Genesis 10:19

וַ יְהִי גְּבוּל הַ כְּנַעֲנִי מִ צִּידֹן בֹּאֲכָה גְרָרָה עַד עַזָּה בֹּאֲכָה סְדֹמָה וַ עֲמֹרָה וְ אַדְמָה וּ צְבֹיִם עַד לָשַׁע
And he is becoming the boundary of the Humbled from Hunt, coming in Dragged-ward,400 until Fierce401 coming in Sodom-ward, and Gomorrah,402 and Admah, and Zeboim, until Lasha.403
402

the border of the Humbled from Hunt, coming in Drawn-ward, as far as Fierce coming in Sodom-ward, and Gomorrah. As a revelation of the completeness of time, that is, its beginning and end, this tells us something about the end-time situation in front of us. Notice the pairings the Scripture makes: from Hunted, Drawn and from Fierce/Insolent, Sodom. The same language can be found throughout the prophets relating to the End:

A nation fierce [az] of faces, which is not lifting faces to old, and is not showing favor to a boy …” Deuteronomy 28:50 literal

Behold-myself sending forth to fishers abundant, an oracle of Yahweh, and they have fished them; and behind an upright I am sending forth to many hunters, and they have hunted them from over the whole of a mountain, and from over the whole of a hill, and from clefts of the Rock.” Jer. 16:16 literal

Do not draw me away with the wicked and with those making sorrow…” Psalm 28:3 literal

And yourself, Yahweh, you have known me, you are seeing me, and you have tried my heart near thee; tear them away like a sheep to butchered-meat and cause them to be set-apart to a hot-one of slaughter!” Jeremiah 12:3 literal

And growing up is iniquity, built-one of my people, from the miss of Sodom, the overturned-one, like as an instant, and they have not circled in her hands.” Lamentations 4:6 literal

just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in like manner having out-whored them, having gone away behind another-kind [hetero] of flesh are set forth a sample of age-during fire undergoing justice.” Jude 1:7 literal
“And the body of themselves is over the broadway of the Great City, which is called-out spiritually Sodom and Egypt where also the master of themselves was staked” Revelation 11:8 literal

Nineveh and Babylon (Rev. 18:10) are the two Great Cities in Scripture, both identified with Nimrod. And on and on the prophecies go.
