What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Was there, before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, a triple angelic message that warned of the magnitude of the sins, announced the judgment, and called for leaving the cities?"
Answer
Before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, God sent angels who warned Lot and his family to leave the city immediately, as God's judgment was imminent. The city's inhabitants and even Lot's sons‑in‑law mocked the warnings and did not recognize the seriousness of their sins nor the approaching destruction. The provided documents mention an urgent angelic message to flee, but they do not draw an explicit parallel to a “triple” angelic message in the specific context of Sodom.
The Angels' Warning Before the Destruction
»And Lot went out and pleaded with his children. He repeated the angel's words: "Get up, flee from this place, for the Lord will destroy this city." But he appeared to his sons‑in‑law as one who mocked; for they had lived so long in Sodom that they shared in the people's sins. ... They could not believe that it was possible for beautiful Sodom, a rich and fertile land, to be destroyed by the wrath of a sin‑calling God. ... Then the angels commanded him to rise, to take his wife and the two daughters who were still in his house, and to leave the city. ... When he hesitated, God's angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters and led them out of the city, urging them to flee for their lives, not to look back nor linger in the whole plain, but to flee to the mountains.«
Separation from Sin as a Model for the End Times
»Before the destruction of Sodom, God sent a message to Lot: "Save your life; do not look back, nor remain in the whole plain; flee to the mountains so that you will not be consumed." ... There was an escape, a decisive separation from the ungodly, a flight for life. It was so in the days of Noah; it was so with Lot; it was so with the disciples before the destruction of Jerusalem; and it will be so in the last days. Again the voice of God is heard in a warning message that calls His people to separate themselves from prevailing injustice.«
Urgency of Flight and the Approaching Judgment
»Save your life" is the warning from God's angels; but other voices are heard saying, "Do not be alarmed; there is no reason for concern." ... On the night before their destruction, the cities of the plain reveled in pleasure and mocked the fears and warnings of God's messenger; but those mockers perished in the flames; that night the door of grace was closed forever for the godless, carefree inhabitants of Sodom.«
