2 Peter 2:7-8
King James Version (KJV)
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:  (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

Was Lot a righteous man?  Peter says he was.  Does this line up with Moses writing?   Let’s examine the Scriptures.  

“Billism ” coming,  You must:  “Study  to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 

Do not take my word…..you are responsible,  search the Scriptures.

    *   Lot went with Abram
    *   Strife in the camp, Abram gave Lot first choice of land
    *   Lot chose well watered plain – they separated

    *   Lot and his family enslaved
    *   Rescued by Abram

    *   The angels in Sodom, after Abrams prayer
    *   Lot gives them refuge
    *   Lot  goes out to save them

To me this is the only moment Lot, showed himself righteous, and full of Faith.

  
    *   the angels saved Lot, asked after His loved ones.

Note: sons in law did not believe – Lot, Lots wife and two daughters saved.

     *   angels saved them… (pulling them away from the fire)
     *   angels directed them to run far….Lot chose nearby town.
     *   God remembered Abraham

Note – Lord sent angels, God in agreement with the Lord, destroyed the towns; God  remembered Abraham and saved Lot and those he loved.

” it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.”

Lots daughters got him drunk, laid with him, had  children. ….God gave them land and protected their decendants until many years later, they joined with others who were against Israel.

Then the Lord ordered their tribes destroyed.

God saved Lot, because He remembered Abraham and his prayer.  His children were saved because (like Moses and Jesus ) he once stood up (risked his life), to the unrighteous around him to protect the men he invited into his home.

God blessed the children until they walked out of His protection by joining Israel’s enimies. (Psalm 83).
