Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse describes a consequence for approaching the tabernacle, not necessarily the fate of the wicked in general, and the question "shall we be consumed with dying?" expresses fear rather than a direct statement of destruction.

Earthly Sanctuary System

The verse focuses on the consequence of approaching the tabernacle (death) and the people's fear, rather than detailing the structure, sacrificial system, or priesthood of the earthly sanctuary itself.
