Genesis 19:27-20:18

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:12-29

Genesis 19:12-Joel : . The men have learnt all they need to know of Sodom’ s character, and tell Lot of its impending fate that he may be rescued with his household. His prospective sons-in-law ( mg.) do not heed his warning, so, as the morning is drawing on, the angels urge him to escape with his wife and daughters. As he lingers, they hurry them out of the city and bid them escape to the mountain, not looking behind or loitering. Lot fears to do this, and is permitted to find refuge in... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 19:27-29

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Genesis 19:27-29THE RIGHTEOUS MAN’S RETROSPECT OF GOD’S GREAT JUDGMENTSThe judgment which had long been threatened had now come. The righteous vengeance of God had overtaken the guilty inhabitants of these cities, and Abraham witnessed the scene of desolation when all was over (Genesis 19:28). The feelings which rose within him at that awful sight are those which must fill the heart of every saint when he is permitted to behold God’s great judgments upon sinful... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:1-38

Genesis 19:0 Notice: I. Sodom's sinfulness. Her sins were committed amidst an unbounded flush of prosperity; they were committed amidst scenes of much natural loveliness, Nature being outraged before the eye of her most beautiful forms; and they were committed not only in opposition to Nature's silent, but to God's spoken, warnings. II. Notice Sodom's warnings. One was given by the entrance of Lot within its gates; another was given by the advent of Chedorlaomer and the invaders from the east.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:1-38

Chapter nineteen of the book of Genesis deals with the destruction of the city of Sodom. The Lord came to Abraham and informed him of the fact that because of the wickedness of Sodom, it was necessary for the judgment of God to come. Abraham pleaded with the Lord for Sodom, interceded actually saying, "But what if there are fifty righteous; would You destroy the righteous with the wicked?" And the basis of Abraham's intercession was the Lord of the earth should be fair, or be just. Even in... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 19:1-38

Genesis 19:1. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom, as a magistrate, no doubt, for the wicked accuse him of making himself a judge or elder. The main gate of a city was the usual place of hearing causes, and administering justice. There is no intimation that he sat there merely for hospitality. Genesis 19:4. Old and young. The whole inhabitants of Sodom were utterly corrupted, and they wished all the world to know the perfection of their wickedness. Genesis 19:5. Know them. This most... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:24-28

DESTRUCTION OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH, 24-28. This account of the overthrow of the cities of the plain is brief, but graphic. Four things are succinctly told: 1) The means of destruction fire and brimstone from heaven. 2) The effect utter ruin of the cities, inhabitants, and vegetation. 3) Lot’s wife perishing. 4) The appearance of the country after the destruction, as seen by Abraham like “the smoke of a furnace.” It is scarcely necessary to repeat here the various speculations and controversies... read more
