I have often wondered why God sent two angels to visit Sodom. He sent only Jonah to Nineveh, but there were 12 and 72 that Jesus sent out to Israel. Most other angelic appearances in the Bible are solo, save the chorus that proclaimed God’s greatness to the shepherds outside of Bethlehem. So why did God send two angels to Sodom? I think one reason might be that God knew he would need only 4 hands. In 19:16 we see that when Lot and his small family hesitated the angels grabbed each one by the hand and drug them out of the city. There was only Lot, his wife, and his two daughters. God sent exactly what was need to deliver his people in exactly the right way and the perfect time. Will he not do the same thing for modern believers?
