Lot lived in Sodom, a city so wicked that not ten good men could be found there. One evening two angels came to Lot, to tell him that God was going to destroy the wicked city and to warn him to flee in the morning with his wife and daughters. Lot and his family heeded the angel’s warning and fled to Zoar, a city near by. Then God rained down fire and brimstone upon Sodom, until it was burned to ashes. Lot and his two daughters were saved, but Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt, because she looked back at the burning city. This the angels had warned them not to do.
