She had been plucked from the burning fires of Sodom. By John Macduff.

Genesis chapter 19 verse 26 But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

Luke chapter 17 verse 32

Remember Lot's wife.

Beware of worldly entanglements. How many there are who, like Lot's wife, have apparently set out to the Zor of safety, yet who linger and perish in the plains of Sodom? They hear the terrors of the law. They are roused by the threat of the coming conflagration. They think of fleeing. They have actually set out. The world they have left has too many attractions and fascinations. Like Demas, they give the preference to these. They look back to Sodom and perish eternally.

Beware of yielding to temptation. Lot's wife had gotten out of reach of the summonings and jeers of her evil companions. She had reached the brow of the hill and was apparently completely safe. She had been rescued from the idolatries of Chaldea and the superstitions of Egypt. She had been plucked from the burning fires of Sodom, and yet she perished notwithstanding. How sad it is to see a soul that had set out on the way to heaven, that had escaped the temptations of youth, that got rid of worldly entanglements, that got out of Sodom and was on its way to Zor, yet perishing with salvation in sight.

But Lot's wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt. Remember Lot's wife?
