There are a lot of people who love money. They run behind money to get more rich. While others are obsessed with worldly Possessions.
They can be compared to Lot's Wife for she was a Materialistic woman.
We have many "Materialistic Lot's wife" types in this Generation.
Lot's wife did not follow God's command. God said, "Don't Look Back." She loved the World rather than her Creator because she was a Materialistic woman. She wanted Sodom and its entire filthy belongings. She loved worldly things and remembered her properties. She desired the lust of the flesh. She looked back out of disobedience in her heart and for the love of her lifestyle. It reminds us that we must stop looking back.
Woe to those who love material possessions when Rapture happens. They should be more focused on spiritual things.
Lot's wife was a virtuous woman but she was greedy at the same time. She still desired the world she was leaving behind. The Word of God says, "Where your heart is there your treasure shall be." Her heart was on worldly things and she got turned into a pillar of salt. She did not believe God's warning!
Remember! Worldly things are not going to last. There are so many people in this world who are in pursuit of wealth, material possessions, money, assets, luxury items, car, castle,s and property. All of that will perish one day.
Just like most of the world today, many folks are too caught up with entertainment, addictions, drug abuse, sexual sin and pleasures of the world instead of listening to God's warning!
The Word Of God Says,
As for the Sodom and Gomorrah:
The LORD replied, "If I find in the city of Sodom fifty godly people, I will spare the whole place for their sake."
At dawn the angels hurried Lot along, saying, "Get going! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or else you will be destroyed when the city is judged!" When Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters because the LORD had compassion for them.
They led them away and placed them outside the city. When they had brought them outside, they said,
"Run for your lives! Don’t look behind you or stop anywhere in the valley! Escape to the mountains or you will be destroyed!" ~Genesis 19:15-17
This verse clearly indicates that Lot's family were righteous people but the biggest mistake Lot's wife did was she DOUBTED God and did not believe His Word even though she had Heavenly visitation.
Because she disobeyed GOD'S Command, she was turned into a pillar of salt. Turning and looking at something that belongs to us is not a sin, but since GOD Commanded us not to look, and if we look, then it is a sin for disobeying. Being disobedient has its consequences.
This story also signifies the Heavenly Race which is an individual race, a self-determined game and one should not be distracted while you are in the Heavenly Race.
The Loving God who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah is the Same loving God that will come to destroy the whole earth and burn the foundation of the world.
Most Importantly, No Sinners Can Enter Heaven!
JESUS said, "Children belong to the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN." He said because they were SINLESS.
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. ~1 John 2:15-17
We just have to live a Righteous and Holy life every day, as if it’s your last day of life here on earth!
DON'T LOOK BACK! DON'T DESIRE THE WORLD!!
Leave worldly things behind. Just keep your focus on God's promises.
LORD HELP US TO BE FAITHFUL TILL YOU COME.
