You will also see that the meaning of the verse indicates that the city will be completely and utterly destroyed.

If you don't take thing literaly then anything can mean anything.
For example, did you know that the New Testament quotes from the Book of Enoch, a book known to have been written centuries after the events it describes and that is not part of the Old Testament as if it were part of it?.
Check the letter of John if you don't believe me.

Anything and not mean anything. That is only if you look at one verse and one verse only to try and get the meaning of it. To understand the Bible you must look through the whole thing and derive how it is speaking. Some parts of the Bible are literal, others are sybolic, it all depends on the context it is in.
