The account said she began to look back at the city before turning into a pillar of salt.
I’ve speculated over the years what could have been going through her mind when she looked back at the city because the account doesn’t say- i wonder if she was looking for close family members or friends.
When Christ appears again in his parousia, and he says to us this is the way, walk this way and we perhaps turn around and look back for friends and family we could lose out on our chance at being rescued. When we get explicit instructions like that it’s imperative we follow them exactly. Thoughts?
Gen 19 Then Jehovah made it rain sulfur and fire on Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah—it came from Jehovah, from the heavens. So he overthrew these cities, yes, the entire district, including all the inhabitants of the cities and the plants of the ground. But Lot’s wife, who was behind him, began to look back, and she became a pillar of salt.
