Not in the Bible anywhere. Nor do the Hebrew and Greek words used for the punishment of the wicked, ever support "annihilation", at any time. This is all pure conjecture and wishful thinking!

For those who suppose that words like "destroy", have the meaning "annihilate", should take note of the following.
In Genesis 19:29 we read: "Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived", which is speaking of the "destruction" of Sodom. The Hebrew word "shachath", is never used for "annihilation". Jesus refers to this in Luke 17:29, "but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all", where again the Greek "ἀπόλλυμι" (destroyed) never is used for "annihilation".
If, as some suppose that "destruction" equates to "annihilation", then how can they answer the fact, that over 2000 years after God destroyed Sodom, that Jesus in the Gospels says, "Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city" (Matthew 10:15). How can these people who were "annihilated" in the Book of Genesis, be there on Judgement Day? Likewise in Jude 1:7 we read, "just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire". Where the word "undergoing" in the Greek, "ὑπέχουσαι", is in the "present, continuance tense", showing that when Jude was written, they we STILL SUFFERING. -

We are done Andy, I provided two of many examples, and some of the Lexicon's you mentioned include "do away with completely."

You did not ask, you did not receive.
You did not go and seek, you did not find.
You simply dismissed it ALL as not creditable.
I gave a long post....
You said;

If you actually thought you had scriptural support for that post you would have included it.
Why? You are the one who claims yourself with the title "Reverend". I do not presume anyone parading with a TITLE of Reverend is a baby, lacking basic knowledge of scripture, to ignorant to know how to seek in scripture and verify what they hear, or ASK the speaker of a portion of the text they are ignorant of and do not comprehend.
Sorry. I gave you too much credit, based on the title you have attached to your identity.
That "credit" was quickly changed, when you proved yourself incapable of addressing ANY particular point I stated, and proved yourself incapable to searching the Scriptures yourself, and proved yourself
in opposition to scripture, when I took ONE point of mine and gave you the verifying scripture, to which you continued and still continue to make your objection.
It didn't really matter IF I looked up EVERY SINGLE SCRIPTURE FOR YOU.....
I did ONE as an example....and YOU STILL DENY, and YOU STILL claim...
Whinny lazy people are about as pleasant as a pebble in my shoe. :( -

I don't care what you presume. Have a nice day and good luck with your unscriptural posts.

Let's just make our case, disagree and move on. Good grief. -

And why did you claim none of the Lexicons have as a meaning of "destroy" G622 as "destroy, i.e. to put out of the way entirely, abolish, put an end to, ruin." (Thayers)
