Genesis 19:3 KJV [3] And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. [9] And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.3.KJV
Note 1
Did lot know who there were. I think 🤔 so.
Note 2
Is there any uniqueness to the bread being unleavened
I believe after such incessant pleading 🙏 for the angels to come under his roof, he was now under obligation to defend them with all he could.
Though offering his daughters to these beasts was very extreme, and why did they want these two ✌️ new men. Had they had enough of themselves? Were men already finished in the city 🏙? No but their brute lusts will not be satisfied.
Genesis 19:8 KJV [8] Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.8.KJV
Genesis 19:12 KJV [12] And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.12.KJV
These did not exhibit omniscience. Could it therefore mean they were mere angels who accompanied the LORD and not the Godhead in bodily form?
Genesis 19:14 KJV [14] And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.14.KJV
Lot believed the angels but his sons did not. How did he know they were divine beings
Genesis 19:16 KJV [16] And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.16.KJV
Why did they not just snap their fingers for them to appear in the mountains?
Spiritual things are not that way it seems. They physically carried them and dragged them literally. Im sure like Moses, as they left heaven they were given specific gifts and powers to use in case of any hindrance. Also just like the two men who could call down fire 🔥 and famine at the end of time, I guess the angels 😇 also had their limited abilities.
They could not do as they wished. Same with the spirit’s gifts… We don’t do as we wish but as given by the Spirit.
Genesis 19:17 KJV [17] And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.17.KJV
Again limits of the mission.. The plains. The mountain ⛰ was safe but not the plan.
Genesis 19:22 KJV [22] Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.22.KJV
So there were limits and briefings of the assignment the angels had.
Genesis 19:28 KJV [28] and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.28.KJV
A true intercessor, watching over the plain to see if the city 🏙 was saved or salvaged. He saw the smoke ascending. To receive such punishment shows the depth of wickedness. Men who would do such to visitors
Genesis 19:29 KJV [29] And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.29.KJVe was no law to restrain them
By this time Abraham’s faith in God was great, he God was showing him his supremacy above all gods. He God was the True God and monarch 👑 of the universe 🌌.
Destroying cities regardless of the feigned protection other gods had offered.
LOT though he had left Abraham was still benefiting from the father of Nations. Relationships are so crucial.
Genesis 19:30 KJV [30] And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.30.KJV
See so invariably he went to the mountains mount 🗻. Now lot 🧘♂️, once a very rich man was left with just his two daughters. What became of his massive wealth 🧐. All gone
Genesis 19:37 KJV [37] And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.19.37.KJV
Sad sad ending, who says there was no man in the earth 🌎 😔.They chose they wrong way out. So much depravity had they witnessed so this was easy for them to do.
The fact that both were of the same mind shows how the entire family 👪 was corrupted
