2 Peter 2:1 NASB

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will
also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce
destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them,
bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

This is a question regarding Annihilationism verses Eternal Conscious Torment (ECT). Is the "swift destruction" referring to the length of the destruction in hell (the punishment is not everlasting or lengthy but rather swift), or is it referring to an imminent destruction (destruction that is soon to come to these false prophets and teachers)?
