Jesus also compared the time of His coming to the days of Lot. The people of Sodom were deeply involved in ordinary pursuits while living in a society marked by great wickedness. Judgment came suddenly, and those who were unprepared had no opportunity to escape. Let us remember that God’s patience is not permission to continue in sin. Scriptural Readings for the Day Luke 17:28-30 (KJV) “28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” Genesis 19:15 (KJV) “And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.” 2 Peter 2:7-9 (KJV) “7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:”
Prayer Lord, help me to remain spiritually separated from the wickedness around me. Give me grace to live righteously and be ready when the Son of man is revealed. Amen.
