📚 Historical Context

In the Old Testament book of Genesis, Lot was a righteous man who chose to live in the wicked city of Sodom, which was known for its extreme moral corruption and sinful behavior. God, recognizing Lot's integrity amid the surrounding evil, sent angels to rescue him and his family before destroying the city as an act of divine judgment. The apostle Peter references this event in his letter to illustrate God's pattern of delivering the godly from the influence of the wicked, particularly in the context of warning against false teachers.
