Their souls and ours, however, do live forever. We would have physically lived forever had it not been for Adam's sin.

Just some scriptures to ponder:

Act 24:15: and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

Rev 20:11-15: Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Yes. all are resurrected at the GWTJ. Then the saved go to eternal life and the lost don’t. They go to their eternal punishment, which is death. It is eternal. They stay dead. They are gone and out of the picture. For eternity.

“Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.”

The lampstands are the churches and the lake of fire is the second death according to Revelation. Revelation is a vision crammed with symbolism. The second death is as final as can be imagined when you are tossed into the surface of the sun.
