THE LOT DAUGHTERS
 © Carlos Padilla, May 2010
Jesus Christ found, in His first coming to the Earth, a corrupt society influenced by pagan Rome and to a submissive Israel and victim of the religious tradition, far from being the ideal Town of God, in its majority they lived remote on the Temple. History of Lot shows us, to similarity of Judea of times of Christ, the one that can to be history of any person, in any time, that lives in a society that impose to the town laws and taxes and whose leaders have left the moral of God, something to which the world has been entered at a speed of vertigo, that according to the Biblical prophecies for the terminal times, it will cause that the world is the faithful reflection than Lot experimented in Sodoma and Gomorra. Like the kings of those cities, today, in our society are the political leaders, in all the institutions and at all the levels those that are imposing the laicism antichrist, giving like result a relativistic and materialistic world moved away of the values spiritual morals and of the Christian judeo culture.
“The daughters of Lot� are a Biblical study that reflects the turn out to live integrated in an opposed system to God, in which Lot, choosing its own businesses and ideas, surely thinking that it could live with his beliefs without being hindered, it ends up seeing his wife turned into salt statue, and her daughters abusing him. In the story we will find a history that reflects the soul and the projects of any Christian, nowadays, that like Lot thinks that it will be able to live in this globalized world hiding his faith, instead of to give to testimony of her in freedom, being the salt and the light of the world, as the Gentleman ordered to us: … And he said to them: You go by everybody and you preach the Gospel to all creature. The one that will believe and will be baptized, will be safe; but the one that will not believe, will be condemned… Marks 16:15,16. In the end we will deepen in the symbolic spiritual meaning of the history of Lot and its comparison with two models of person of God: Lot and Abraham.

GENESIS 19
DESTRUCTION OF SODOMA AND GOMORRA. OR THE FALL OF BABYLON IN APOCALYPSE.
they 1Llegaron, then, both angels to Sodoma at dusk; and Lot was seated to the door of Sodoma. And seeing them Lot, one rose to receive them, and one inclined towards the ground, Â
Throughout the history of Genesis on Lot, we have been to him following in its previous itinerary its arrival Sodoma and Gomorra. We have seen him leave Ur of Chaldea with its Abraham uncle. To go with him during the trip until the valley of the Neguev, we have seen him follow to him Egypt, and finally, in the return to the same valley to which it returned with Abraham we see him separate definitively of him.
Lot, then, represents the prototype of O-Man woman who being on God, nevertheless, lives in his own project of life including his own religious vision, although recognizes the things of God. It is for that reason that Lot receives the messengers who come from God. These messengers are two of the three men who had met with Abraham, who as well symbolize the Father, to the Son and the Spirit Santo. Both angels who come to look for Lot from the Father, and by intercession of Abraham, are Christ and the Spirit Santo.
Christ announces the Salvation to us by faith in His work. The Gospel includes the repentance of the worldly life, like which Lot lives, which is the sin conviction that to us the Spirit transmits Santo. Really, that we must walk by Its way, to Its side, in Its yoke, and not by ours, and asking to him that it blesses to us, being conscious of our dependancy of God.
Sodoma and Gomorra represent the spiritual state of moral and religious tolerance of the world, a state that takes to the Christian to lose its first love of God, as the Gentleman in Apocalypse protests to us: 2:4. We will be all this it seeing throughout the story and of Biblical Texts.
2Y said: Now, my gentlemen, I request to you that you come to house of your servant and you stay yourselves, and you will wash your feet; and in the morning you will rise, and follow your way. And they responded: No, that in the street we will remain tonight. 3Mas it porfió with them much, and was with him, and entered their house; and he did banquet to them, and he cooked breads without leavening, and ate. Â
A priori, Lot seems a good man of God, hospedador, that offers its house and its food, but Lot is not including/understanding that the visit is not accidental, nor of step. When wanting to provide with accomodations them until the following day so that they follow his way, the Word declares the blindness in which is Lot, does not fall in the account, when sunk being in its own mind, of which the envoys of God which they have entered his house, society, life and corrupt system have done, it by the intercession of their brother in the faith, Abraham, by the mercy of God, because evident he is to Lot that the city where it lives is not santa and he knows that both men of God are it. If they visit a sin place he is by a mission of God to save some soul of the eternal fire that is going away to spill shortly in the place.
Jesus Christ has shown during His Earth life in Gospels this attitude to us of God to look for the sinful one there where he is. We will remember when he acceded to eat with Levi, Mateo, the collector of taxes, or when receiving to the woman ramera having pardoned it when regreting, he adulterates or it. How to forget when it receives to the centurion, or when it touches and it heals lepers, or it releases to possessed people, etc., this one are the characteristic of Jesus de Nazaret, He goes to where they are the children of God, to the mud of the sin, because Their love and mercy shine in front of Him. As Santo taught to us to Jesus in the Spirit: … You go then and you learn that it means: Mercy I want, and nonsacrifice. As later the Gentleman in Santiago confirmed: … Because judgment without mercy will take control of which it will not make mercy; and the mercy prevails on the judgment, Santiago 2:13. In the end both sent, in the same way that Jesus, is becoming in entering house of Lot, symbol of the soul of Lot, to continue with Their message, as a Jonás, looking for to wake up their spirit in repentance, however of mind.
4Pero before they lay down, surrounded the house the men by the city, the men of Sodoma, all the together town, from youngest to oldest.  5Y called to Lot, and they said to him: Where they are the men who came tonight? Sácalos, we know so that them. Â
The men of Sodoma, during history, as it is well-known, symbolize physical homosexuality typically, but so he is not known to identify this Text with the personal religious deviation, that is the deepest understanding of this Word and the one that wanted that the reader has in mind. Sodoma, in addition, represents the doctrinal deviation, the fornication and the spiritual adultery of a system, church or religion that put under that they depend on him, the turned aside religious institutions of the Word of God and which they impose his traditions and dogmas to his feligreses. Those are these leaders that want “to know� both men sexualmente-espiritualmente.
It teaches us to the Bible in many occasions that “to know� in this sense talk about a sexual relation, as it is the case of Jose and virgin Maria, the mother of Jesus when she says that: it did not know it until it gave to light his first-born son, Mateo 1:25.
She is then in spiritual fornication that the men of Sodoma want to know the men of God, with the intention to make them part of their system, to annul the healthy doctrine without leavening and faithful to the Word of God which they bring and to turn them to the one of them, leudada with his norms, idols, hierarchies, orders of men, traditions and dogmas.
This episode and this interpretation do not have to scandalize to us, because we have another good example clarifier when the devil touches to Jesus in the desert offering to him all the kingdoms of this world if postrado it adored to him. Lucas 4. It does not scrimp attempts the enemy of God and ours, and it also tried if it in the days of Sodoma and with Jesus, against the own Gentleman, we do not doubt that it does in these dangerous times in which we lived appearing like angel on light to deceive, if it will be possible even to the chosen ones. Therefore vistámonos of all the armor of God de Efesios 6:10 to extinguish all the fire darts of the malignant one, and having finished everything being firm for the coming of the Gentleman in clouds in the final day.
The religion man that gives to cult to its traditions and dogmas and in particular puts in front to God, preferring the property to his church, or denomination, or religious system before to God, becomes slave of the spiritual Sodoma. Pablo in the first letter to the Corintios, in the first chapter, already taught that we cannot say that we are of Pablo, neither of Apolos, nor of Cefas. But there is another worse property, the one than we see in Lot: to belong to one same one, to be enslaved of I, when the Gentleman says to us that the one that does not detest its own life is not worthy of Him. The conclusion, in Word of God is: … You leave her town mine… cries out the Gentleman by us in Apocalypse 18:4. She, remembers it, is not only if we belong to a turned aside congregation of the healthy doctrine, but our own I del that we must leave and yield the throne of our soul to Christ, the King of kings.
6Entonces Lot left to them to the door, and closed the door after himself, 7y said: I request to you, brothers mine, who you do not make such badness. Â 8He now I have two daughters here who have not met man; I will remove them outside to you, and you do of them as it seems to you well; only that to these men you do not do anything, since they came to the shade of my tile roof. Â
Lot offers to Sodoma its two virgin daughters, its two projects of life and religion. Lot fears God at this moment and tries that their holy guests nor are not touched by the sinful ones, getting to offer what really it is catching to him, its daughters, symbol of its ideas that not yet have been materialized. He knows that their ideas are hers, and that both men of God bring the pure doctrine of Christ who does not have to be contaminated. It is for that reason that the sodomitas want to pervert and to adulterate the healthy doctrine, because it demonstrates the deviation of hers. We saw it in the Inquisición we saw, it in Sanhedrin we see, it in Sodoma we today see and it in many turned aside denominations of the Word of God, which are being put in evidence today by the hand of God in different scandals from all type, and not only sexual or economic. They return to the Bible, return to the Word of God, those that fear God.
9Y they responded: Acquittal there; and they added: This stranger came to live between us, and he will have to be elevated in judge? Now we will make more evil than to them. And they made great violence to the man, to Lot, and they approached to break the door. Â 10Entonces the men extended the hand, and put to Lot in house with them, and closed the door. Â 11Y to the men who were to the door of the house hurt with blindness from the minor to the major, so that they got tired themselves looking for the door.Â
Jesus Christ has taught to us who Its message of Salvation for the man is presented/displayed by parabolas so that they included/understood those that heard of that they had ears to hear and eyes to see. These men of the history of Lot are blinded by God before the True doctrine. They try to make violence to any member of their institution that lodges and sets out its faith in the Truth, against them and they threaten to him. This it is the same scene that undergoes all that one that sees the Light it exposes and it before a turned aside congregation, the persecution of its leaders. Finally they would be gotten tired looking for the door. The door is Christ, but to them it has been closed them, have been blinded since they do not come from clean heart before God.
12Y said the men to Lot: You have some here more? Yer to us, and your children and your daughters, and everything what you have in the city, sácalo of this place;  13Porque we are going to destroy this place, inasmuch as the outcry against them has raised of point in front of Yahweh; therefore, Yahweh has sent to us to destroy it.  14Entonces left Lot and spoke to his yer to us, those that were to take their daughters, and it said to them: Levantaos, you leave this place; because Yahweh is going to destroy this city. But it seemed to his yer to us because one made fun of.Â
Yer to us they are the alliance that had made Lot through its daughters with that corrupt society, which is not to the liking of God. Also it represents those false brothers that although they are with us true are not turned Christ, but the opportunity occurs them to become and to log-off, but with sadness we also observed that its heart belongs to the world, like yer itself of Lot. This is a rule of the love of God to all man, since it did with Abraham: if we loged-off and we followed God we are saved and blessed. These yer we do not accede and have left to be destroyed. Their mixed daughters or ideas and own doctrines with those of the Gentleman, will both form projects of life outside Sodoma and Gomorra, the one of life and the monk. Sodoma and Gomorra will be destroyed just as Babylon. We see it announced in Apocalypse 18.
15Y at daybreak, Los Angeles gave haste to Lot, saying: Levántate, takes your woman, and your two daughters who are here, so that you do not perish in the punishment of the city. Â
This paragraph, sight in serves us to allegory to conclude the history of Lot, the one that the humanity will live, and especially the Church in the coming of Christ. There are two witnesses of God in Apocalypses that come to announce for the last time the Gospel, to proclaim for the last time the message of Juan the Baptist, famous “the arrepentÃosâ€?, along with the final prophecies of the Bible, Apocalypse 11. Once the Church is removed from the world, as it were it Lot de Sodoma and Gomorra, - and it does not say to me that the society in which we lived, the entire world does not look like to him every time more, the destruction will come on the world as it is prophesied by God: 2Pedro 3. There are two types of Christians: the Abraham and the Lot. First they obey to God. The second no.
At daybreak he is cuado to a soul comes the Light from Christ, and also it is the coming of the Son of God in His Kingdom.
Â
16Y pausing it, the men took root of their hand, and the hand of his wife and the hands of their two daughters, according to the mercy of Yahweh towards him; they removed and it they put and it outside the city.Â
It costs to him much to the man who is centered in itself to remove from his heart the form of life of Sodoma and Gomorra to release to his soul and its ideas. God is merciful, but what it will happen with a soul in which the seed fell, to similarity of the parabola of the sowing machine, between the hawthorns of the false religion and of the ideas and projects of life of the world.
17Y they had taken when them outside, said: It escapes by your life; you do not watch after you, nor even in all this plain; it escapes to the mount, is not that you perish. Â 18Pero Lot said to them: No, I request to you, gentlemen mine. Â 19He now has found your servant here grace in your eyes, and you have engrandecido your mercy that you have done with me giving the life me; but I will not be able to escape to the mount, she is not that she reaches the evil to me, and dies. Â 20He now this city is here close for fleeing there, which is small; dejadme to escape there now (she is not small), and I will save my life. Â
Once Lot is put out of danger, not even then it is going to obey to God without complaining, and proposes an alternative, by which until it requests. Its heart is hard, its lukewarm soul, and its spirit in the dark. Lot, a man of God but that still needs to regret: to change of mind. A new city proposes Lot in its state of deviation and lack of faith and spiritual bravery. Lot does not trust God, but its own judgment, that will take to the spiritual death. A new city is a new church or religion also turned aside of the Truth, smaller, but the case is not to obey to the Gentleman. Lot does not think that it can live in the mount, where it inhabits God in the heights.
Lot does not understand that God wants that it has a time of reflection and oration in His presence, without haste, in the patience of God and under Its direction. What it happens to him to Lot it is that in the presence of God it must resign to his own ideas and trust Him, to obey without complaining, waiting for to him Him to him, and to live in His time and to Its form, which to the meat of Lot does not like. The man and the woman of God will put under his meat the Spirit of God with the force that gives Jesus Christ, because… I can all it in Christ who fortifies to me… Filipenses 4:13. Anger and fire of the Spirit are what a faithful soul to God emanates, refusing to itself. In order to secure it the Word it shows one to us of the best systems to win to us same with the power of God through gift of the Virtue.
21Y responded to him: I have I have received also your plea here on this, and I will not destroy the city of which you have spoken.  22Date haste, escápate there; because nothing I will be able to do until you have arrived there. For that reason the name of the city was called, Zoar.
God has mercy of Lot, even being prototype of a soul that depends on the organized cult to have a relation with God, that sadly does not have it personally in its privacy. God allows him to live in a system that not yet has been contaminated by Sodoma, but that is city of the plain, the easiest life that in the mount. That is what it seems to him to the Lot of any time. In you take care of me give all fact it, I do not have to make an effort, I do not have to look for the will to me of God. Lot is the return to the situation of Eva, that prefers the knowledge of a code of the good and the evil before to ask God in person, before to regret and to ask to him to God that saves to him of its sins by its impossibility to obey the Law. This it is the original sin.
23El sun left on the Earth, when Lot arrived at Zoar. 24Entonces Yahweh made rain on Sodoma and Gomorra sulfur and fire from Yahweh from skies;  25Y destroyed the cities, and all that one plain, with all the inhabitants of those cities, and the Earth fruit.  26Entonces the woman of Lot watched back, behind the back of he, and it became statue from salt. Â
Zoar also means “smallness� and “brilliance�. For that they know something the Jewish world, the rabbi and Spanish intriguer of Guadalajara of XIII the Moisés of Leon compiled the mystical vision of the Torá, influenced by his studies of Maimónides, turning his learning of the compiled Biblical exegesis into the Midrash with the rest of his studies in his famous Zohar, the book of cábala par excellence. Thus, we could say that when a Jew, or any person, looks for the form to leave with hers before God, and in its own opinion to continue pleasing to him, it thinks that its action is “shining�, and a “smallness� that God will tolerate. It is at least an attitude that the authority of the Law of God recognizes and follows under a fear of God, but that finally does not trust Its Gentleman, which YHWH will not tolerate in the end.
Lot is the father of cábala, according to emanates of the Bible, is expert in putting excuses not to obey to God, expert in looking for the alternative to be able, in his opinion, to do what it wants but to continue obtaining, creates he, the blessing of God. Then, the medical instructors of the Zoar which obtains, to similarity of the woman of Lot are a soul done statue of salt, died to the Spirit of God, because they come to God by the mind and not by the spirit. The soul of Lot throws in lack the organized system, doing what wants, the great religion to which belonged, but the one that did not force to him to walk in sanctity, watches because she back and is turned into salt statue. And being that God detests the spiritual tepidity, the soul of Lot is dried and died not to love God unconditionally. Or we loved God or we did not love God. At God we did not arrive by the understanding but to love to him with love of God. … Hopefully you would be cold or warms up. But inasmuch as you are lukewarm, and noncold nor it warms up, I will vomit to you of my mouth. Apocalypse 3:15 b and 16
27Y in the morning raised Abraham the place where there was been in front of Yahweh.  28Y watched towards Sodoma and Gomorra, and towards all the land of that one plain it watched; and there am the smoke raised here of the Earth like the smoke of a furnace. 29AsÃ, when it destroyed God the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent it go to Lot of in the middle of the destruction, when knocking down the cities where Lot was.Â
God already knew that not had remedy with Lot, that loved its own vision of the things and the property a system that to him pleased to him, but Abraham, the free man, in his mercy it intercedes by him and God counts on Abraham. Therefore we are as Abraham and we intercede before God by the same brothers that are like Lot, and mirémonos, in case it sends us to the Gentleman to two men of God, in which case more is worth to us not to make calculations, so that we do not lose the salvation of our soul, so that one does not become salt statue.
30Pero Lot raised of Zoar and dwelled in the mount, and its two daughters with him; because she was scared to remain in Zoar, and inhabited in a cave he and its two daughters. 31Entonces the major said to the minor: Our father is old, and it is not Earth man that enters according to the custom of all the earth. Â they 32Ven, we give to drink wine to our father, and sleep with him, and we will conserve of our father descendants. Â 33Y gave to drink wine to their father that one night, and entered the major, and slept with their father; but it did not feel when she lay down, nor when she rose. Â 34El following day, said the major to the minor: I have here, I slept the night last with my father; we give him to also drink wine tonight, and enters and to duer to me with him, so that we conserve of our father descendants. Â 35Y gave to also drink wine to their father that one night, and the minor rose, and slept with him; but it did not throw to see when she lay down, nor when she rose. Â 36Y the two daughters of Lot conceived of their father. Â 37Y gave to light the major a son, and called its Moab name, which is father of the moabitas until today. Â 38La smaller also gave to light a son, and called its Horseradish tree name, which is father of ammonites until today.
Lot finally understands that in Zoar it will not be contented God with him and hides its ideas, and their doctrines and beliefs, because in Sodoma he was to him bad. In the cave, symbol of their interior, their two daughters or ideas of life and religion embriagan to him and conceives two new ancestries, two new projects that are not of God, the moabitas and the ammonites. There am the end of Lot here. You leave her town mine! , the Gentleman says. We leave all personal blindness, our spiritual blindness, all fanaticism, and obey to the Gentleman in Its Word and in love of God, we make justice and mercy. We live, not like Lot but like Abraham, like good Samaritan, helping to which it needs and in the gold rule, following the example of they 1Juan 3:16 - 17, doing Church, taking the gospel and living in a personal relation with God in Jesus Christ under the unction on the Spirit Santo.
Â
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ABRAHAM AND LOT
Once Abraham has freed to Lot de Sodoma, as it narrates chapter 14 of Genesis, once has been received by Melquisedec, - figure of Jesus Christ, Hebrew 7, who removed bread and came - symbol of Santa Cena- to celebrate the action of Abraham, by its mercy towards Lot, and once Abraham has demonstrated that it despises all the wealth of Sodoma, when the king requests the people to him - symbol of the souls is when Abraham receives the promise of God to have a son, a heir of its descendants.
But it even has left to Abraham to pass more tests, and also. The following one is to do with Egypt just like God with Sodoma does: to undo of everything what it has of Egypt, coming from the stay of Sara there, to Agar and Ismael, to remain with Isaac that is the fruit of the promise, the fruit of Sara under the powerful hand and the blessing of God. The soul of Abraham, Sara, also had originally its inclinations and weaknesses in the world, as we have all them, but the faith and the confidence in God will cause that we see in our life the blessing of the Gentleman. We see that Abraham returns to say again to the king of another city where it lived temporarily that Sara was her sister, did just as it in Egypt, returns it to do in Gerar. He is by that the Gentleman would not give Isaac until he obeyed and he trusted Him his heart yet to him.
Once Abraham has seen how there is lost to Lot, how although it has interceded by him, Sodoma and Gomorra has been destroyed like corrupt systems of life, who all Christian will have to reject of his life, as well as the wealth that offer, once also it has dismissed his own son with the Egyptian servant, for being fruit of Egypt, and project of life of the world.
Last and the hardest one of the tests will be the following one, the one that we found in Genesis 18. Once God makes with him the pact of the circuncisión, from which Isaac would be born, son of Sara, by will of God, not by faith of Sara, once it gives the great blessing him, the true project of God, is then when Abraham must resign to Isaac, his loved son, the promise of God, the true project of God. Yes, also to the blessing of God. Isaac is for anyone of us the blessing of God who we have looked for with more yearning in our life, is a son, handcuffs or personal husband, profits, professional success or Christian ministry. Once God has granted it to us, having learned to resign to all the other projects in which our heart had turned upside down by the lack of faith, thinking that God would not give it to us, when to finally it gives it us, we have to offer it in sacrifice to God.
For which God makes happen to Abraham through all these so difficult tests, makes him resign in view, to the evident projects Egypt, like Sodoma - the one that chose Lot symbol of our meat and to Ismael - the one that chose Sara, symbol of our soul, and finally also it asks to him to Abraham, like a anyone of us, descending of his faith, to clear of his heart to Isaac, - the fruit of our spirit with God the blessing from God?
The answer is the key of our lives. … You will love the Gentleman your God yet your heart, and with all your soul, and all your mind and all forces. Marks 12:30. Everything what we loved has to be in background, including which is of God, because of the Gentleman it is our heart, He died by us, He under the sky to this world to rescue to us of the sin and of the eternal death freeing to us of eternal hell, He is our husband of the soul. Jesus confirms it to us: … The one that loves father or mother more than, is not worthy of me. The one that loves son or daughter more than, is not worthy of me; and the one that does not take its cross and follows after me, is not worthy of me. The one that finds its life will lose, it; and the one that is killed its because of me will find, it. Mateo 10:37 - 39.
The example of Abraham as far as the obedience that showed the Gentleman was in blessing, of the same form that will be to us if we obey to God. Abraham undertook the trip of its life, to obey to God and to leave its earth, its relations and the house of its father, to the Earth that God would show to him, just like there are to do each of us in our spiritual trip, because: … 3Bendeciré to which they will bless to you, and to that they will curse to you I will curse; and all the Earth families will be blessed in you.  4Y went away Abram, as Yahweh said to him; and Lot was with him. And it was Abram of age of seventy and five years when it left Will do.  5Tomó, then, Abram to Sarai his wife, and Lot son of its brother, and all goods that had won and the people whom they had acquired in Will do, and left to go to land of Canaán; and at land of Canaán they arrived. Genesis 12.
Â
SODOMA AND EGYPT IN JERUSALEM
The society of Sodoma and shows us to Gomorra what in anyone of us it would be the attachment to any organized system beforehand to which we belong. The property to the established thing, the well-known, to the accepted thing, is the spirit of Lot. The obedience of Abraham to God leaving all the previous one is the spirit of whom friend of God� by the own God is called “, Isaiah 41:8.
… In your simiente all the Earth nations will be blessed, inasmuch as you obeyed voice. Genesis 22:18.
Abraham is the prototype of the entrepreneur, as much at spiritual level as personal and professional. Lot is the antithesis of Abraham, he prefers what or it is done, without realizing of which it will have to support all the errors of the established thing, is a traditional church or of false doctrine, a company or an unworthy or corrupt work, or any relation under a submission without dignity, as they are it the victims of abuses, physical as as much emotional. They never log-off by the lack of bravery, the lack search of the Gentleman and of Its guide. Both angels we see also them reflected in both witnesses who the Gentleman will send to the time end of Apocalypse 11:
… And their corpses will be in the place of the great city that in spiritual sense is called Sodoma and Egypt, where also our Gentleman was crucified. 9Y those of the towns, tribes, languages and nations will see their corpses by three day and a half, and they will not allow that they are buried. 10Y the Earth inhabitants will rejoice envelope they and they will be glad, and gifts will be sent an a others; because these two prophets had tormented the Earth inhabitants. 11Pero after three day and a half entered them the spirit of life sent by God, and they rose on his feet, and fell great fear on they saw which them. 12Y heard a great voice of the sky, that said to them: You raise here. And they raised the sky in a cloud; and to its they saw them enemies. 13En that one hour was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city collapsed, and by the earthquake they died in number of seven thousand men; and the others terrified, and gave glory to the God of the sky. It is Jerusalem, the great city, shelter of Sodoma and Egypt, symbol of the two daughters of all man, who to similarity of Lot, lodges in his soul the ideas and doctrines of Sodoma - the sectarian submission with missed doctrine, traditions and dogmas nonBÃblicos- and Egypt - the world. Mr. Jesus Christ died in Jerusalem in the central cross of three crossings, as we remember, one to each side. In them there were other two crucified men who also represent Abraham and Lot. First one was clear sinful and he had faith in Christ, requesting to him that one remembered him when came in Its kingdom. The answer that received took to the paradise that one day. The second neither in the same condemnation regreted nor obeyed to God, its destiny, like Sodoma and Gomorra: the lake of fire and sulfur.
In three occasions we will see in history the consequence of the blindness of the man and the nation everything, or the majority of the humanity, the symbolism that presents/displays the history to us of Lot as far as its persistence in following its own project, with the aggravating one of being a man of God, connoisseur of the God de Abraham and participates in Its blessings.
Although Abraham committed an error when looking for its sustenance in Egypt, and although it returns to repeat it in Gerar, it does not return to go to nations or established cities, once it passes the test of Isaac. Abraham, unlike Lot, when it is warned of his sin regrets and march. Nevertheless in Lot we found that yes it returns to look for them and has in addition it so ingrained in its soul, that this one, its wife, becomes salt statue. The wife of Lot does not support to go with her husband to look for the stranger, but she is what God orders. To the way of Eva that disobeyed the voice of God and of Adam, it sins and it pays the price with his life. Abraham receives its wife, who is given back to him of the house of the Pharaoh by the mercy of God that knows its heart. Abraham regrets to first; Lot for too much behind schedule, after having to be removed literally from that one society of Sodoma and Gomorra.
The pact of God with Abraham is based on the obedience that showed when leaving it everything back: … It vetoes of your earth and your relations, and the house of your father, to the Earth that I will show to you… Genesis 12:1 - 9. The Plaintext also reflects the blessings that would come from God to Abraham. What the attention must call us nevertheless is that Lot also was with him (versus 4), but when it acquired the blessings and were seen that it had possessions was attemped and wanted to negotiate more and, and going to the cities of the world it was lost. The other case, most famous of a man of God that loses the Way of the Gentleman is king Salomón, by the same reason, to follow its pagan spouses, their ideas of the world, besides by the abundance of goods, mixed with the life peacefully and authority and power of God.
The salvation of the souls of Lot and Salomón hands then over of God will judge that them in its infinite mercy. So that we do not fall in this temptation living in the abundance, the own Bible in the Proverb 30:8 b and 9 of the own Salomón, inspired by the Gentleman it says to us: … Not me DES poverty nor wealth; Mantenme of the necessary bread; It is not that it satiates to me, and denies, and says to you Who is Yahweh? or that being poor, it steals, and blasfeme the name of my God…
This is the scene that we will see at the end of the times, in the same way we have seen that it reflected in Sodoma and Gomorra in the times of Abraham and Lot. A enemy world of God in great way that will be destroyed by God by means of Its judgment in the brilliance of Its coming. The change will happen when in Jerusalem sacks the religious concepts and traditional calls Sodoma and Gomorra, and receives to the MesÃas, Jesus Christ, Yahshua, this time will not come on a pollino son from asna, but it will be the New Jerusalem the one that will come with clouds and all eye will see him, and those that they transferred to him. Yes, amen. Apocalypse 1:7.

CONCLUSION
Lot in its own project of life in which one has separated from his uncle, who is the man who has removed to him from Ur, that has the blessing, who has taught to him, and from who could even have arrived at you inherit, commits a serious error when separating from the Way of God and to look for his. The separation of Abram could it have avoided if it had issued order to his shepherds to live peacefully with his brothers, the shepherds of Abram.
Certainly to many brothers it sounds to east passage like faithful reflection of the groups of shepherds in the life in the churches and the denominations to them, even of the world, the policy, etc. In its place, the local church must be made up of small groups that unanimous form the congregation, the Church of God, that congregates and makes together works under a same shepherd.
It arrives then, Lot, to a place of depravation, curse of God, where the enemies live on God, everything to want to make his own project, to want to prevail in his own form, in his own time, with the typical impatience of a young person to whom the things go to him well and thinks that all the mount is oregano.
Sodoma and Gomorra, that were destroyed by their great sin against God, showed, like today, a society corrupted in all the scopes, and to stay in the faith, integrity and in the truth we must fight against all current of around, because “I can All it in Christ who fortifies� Filipenses 4:13 to me.
As we can verify, today the governments approve opposite laws to the Law of God, to the basic orders of human dignity, against the right of the freedom of he brings back to consciousness and in favor of the corrupt and turned aside minorities of the Truth of Christ. As then Sodoma and Gomorra were destroyed by God, also our world will be destroyed by God in the coming of Jesus Christ as it is written, as it says the prophecy in 2Pedro 3, in the same way that have been fulfilled all the prophecies Biblical.
That the man regrets is something that it will have to do before the Day of the final Judgment comes, that can today be, as the Gospel de Lucas remembers to us… Tonight come to pedirte your soul, Lucas 12:20. Nobody will be able to say that it has not had the opportunity to know that it was in sin, in Sodoma and Gomorra, in Babylon. ArrepentÃos: … And I heard a voice of the sky, that said: You leave her town mine, so that you are not contributor of its sins nor you receive part of its plagues; because their sins have arrived until the sky, and God has remembered its badnesses. Apocalypse 18:4 y5. Text just as the referred one to the sins of Sodoma and Gomorra at the beginning of this study, in Genesis, also chapter 18:20 y21.
Hebrew 13 are the Biblical Text conclusion: … We have an altar, of which they do not have right to eat those that serves the tabernacle… … Thus also Jesus, to sanctify to the town by means of His own blood, suffered outside the door. We leave, because to Him, outside the camping, taking Its censure; because we do not have here permanent city but we looked for by coming. So, we always offer to God, by means of Him, sacrifice of praise, that is to say, fruit of lips that confess Their name. And to do well and of the mutual aid you do not forget; because at such sacrifices God is pleased. You obey to your shepherds, and sujetaos to them; because they guard by your souls, like those who are to give account…
Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the ewes, suffered outside the door, occurred to Itself by love of us, the Church, the wife of the Son of God. If It loves so much to us how we to Him with love of God do not land on water. … Because of such way it loved God the world that has given to Its unigénito Son so that all that one who in Him creates not loses more has eternal life. Juan 3:16. Maranatha, Amen.
