Johanan Ben Zakkai, a disciple of Hillel, said something that scares me:
** If I were being taken today before a human king who is here today and tomorrow in the grave, whose anger if he is angry with me does not last forever, who if he imprisons me does not imprison me forever and who if he puts me to death does not put me to everlasting death, and whom I can persuade with words and bribe with money, even so I would weep. Now that I am being taken before the supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, who lives and endures forever and ever, whose anger, if He is angry with me, is an everlasting anger, who if He imprisons me imprisons me forever, who if He puts me to death puts me to death for ever, and whom I cannot persuade with words or bribe with money — nay more, when there are two ways before me, one leading to Paradise and the other to Gehinnom, and I do not know by which I shall be taken, shall I not weep?

After I read that, I though that the teaching of annihilation of the soul in the mishna is something who come in the second or third century. Maybe Rabbi Akiva was the one who put the idea of annihilation of the soul in the second century. But then I read this from Farrar´s Mercy and Judgament:
So the sayings of Hillel in the Mishná are recorded from the first century? I have doubts because Zakkai was a pupil of Hillel and he was an ECT suporter. There was an School of Hillel in the second century who develop the doctrine of annihilation of the soul?
I read that Zakkai was the one who added the teachings of Hillel and Shammai in the Mishná. Is this true?
