The Angels Arrive in Sodom
In the evening, two angels, who were sent by God, arrived in the city of Sodom. They appeared to the people of Sodom as ordinary travelers, not revealing their true nature. Lot, who was a good man living in Sodom, saw them and immediately recognized that they were not just regular visitors but divine messengers. Understanding their significance, Lot welcomed them warmly and insisted that they stay at his house for the night, offering them food and protection. Lot, aware of the dangers in the city, wanted to make sure these holy beings were safe from the wickedness surrounding them.
This passage shows Lot’s kindness and his respect for the divine, as he takes immediate action to care for these visitors, who would soon bring important news from God.
