Gen. 19:23• 23The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. (Gen. 19:23)
• How solemn are these words, “The sun was risen.” It speaks of a cloudless day with no sign of the coming judgment. As the Lord tells us of the men of Sodom, “they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded.” All went on as usual, “But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.” The Lord adds the solemn words, “Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed” (Luke 17:28-30). So, at a later day, the Apostle could write “that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thess. 5:2-3). (“Friendship With the World: Genesis 19” by H. Smith)
