The Greek word translated as repent means literally a change of mind; it has nothing to do with the moral picture, which the churches introduced. So 'unless you repent you will all likewise perish' is not a threat of judgement but a statement about states: whatever a man has done, if he changes his mind in this sense, things will change, because he stands at a point on the vertical line of infinite states and may move. Rise within yourself, ignore the former state, assume within yourself that things are as you want them to be, and remain faithful - and the passage of time will unfold it.
