When the Lord devastates Moab, the fugitives from Moab will flee to Zoar (Isaiah 14:5).
It’s a meaningful flight, for Zoar is a city near Sodom, toward which Lot fled when the Lord destroyed the cities of the plain. Now the cities of the plain of Moab are being destroyed, and people flee along the pathway of Lot.
And, of course, the flight to Zoar is Moab’s flight back to her origins, for above the city of Zoar was a cave in which Lot conceived Moab and his daughter bore him (Genesis 19).
