Remember Lot’s Wife: A Sobering Warning for the Last Days

Male announcer: Previously on “The Endtime Show.”
Dave Robbins: And, you know, as it was in the days of Noah
and Lot.
Think about this, I want to take you back to the days of Noah,
and we’re not gonna do it as some fable, as a lot of people
would like you to believe, not as some kind of children’s
illustration, no, but I wanna do it today as a warning written in
scripture, Jesus Christ’s words for the Last Days.
♪♪♪
Dave: The tragedy of Noah’s generation, it really wasn’t–it
was–well, I should say it was kind of–not all ignorance.
I mean, Noah had warned them that the coming–of the
coming judgment.
It wasn’t really all ignorance, but it was indifference.
It was complacency.
It was pride.
They heard the message, they just chose to reject it.
They thought he was crazy, and Jesus warned us plainly, the
days before his return would look the same.
So the question is not, would you have believed Noah?
My question to you is, are you listening right now in 2026?
Because God’s Word is still warning us of coming judgment.
Doesn’t the Bible say, “He that hath ears to hear, let
him hear”?
There is a–you know, and with–you say, “Well, what do I
do, Dave?
You know, you’re telling me all this stuff, you kind of got me
scared a little bit.”
I’m not really trying to scare you.
I’m just saying you’ve got–this is the day of salvation.
If you’re not prepared, if you’re not heeding the warnings,
and knowing what’s coming, and educating yourself on these
things, getting involved in good Bible teaching, Bible preaching
churches and Bible studies, and seeking this stuff, then you’re
gonna be–many people will just be kind of stuck.
They won’t know, and it’ll be like the people that Jesus
warned us about as in the days of Noah.
You don’t want to be found in that situation, and you say,
“Well, what do I do?”
Well, there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus.
You remember, a ruler of the Jews who came to Jesus by night,
this is in John 3, and he knew Jesus was sent from God, for no
man could do the miracles that God–those kind of miracles that
Jesus was doing except God was with him.
Jesus did not speak to him.
He came to him at night–in the evening in the secret, and Jesus
didn’t speak to him of signs and wonders and all this stuff.
He spoke to him about being ready.
The most important thing on Jesus’s mind, that Nicodemus was
ready to meet the Lord and to be part of the coming kingdom
of God.
So to be Christian, Christ-like, right, Christian.
We all wanna be Christ-like, and so I’m asking you today, is the
most important thing on your mind getting yourself ready for
the come–soon coming of Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God
that we will all face one way or the other–
we’ll either be a part of it or we won’t.
Or–and getting yourself ready and those in your sphere of
influence, you, your friends, your family.
You, your family, your friends, and all of your sphere
of influence.
Jesus immediately said–he speaks of him of being ready.
“Verily, verily I say unto thee, Nicodemus, except a man be
born again, he can’t enter or see the kingdom of God.”
It was the number one thing on Jesus’s mind.
Well, of course, Nicodemus, he’s sitting there with a
fleshly mind.
He’s thinking in the flesh, but–so he didn’t understand.
You know, “What do I gotta do?
Enter again into my mother’s womb and be born again?”
Jesus just had to make it very plain for him, didn’t he?
He said, “That which is born of flesh is flesh, that which is
born of Spirit is spirit.”
Except a man is born of the water and the spirit can’t enter
the kingdom of God, and folks, this is very foundational to the
Christian walk.
This is the beginning of preparation, being born again.
That’s just the very beginning, right, and all of you that have
lived for God for decades or maybe even a year or two, you
know that just being born again, that’s the beginning of it all.
But the Lord also warned, “Watch therefore: for ye know not in
what hour your Lord doth come,” in Matthew 24.
The Son of Man will come as a thief in the night, not
for everybody.
The Son of Man’s gonna come as a thief in the night for those who
do not understand Bible prophecy and have chosen not to pay
attention to the warnings of the end-times.
If the master–the Bible says if, in Matthew 24, if the master
of the house would have known the hour, he would have watched.
“Therefore,” Jesus says, “be ye also ready.”
It’s the number one thing on the Lord’s mind, why?
Because the end is near.
You say, “But that was 2,000 years ago, Dave.”
I understand that, but every generation, the end was near
for them.
They only lived maybe, what, 70, 80, maybe 90 or 100 years if God
just blessed them and they were lucky.
So 100 years in the grand scheme of things, that’s going to go by
like that.
So every generation, and that–and when you pass away,
that’s how you’re gonna meet the Lord.
So the end has been near, now, not the Rapture but how they
would meet the Lord, every generation since then, and so
we’ve all have to be ready.
The–you know, the Lord could come for any one of us at
any hour, and then, of course, but the Rapture is not next.
We’ve got a new video out, you know, obviously, explaining all
of that.
There are still some prophecies to come, but some people would
say, you know, “Oh, that, we’ll just put that off,” and–or,
“We’ll put off preparing for that because that’s–Dave
Robbins at Endtime Ministries said that that was a few
years off.”
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The Bible warns against that.
Jesus warned against that mindset in Matthew 24,
and–because the Lord could come at any hour for any one of
us, folks.
Not–there’s nobody listening to me that you are promised
tomorrow, nobody.
So, “Who then is that faithful and wise servant?”
It is the one who remains obedient, that is sober and
faithful, that has been born again, but the Bible says, “He
that endures to the end, the same shall be saved,” and so you
gotta remain faithful, feeding the household, walking in
righteousness, serving God while waiting on his soon return, but
we got a big job.
We gotta preach and teach the gospel to the entire world
because the end-time’s now.
The Bible says, “Blessed is that servant, whom the Lord finds so
doing when he returns.”
But there’s a big caveat.
“But woe to the servant who says in his heart, ‘Well, my Lord
delays his coming.'”
This is Jesus in Matthew 24, the Olivet Discourse.
“‘My Lord delays his coming; and begins'”–and the Bible says
that that one will begin to live carelessly, giving himself
to–over to sin and violence and drunkenness of spirit.
He just thought–he’s like, “Ah, I’m not worried about that
right now.”
Bible says that servant will be caught unaware, and judgment is
going to come suddenly.
Jesus said, “I will come in an hour that you think not.
Be ye also ready.”
So what must we do, obviously, to prepare?
Be born again like Jesus told Nicodemus, not of the flesh, but
of the Spirit, and for a full explanation of that, go
to endtime– www.endtime.com/reborn.
Yeah, all of the verses, everything’s there, it’s all
laid out for you.
If you need to do something that you haven’t done yet, get a hold
of Endtime Ministries, 1-800-363-8463.
We can help find you a good Bible-believing, Bible teaching
church in your area to help you out with that.
So what do you do?
You gotta heed the words of the Prophet, repent, turn from sin
where there is–while there’s still time, watch and pray,
staying spiritually awake, live faithfully, serve others, obey
Christ, obey his words, obey the Bible.
Align your life up to the Bible.
Don’t delay, saying, “Oh, I’ve got time.
I’m not worried about that,” or don’t mock when somebody teaches
the Word of God and say, “Oh, you know, yeah, right,
Second Coming.
I’ve heard about that since I was a child, or the beginning of
time, and it’s never happened yet.”
Well, that’s what they said before the Flood.
“Oh, I’ve never seen anything like that before.
The world’s never been destroyed by a flood.
That’s the–that’s impossible.”
Oh, no, no.
It was–God gave Noah, a man of righteousness, a word, but
people mocked him and said, “You’re crazy.
You’re building a giant boat out here on dry land.
What are you doing? You’re crazy, Noah.”
Guess what?
They didn’t think that after it’s been raining for a while,
did they?
So don’t delay saying, oh, later, because later is not
promised for any one of us.
Marvel not, Jesus said.
You must be born again.
Marvel not. He said–
Make sure you’re watching, that you’re sober.
The King is coming.
The door is not gonna remain open forever.
Now is the time to be ready, and I–and so I wanna make sure that
I get this across to everybody today.

Dave: So I wanna take you to another moment in scripture that
Jesus himself pointed us to as a sign of the end, and that’s the
days of Lot.
The Bible introduces Sodom and Gomorrah as cities that were
overflowing, not with blessing but with horrible rebellion.
You guys know the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, right?
Genesis 13:13 says, “But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners
before the Lord exceedingly.”
It was beyond, I mean, just horrific, and it was not
hi–think about it.
Jesus said, “Just as it was in the days of Lot.”
Their sin was not hidden.
Think about 2026.
This is how it’s gonna be prior to the Second Coming.
Their sin was not hidden.
It was–they were–they celebrated their sin, they
defended their sin, and it was demanded that people sin along
with them, and yet God did not judge without warning.
He went down there, and he got Lot and his family out, right,
and God told Abraham what was coming.
Abraham stood before the Lord and interceded for those cities.
It was in Genesis chapter 18.
You remember, he pleaded with the Lord again and again.
He asked the Lord, “Would you spare them for 50 righteous?”
It was–man, I’m trying to remember the story.
So it was 50, it went down to–for the Lord said yes for 45
righteous, yes for 40, and then I think it went to 30, 20, and
then, “Lord, would you even do it for 10 righteous?”
And God said, “Yes, I would spare the cities for
10 righteous.”
God said yes every time.
So mercy was willing to stay the judgment if righteousness could
be found, but it wasn’t.
So God sent two angels to Sodom, not to destroy it at first, but
to kind of investigate and to rescue, and they entered the
city at evening time, and the Bible tells us in Genesis 19:1
that, “Lot sat in the gate of Sodom.”
So Lot was living at the gates of a wicked city, not outside
of it.
He shouldn’t have been anywhere near it.
But he was not in there warning Sodom of what was coming.
He was dwelling within it, and Lot, of course, welcomes the
angels into his house, and before the night was over, the
true condition of Sodom was revealed because they were very
just, boisterous and, you know, we–you’re gonna bow to
our demands.
You’re gonna sin, you’re gonna participate in our sin with us,
and so the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, they disregarded God’s
definition of a moral lifestyle by yielding to every sexually
perverse sin.
The Bible says, I think it’s in the book of Jude, “And don’t
forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns which
were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion.
Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of
the eternal fire of God’s judgment.”
That’s, man, Jude 1, I think it’s verse 7.
The prominent sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was the sin
of homosexuality.
This is where the word “sodomy” comes from.
In Genesis 18 through 19, God sent two angels to lead
Abraham’s nephew Lot and his family out of Sodom before it
was destroyed.
The men of the city, being aware of the two male guest were
visiting Lot, surrounded Lot’s home and demanded the men be
made available to them for homosexual acts.
Lot offered his–now this is how far off Lot was.
Lot offered them his two virgin daughters to the men, but they
refused them because they were bound by their homosexual,
lustful desires for men, and this is how the sin of
homosexuality became referred to as sodomy.
Now, folks, it was the enti–all of these cities, the entire
population unified in rebellion.
Lot pleaded with his son-in-laws, right?
He begged them to stop, but scripture says, now I’m down in
Genesis 19:9, and they said, “Stand back!
This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will need
be–needs to be a judge.”
So truth was no longer tolerated in the cities.
Righteousness was an offense.
Think about 2026, guys.
This is where–the Lord said it’s gonna be–“Just as it was
in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, that’s what it’s gonna
be like just prior to my Second Coming.”
Truth was no longer being tolerated there.
Righteousness was offensive to people.
And in that moment the angels revealed themselves.
They struck the men with blindness when they tried to
overtake the angels, and yet even then, scripture says that
they wearied themselves to find the door, and they were so eaten
up with their lustful desires for men even though they were
blind, yet they were still pursuing this sin, and then
the–of course, the warning came.
In Genesis 19:12 through 13, the angels said to Lot, “Haste
that there be any–haste thou here any besides?”
In other words, is there anybody here besides you?
“Son-in-law, thy sons, daughters, bring them out of
this place: For we will destroy this place, because the cry of
them is waxing great before the face of the Lord.”
So Lot ran–he goes out to grab his family, and he told his
son-in-laws judgment’s coming.
Fire was about to fall from heaven, but Genesis 19:14 tells
us that “he seemed as one that mocked unto his son-in-laws.”
They’re like, “Ha, yeah, right, Lot, you’re crazy,” just like
they did Noah.
They didn’t believe him.
They–the warning sounded foolish to them.
The message felt super extreme, right?
“You want us to pull up and leave all our roots here and our
family,” and, Lot was like, “Yeah, the judgment’s fixing to
come,” and they mocked him.
They said, “Yeah, right. You’re crazy.
You’re trying to be some kind of a prophet,” and they were
not prepared.
Well, as morning approached, the angels urged Lot to leave.
Genesis 19:15 says, “Arise, take thy wife, thy two
daughters; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city,”
and as they fled, the angels gave one final command.
Listen to this.
This is be, Genesis 19:17.
“Escape for your life and don’t look back, neither stay thou in
all the plain.”
Well, of course, judgment falls, and in Genesis 19:24 it says,
“Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire
from the Lord out of heaven,” and fire fell where mercy had
been rejected, and the cities were overturned.
Life was just completely erased, and then another warning.
Oh man, Genesis 19:26, “But Lot’s wife looks back from
behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.”
What in the world is she thinking?
I mean, she escapes the fire, but her heart was still
in Sodom.
Oh, man.
I mean, I remember when David prayed, “Lord, create in me a
clean heart.”
Woo, man, that’s my prayer.
Lord, if there’s something in me I don’t even know about, take it
out by the roots, ’cause I want to go to be with the Lord
someday, and Jesus would later warn us of this moment in Luke
chapter 17, verse 32, with just four words.
The Lord said, “Remember Lot’s wife.”
Jesus brought that up because he was like, man, if you get a
chance to get pulled out of the fire, man, don’t look back.
What are you doing?
I–and I just, you know.
Man, if you get a chance, if you get an opportunity, everybody
has an opportunity, but if you get in church, I don’t care what
happens, you stay in church.
Don’t ever run from the church, you run to the church.
Don’t ever run from the Lord’s means of dispensing mercy, you
run to that and don’t ever leave that.
If you’re a backslider, don’t let Satan lie to you and say,
“Oh, you can’t make it back.”
What, whoever told–that’s a lie from Satan.
Don’t you understand Satan’s trying to destroy you?
Backslider, come home.
Get back in church.
It’s your only means of salvation, is to be part of the
body of Christ.
Don’t walk away from the Lord.
Come back to the Lord.
That’s your–that’s safety, and so get ’em, get–involved in a
group of like-minded believers that can help you with your walk
with God and develop a relationsh–a loving
relationship with the Lord so you can make it.
Don’t be like it was in the days of Lot and Noah, that when a man
of God is giving you a warning that you would say, “Ha-ha,
you’re crazy.
I’ve heard about that my whole life, and it hasn’t
happened yet.
I’m doing what I want.”
That’s the way it was in the days of Noah and Lot, folks.
And then, of course, with Sodom the destruction is complete, but
Scripture gives us insight into how God saw the event.
2 Peter chapter 2, verse 6 through 8, it says that God
“condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with an overthrow,
and delivered just Lot, (For that righteous man dwelling
among them, and seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous
soul from day to day).”
So Lot was saved, but man, just by the
skin of his chinny chin chin, right?
And Jesus tells us something chilling in Luke 17:28 through
30, “Likewise also it was in–as it was in the days of Lot, they
ate, they drank, they bought, they were selling, they were
planning, and building, and they just, you know.
But the same day that Lot went up out of Sodom it rained fire
and brimstone from heaven.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man
is revealed.”
“As it was in the days of Noah so shall it also be in the days
of–when the Son of Man is revealed.
Likewise also in the day of Lot.”
Matthew 24, Luke 17, Bible prophecy warns us of events and
societal conditions to watch for, doesn’t it?
My question to you today is, are you watching?
You say, “Dave, oh, we’re–this is nothing like it was in the
days of Noah, in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Oh, really?
I mean, if you look carefully, soberly, and biblically at
what’s happening right now, you can see that we’re there, right?
Number one, think of it.
In the days of Noah, the violence filling the earth.
Genesis chapter 6, verse 11, tells us plainly, “The earth
also was corrupt before the Lord, and the earth was filled
with violence,” and–but violence in Noah’s day was
not rare.
It was embedded in the society.
Well, look at today.
Violence is no longer isolated, it is systemic and global, and
we’re watching major Western cities instruct law enforcement
to stand down during riots while businesses burn.
Think about that.
District attorneys publicly refused to prosecute repeat
violent offenders in the name of equity.
What, mass casualties, think about that.
These mass casualty events are so frequent that they vanish
from the news cycles within days.
Everybody’s got kind of a seared conscience towards some of this
stuff because it’s happened so many times.
Think of these terror attacks and regional wars erupting
simultaneously, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa, and
while escalation in–is openly discussed by world leaders.
Oh, there’s another war cropping up, and we’re all like, ah,
another war.
I’m talking about tens and tens of thousands of people dead, and
many people have just been so desensitized, it doesn’t
resonate with their spirit anymore, why?
Because violence is filling the land, folks.
People are being so desensitized, and think
about movies.
You think movies don’t desensitize people?
When you watch enough killing and all this other stuff, then
when it happens in real life, everybody’s like, oh, that?
You know, that’s just another 10,000 dead, another
30,000 dead.
Jesus said that would be the way it’s gonna be just prior to my
Second Coming, and the defining marker is not merely violence.
It is the tolerance and normalization of violence.
In Noah’s day violence became culturally accepted, and so has
ours in 2026 to most people, not everybody.
Number two, sexual immorality legislated, celebrated,
and enforced.
Think about the days of Lot.
Jesus said, “Likewise also it was as it was in the days
of Lot.”
That’s Luke–shoo, man, I just went through it here,
Luke 17:28.
Sodom was not destroyed because of some kind of
private temptation.
It was destroyed because sexual perversion became aggressive,
coercive, and untouchable.
Genesis 19 shows us that immorality became the identity
of the city, not some kind of a fringe behavior that was
happening down in the red light district, oh no.
It was celebrated by society, and so do we have any
modern parallels?
The modern parallels are not subtle.
Think about it, governments, supposedly with developed
nations, governments–supposed educated people–governments
that are redefining biological sex.
Oh, a child five years old, think a boy that was born a
biological male, he can decide he’s a girl.
What’s wrong with that?
What do you mean what’s wrong with that?
It’s nonsense.
It’s not physically possible for a boy that’s born a male to
become a girl.
I don’t care if they–how many surgeries they do.
But yet they will tell a young child that, and some parents go
along with it–Sodom and Gomorrah.
And they would compel schools and businesses and churches to
comply under the threat of punishment with it.
Children are exposed to explicit sexual content in public schools
without parental consent.
Medical systems chemically and surgically alter healthy minors
while silencing dissenting doctors and those who object on
biblical or even scientifical– scientific grounds.
There–many times they’ve been fired, they’ve been fined, they
have been erased.
In Genesis 19, Sodom demanded affirmation, not tolerance, and
disagreements–disagreement is no longer allowed, and
that’s–this is what they’re pushing for.
Silence is no longer sufficient.
Participation is almost–it’s almost demanded.
If somebody want–if a male, a man, wants to be–to say he’s a
woman, they want you to call him a personal pronoun, a she or her
when it makes no sense at all, or they, them, which is a
reference to plurality.
Jesus said, “Just as it was in the days of Noah, just as it was
in the days of Lot, that’s what it’s gonna be like just prior to
my Second Coming.”
So my question to you, everybody, don’t let it be for
you like it was in the days of Noah and Lot.
Heed the warnings.
Make sure you’re ready to go.
Make sure like Jesus told Nicodemus that you’ve been
born again.
Go to endtime.com/reborn, read the brochure, and then if you
need to do anything, call Endtime Ministries,
1-800-363-8463, and we can walk you through it, help you find a

the days of Noah and Lot in your own life.
