2 Peter 2:9 (KJV)  The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 

2 Peter 2:5 (KJV)  And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 

Noah lived in a violent pre-flood world. God’s judgment was to come. God appointed that Noah build an ark to escape the judgment to come.

2 Peter 2:6-7 (KJV)  And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 

In the days leading to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, God warned Abraham and Abraham pleaded for God’s mercy upon the city because Lot, his nephew was there.

God rescued Lot but his wife was not spared the judgment. She loved Sodom. Luke 17:32 (KJV)  Remember Lot’s wife.

Indeed, Luke 17:33 (KJV)  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Amen.
