[Note: This is one of a series listed under the heading: Wordie Post." It was originally posted on the Word Press blog entitled "Our Daily Bread," found at rtippett97@wordpress.com. The changes at Word Press are similar to those on Twitter and Facebook, where I was posting to an empty space. That was because I began and maintained that blog as one of their free offerings. When their force to change to a paid blog website did not move me, they cancelled their "Reader," so posting on Word Press has become like a caged animal at the zoo, where only workers occasionally toss the animals a bite to eat. Word Press [et al] is like what I imagine life was like in the satellite countries of the Soviet Union: meager, bleak, spiritless. So, I am transferring those forty articles here.]

In Genesis 13 we read of Abram and Lot separating. We are told: “Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. (This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company.” [Genesis 13:10-11]
Then, in Genesis 14 we read of Abram rescuing Lot. We read: “[Abram] recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.” Then, Melchizedek blessed Abram as a “priest of el most high.”
Then, in Genesis 18 we read of Sodom going to be destroyed. A strange story ensues, where Abraham [that’s his name now] bargains to save Sodom if ten good people could be found there [that was down from an original fifty good people]. Lot lived there, with his wife and two daughters [four people].
So, another strange story is in Genesis 19, which tells of Lot being visited by three men [much like the three men who visited Abram and Sarai]. They tell Lot to head out of town quick, and don’t look back. Later we read, “Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.” [Genesis 19:27-29]
This is like the same story being told, but with a different ending.
Then there is this: In Exodus 19 – 24 we read about Moses reaching Mount Sinai and meeting with Yahweh, getting the Covenant and having the elders agree to it. In Exodus 24:18 we read: “Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.”
Then, in Exodus 32 we read about the Golden Calf. Here we read: “Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.” [Exodus 32:15] Then: “When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain.” [Exodus 32:19]
Then, in Exodus 34 we read of The New Stone Tablets. In verse 28 we read: “Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.”
This is like the same story being told, but with a different ending.
I believe all of this is the truth, with the exception of the truth of the second stories in this pair being prophecies. The element of the broken tablets and the golden calf took place when both Israel and Judah fell into ruin and collapse. The second trip up the mountain, with a new set of tablets brought down are the New Testament. That was Moses prophesying the same Covenant that married the souls of the Israelites to Yahweh would be the same Covenant that would marry the souls of Christians to Yahweh. There is no escaping that marriage vow and the expectation to forever maintain that agreement that brings eternal Salvation.
As for the prophecy of Genesis, there is significance in the name change from Abram to Abraham. Abram was prior to having descendants. Abraham was after having descendants [even though the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was presented before Isaac was born]. This makes the story of Abram be one that took place back when; but the story of Abraham and Lot being a story prophesied that has yet to come. There is no evidence of a destructive event having ever occurred, such as that described in Genesis. Thus, that is a prophecy that still awaits the world.
The aspect of Abram saving Lot has passed. Abraham and Lot reflect a separation that exists until the end, where the Abrahams of the world will be those souls truly married to Yahweh, as His Saints. This makes all the Lots of the world be the Christians in name only [not works or deeds], who slum around with all the heathen Gentiles, pretending to be holy, while loving every minute of the debauchery of the world. All the goodie-goodie Christians that love the Left Behind movies produced in the ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’ that is Hollywood, might get to be the few who escape the total annihilation of the world, which they did nothing to stop and helped to come about. When Abraham looked down on the smoky ruins of the world, it was as a soul saved. Lot represents lost souls hiding in the caves where Satan lives.
As for all the Hollywood productions about zombies, well that will be the truth of hell being on earth. Souls are eternal; but lost souls cannot find entrance into heaven. After the world has been destroyed [by mankind being led by demons], then the souls get to come back into rotting flesh and limp around forever, parts falling off left and right. There will be no death for those souls already condemned to live in the realm they sold their souls for – Zombieland.
