This story makes me think of this:
From Revelations 9:6
During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
Perhaps when Christ died on the cross to give us eternal
life, just maybe He gave it to all; just that some do not
accept Him and reap what they sow. (Otherwise, that is a
very puzzling verse.)
That’s a pretty scary line. wow.
