THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH
A. The two angels come to Sodom.
1. (Genesis 19:1-3) Lot convinces the angelic visitors to stay with him.
2. (Genesis 19:4-5) The wickedness and depravity of the men of Sodom.
3. (Genesis 19:6-9) Lot bargains for the life and safety of his guests.
4. (Genesis 19:10-11) Angelic protection at the door.
B. The angels’ deliverance of Lot.
1. (Genesis 19:12-14) The angels warn Lot; Lot warns his family.
[Gen 19:15 ESV] 15 As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city."
2. (Genesis 19:15-16) The angels try to hurry Lot and his family.
[Gen 19:16 ESV] 16 But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.
3. (Genesis 19:17-22) The escape from Sodom.
C. God’s judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah.
1. (Genesis 19:23-26) The cities destroyed, and Lot’s wife is turned to a pillar of salt.
[Gen 19:26 ESV] 26 But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
2. (Genesis 19:27-29) Abraham learns of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction.
[Gen 19:29 ESV] 29 So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.
