Genesis 19:12-38

Lot and His Family

Any doubt one has about God keeping wicked under his protective care is removed by this story. The angels delivered Lot, his wife and their two daughters safely from the city before its destruction. Unfortunately, Lot's wife ignored the angels' instruction. She was turned to a pillar of salt for looking back (Genesis 19:12-29; 2 Peter 3:6-9).

Lot's daughters also involved him in sin. They got him drunk on two consecutive nights and lay down with him. Both conceived a child by their father. Perhaps the evil which had surrounded them had influenced his daughters to think of such a plan (19:30-38).
