📚 Historical Context
In the book of Genesis, Lot and his family were warned by angels to flee the wicked city of Sodom and not look back as God destroyed it for its moral corruption. Lot's wife disobeyed this command, looked back, and was turned into a pillar of salt, illustrating the dangers of attachment to a sinful past. Jesus references this story in Luke 17 during His teachings on the coming Kingdom of God, urging His followers to remain focused and not cling to worldly things when facing divine judgment.
