{Verses
1-38: Characteristics of being Out of Fellowship with God}
{Verse
1:A Believer Out of Fellowship - Wrong Perspective - Emphasizes Time
instead of Eternity}
1^~And
there came two angels/messengers {mal'ak}
to
Sodom about dark.
And
Lot sat/'dwelled in prosperity' in the gate of Sodom
{idiom implying he held the respectable position of judge}.
And
Lot 'seeing and perceiving'
{ra'ah - means he knew they were from the Lord}
rose
up to meet them
and
he bowed himself
with
his face toward the ground.
{Verses
2-3:A Believer Out of Fellowship - Has Unhappy Household}
2^~
And he said {'amar},
"Behold
now, my lords, turn in, I pray you {if it pleases you},
into
your servant's house,
and
spend/pass the night {luwn},
and
wash your feet {idiom for enter and stay in my house},
and
you shall rise up early,
and
go on your ways."
And
they said,
"Absolutely
not, we will spend the night in the street."
{Note: RBT says this indicates that Lot's home was not a pleasant one. Apparently Lot and his wife were constantly fighting. This is a picture of baby believers out of fellowship.}
3^~
And he kept on pressing upon them greatly.
And
they 'kept on changing their minds' {cuwr} toward him
{means they were considering the best thing to do and decided to
stay with Lot},
and
entered into his house.
And
he {Lot} made them a banquet,
and
did bake unleavened bread {matstsah},
and
they kept on eating {'akal}.
{Verses
4-11:A Believer Out of Fellowship - Has No Sense of Responsibility
to their Family}
4^~As
they were laying down,
the
men of the city - even the men of Sodom -
compassed
the house round, both old and young,
all
the people from every quarter {came from all over the city}.
5^~And
they kept on calling out {qara'} unto Lot,
and
said {'amar} unto him,
"Where
are the men which came in to you this night?
Bring
them out unto us,
that
we may have sexual relations with them
{yada` - idiom: literally 'to know intimately' - here means 'for
homosexual activity'}.
6^~
And Lot went out at the door unto them,
and
shut the door after him.
7^~
And said, "Please/'I pray you', brethren,
do
not so wickedly/evilly {ra`a`}.
8^~"Behold
now, I have two daughters
who
have not 'had sexual relations'/known {yada} man.
Let
me, please/'I pray you',
bring
them out unto you,
and
do/manufacture {'asah - vile things out of their lust}
yourself
to them as . . . {is} good {towb}
in
your eyes {`ayin - pure human viewpoint -
in Lot and in the mob}.
Only
unto these men do/manufacture {'asah - out of respect for Lot}
nothing, for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof."
{Note: Lot is thinking only of his reputation in the town. If these strangers are abused while under his personal protection, then his reputation will be destroyed. So, out of fellowship, he would rather give his young virgin daughters to this mob - for them to abuse.}
9^~
And they kept on saying {'amar}, "Stand back."
And
they kept on saying, "This one {Lot}
came
in to sojourn/'temporarily dwell' {guwr},
and
he acts as a judge!"
Now
will we deal worse/'more wickedly' {ra`a`} with you!
And
they 'pushed back' greatly upon the man - even Lot -
and
approached to break the door.
10^~The
men {the two angels} put forth their hands,
and
pulled Lot into the house to them,
and
shut to the door.
11^~They
{the two angels}
caused
to be smitten {nakah - Hiphil causative stem}
the
men at the door of the house with blindness {canver}
-
both small and great -
so
they kept on being exhausted to find the door.
{Note: The picture is that the lecherous men are so inflamed that even in blindness they try to advance on the two angels. But they cannot find the door.}
{Verses
12-14:A Believer Out of Fellowship - No Testimony to Unbelievers}
12^~And
the men {two angels} said unto Lot,
"Have
you here any {relatives} besides?
Son
in law, and your sons, and your daughters,
and
whatsoever you have in the city,
bring
them out of this place."
13^~"For
we ourselves will cause to destroy this place,
because
the cry of them is growing great
before
the Presence/face of Jehovah/God.
Jehovah/God
has 'intensively sent' {shalach - Piel stem} us
to
destroy it."
14^~Lot
went out, and communicated categorically {dabar}
to
his sons-in-law
-
having married/'taken away' {laqach} his daughters -
and
kept on saying {'amar},
"Get
up! Get out of this place!
For
Jehovah/God is causing the destruction {shachath -hiphil stem}
of
this city.
But
they 'thought he was intensely joking'
{tsachaq - Piel stem - to play with, make fun of, kidding around}
with
his sons in law.
{Note: RBT says there are at least 3 sons-in-law here and they have no respect for Lot or his word. He has been in reversionism so long he has no 'testimony' for them to respect.}
{Verses
15-17: A Believer Out of Fellowship - Is Disciplined in Time, but
Not Judged}
15^~And
when the dawn was come,
then
the angels were caused to hurry to Lot, saying {'amar},
"Get
up! Take your wife,
and
your two daughters, who are here,
lest
you keep on 'being consumed'/perishing {caphah}
in
the iniquity of the city.
16^~
And while he kept on delaying himself {mahahh},
the
men kept on supporting his hand,
and
the hand of his wife,
and
upon the hand of his two daughters.
{idiom: meaning Lot and his family were weak and confused,
the angels were confident and strong under the pressure}
Jehovah/God
showed 'grace in action'/mercy {chemlah} unto him.
And
they {the angels} kept on causing him to be brought {yatsa'} him
forth, and kept on causing him to rest {yanach}
outside
the city.
17^~
And it came to pass,
having
caused them to be brought forth outside,
that
he {an angel} kept on saying,
"Escape
for your life.
Keep
on being caused not to look behind you,
neither
keep on staying in all the 'plain region' {kikkar}.
Escape
{malat} to the mountain,
lest
you keep on 'being consumed'/perishing {caphah}.
{Verses
18-30:A Believer Out of Fellowship - Mentally Faints/Worries}
18^~
And Lot kept on saying unto them, "Oh, not so, my lord
{'adown idiom: literally 'lord'}."
19^~"Behold
now, your servant has found grace/favor {chen}
in
your eyes/sight {`ayin},
and
you have magnified your mercy/'grace in action' {checed},
which
you have done/manufactured {'asah - out of God's grace} unto me in
causing the saving my life/soul {nephesh}.
I
cannot keep on escaping to the mountain,
lest
some evil {ra`} keep on overtaking me, and I die."
{Note: This is a picture of a baby believer out of fellowship and his confused thinking. God has just delivered him from danger and now he is afraid to be in the mountains!}
{Human
Viewpoint Trying To Overrule Divine Viewpoint}
20^~
Behold now, this city of my neighbor
is
near to flee unto,
and
it is just a little time {meaning it is not far away}.
Oh,
let me escape thither, (is it not a little time?)
and
my soul {nephesh} shall live.
21^~And
he {the angel} kept on saying unto him {Lot},
"I
have endured/sustained your presence/face {paniym}
concerning
this 'doctrine communicated categorically' {dabar}.
I
will not overthrow this city,
because
of the doctrine
you
have communicated categorically {dabar}.
22^~
Go quickly! Escape,
for
I cannot do/manufacture {'asah - out of divine judgment}
any
'declared decree' {dabar} till you be come
{the angel needs Lot out of the way so he can fulfill the Word
decreed by the Lord}.
The
name of the city was called Zoar {means insignificant}.
23^~The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24^~
Then Jehovah/God caused to be rained
upon
Sodom and upon Gomorrah
brimstone
{gophriyth - used for divine judgement from Jehovah}
and
fire from Jehovah/God
out
of heaven {shamayim}.
25^~And
he kept on overthrowing
those
cities, and all the 'plain regions' {kikkar},
and
all the inhabitants {yashab}
of
the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26^~His
wife/woman {ishshah}
was
caused {by her curiosity} to look back
from
behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27^~Abraham
was caused to get up early in the morning
to
the place where he stood
in
the presence/face of the Jehovah/God.
28^~He
was caused to keep on looking down on
the
presence/face {paniym} of Sodom and Gomorrah,
{and}
the presence/face {paniym} of all the land of the plain,
and
he kept on seeing/observing {ra'ah}, and, lo,
the
thick smoke {qiytowr} of the country went up
like
the thick smoke of a furnace/kiln/smelting forge {kibshan}.
{Note: Seems like a good description of a nuclear event.}
29^~
And it came to pass,
when
'Elohiym/Godhead intensely ruined/destroyed
the
cities of the plain,
that
'Elohiym/Godhead kept on remembering
{His
promise to} Abraham,
and
kept on intensely sending Lot
out
of the middle of the overthrow/destruction,
when
he overthrew/destroyed the cities
in
which Lot dwelt in blessing {yashab}.
{Note: So God had honored the intent of the intercessory prayer of Abraham to preserve Lot. There were NOT ten righteous in Sodom so Sodom was destroyed. At this point, Abraham assumed that Lot and his family were now dead. This will take a mature believer - Abraham - a mature believer - to be disillusioned. That is the story of Chapter 20.}
30^~And
Lot kept on going up {`alah}
out
of Zoar, and dwelt in blessings/prosperity {yashab}
in
the mountain, and his two daughters with him.
For
he feared to dwell in blessings {yashab} in Zoar.
He
dwelt in blessing {yashab} in a cave {with} his two daughters.
{Verses
31-38: A Believer Out of Fellowship - No Resistance to Sin Away from
Sodom, Imitates the People of Sodom}
31^~And
the firstborn daughter {bekiyrah - the oldest daughter}
kept
on saying {'amar} unto the younger daughter {tsa`iyr},
"Our
father is old.
There
is not a man in the earth
to
come in unto us after the manner of all the earth."
32^~"Come
{yalak - an order},
let
us cause our father to drink wine,
and
we will keep on lying/'having sexual relations'
{shakab - incest here} with him,
that
we may preserve the seed/progeny of our father."
33^~And
they kept on causing their father to drink wine that night.
And
the firstborn daughter kept on going in
and
kept on lying/'having sexual relations' {shakab} with her father
and
he did not understand {what was happening - drunk}
when
she lie down/'had sex {shakab}
nor
when she finished
and
arose {quwm - indicates completed action}.
34^~
And in the next morning,
the
firstborn daughter kept on saying {'amar} unto the younger,
"Behold,
I laid/'had sexual intercourse' with my father last night.
Let
us keep on causing him to drink wine this night also.
And
go you in, and lie with him,
that
we may keep on preserving the progeny/seed of our father."
35^~And
they kept on causing their father to drink wine
that
night also.
And
the younger daughter kept up arising,
and
kept on lying/'having sex' lay with him.
And
he {Lot} did not understand {what was happening - drunk}
when
she lie down/'had sex {shakab}
nor
when she finished
and
arose {quwm - indicates completed action}.
36^~
Both the daughters of Lot
kept
on being pregnant by their father.
37^~And
the firstborn daughter kept on giving birth to a son.
And
called his name Moab.
The
same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38^~And
the younger daughter,
she
also gave birth to a son,
and
called his name Benammi {Ben-`Ammiy}.
The
same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
