WHAT IS THIS "LOT AND LOT'S WIFE' ALLUSION ABOUT?

Notice the Biblical verse has the phrase "in that day" which cannot
help some--me--think ahead
to the next book. In this chapter, at this point, the Day is just
'swelling near"....all good (maybe)

"Remember Lot's wife," said Jesus. That is probably the most dramatic,
potent illustration the Master ever used in a sermon. As we read the
context, it is very obvious that the words were being applied to those
living on this planet right now. "In that day" refers to the "day when
the Son of man is revealed." Here is what Jesus actually said:

"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank,
they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the, same day
that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,
and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son
of man is revealed. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop,
and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and
he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember
Lot's wife." Luke 17:28-32.
