    Annotated Gen.ch.19

    v.1 "And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;"

    Firstly the two angels arrived at even.. Lot immediately recognizes them but as we see the events determined to resolve the divine Will outpace the ability of man to control them in his favour. "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."(Pro.29.1_ Lot saw God's holiness through the eyes of Abraham. So his second-hand knowledge fails here. The Spirit admonishes us, "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:"(Isa.55.6-7)

    v.9 "This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them"

    Here we have culture war. Pursuit of happiness in such a climate as the denizens of Sodom breathed and pursued at break-neck speed did indeed blind them.This one fellow vs us is not the trope we coined.The devil sins from the beginning so God let the men of Sodom wallow in their own filth so Epstein files, would have all the movers and shakers except Lot therein. Before they could do violence they were struck blind literally. There would be no remedy for them. The fallacy of moral equivalence as put forth in social context is a devil's tool and Sodom had no way escaping the damnation. If one sees the light and would make amends for it, an epithet 'woke culture' is devil's bandaid to treat a terminal cancer patient. We are seeing it, very Sodom coming to life as a dormant volcano.

    inv.8 Lot calls his daughters 'virgins' in restricted sense as with the 144,000 on mount Sion.

    Household of Lot counted less than ten heads. "And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law."
