Lot Rescued From The Destruction Of Sodom

Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah was so great, Yahweh rained down fire and brimstone, utterly destroying the cities of the plain. However, the angels of God physically grabbed the hands of Lot, his wife, and his daughters, pulling them out of the city before the judgment fell. Lot was spared solely because God remembered Abraham.

"But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, for the compassion of Yahweh was upon him..."
— Genesis 19:16
Timeline Box: The destruction of Sodom serves as a stark biblical warning of divine judgment and merciful rescue.
