Lot is a type of the denominational church down in Sodom yet. Watch, the Bible said that, “The sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul daily.” Why didn't he have nerve enough to stand out against it? There's a many a good man sitting in a church today, looking out and seeing women with shorts on and man doing these things, and their members going, playing golf on Sunday, and picnic parties, and swimming and things, instead of attending church. Sitting home on Wednesday night, watching television, instead of attending church. They feel like saying something about it, but the board would put them out. What's the matter? It's Lot again, looking out of his window and seeing the sin, and afraid to call sin “sin”!
Abraham wasn't in their mess, he was out of it. He was a type of the spiritual Church. Now watch what happened just at the end time, just before the fire fell. And those were Gentiles. It foreshadowed the fire falling on the Gentile world today, when the kingdoms will be broke up and they'll be burnt. “Heavens will be on fire,” saith the Lord, “and they'll burn with fervent heat.” That was a shadow of it.
