Commentary on Genesis 19:25

Theological / Devotional

He overthrew those cities. This expression is suggestive of an earthquake, but is also used to describe cities destroyed by enemy action so thorough as to leave them like Sodom and Gomorrah (see 2 Sam. 10:3; Isa. 13:19). Repeated reference is made to this catastrophe throughout the OT (Deut. 29:23; Isa. 1:9; Jer. 49:18; 50:40; Amos 4:11; etc.). They serve as an example of final judgment by fire on all the wicked (2 Peter 2:6; Jude 7).
