Part 2 of this epic smiting.
Apparently, the LORD's mission to Sodom and Gomorrah didn't go well because the Angels of the LORD have shown up to rescue Lot. Were these the two men God showed up with in Chapter 18?
Gen. 19 Lot encounters them at the gate of Sodom. Was it maybe called the the glory gate? Lot sees them and somehow recognizes them as angels even though they appear as men. I'm not sure how that worked, but upon seeing them, Lot prostrates himself in front of them and whisks them away to his home.
We all know this story very well, so I'm not going to tarry on it too long. They are sitting down for a feast and suddenly all the men from the city surround them. They want some forced sex with angels. Kinky.
Lot offers up his virgin daughters instead. These people are such raging fairies that they pass up some virgins and are planning to break down the door with Lot in front of it to get to their angel quarry.
The angels snatch Lot back in to the house and strike all the men blind. It seems like if they could strike them all blind, they could strike them all dead, but our LORD is truly the artist. He struck them blind before raining fire down. Can you imagine how satisfactory it would be to strike your enemies blind and then slowly pick them off one by one with fire and brimstone within a walled city?
It would be the human equivalent of burning ants with a magnifying glass.
