First off not all Christians are the same in their teachings. Most (a big most) teach of heaven and hell but a few teach reconcilation and annilhilation. That judgement day is more than a quick lineup where, like in the concentration camps someone looks at you and gestures with their thumb wether you're going left or right.
That during this age, God chooses to open a persons eyes to see, ears to hear and grants repentance as first fruits of His work. That all other's are the greater second harvest, who die wether through their own misjudgement or by the Cain's of this world. To sleep til they are given fleshly life again, in the age to come.
That Eze 37 is not an allegory,
That will be the first time salvation is offered to them where the can see it, hear it for what it truly is. A more in depth "theological explaination" is found here under the term
apocatastasis. It's written in fairly plain english, with hardly any million dollar words.
But mostly if I were to just sum it up, the sufferings of this brief life is a reminder to us what it's like to live without God. That without Him we can't even find Him, but He's not going to abandon us to our own devices, He will personally intervene to show what exactly His intentions are, even to those who never held a Bible in their hands. That He did send Jesus who likewise suffered in a brutal manner as the example to follow.
