A/N: I want to thank those who read and reviewed my story. I can't believe that people liked the story. And I also want to thank my two beta readers that I can't acknowledge by name since they aren't members of this site yet. That being said, here's Chapter 2!
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or The Bible
"What is impossible sir?" Mary asked.
"Oh, it's nothing important." The Doctor lied. "No offense, but he doesn't look much like you."
"It's okay." Joseph said. "I was actually thinking the same thing."
"Glad to hear that I'm not completely crazy." The Doctor said quickly. "We have to leave now, so good luck and congratulations!"
The Doctor turned and walked out of the cave before anyone could say anything.
"Sorry about that." Rose said. "He acts really strange sometimes. It was really nice meeting you."
Rose smiled at them and followed the Doctor out of the cave. When she reached the outside, she saw that the Doctor was already walking down
the street in the direction of the TARDIS. She ran after him and caught up quickly.
"That was rather impolite you know." she said to him. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing at all." He told her sarcastically. "This is how I act when something I've believed for hundreds of years turns out to be wrong."
"What do you mean?" she asked.
He stopped and turned to face her.
"Rose," he began, "do you know who that child was?"
"Mary said his name was Jesus." Rose answered.
"That's right. Now does anything about that name seem familiar to you?" he asked.
"Kind of." she responded. "But I'm not completely sure."
"Rose," the Doctor said, deciding to spell it out for her, "if that child is who his name suggests he is, then he is the one that people think is the Son
of God!"
"Son of God?" she questioned. Like the Doctor, Rose did not believe in a God.
"Yes," he told her, "Son of God, which means that there really is a God!"
"That's impossible!" she told him.
"Funny." he said. "I remember being criticized for saying something similar."
"At least I didn't say it in front of the family of the boy!" Rose said indignantly. "On second thought, it doesn't matter. We'll just go back to the
TARDIS and figure this out in the morning."
"Gladly." the Doctor responded.
The two of them made their way back to the field, arriving at the TARDIS fairly quickly. However, the TARDIS was not alone. An elderly man sat
cross-legged on the ground near the TARDIS. He had gray, shoulder-length hair, and a long, gray beard. He wore a dark red robe and sandals.
"Who're you?" the Doctor questioned.
"I am the prophet Isaiah." The man answered as he stood up. "You must be the Doctor and Rose Tyler."
"How do you know our names?" Rose asked. "We've just met you."
"I know many things, Rose Tyler, born April 27th, 1987." Isaiah told her as he turned to face her. "You are the daughter of Peter and Jackie Tyler.
Your father was killed in an accident a few months after your birth. In 2006, you met the Doctor when he saved your life from an extraterrestrial
being. You have traveled across time and space with him ever since."
Rose was too stunned to reply.
"Now Doctor," Isaiah said turning from Rose to the Doctor, "I trust I do not have to explain myself to you?"
"No." the Doctor responded.
"Excellent." Isaiah said. "Now we must be off."
"What do you mean?" Rose asked.
"Well," Isaiah said turning toward her once again, "I was sent to guide the two of you through history, so that you may understand the magnitude
of what you have witnessed tonight."
"Sent by whom?" she asked.
"I was sent by the one true God, that you may believe in Him." Isaiah told them.
"How do we know you're telling the truth?" Rose asked
"You will know by the end of our journey together." Isaiah answered.
"Who says we're going to travel with you?" the Doctor said.
"Ah, yes." Isaiah said turning to the Doctor. "I assumed that you would ask that question. I'm afraid that you have no choice but to travel with me
Doctor."
"Says who?" the Doctor responded. "I don't have to let you aboard my TARDIS, so unless you've got one of your own, then we're not going
anywhere."
"I never said that we would be traveling by your methods, Doctor." Isaiah told him.
Isaiah raised his hands and a bright flash of light enveloped the three of them.
