The Warning to Flee
The angels speak to Lot and deliver a very serious message: God is planning to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by the next morning because of their wickedness. The angels urge Lot to take immediate action and escape with his family, as they need to leave the city as soon as possible. They also ask him if there is anyone else he cares about or who might be in danger—whether it’s his sons-in-law, children, or anyone else close to him—so they can all flee together to avoid the coming destruction.
The angels are essentially warning Lot that time is running out, and they emphasize the urgency of escaping to safety before it’s too late. The message is clear: God’s judgment is near, and the only way to avoid it is to leave the city right away.
