Genesis 19:23
21 “Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.
22 Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.
And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.
25 Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
