Contextual Overview

20 Upon the Pharisees asking him, when the kingdom of God should come, he answer'd them, the kingdom of God is not usher'd in with pomp and exclamations, 21 as see here! or see there! for even now the kingdom of God is commenc'd among you. 22 At length he said to his disciples, the time will come, when ye will wish to see the son of man appear, and shall not see him. 23 they will tell you, here he is, or, he is there: but don't go out to follow them; 24 for as the lightning flashes from one extremity of the sky to the other, so shall the appearance of the son of man be. 25 but before this, he must undergo many sufferings, and be rejected by this generation: 26 the same thing shall happen in the son of man's time as did in Noah's days. 27 eating and drinking, marriages and matches was the business till the very day that Noah entred into the ark, when the flood came and overwhelm'd them all. 28 and as it was in the days of Lot, they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building: 29 but the very day that Lot went out of Sodom, a storm of lightning and thunder fell from heaven and destroy'd them all.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Remember Lot's wife. Whose name by the Jews, is said to be Adith, as some s; or Irith, as others t: and who, they also say, was a native of Sodom; and that the reason of her looking, was either to see what would be the end of her father's house and family u; or as others w, because her heart yearned after her daughters, and she looked back to see if they followed her; upon which she became a pillar of salt, Genesis 19:26 They say x, that her bones were burnt with the brimstone, and along with which was salt, into which she was turned, according to Deuteronomy 29:23. They often speak of

מלח סרומית, "salt of Sodom" y; where the gloss says, it is thick and hard, as a stone; and to which they sometimes z ascribe this virtue, that it blinds the eyes: and there is a sort of salt, which they call a Galilaean salt, of like hardness; and Pliny b speaks of salt in the Indies, which they cut out, as stones out of quarries; and that, at Carthis, a town in Arabia, is salt with which they build houses and walls: of a very durable nature it is certain, was this pillar of "salt", Lot's wife became; for Josephus reports c, that he saw this pillar of salt in his time; and Irenaeus asserts d, that it was in being when he lived; and modern writers, as Burchardus and Adrichomius, speak of it as still existing; and the Jerusalem "paraphrast" on Genesis 19:26 says it shall endure till the time the resurrection comes, in which the dead shall live: the reason of her becoming a pillar of salt, the Jews say, is, that she sinned by salt, and so was punished by salt; and which is differently related, and in a very fanciful way: one writer f reports, that when the angels came, Lot said to her, give me a little salt for these travellers; she replied to him, truly this is a bad custom, which thou bringest to be used in this place; and elsewhere g it is said, that upon their coming, she went to all her neighbours, and said to them, give me some salt, for we have travellers; but her intention was, that the men of the city might know them: but leaving those things, our Lord's design in these words, is to instruct his followers by this instance, not to look back in their flight, or to turn back to their houses, to save their goods, when the desolation of Jerusalem was coming on, lest they should suffer in it; and to warn all professors of religion, in all ages, against looking back to things that are behind, or turning their backs on him, in a time of distress and persecution; since such are not fit for the kingdom of God; and in these God has no delight and pleasure.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Remember Lot’s wife - See Genesis 19:26. “She” looked back - she delayed - perhaps she “desired” to take something with her, and God made her a monument of his displeasure. Jesus directed his disciples, when they saw the calamities coming upon the Jews, to flee to the mountains, Matthew 24:16. He here charges them to be in haste - not to look back - not to delay - but to escape quickly, and to remember that by delaying the wife of Lot lost her life.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. Remember Lot's wife. — Relinquish every thing, rather than lose your souls. She looked back, Genesis 19:26; probably she turned back also to carry some of her goods away - for so much the preceding verse seems to intimate, and became a monument of the Divine displeasure, and of her own folly and sin. It is a proof that we have loved with a criminal affection that which we leave with grief and anxiety, though commanded by the Lord to abandon it.
