Scripture Gives a real example of Eternal Fire in Sodom!

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:7

Sodom and Gomorrha are an example, suffering the vengeance of “eternal fire”! Now here we have a comprehensive picture of what the Bible means when it says “aionios pur” or “eternal fire”. First of all, the fire stopped burning after a few days, everyone was dead within moments. But does the Bible talk about Sodom and Gomorrha after this demise? As a matter of fact, it does! God is chewing out Judah through the prophet Ezekial. Listen to what he says!

Eze 16:46 … thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters. 47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways. 48 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. …

It’s clear that we are talking about the same Sodom.

53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:

Wait a minute… bring again their captivity? Like when Jesus led captivity captive?

54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them. 55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

The same Sodom that is an example of eternal torment? Returning to their former estate along with wicked Judah? How can eternal torment include "returning to their former estate"?

…60 ¶ Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

Ah, “Nevertheless I” says the Lord. I will establish an everlasting covenant unto thee. (For by grace are ye saved and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.)

61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, (repentance) when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. 62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: … when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

At some time in the future, God makes reference to a time when He will be pacified for ALL the evil things done by Judah, and God is no respecter of persons.

This occurs right after Judah comes to knowlege of who the Lord is, and scripture says:

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
