What is wrong with Lot? As we read the events in Genesis 13 without the understanding of the background of the ancient Near East, we do not grasp the full understanding of the answer to the question. Yes. Most agree Lot chose poorly; Lot decided to live in Sodom and Gomorrah.
But, is there more to these events that we can’t see? Once again, if you have been part of our journey through the Torah, the 1st five books of the Bible, with are focus on Genesis, you know that as we put the Bible in its historical context, we “see” things in a whole different manner. It then helps us through the Holy Spirit understand His Word in a more expanded way.
I mentioned a website one can go to study the ancient family structure called the בית אב - Beit Av – the house of the father – the extended family structure lead by the patriarch. Here’s the link to the article - click here for the article on the Beit Av
By studying the concept of the Beit Av we can perhaps get a better understanding of what we call the family of God. We as disciples of Yeshua live in His House, the House of the Father, the Temple. In Hebrew the Temple in Jerusalem was never called the Temple. It was called the בית המקדש - Beit HaMikdash – the holy dwelling house of Adonai. So, we are God’s Temple, His בית המקדש - Beit HaMikdash - as Paul teaches in 1 Cor. 3:16.
