I will answer with this; Jude 1:7 "just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are an exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire"
Ezekiel 16:53-54 " Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters , will return to their former state, and you with your daughters will also return to your former state"
Sodom was said to be burned with eternal fire but they are restored, this is what God does, he restores.
Apokatastasis from Acts 3:21 In Jesus Christ is the restoration of all things.
Just because to us it looks like being burned with eternal fire is the end, not so with God.
yeah it’s a reference to restoration of the cities, not the original inhabitants. Hence the references to the sisters and the use of the word her. The daughters refer to the smaller surrounding communities. And your explanation doesn’t address the destruction that takes place in the lake of fire nor the destruction that is said to be their end that they shall not escape.
