I don't know of a third option. My view is the second option because that is what is indicated here:Does anyone have a third option?
The Second Death: Annihilationism or Eternal Torture?
The Lake of Fire is the Second Death, what does that mean?
Revelation 14:12 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.
I don't believe this is talking about people being literally burned (this text is contained in the most highly symbolic book in the Bible), but it seems clear that they will experience conscious torment of some kind for eternity.
