Lot Lingered!
Here is an example of how our Mighty God comes to a full stop!
Gen 19:16 And while he lingered, the men (The 2 angels) laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
The Angels intervened but the last choice was Lot’s!
Gen 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
In the verse above we have 1 Lord on standby on Earth, and another Lord on standby in Heaven. Both waiting for Lot to get out of the destruction zone!
Gen 19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Another point proving that there will be a Rapture before the destruction to come.
The purpose of mercy must precede that of judgment.
I for one have made up my mind, just waiting upon the Lord to give the word!
I will not linger!!!
Lot was not saved by works, but by God’s MERCY!
AMEN!
