Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down. 10 But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door. 11 And they struck with blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door.
Sodom pressed hard against Lot, but the men God sent to destroy the city rescued him by blinding the sexual predators. Notice that their blindness was not, however, a deterrent to their desires. Sodom feverishly continued trying to get to these two men - so consuming was their desire that they wore themselves out groping for the door. Just as a frightened person in a dark room desperately tries over and over to find the door handle to get out, these men greedily groped to find the entrance into Lot's home and into these men. Sodom was outside in the dark, darkened in their understanding, and seeking greater degrees of darkness inside.
