Genesis 19:22 Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
In Genesis Lot was told to flee from Sodom so that they Lord could destroy it.
This verse is where the angel of the Lord is telling Lot to escape.
If you notice the angel of the Lord tells Lot that he cannot do "anything" until Lot is safely away. The word "anything" here is refering to a previous verse that states the angels were sent to Sodom to destroy it.
The angels that were sent by the Lord obviously had orders not to destroy the city until Lot was safely away from it.
Sodom (being a very sinful city) can oftentimes represent our own sins. It can represent those things that we all seem to struggle with.
We need to come out of our sins, out of our own spiritual Sodom so that they Lord can destroy it and it's stronghold of bondage in our life.
