“Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;”
King James Version (KJV)

That bible portion is self explanatory. The word "destruction" means to destroy, to remove, to cut off, to annihilate, to exterminate, to obiliterate. So when the bible therein, said that the wicked shall under go eternal destruction, it simply mean the wicked shall be destroyed entirely. For instance, let us assume, that you have some of your cloths that are no longer useful to you, when you put them into fire, will the cloths remain the same? NO. The cloths will burn to ashes. Let us also cite the example of noah's day. When the bad people where destroyed, did the bible record that they went to hell fire? No. They were destroyed entirely. So this bible portion suggests total destruction, which means that the wicked wont receive any punishment in any place of torment, rather they will be destroyed. Psalms 37 verses 9, 10, 20, 34, 38.) JEREMIAH 25 verses 31 to 33,) 2PETER 2 Verse 9, ) and PROVERB 2 Verses 21 and 22, Will help Us to understand the meaning of that 2thessalonia 1 verse 6. And also help us to understand that, there is nothing like hell fire. Hell means grave, and not a place meant for bad ppl only, both bad and good people go to bible hell. Example, Jesus . Acts 2 verse 31. And also the thief that died on the tree with Jesus. Luke 23 verse 43. He will be resurrected from the hell or grave. Acts 24 verse 15. Bible said therein, the unjust will be resurrected, which means that thief is among the unjust that will be resurrected in the last day.
