The two then urge Lot to take his family away from the city, stating that they are
about to destroy Sodom.
The night is over and at dawn, the two malakhìms once more invite Lot to flee
with his family, because they can no longer wait; the devastation is imminent.
The two messengers of the Lord - who we remember stopped at Abraham's to
explain to him the reasons why they had decided to destroy this city -

occurs with “burning sulfur by-from Yahweh out of the heavens” (19:24), and
Lot's wife becomes a pillar of salt after having violated the order not to stop
and look back, etc.
So this is the real story of those events that official religion traditionally

Individuals whose difference from men are evident, who are provided with
superior powers but not omnipotent, who are often vulnerable, attackable
and, above all, subject to the normal daily physiological needs!
Tobit and the “wage earning” Angel

This text is part of the Christian Bible (the Septuagint and Latin Vulgate), but
has not been accepted by the Hebrew canon and is considered apocryphal by
