I’m also struck with the fact that so many people are willing to negotiate with God/angels…and it works! Abraham negotiated, asked, pushed. Same here. Lot was given instruction to go to the mountains and he said “well i’d rather go over there” and the angels agreed. What are the implications for us? Can/should we push back on what God asks? What would life for Lot be like if he had done what the angels originally suggested? I’m really surprised how God and the angels relent upon request.
