(Genesis 19:26)  But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

(Luke 17:32)  Remember Lot’s wife.

I’ve heard a few messages about Mrs. Lot, and the outcome of her looking back toward Sodom and Gomorrah. But I never heard it preached in the context of the end times. The truth is that Jesus told us to remember Lot’s wife while He was talking about what will happen in the end times. The Lord’s reminder is only mentioned in Luke’s gospel.

Mrs. Lot must have heard the same warning of impending judgment from the angels as her husband. But yet, her heart was not “in it”! She couldn’t grasp the fact that the city she lived in would be completely destroyed. Before we pass judgment on her, aren’t people today doing the same thing? Even the church is asleep when it comes to the end times. Just as Mrs. Lot was not ready to leave the comforts of her life, neither is the world.

Luke goes on to tell us what Jesus wants us to watch for. Just as in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. (Luke 17:26) Lot’s wife was going about her day-to-day chores when sudden destruction was upon her city. She was not ready to grasp the reality of what was to happen. As well, the world is not spiritually ready to grasp what is to come. They don’t want to hear it. They scoff at those of us who try to warn them of the impending doom. Luke continues on to tell us about the horrors of the end times.

But for those of us who are watching, and are spiritually awake, we are ready for the Rapture of Luke 17:34-36! We won’t be on earth when the Tribulation’s judgments arrive. People have heard the Good News but, like Lot’s wife, are not ready to commit to salvation. They want to continue in their “life” and their worldly attachments. But right around the corner is their worst nightmare!

Jesus warned us to remember Lot’s wife. So remember her. Make yourself ready by receiving His gift of salvation. Salvation is a choice. Exactly what have you got to lose if you choose salvation? You will go to Heaven at the Rapture or at your death if you are saved. If you believe the lie that God would not send anyone to Hell, then you will go there. God is a righteous Judge and He will send you there, but only because it was your choice.
