Many people make judgments against those in the bible because they do not understand how "those people" could have done "that sin" yet many people do the very same sin- and worse! People are often blinded to their own sins and yet judge others that commit the same sin. This is hypocritical judgment that Messiah Yeshua spoke against in Matthew 7
Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
To many, the first sin when Eve ate the forbidden fruit (likely a pomegranate) and Adam also ate it seems like a sin that nobody else would commit yet many of the same people commit the very same sin. There seemed nothing remarkable about the fruit except that it appeared good to eat. Eve believed the lie by satan that it would make her like God so she ate it and gave it to her husband who also ate it. Yahweh has told us to not eat pork or shellfish yet most "christians" make excuses to eat it and rationalize away Yahweh's instructions to NOT eat it even though He is quite clear it is an ABOMINATION to Him to do so.
Leviticus 11:7 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
Isaiah 65
1 I gave access to them that asked not for Me, I was at hand to them that sought Me not; I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me', unto a nation that was not called by My name.
2 I have spread out My hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoke Me to My face continually, that sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense upon bricks;
4 That sit among the graves, and lodge in the vaults; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 That say: 'Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou'; these are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Many people do not understand how Abraham and Sarah did not wait and trust Yahweh to give them a son and took it into their own hands and had Abraham sleep with the servant Hagar resulting in Ishmael. Yet the very same people who do not understand how Abraham and Sarah could "do such a thing" are promoting a presidential candidate who does not follow Yahweh and teaching that "you have to hold your nose and vote for the lessor evil" instead of PRAYING and asking Yahweh to put a president in place that would do His will and to have mercy on us. They believe they are "helping God along" by voting for the "lessor evil". How do they KNOW Trump would be less evil than Hillary? Trump has made some very disconcerting remarks that should have raised a red flag. What if Yahweh's plan was to have Hillary in office and give her a Damascus road experience? What if Trump will bring severe judgment on the United States? I do not vote because I choose to not vote for a "lessor evil". I do not support Hillary with the hope she may change (likely she won't) and I will not support Trump because he looks too much like hitler's rise to power when hitler promised to "make Germany great again". I choose to let Yahweh put His person in power and I pray for whoever that may be. I also pray for Yahweh's mercy on us. It is my belief, this is what Yahweh would have us do - TRUST HIM and let Him move others to put into power His choice. (Read about Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael in Genesis 16 - 17)
Many FALSELY claim that Lot was compromising because he lived in sodom. I have heard so many popular "teachers" twist the bible and make lot seem like a compromising backslider (one popular "pastor" actually calls Lot that) Yet how many of those that judge Lot for living in sodom live in San Francisco, Seattle (that has a sodomite mayor), Orlando, Tel Aviv, or any other high sodomite populations? Are the people that live in those cities all backsliders and compromisers because that is where they live? Or are they vexed and upset with it like Righteous Lot?
2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
I often hear of those who do not understand how Ancient Israel complained about the manna Yahweh provided for them for the forty years they wandered in the wilderness. I have heard so many "pastors" ridicule them over this. My question is how many people could go just one week eating the same thing without wishing they had something else to eat? I know I find it hard eating the leftovers for two nights. It was great the first night although by the third night, I'm glad to be finishing it up and making something new to eat the next night. Try eating the same thing for a week and you can empathize a little with Ancient Israel. It is one thing to wish you had something different and being grateful and another thing to gripe and complain and wish you were back in the slavery Yahweh had just rescued you from!
Do not judge those you read about in the bible without having experienced what they had gone through because you just may find out you are judging them hypocritically. It really upsets me when "pastors" who should know better malign those in the bible and do not empathize with what those people had gone through. Abraham was given the promise of a son but not Sarah - they likely assumed Sarah was not included in the promise and did what was common in that day - the slave was a surrogate for the wife. If Sarah had thought that she was part of the promise, they may have possibly done things different. Anyone who lives in a city that is not obeying Yahweh can be accused of compromising and backsliding according to some "pastors" even though the bible is clear Lot was righteous and was vexed on a daily basis with his city.

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.

Days of Noah and Days of Lot - wickedness AND GLOBALISM!
Years From Creation :
(all years / ages from the book of Genesis)
Jared 460-1422
Noah: 1056 - 2006
Shem 1556-2158
FLOOD: 1656
Arpachshad 1658-2096
Shelah 1693-2126
Eber 1723-2187
Peleg 1757-1996
Terah 1878-2083
Abraham:1948-2123
First a little history information. The tower of babel occurred after the flood and before Abraham's birth. Some claim it happened in 2,200BC which works out to be 1744 since creation. I do not see is accurate due to the bible mentioning the time of division of the nations / languages occurred during the time of Peleg who was born in 1757 after creation. We cannot know for sure the dates BC that many events occurred although we CAN know for sure the year from Creation that many of the same events occurred.
Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4 And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
Peleg and all of his ancestors from Noah to his father Eber were not only alive during the tower of babel, they were all alive when Abraham and Lot were born. It is interesting that the wickedness that led up to the tower of babel happened 100 - 292 years after the flood. The tower of babel mirrors the timeline of the wickedness that led up to the flood. From commentaries, it is said that the angels that fell and took wives (creating the nephillim) happened in the days of Jared and other writings say 200 years before the flood. The tower of babel pretty much mirrors of what happened before the flood including the same timeline and the cities of sodom and gomorah, about 500 miles away, existed at the same time the tower of babel was built and they were filled with wickedness and homosexuality.
IF the tower of babel happened closer to the time of Abraham and Lot, it would be most interesting in that Yeshua said that the end times would be as in the days of Noah and the Days of Lot. YES this means wickedness including homosexuality, genetic manipulation and such but it also could mean the globalism nature and people working together for "the greater good" and trying to be like God by transhumanism, cyborgs, and other technologies that is being used to try and gain immortality.
I'm thinking that when Abraham was told to move from Chaldea, it may have been part of the spreading out in the aftermath of babel so that may be one indication the tower of babel may have been closer to Abraham (and Lot's) birth than to the flood. Also there would have had to have been enough time to build the population up for them to get together to build the tower. Even though I believe they may have had electricity, automobiles of some sort, and other technology before the flood, they would not have had it after the flood or at least not enough to have rebuilt it by then. Most who were involved in the globalism / rebellion of the tower were likely still alive in Abraham and Lot's day (as were all their ancestors from Noah on) and they still had the globalist view - they just could not work together because Yahweh gave them different languages.
Genesis 11
28 And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Today we not only have the wickedness and violence that was prevalent before the flood in the days of Noah and the days of Lot, we also have the globalism and science (including the space programs, cloning, genetic manipulation) that are working together to "be like god" just like in the days of Noah - remember he was still alive when the tower of babel was built - and right before Lot was born - and they didn't stop their rebellion and trying to be like Yahweh, they were just slowed down when the languages were changed and they were spread throughout the world. Part of the wickedness then was definitely the working together against Yahweh and in the future will culminate in their turning their weapons against Yahweh when Yeshua returns.
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
The days of Noah and days of Lot Yeshua says will be right before His return DEFINITELY includes violence, homosexuality, calling evil good and good evil. It also includes globalism and the working together doing things Yahweh said to not do as part of the rebellion against Him. Just an interesting study.

31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Today we not only have the wickedness and violence that was prevalent before the flood in the days of Noah and the days of Lot, we also have the globalism and science (including the space programs, cloning, genetic manipulation) that are working together to "be like god" just like in the days of Noah - remember he was still alive when the tower of babel was built - and right before Lot was born - and they didn't stop their rebellion and trying to be like Yahweh, they were just slowed down when the languages were changed and they were spread throughout the world. Part of the wickedness then was definitely the working together against Yahweh and in the future will culminate in their turning their weapons against Yahweh when Yeshua returns.
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
The days of Noah and days of Lot Yeshua says will be right before His return DEFINITELY includes violence, homosexuality, calling evil good and good evil. It also includes globalism and the working together doing things Yahweh said to not do as part of the rebellion against Him. Just an interesting study.

Japeth, Noah, and the Table Of Nations
In previous posts, I showed how Canaan was cursed because of what his father Ham had done to Noah ( Ham, Noah, and the Canaanites ) . In another post I showed the line of Shem through Abraham and how Noah and Shem were both alive when Abraham was an adult and how Abraham could have studied with both Noah and Shem and Isaac could have studied with Shem ( Shem, Noah, Abraham, and Job ). Commentaries state this happened (IE: book of Jasher)
Noah's son Japeth was older than Shem and Ham was the youngest:
Genesis 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
Genesis 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
In middle eastern custom, those who are guests in the tent or home of someone is under their protection and the guests will be protected even at the cost of the lives of the household members. This is shown by when Lot offered his daughters to the sodomites when the angels were in his home and under his protection
Genesis 19
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him: 'Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.'
6 And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him.
7 And he said: 'I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters that have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes; only unto these men do nothing; forasmuch as they are come under the shadow of my roof.'
This protecting a guest is also shown when the daughter (and the guest's concubine) was offered to the men in Gibeah who wanted to rape the Levite guest (which nearly led to the extermination of the tribe of Benjamin) I posted about in an earlier post ( Benjamites of Gibeah, King Saul, and Judah ) which is found in Judges 19-21 .
After the incident with Ham, Noah cursed Canaan (Ham's son) and blessed Japeth and Shem:
Genesis 9
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25 And he said: Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
27 God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant
This is VERY interesting. The oldest son was the one who inherits the blessing ------ The older serving the younger and a younger son being the one chosen over the eldest by Yahweh is throughout the Old Testament:
As shown in the table of nations, Genesis 10, Japeth's descendants were the gentile nations:
Genesis 10
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
As shown in the post about Shem, Shem is the line of Abraham, David, and Messiah. It is interesting that the elder Japeth's ancestors, the gentile nations which Noah said would be greatly enlarged, will dwell under the protection of - in the tents of - a younger son which is the line of Messiah! I find that the blessing of Japeth and Shem to be highly prophetic regarding the Messiah and how the gentiles will be saved through the Jewish Messiah. It also speaks against British Israelism and other forms of the demonic replacement theology that has become widely accepted.

- Jacob inherits the blessing instead Esau.
- Judah is the ruling line and not Reuben (who sinned against Jacob) or Simeon
- Joseph gave the blessing to his youngest grandson
- Gideon was the youngest.
- King David was the youngest son.
- etc.
