen, and the 126 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: Lord caused fire, ash, and sulfur to fall on Sodom 127 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: and Gomorrah. In the distance, Lot and his family could 128 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: hear the cries of those in the city. The city 129 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: of Sodom, a nest of rape, murder, and wickedness, fell 130 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: under the fist of the almighty. Lot's wife, longing for 131 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: the city of wickedness, again, looked back. Despite the angel's warning. There, 132 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: Lot's wife turned to a pillar of salt and died, 133 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: eventually crumbling beneath the ash and fire. Early the next morning, 134 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: Abraham went to the place where he had stood before 135 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: the Lord. He looked down towards Sodom and Gomorrah and 136 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: toward the valley. Behold, the smoke of the land went 137 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: up like a furnace. Lot's story would not end here, 138 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: yet he would rise to repentance like his uncle Abraham. No, 139 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: Lot's story does not end with him as the hero. 140 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: Yet God continues to be faithful, and God is the 141 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: ultimate hero, just as Abraham did. When he saw the 142 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: travelers approaching his tent. Lot saw the two angels coming 143 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: and went out to meet them, bowing down to show 144 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: reverence an honor to them. But that is where the 145 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: similarities in between Abraham and Lot. He didn't prepare a 146 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: feast for these men. He fed them just some unleavened brea, 147 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: but no fatted calf, no milk, no kurds. They didn't 148 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: sit in the shade of a tree enjoying fellowship with 149 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: each other. Lot's first instinct, rather borne out of his 150 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: knowledge of this place in which he had remained with 151 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: his family compromise, was to hide these divine beings. But 152 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: the angels were not there to be safe or to hide. 153 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: They were there to see just how evil this city 154 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: had become. And remember, according to the scriptures, angels are 155 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: holy being. Of course, God did not need firsthand evidence 156 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: or for scouts angels scouts to find righteous men. He 157 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: knows all, He sees the instincts and the sins of 158 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: every heart. But he had an agreement with Abraham, so 159 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: the angels were there to witness the evil they were, 160 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: in effect on a mission of espionage. Lot knew very 161 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: well that he was in an evil place, So why 162 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: didn't he leave? Why didn't he pick up his family 163 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: and get out of this place? Or maybe we should 164 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: ask ourselves, why don't we flye an evil situation when 165 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: we have the chance? What's the problem here? Why did 166 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: he stay? Was it for comfort? Was it wealth? Was 167 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: it familiarity? No. Lot had given up protecting his family 168 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: a long time ago, it seems, but he was intent 169 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: on protecting these visitors, even to the point of sacrificing 170 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: his own daughter's virgins to the wicked, wretched men who 171 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: were trying to rape and abuse the angelic beings. We 172 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: see that even this is not a deterrent for the 173 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: men of Sodom. Their desires are so depraved, gone from 174 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: what God created them to be, that they reject Lots offer. 175 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: This is a shocking, stunning display the nature of sin 176 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: gone completely out of control, unrestrained. They do not know 177 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: it yet, but this is going to have devastating consequences 178 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: for their city. Not only could God not find ten 179 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: righteous man, he could barely find one, the least evil 180 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: man in the town was Lot, who had offered his 181 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: flesh and blood to be brutalized by these wicked men. 182 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: Lot is severely compromised at every level. Somehow this was 183 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: enough to save Lot, because the angels tell him to 184 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: gather his family and lead, never looking back. Did you 185 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: catch what is happening here? The towns were going to 186 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: be destroyed completely. God's justice would be served because of 187 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: the great evil in the area. Lot should have wanted 188 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: to flee, to get as far away as possible, as 189 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: soon as possible. He was told to flee to the mountains. 190 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: But what did he do? Genesis nineteen, verses eighteen and 191 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: nineteen gives us the response. But Lot said to them, oh, 192 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: my lords, now behold, your servant has found favor in 193 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which 194 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: you have shown to me by saving my life. But 195 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: I cannot escape to the mountain, for the disaster will 196 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 1: overtake me and I will die. Failing to trust to 197 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: deliver him through his escape, he asked them to spare 198 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: the nearest town of Zoar so he could settle there. 199 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: When we fleet from sin, when we run away from 200 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: wickedness and evil, we must get away as far as possible, 201 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: as soon as possible. But how often do we keep 202 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: sin close, cherishing it even in our hearts. They agree 203 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: to let him go there, so Lot takes his family 204 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: and they go to Zoar. They've been warned not to 205 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: look back on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. But 206 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: Lot's wife is so seduced by the city where sin 207 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: abounded that she had to take one last was it 208 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: a longing look? It was her last act, and she 209 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: turned into a pillar of salt, crumbling into oblivion, just 210 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: as the city she had fled. When God gives you 211 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: an escape, a chance to sever your ties with sin, 212 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: to break away, don't look back, don't go there again, 213 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: for the old life of sin will paralyze you, and 214 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: Satan himself will destroy you. The judgment of God will 215 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: fall upon you. Heavenly Father, thank you for rescuing us 216 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: from our sin.

Thank you for your son Jesus, 219 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: who took the penalty of our sin and wickedness upon 220 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: his own life at the cross, so that we could 221 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: have a brand new life in the power of the Resurrection.
