Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful unto him; and they brought him forth, and set him without the city." — Genesis 19:15-16 (ASV)
I have always felt pleased to think that there were precisely enough hands to lead out these four people, Lot, and his wife, and their two daughters. If there had been one more, there would have been no hand to lay hold of the fifth person; but these two angels, with their four hands, could lead precisely these four persons outside the doomed city. God will always have enough agents to save His elect; there will be sufficient Gospel preaching, even in the darkest and deadest times, to bring His redeemed out of the City of Destruction. God will miss none of His own.
