God's Judgment

Lot stood outside his house and pled with the men of Sodom. He would not turn over his guests to them. He even offered them his virgin daughters rather than have them sin against his visitors. They accused him of acting as their judge, which may be what he did in the gate of the city. The crowd pushed Lot back to the door and started to break it down.

Habakkuk describes God by writing, "You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, And cannot look on wickedness" (1:13). It should not surprise us then that the angels would open the door, pull Lot inside and strike the men outside blind (Genesis 19:6-11). Yet, they were so sinful they kept groping for the door!
