In Genesis 19, we find a level of sin and wickedness reigning free similar to the days before the flood of Noah's time. God has mercy on Lot and rescues him from the city that is about to be destroyed. Judgment is coming and God is going to rescue the one righteous man remaining. Lot's wife can't seem to let go and looks back instead of urgently running forward in obedience to the direction God sent through His messengers. There's still a lot of sin evident as Lot's daughters take the preservation of their family name into their own hands. We see God's motives and mercy as well as His righteous judgment for wickedness.
