Welcome to today’s Bible study.In this episode, we step into Genesis 19 (KJV), where judgment falls and mercy moves with urgency.Angels arrive in Sodom as darkness deepens. What follows is a night of tension, warning, and divine intervention. Lot is urged to flee. There is no time to linger. Behind him, a city stands on the edge of destruction.Fire falls. Judgment is executed. What seemed stable is suddenly gone.Yet even in the midst of devastation, mercy is seen. Lot is pulled out. A path of escape is given. But hesitation carries a cost, and one glance backward becomes a lasting warning.Through verse by verse study, and with insight from Matthew Henry, we uncover the seriousness of sin, the danger of compromise, and the reality of a God who is both just in judgment and merciful in rescue.About the podcast:A verse by verse journey through Scripture, exploring its historical depth, literary beauty, and theological truth, while connecting it to everyday Christian living.Purpose:Created for both study and devotion, with the goal of deepening your understanding of God’s Word and drawing you into its story.Sources:Matthew Henry Commentary via Blue Letter BibleBibleRef for contextual insightsResearch tools used for background understandingAll material is used for educational, non commercial purposes with credit to original authors.
