It’s not a threat it’s a Promise 10 out of ten people die. For lost souls and born again believers in Jesus Christ, it is the beginning of eternity.  For the condemned unbelievers it is a threat of the second death, eternal damnation and torment in hell, where they will pay for their own sins. But for the saved death is not a threat, it’s a promise. The promise of salvation and eternal life in heaven with God. Psalm 105:41-45 Acts 13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: Romans 4:13 -25 Acts 2:38 -39 Galatians 3:9 -14
