Genesis 19: verse 9. Was the sojourn that entered Lots house Jesus?

Maybe. Because only two angels entered the city. I guess Jesus was busy tossing those fireballs down.

As you would have read from the previous chapter ( Gen 18) that the Lord God appeared to Abraham by the visit of three men. Their purpose was to announce that Sarah would bear a child in her old age (v 10) & the sins of Sodom & Gomorrah had come before the Lord (vv 20-22).

Then in Genesis 19, we read of two angels who visit Sodom & their visit is directly connected to the events of Gen 18. Lot invites these men of God to his house & later the wicked men of Sodom come banging on Lot's door. Lot pleads with them that these are his visitors & not to harm them. But they replied to Lot, "You came to live amongst us & you now want to tell us what to do?" So, they were speaking to Lot's coming to live with them & no one else. But as far as the angels visiting Lot, they were God's messengers to deliver this indictment against the cities & to rescue Lot, his wife & two daughters. Some believe that Jesus was one of the angels but there's nothing to indicate that this was a Christophany but simply God's messengers to warn Lot.
