"Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed: Genesis 19"

"Genesis 19: Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed" recounts the dramatic events surrounding the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah due to their wickedness. The chapter begins with the arrival of two angels in Sodom, who are hosted by Lot, Abraham's nephew. However, the men of Sodom demand that Lot hand over the angels so they can abuse them. Lot refuses and offers his daughters instead, but the angels intervene to protect Lot and strike the men of Sodom with blindness.

The angels then urge Lot and his family to flee the city before its imminent destruction. Lot hesitates, but the angels insist, and they are led out of the city to safety. As they flee, Lot's wife disobeys the command not to look back and is turned into a pillar of salt.

God rains fire and brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah, utterly destroying them and the surrounding cities. Only Lot and his two daughters survive. This chapter serves as a warning about the consequences of sin and disobedience, as well as the importance of obedience and faithfulness to God.
