Biblical Thought for the Day

Why doesn't the Bible ever give Lot's wife's name? The story of her life, & what she represents - looking back & not being able to give up what she had which resulted in her turning into a pillar of salt - its a huge story in the Bible - alot of people know it without even know much about the Bible. But, she doesn't have a name. She's just referred to as 'Lot's wife'. Even Jesus talked about her saying:

30"It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31On that day no one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32Remember Lot's wife! 33Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. (Luke 17:30-33)

Now, we know that Jesus knows everything - He had to know her name, yet he didn't use it - just the same thing we always read - "Lot's Wife"....there must be a reason we don't get her name. I'll be anxious to see what it is once I get to Heaven!

    HE DIDN'T SAY HER NAME BECAUSE IT WAS SO OBVIOUS HE THOUGHT EVERY ONE WOULD KNOW IT. IT WAS MORTON, THE NEW STANDARD VIRSION SHOWS HER WITH HER UMBRELLA AND ALL.
