S1 E79 | After God Saved Lot: Incest in the Family (Genesis 19:30-38)

After God, saving Lot and his two daughters. They moved from Zoar to the mountains, where they stayed in a cave. What transpired from there?

As unfortunately, this is a story about incest, so many legalistic and religious people may be quick to judge and crucify the two daughters. It’s clear by the story that their actions are not being promoted. However, this shows how we should be slow to judge them. They must’ve been aware of the disgraceful nature of what they were doing, however without their father leading and helping them as the man of the house, he’s partially to blame, especially back in that culture of semi arranged marriages. He failed to lead his family and left his daughters ina vulnerable situation.

although the times are different and a woman would be hard press to fall into a similar situation nowadays it’s clear that all of this resulted in curses and blessings. Blessings because God still loved and cared about them. He saw their faithfulness to listen to him and leave saw them, and they were eventually blessed with children that became great nations. However, with the daughters’s deception of their father, they also become enemies of God‘s people, our curse and are themselves one day taken out.
