AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 19:16 But Lot hesitated and lingered. The men took hold of his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, because the LORD was merciful to him [for Abraham's sake]; and they brought him out, and left him outside the city [with his family]. |
Bible Question: According to Gen. 19:16 did God actually used forced to get Lots out of the place? |
Bible Answer: Hi Becky, And while he lingered, the men 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 key phrase here is "and they brought him forth, and set him with out the city." Brought and set are in the form of these actions happening to Lot and his family. But what exactly this means we can only speculate. Lot was dithering, and the angels removed him. By taking his hand and walking through the city gate? By supernaturally whisking them through the sky over the wall? I don't know. I suppose you could say that the angels weren't waiting any longer, and they used however much for they needed to for Lot's and and family's removal. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
