Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse speaks of "destroying him that remaineth of the city," which could be interpreted as a military conquest or subjugation rather than a complete annihilation or perishing in the sense of divine judgment.

Dominion Over Creation

This verse focuses on a human figure exercising dominion over other humans ("destroy him that remaineth of the city"), not on the relationship between humanity and the earth or creation, which is the core of the "Dominion vs Stewardship" theme.
