Chiefly remarkable as having been the place where Lot lived after leaving Abraham, falling in spiritual power as he rose in earthly, till when he was a magistrate (Gen. 19:1) his warnings of judgments were treated as mockery (19:14), and angels preferred the wicked streets of the city to the shelter of his roof (19:2). Jerusalem] is compared to Sodom in Rev. 11:8. Wicked, though the place was, it will be better off in the Day of Judgment than where there has been the refusal of greater light, as at Capernaum (Matt. 12), and certain places at the present time.
