So is heaven temporary too? Is it destroyed after the Last Judgment?

I don’t think so.

And likewise, neither is hell.

No, only hell is thrown into the “lake of fire”. Heaven is described as “eternal life”. That is, being alive. Eternally.

And the fate of those that do not receive eternal life are described in various ways. Some common uses are death, destruction, perish, and “eternal punishment.

So the punishment is eternal, and it is described as death, destruction and perish (among other similar words). So they will be dead, destroyed, or have perished. For eternity.

Eternal life = being alive, for all eternithy.

Eternal death = being dead, for all eternity. And as is typical of the bible to make a strong point, it is said in many ways that people can understand. When I say a company has been destroyed, is dead, or has perished - for all eternity - everyone knows what I mean. Likewise the fate of the lost.

Likewise the eternal nature of the fate of the lost. “Unquenchable fire”, “worm shall not die”, etc. The fate is eternal. It will not change. The fate has utter finality. i.e. they ain’t a comin’ back.
