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.

Ham, Noah, and The Canaanites,
Very interesting making connections in the Old Testament that you don't see others mention - probably because they are too busy looking for hidden messages and getting their ears tickled by false prophets they have no time to actually read let alone study the bible for their selves.
Reading the generations after the flood, you can see some very strong connections with what happened and how it seems their are blood lines that are predisposed to certain characteristics (I am NOT speaking of serpent seed or anything heretical like that) due to prophecies spoken against individuals and their offspring.
After the flood, there was an incident that many theologians have debated the exact meaning of:
Genesis 9
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
The 1899 Douay-Rheims bible gives an indication what the correct meaning, which is widely debated and commented on, may be:
Genesis 9
20 And Noe a husbandman began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
21 And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
22 Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father's nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.
23 But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him
Clearly Noah knew what Ham HAD DONE to him - something happened - what it exactly was is debated. Some commentaries say that Ham sodomized Noah, Leviticus 20:11 seems to indicate it could have been Ham had sexual relations with his mother although that is not stated and his mother was not mentioned. It is reasonable to believe that Ham sodomized Noah although the debate on that is not (directly) what this post is about.
Leviticus 20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Why did Noah curse Canaan, Ham's son, for what Ham had did to him?
Genesis 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Would a curse of Ham's SON be given if the sin of Ham had just been to see his father naked? Why curse Canaan -ONE of Ham's sons- (he had several sons mentioned in scripture) and not Ham or ALL of his sons?
Genesis 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
It is very interesting that Ham's son Canaan was the line of sodom and gomorah which were wiped out by Yahweh for their wickedness - which included homosexuality. Exactly what part, if any, did Canaan have to do with what Ham had done to Noah?
Genesis 10
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
Throughout the Old Testament, the Canaanites were enemies of Israel and Yahweh had commanded Israel to destroy them. While not implicit, one can deduce that the Amalekites were of the line of Caanan and led to Haman trying to destroy the Jews (book of Esther) because King Saul allowed Agag to survive.
Deuteronomy 20
16 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
Just some interesting observations. Worthy of a deeper bible study if I can find anyone who is interested in studying the bible.

Benjamites of Gibeah, King Saul, and Judah
Not sure if there is any meaning to this connection although I find it very interesting.
I won't post the entire three chapters here. You can read them at Blue Letter Bible if you don't have a bible or have it with you.
In Judges 19-21, a Levite traveling with his concubine stopped in Gibeah, a city of the Tribe of Benjamin, for the night. It was a dangerous place and a Gibeahnite invited them into his home for the night. Some men of belial (ba-al) came and wanted him to send the man out so they could rape him (sounds a lot like what happened to sodom and gomorah with the angels) and the man refused and gave his daughter and the Levite's concubine to them to do with them what they wanted. They abused and raped the Levite's concubine and she ended up dying.
Under Yahweh's instruction and with a sorrowful heart, the children of Israel came to fight the Gibeahnites. The rest of the Tribe of Benjamin came to the aid of the Benjaminites in Gibeah. All the women were killed and nearly all of the tribe of Benjamin were wiped out. They found women from another tribe for the surviving Benjaminites to marry so the tribe would not be wiped out. Yahweh allowed the near destruction of the Tribe of Benjamin due to sodomy.
Later Israel demanded a king even though they had Yahweh as their king. Yahweh gave them King Saul which was from the Tribe of Benjamin even though in Genesis 49:8-10, Judah was to reign until the Messiah came. It is obvious Saul was a placeholder by Yahweh until King David was old enough to become king because of the insistence for a king by Israel.
The most interesting part is that King Saul was from Gibeah. I'm quite sure that what happened in Judges 19-21 with the Tribe of Benjamin almost being wiped out and Saul, a Benjaminite, from Gibeah becoming king are related although Yahweh has not shown me any more on this yet. Gibeah (and the entire Tribe of Benajmin nearly being wiped out because of what happened in Gibeah) almost being wiped out. Saul, from the Tribe of Benjamin, being named king even though Judah was to rule, and Saul being from Gibeah is very interesting puzzle to figure out. (FYI: King David was from Judah)
Genesis 49
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Thoughts?
