Well Alan I'm sorry but I do not see why you believe that any soul is anything less than eternal in nature. There were two places of "holding" prior to the work of Christ and the resurrection. Jesus mentions them in tha parable about Lazarus and the "unnamed" wicked rich man. (God forgets the names of the wicked.) One place of comfort was "Abraham's bosom" after the resurrection and judgement this place was abolished and those who "rested" there went to an eternal place called Heaven. Now we both agree so far - I think.... But there was another place of holding - a place of torment. According to you this place either 'was' or 'will be' thrown into the Lake of Fire and all those souls will cease to exist. My question is - where did you get that from. Why does one place of holding become eternal and the other place of holding not become eternal? There is no promise that someday nowhere in the universe will evil exist is there? I think this is wishful thinking and nothing more. I think it is because men can not bare the reality of God who will in fact punish eternally those who have done wickedly. I do not see where the bible teaches this cessationist thinking.
