Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 19:12-22
CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 19:12. Son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters.] “The mention of the son-in-law before the sons and daughters is somewhat surprising. Lange has proposed to read thus: ‘Hast thou here any besides as son-in-law?’ (i.e., connected with thee by marriage), and then follows the mention of the members of Lot’s own family. And this would certainly be a more probable arrangement.” (Alford.) Genesis 19:13. The cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord.] Heb. Is... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 19:18-22
MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Genesis 19:18-22THE INFIRMITIES OF THE HEIRS OF SALVATIONLot was a representative of the heirs of salvation, inasmuch as it was God’s gracious purpose to save him from the judgments coming upon the ungodly; and he worked with that purpose—was obedient to the voice which called him to flee from destruction and make for safe shelter. His efforts betrayed human weakness.I. These infirmities are seen during the progress of their deliverance. Lot did not obey the... 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

Little Sins A Sermon (No. 248) Delivered on Sabbath Morning, April 17th, 1859, by the REV. C. H. Spurgeon at the Music Hall, Royal Surrey Gardens. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Is it not a little one?" Genesis 19:20 . THESE words we shall take for a motto, rather than a text in the ordinary acceptation of that term. I shall not this morning attempt to explain the connection. It was the utterance of Lot, when he pleaded for the salvation of... 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

The infirmity of fear (Genesis 19:19). 2. Wilfulness (Genesis 19:20). 3. Forgetfulness of past mercies. 4. A lingering selfishness. II. GOD IS GRACIOUS TOWARDS SUCH INFIRMITIES (Genesis 19:21). III. THERE ARE CERTAIN CONDITIONS WHICH FIT THEM FOR SUCH MERCIFUL INDULGENCE. 1. When they have already commenced the flight from... read more

Genesis 19:20Is it not a little one?--Is it not a little one?God warns us to flee from the low level life of sin to the mountain of purity and peace. A word spoken by a friend, something read in a letter or book, joy, sorrow, anything God can use as His angel or messenger to call us away from the land of sin. And we are willing to do so on condition that we may keep that one little sin that doth so easily beset us. There is one habit which conscience tells us is not quite right, but which could... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 19:21
I have accepted thee; Heb. I have lift up thy countenance, i.e. granted thy request. The manner of the expression possibly may be taken from the custom of the eastern parts; where petitioners used not to fall upon their knees as we do, but to prostrate themselves with their face to the ground; and the person to whom they addressed themselves, in token of his favourable acceptance of their petitions, commanded them to be lifted up. read more
