Lot's Day Vs. Our Day

Contributed by Thilini Perera on Jan 3, 2021

“IT WAS THE SAME IN THE DAYS OF LOT” said Jesus in Luke chapter 17:28 teaching invaluable lessons about the latter days, popularly known as the End-times. Jesus masterfully points to the parallel conditions between the two eras, LOT’S DAY and OUR DAY.

LOT’S WIFE. It’s worth looking at the conduct and the choices made by people of each category, as they ...read more
