Chapter 19

12-14. Sodom Passed Boundary of Mercy—The Sodomites had passed the boundary of mercy, and no more light was granted to them prior to their destruction. Had the warning gone through these cities of the plain, and had they been told just what was to come, who of them would have believed it? They would no more have accepted the message, and God knew it, than the sons-in-law of Lot (Manuscript 19a, 1886).1BC 1093.7

16. Lot Paralyzed—Lot was paralyzed by the great calamity about to occur; he was stupefied with grief at the thought of leaving all he held dear on earth (The Review and Herald, November 14, 1882).1BC 1094.1
