GENESIS 19

THE CITIES OF SODOM + GOMORRAH DESTROYED  

God’s messenger angels go to visit Sodom and Gomorrah to scope out the wickedness in the city. They reside with Lot, Abraham’s nephew, who lives near the evildoers. 

Men from all over the city demand to have sexual relations with the messenger angels, which is appalling to them. Lot offers up his virgin daughters to the men so that they will not defile God’s messengers, but this offer does not honor God either. 

God’s messengers tell Lot that they plan to destroy Sodom and warn Lot to leave. Lot is not in a hurry, so the angels urge him to leave and eventually throw him out of the city, telling him to run for his life and not look back. Then God destroys everything and everyone within the city. On the way out of the city, Lot’s wife looks back and turns into a pillar of salt.  

After leaving the city, Lot’s daughters fear there are no men left, so they get their father drunk, sleep with him, and both become pregnant. Yikes!
