Lot's wife and daughters

We can learn something when we examine scripture about Lot's  wife.  In a previous post, I showed Lot was a righteous man and had reasons to do what he did.  Now we will explore a little about Lot's wife and the possible end times ramifications.

Yeshua said the time of the end will be as the time of Noah and the time of Lot.  I showed in a previous post this could also refer to globalism and rebellion against Yahweh although the main sign of those times was the vile wickedness.  With Lot being a righteous man and being vexed with the city he lived in (as so many True Believers are vexed of what is happening today) one reason he may have been in sodom was because of his wife and her love of the city.

Genesis 19
14  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.
15  And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16  And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17  And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18  And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: 19  Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20  Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21  And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22  Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23  The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24  Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25  And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26  But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Notice that Lot, his wife, and his daughters all escaped sodom and were safely in Zoar whe Lot's wife looked back. She was saved and then disobeyed and was judged.  Look at the warning Yeshua gives for the end times:

Luke 17
26  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32  Remember Lot's wife.

This passage is why I believe that their will be war and missile strikes immediately after the rapture.  The people are told when it happens to flea and not look back and are given the warning of Lot's wife.  It says that both Noah and Lot left and on the same day destruction happened.

In an earlier post on Righteous Lot, I showed how he was not to blame for his daughters "date raping" him after they believed they may be the only ones left alive.

Genesis 19
30  And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31  And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32  Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33  And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34  And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35  And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36  Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37  And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

The firstborn daughter bore a son to Lot and named him Moab who was the father of the Moabites.  What most people do not realize is that Ruth, King David's great grandmother, was from this line - she was a Moabite - and therefore Lot and his daughter are in the line of Messiah Yeshua. 

Ruth 1
1  Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2  And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
3  And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4  And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.

Ruth 4
13  So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
14  And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
15  And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
16  And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
17  And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

So interesting to study scripture and see what happened based on what choices the people of Ancient Israel made.
