But since God is the source of life and all good things, being cut off from him means death and hell. God's judgement against rebels is an everlasting, God-less death. This is a terrible thing, to fall under the sentence of God's judgement. It is a prospect we all face, since we are all guilty of rebelling against God. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power.
Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.
If not for God's own miraculous intervention, we would be.
