Lot's Escape Gone Wrong
They escape the burning city, his wife looks back and turns to salt, then things get even weirder in a cave.
Why did Lot's wife turn into a pillar of salt?
As angels rushed Lot's family out of Sodom, the command was explicit: "Do not look back" (Genesis 19:17). Lot's wife looked back at the burning city and became a pillar of salt — a judgment on her lingering attachment to the life being destroyed. Jesus made her a one-line warning: "Remember Lot's wife" (Luke 17:32).
