In the ancient city of Sodom, wickedness and sin ran rampant. God decided to destroy the city but first sent two angels to warn Lot, a righteous man living there. Lot, though troubled by the city’s corruption, had a heart that sought justice. When the angels arrived, they urged Lot to flee with his family, warning him not to look back. Lot gathered his wife and daughters, and they hurried out of the city as it was consumed by fire and brimstone.
As they fled, Lot’s wife, overcome by curiosity and attachment to her home, looked back. In that moment, she was turned into a pillar of salt. This tragic event serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of faith and obedience to God’s commands. Lot’s escape and the fate of his wife are a poignant story of judgment, mercy, and the thin line between salvation and destruction.
