Remember Lot’s Wife



Remember Lot’s wife!

Luke 17:32



Genesis 19:26 
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

The Coming of the Kingdom
Luke 17:26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:
27 People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

32 Remember Lot’s wife!
33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

The Malham cave stretches for over 10 kilometres (6.25 miles), through Mount Sodom, Israel’s largest mountain. It is close to where the Bible claims Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt upon the “sight of God,” who had descended to Earth to bring destruction upon Sodom and Gomorrah. Indeed, the cave’s main outlet is close to a salt pillar nicknamed “Lot’s wife,” after the biblical character. One of the chambers of the cave has been named the “Wedding Hall” due to its spectacular salt stalactites.

– Secret, Hidden Cave Revealed

The World's Longest Salt Caves at Mount Sodom
After initially discovering the salt caves of Mount Sodom decades ago, Hebrew University officially unveiled their findings on a tour for the press, inside Mount Sodom.
But the Malham cave, just off of Highway 90 along the coast of the Dead Sea, is home to a different kind of secret.  Dated at some 7,000 years old, a network of cave chambers and channels have slowly been carved out of the mountain by rain water dissolving the salty layers of the hill. But it was only recently, with modern technology, that the full magnitude of the cave was revealed.  




So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were
pledged in marriage to his daughters.
“Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place,
 for the LORD is about to destroy the city!”
But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.


tsachaq: to laugh
Hebrew: צְחַק
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: tsachaq
Phonetic Spelling: (tsaw-khak')

Genesis 19:14 
HEB: הָעִ֑יר וַיְהִ֥י כִמְצַחֵ֖ק בְּעֵינֵ֥י חֲתָנָֽיו׃
NAS: to his sons-in-law to be jesting.
KJV: this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto
INT: the city become to be jesting unto to his sons-in-law


Do people today still laugh and mock the warnings of God’s word?
