Genesis 19:30-38: Summary: Lot and his two daughters leave Zoar for a cave in the hills. 'Better is a little with the fear of the Lord.' For reasons we can only hypothesize, he's afraid of living in Zoar. Does he fear another episode of judgment? Has he experienced persecution? Has he realized that the hills of salvation are better than the little city of sin? Is his faith more mature? His two daughters have learned Sodom's lessons well. They scheme to obtain children by their father. It doesn't say much of him that they're able to induce such depravity. They're impregnated. A degenerate family is born in the cave of the righteous man. On the hills of salvation are made in sin two historical enemies of God: Moab and Ben-Ammi. They will be a regular thorn in the side of God's people. In God's mercy, another Righteous Man would also settle in a cave, only this One would rise victorious over all His enemies. The world was not worthy of Lot. Lot was not worthy of Christ. But the Lamb of God is worthy of a people who, reveling as unworthy in mercy, are more righteous than righteous Lot.
