The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

God rains fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, but rescues Lot's family first — though Lot's wife doesn't make it.

The PatriarchsOld Testament~2067 BCE

justice relationships purpose

Two angels arrive in Sodom and the city's wickedness is immediately on full display. They practically have to drag Lot and his family out by the hand. God destroys both cities with burning sulfur, and Lot's wife looks back despite being told not to, turning into a pillar of salt. It becomes one of the Bible's most referenced warnings about judgment.

GenesisThe Night Everything Burned

Two angels arrive in Sodom to find it even worse than advertised. What follows is one of the Bible's most devastating sequences — a city destroyed, a family barely rescued, and a reminder that the things we choose to live near have a way of getting inside us.
