Two men followed a third into the heart of the city of Sodom to the latter's home. They were unaware of the three people that followed them that warm evening. Isaiah led Rose and the Doctor as they followed the trio of men.
"So that guy is the cousin of Jacob?" Rose asked, trying to get her facts straight.
"Not Jacob, but Jacob's father - Isaac." Isaiah told her.
"And you said his name was Lot?" the Doctor asked.
"That is correct." Isaiah answered. "Those two men following him are angels of God."
"They look like normal men." Rose said.
"So do Time Lords." the Doctor countered.
"We are here for your next lesson: The Wrath of God." Isaiah said as he stopped a few yards from the house that Lot led the two men into.
"Why are we stopping here?" Rose asked.
"We mustn't enter the house." Isaiah told them. "Only those two angels are meant to be in the building. I cannot enter it."
"But I thought you said that we don't have a physical presence here." the Doctor interjected.
"Indeed we do not." Isaiah confirmed. "However, the angels are aware that we are here, even now. I am not of this time; therefore I cannot interfere in the occurrence of this event."
"So, now what?" Rose questioned.
"We wait as events take place." Isaiah answered.
"Why don't we just travel through time to the next part?"
"We could, however, I would imagine that you both are hungry."
After Isaiah said this, Rose realized just how hungry she actually was. She figured that the excitement caused her to pay it no attention. So she was glad when Isaiah produced a small bag from his robe. It contained some bread and a few small fish, which Rose was surprised to find warm. As her and the Doctor ate, they noticed that Isaiah wasn't eating. As if reading their minds, he explained.
"I do not require sustenance." he told them.
After they had finished, Isaiah produced a flask of water, which Rose and the Doctor shared to wash down the food.
"Thank you." they told Isaiah.
"Of course." he responded. After a few more minutes of waiting, he spoke again. "Now we must go, for it is time."
They stood and Rose and the Doctor followed Isaiah as he led them to Lot's house. When they got there, they found dozens of men of all ages surrounding the house, trying to break in.
"What are they doing?" Rose asked.
"They are after the angels." Isaiah answered. "They wish to commit vile, immoral acts of sin with the two."
Rose then watched, horrified, as the men tried to force Lot - who had come to convince them to leave – out of the way. Then, the two angels reached out and pulled Lot back into the house. Suddenly, the group of men seemed to erupt in confusion, staggering and falling about.
"What just happened?" Rose questioned.
"They're blind." the Doctor answered, as he watched the men and recognized the source of their affliction. "But how?"
"The angels struck them with blindness in order to confuse them." Isaiah explained. Then they moved forward in time, to the morning.
As they continued to watch, a back door of the house opened. The angels came out with Lot and three women behind them. There was one older woman and two young ones. Rose guessed that they were Lot's family. They followed the six people outside of the city. The angels told Lot and his family to flee and not look back. They had told Lot to flee to the mountains.
"Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die." Lot pleaded. "Now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there that my life may be saved"
The angel responded, "Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken. Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there."
The three time-travelers followed Lot away from Sodom and into the hills towards Zoar. Suddenly, they heard sounds of destruction. Rose and the Doctor whipped around to see what was causing the noise. They were shocked to see fire raining down on Sodom from the sky. Great fireballs destroyed buildings and crops alike. They could also hear the sounds of the dying as the city was purged from the Earth. Isaiah touched them on their shoulders, snapping them back to the present as they continued to follow Lot and his family. Then, ahead of them, they saw Lot's wife turn around. As soon as she faced the city, she turned into a pillar of salt. Rose's hand flew to her mouth as she was struck by the horror of the woman's fate.
"What happened to her?" the Doctor demanded.
"She turned back. She did not want to leave the city, sinful as it was." Isaiah explained. "She did not want to follow God's instructions, so she was turned into a pillar of salt, so that she could never leave."
"That's horrible!" Rose said as she found her voice.
"Horrible but necessary." Isaiah said. "She paid the price for her disobedience."
The rest of the journey progressed in silence. After a while of walking, they reached a cave, which Lot and his daughters entered.
"Our journey with Lot ends here." Isaiah said. "Now I hope you understand what would have happened to those people if Jonah had been sent to Ninevah."
"But you said that they only lived right for a few generations." Rose mentioned. "What happened then?"
"The city was destroyed." Isaiah told her. "Just like Sodom and her sister city of Gomorrah."
"Wiped from the Earth, never to be rebuilt." the Doctor said quietly.
"That is correct." Isaiah confirmed. "They were never reconstructed. But now is not the time for sentiment. We must travel to our next destination. This time we shall visit another of the Prophets. This one is perhaps the greatest Prophet of us all."
