What happensPermalink
God destroys Sodom and Gomorrah. Two angels visit Lot in Sodom; when the men try to rape them, Lot offers his daughters instead. The men rescue Lot and his family before God destroys the entire valley.
Why it mattersPermalink
God shows mercy to Lot and his family for Abraham’s sake, patiently waiting for them to leave before sending destruction. He is patient even though Lot is slow to listen and slow to leave.
Key versePermalink
Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven.
