Cross-reference
Genesis 19:14 shows Lot obeying the angel's command to warn family — but his sons-in-law think he's joking, showing the futility of the rescue effort.
Genesis 19:17 continues the rescue commands: angels now tell Lot's family to flee to the mountains without looking back, escalating urgency after the initial warning.
Genesis 19:22 reveals the reason behind the urgency: the angel cannot destroy Sodom until Lot reaches safety, linking his rescue directly to the timing of judgment.
In Genesis 7:1, God warns Noah to gather his household into the ark before the flood — paralleling the angels urging Lot to gather his family before Sodom's destruction.
In Numbers 16:26, Moses urgently warns to depart from the tents of the wicked before judgment falls — echoing the angels' command to Lot to gather his family out of Sodom.
Joshua 6:22 parallels this rescue pattern: the spies tell Rahab to bring her family out of Jericho before its destruction, just as angels tell Lot to gather family from doomed Sodom.
2 Peter 2:7 directly references this rescue: God delivered righteous Lot, distressed by Sodom's wickedness, fulfilling the warning angels gave him here.
2 Peter 2:9 states the principle behind this rescue: the Lord knows how to deliver the godly from trials and hold the unrighteous for judgment.
Revelation 18:4 echoes this same pattern: a divine voice calls God's people out of Babylon before its judgment, warning them not to share in its sins.
Joshua 2:18 parallels this family-rescue theme: Rahab's family gathers to her with the scarlet cord so they'll be spared when Jericho is destroyed.
In 1 Samuel 15:6, Saul similarly warns the Kenites to separate from the condemned before judgment falls—a shared pattern of evacuating the innocent.
Jeremiah 51:45 echoes this same urgent command—"Come out of her, my people!"—calling God's people to flee a city before divine judgment destroys it.
Joshua 6:23 shows the rescue executed: Rahab's family is brought out before Jericho falls — the completed version of the same 'gather family before judgment' pattern here.
