So I have been researching mah bible.
I've been looking at little bits and bobs... and discovered a few quite interesting things.
1. Lot
Lot traveled to Sodom to live there with his family.
This is true, but it wasn't the first time he had been there...
Lot was kidnapped by the city of Sodom, and Abram had to gather together his 1000 servants as an army and threatened the men of Sodom to return him.
Interesting, eh? Well, Sodom returned him, but Lot then went to LIVE in Sodom... ???
So God decides to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, but Abraham says to him,
'But God... would you destroy Sodom if it had 50 righteous men inside?'
The point was... there were less than 6 righteous people inside... But he then told God he wanted to save Lot... so God agreed.
God sent two angels to warn Lot of the forthcoming danger. Lot agreed to leave, but that night the men of Sodom returned and asked Lot to give them the two men (angels)
Why? So they could get to know them 'carnally'.
... So they could sexually abuse them.
O.O
Lot said no, and they prepared to charge down the door, but the angels blinded them.
At this point, Lot knows it;s time to go, and warns his wife, 2 daughters and their husbands. (6 people)
of these 6... four left Sodom...
And even then, the angels warnings of 'don't look back' were not heeded by Lot's wife.
Three people left Sodom alive.
Lot and his daughters.
Very interesting...
