The Danger of Delay
Commentators like Calvin and Henry note that even righteous Lot lingered when told to flee. His hesitation, born from anxiety and attachment to his life in Sodom, is seen as a mirror for our own spiritual slowness. When God calls us to leave a sinful situation or obey Him, delaying can be spiritually fatal. The angels' urgent command, "Arise... lest you be consumed," highlights the serious consequences of procrastination in matters of faith.
