Sodom and Gomorrah are Destroyed

We might be shocked at what the men of Sodom wanted to do and what Lot suggested doing and even what God is prepared to do. But we should take this passage as a warning and example of what God will do when he ultimately destroys the wicked. There are different ways of responding - like Lot's sons-in-law, who saw judgement as a joke, or like Lot, who hesitated when urged to escape, or like Lot's wife, who looks back. We have a chance to repent and escape judgment, but that this opportunity will end.
