Hebrews 9:27

Would anyone here please explain this bible verse to me? I'm not 100% sure what it means.

"Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,"

At first glance it looks like everyone dies one time. However, that cant be it, because

1. Some believers of Christ will still be alive on judgment day and will receive eternal life without dying.
2. The Bible has several stories about dead people getting resurrected. This was a very long time ago. Obviously those people died again.
3. The second death is mentioned in revelation.

However, that cant be it, because

Exceptions to the general rule do not turn the rule invalid.
There are also many times that the Scriptures use the word "all" as something general, not as an absolute "all" as in "everyone" or "everything."

 

[Johnnz]

Christ's return will be the one great exception. People brought back to life still died and did not return. Death will be finally abolished when Jesus returns.

Yes but the people who will experience a "second death" are ALOT of people.
