As for everlasting destruction meaning a burning fire, not sure what that means. The bible (old and new) uses fire as the metaphor for God's destruction of the wicked. John saw a lake of fire. Daniel saw a river of fire. Jesus spoke of a burning garbage dump. Isaiah spoke of everlasting burnings. Seems pretty clear

Reminds me of this:
Psalms 21:9
9Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Kind of making a long story short. The fire devours or "consumes".
