Chiefly remarkable as having been the place where Lot lived after leaving Abraham, falling in spiritual power as he rose in earthly, till when he was a magistrate (Gen. 19:11And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; (Genesis 19:1)) his warnings of judgments were treated as mockery (19:14), and angels preferred the wicked streets of the city to the shelter of his roof (19:2). Jerusalem] is compared to Sodom in Rev. 11:88And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. (Revelation 11:8). Wicked, though the place was, it will be better off in the Day of Judgment than where there has been the refusal of greater light, as at Capernaum (Matt. 12), and certain places at the present time.
