Usually a waste of time with you, hope you prove me wrong:
We know (I Hope) that the Lord tried to get Abraham to save S&G, but Satan was able to stop Abraham at 10 righteous people. If Abraham’s faith was stronger he would realize that he was speaking to his daddy and could have easily said 1 righteous person, or if there is none send me, and the city would have been saved. You can see the timidness of Abraham as he made the request to God.
On to Lot’s wife:
Lot’s wife did indeed risk her life disobeying a direct order from the angels.
But there is much more to this.
[QUOTE=Genesis 19:26]
But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
[/QUOTE]
In the OT when the Lord kills someone the Lord does not make them a piller, nor salt. They normally fall, or are swallowed up by the ground. The go down. But a pillar goes up.
The Lord used a pillar of fire to guide the Israelites through the desert, it was a beacon and those who followed were protected and delivered from Pharaoh’s army.
Simularally in the NT, Jesus said to His people I will make you a pillar in my temple.
Pillars are a good thing.
Salt, Jesus said of His people you are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Lot’s wife looked back in compassion, and was used by God to save the people of Sodom.
Lot who followed the instructions of the angels ended up living in a cave impregnating his 2 daughters forming 2 evil tribes. So Lot was not on the Lord’s path, and shouldn’t have listened to the angel in regards to looking back.
God judges the heart, and if your heart is right there is no sin in any action in His eyes. Lot’s wife acted with Love and God used her.
