Abraham had a nephew named lot who lived with his family in the city of Sodom in Jordan
One day when Abraham was sitting outside his house he saw three people approaching
he immediately guessed that they were not normal humans and went out to meet them
two of the men were angels and the third was God himself
after Abraham greeted them God spoke to him
Abram the people of Sodom and the neighboring city of Gomorrah have become very evil
they are doing horrible things and do not respect me at all
I have decided but I will destroy these two cities
Abraham became very alarmed as he loved his nephew dearly and couldn't bear to think of him and his family being killed
oh lord have mercy I am sure there must be some good people living there also
you are fair and just, so how can you destroy the good people also for no fault of theirs
if there are even 50 good people there won't they be punished unjustly
if there are 50 good people there
I will not destroy the cities if fact there are even 20 good people there then too I will not do anything
I don't know how to convince God not to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah
I wouldn't be able to bear it if anything happened to my dear nephew and his family
God I know I should not be speaking to you like this
because I am just a human being and you are God please don't be angry with me for saying this
but if 10 people are also good in the two cities don't you think they should not be punished with the guilty
hmm...
we shall see!
but do you know of any 10 good people there?
God knew that Abraham was worried about his nephew Lot and his family
God also knew that Lot and his family were the only good people in both the cities
everyone else was on an evil path
God had already decided that he would not let any harm come to Lot and his family
so the next day he sent two angels disguised as men to meet Lot
Lot was at the city gates when he saw the two angels disguised as men
he went up to the strangers and greeted them warmly
Welcome, welcome, I am so happy to meet you
please do come to my house it will be my privilege to serve you
the two men accompanied Lot to his house
a meal was prepared for them and along with his wife and daughters lot fed them with love and respect
the guests were preparing to rest after their meal when there was a big commotion outside Lot's house
when Lot looked out a huge crowd had gathered there
what do you want? why are you making so much noise?
who are the two men who have come to your house?
They are my guests, why are you interested in them?
bring them out and let us deal with them
no no please do not do this they are my guests and will leave soon
bring them out or we shall come in and take them
please I beg of you if you want you can even take my daughter's
Lot knew that if he turned those men to the crown
they would definitely treat them very badly he turned and quickly locked his door
so that the crowd would not be able to enter his house however he was very scared
because he knew that the crowd could very easily break down the door
Lot, just come inside and relax you have done all that you could do
saying this the Angels pulled Lot inside open the door and before anybody could understand what was happening
the Angels had blinded all the men outside
now you need not fear the mob, Lot!
as they are all blind and will not even be able to see the door to break it
go and gather all your family members and prepare to leave
as we have been sent by God to destroy both Sodom and Gomorrah
and hurry up there is not much time left
once again we are telling you
if you have any other members of your family whom you wish to save
now is the time, go quickly and warn them
Lot's daughters were married to some young men staying in the city he rushed to their houses to tell them to leave
as the cities were going to be destroyed soon however his son's in law refused to believe him
and just made fun of him hahaha listen to what our dear father-in-law has to say
our city is going to be destroyed ha ha ha
lot went back home he was very sad he couldn't believe that God was actually going to destroy his home and town
as well as the neighbouring town however he and his family were too scared to question the Angels
and started gathering a few things to take along with them before making their escape
as dawn broke the next morning the Angels again told lot to hurry up and prepare to leave
but Lot was still hesitant it broke his heart to leave behind his home in City
as well as his daughters the Angels then decided that they could not wait any longer and spoke sternly to Lot
look Lot you are a good man which is why I've been sent to take you away from here
safely before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah if you do not hurry now even you will be destroyed
also, we have to warn you all when we are leaving none of you should look back
as Lot looked around at his house the Angels quickly held his wife and daughters by their arms and led them towards the door
Lot will you hurry up now we don't have much time please try and understand
finally, Lot also followed the Angels and his family looking back sadly at his home that he would leave forever
the Angels quickly led them to the outskirts of the city
now quick run to the hills there and save your lives
and once again remember what we told you do not look back
oh please have mercy on me I will not be able to climb up the hill
please let us go to that City over there it is only a small city please spare it
all right Lot we shall not destroy that city for your sake but now hurry and escape
as soon as you reach that city safely Sodom and Gomorrah will be destroyed
you are warned once again not to look back no matter what happens
Lot along with his wife and daughters hurried away as fast as they could
as the Sun started rising there was a massive storm of burning hot sulphur
that rained down on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
the people of the two cities could not understand what was happening
they were very scared and ran here and there not knowing what to do
they screamed in pain when the hot sulfur fell on them very soon everyone in the two cities was dead
there were bodies lying scattered all around and houses were completely destroyed
the lot and his family were quite far away by then
his wife did what the Angels had told them not to do
she turned around to catch a last glimpse of the city
as soon as she did that she turned into a pillar of salt
Lot and his daughters couldn't believe what they were seeing
No oh No what has happened to my wife?
she disobeyed God
we were all warned several times not to turn and look back but she did not obey
so this is the fate she just met oh please please can she not be forgiven just once
no not nothing can be done now please take your daughters and go
feeling sad and miserable Lot and his daughters continued ahead
leaving behind the salt pillar that was once Lot's beloved wife
