The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers — does Jude 7 bar the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah from a resurrection?”

1 August 1965 · p.479 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“So apparently individuals who used to live in that land will be resurrected.—Rev. 20:12, 13. … apparently it was not the people but the cities themselves that were everlastingly destroyed.”

Reasoning from Matthew 11:23-24 that inhabitants must be present on Judgment Day.
