Everything in the story of Abraham and the Dead Sea Valley has been leading up to this point: the tragic end of Sodom and Gomorrah.

When it comes to Sodom and Gomorrah, there’s a lot of historical and archaeological conversations and research surrounding it. Here are some links to further learn and investigate:

In addition, I forgot to add at the very end that some people speculate they have found Lots wife, there’s a small pillar in the shape of a person found in one of the potential sites and some people believe that it’s her. Of course, if she was buried and caught up in the rain of minerals this could be possible. It’s clear nonetheless by scripture that even if not even locked in his daughter‘s experienced, what happened to her that she was still buried in the raining, sulfur and mineral debris falling from the sky if this truly did encapsulate her and was on the outskirts and not burning up instantly, it could actually be the preservation of her.

Just like the story of the garden and the fall, God gave positive instructions and told them everything to do and ask them not to do one thing with that one thing is the very thing that they did. In the same way the only thing that lots wife was asked not to do was turned back , but she did. The act of not listening to God and disobeying his instructions results in our own death.
