Bible Question: Why did they arrive the night before? Was there some reason for staying the night? |
Bible Answer: God is merciful and goes to great lengths to give people the opportunity to repent. I believe they arrived early to give Sodom the opportunity to 1. repent or 2. Reject This also gave Lot the opportunity to choose..after all, he had remained in Sodom despite their great wickedness... Romans 2: 3 But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? |
