As the title says,
Who is this Lot?
From what he was saved?
Who saved him?
Why he was saved?
Why was he called righteous man?
Let's dive into Lot😌
In Hebrew meaning of Lot is Covering; Veil
He is the grandson of Terah who is the 9th generation of Shem
Haran is the father of the Lot
And this Haran is the brother of Abraham who is Father of Faith
(Genesis 11:27)
Lot was born in the place of 'UR' where his father was dead
Terah took Lot and Abraham from the place of UR and headed to CANAAN but when they came to Harran they settled there
Terah was dead there
(Genesis 11:28-32)
When God told Abraham to move to Canaan the promised land, Abraham headed to Canaan along with Lot
(Genesis 12:1-5)
Let's quickly check few verses
Genesis 13:5
Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents
Genesis 13:6
But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together
Genesis 13:7
And quarrelling arose between Abram's herders and Lot's.
Seeing this, Abram told Lot
Genesis 13:8
Let's not have any quarrelling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives
Abraham is telling that there shouldn't be any quarrels between family
So he told Lot, let not herders quarrels come between us so let's stay apart and live as relatives
When Lot was asked to chose where he wants to live he looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord
So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east
(Genesis 13:9-12)
When God visited Abraham's tent about this we already have a blog and video kindly check them to have a better understanding
God told Abraham,
Genesis 18:20-22
The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin is so grievous, that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know
Abraham asked if there are 50 righteous people will you save that place? God told he will save, like that he started asking excuses till they reached 10 people and God told HE will save if there are 10 righteous people
(Genesis 18:23-33)
Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city of Sodom
He saw two angels, meet them and bowed down and served them
(Genesis 19:1-3)
The people of Sodom are filled with sin. There were homosexuals that they came to break down the doors of Lot's house, even though Lot was begging them not to
Then the angels pulled Lot inside the house and closed the doors. Now every man from young to old they became blind that they could not find the door
(Genesis 19:4-11)
Now angels are telling Lot,
Genesis 19:13
We are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it
When Lot called his sons-in-law, they made fun of him
Genesis 19:15
With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished."
Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of the heavens, God destroyed all those living in the cities and also the vegetation in the land
As the,
2 Peter 2:7 says
And if he rescued Lot, a righteous man
God promised Abraham HE will save righteous persons, so God rescued Lot
So if you are righteous God will save you too
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL
AMEN!!!
