Every scripture that carries the one message carries the same end: death once, a barrier until the resurrection, judgement by one's own works, Paradise with rivers of milk and honey, Hell for those who broke GOD's law. The Rigveda's funeral hymn sends the dead to "the world of the virtuous" and gives them a body; the Atharvaveda's heaven has "streams of butter, with their banks of honey… and milk"; Daniel says "many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake" (Daniel 12:2 — requested, absent from the notes); Jesus says resurrected persons "neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels" (Luke 20:36) and "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27); the Quran says "A barrier will separate his soul from this world until resurrection" (23:100) and "Every person tastes death, then you receive your recompense on the Day of Resurrection" (3:185). Ezekiel's "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father" (18:20) is the Quran's "No soul bears the sins of another soul" (53:38).

Hindu (Rigveda) — resurrection with a bodyReasonable reading
Rigveda 10:16:4–5 (as quoted)
"…with those glorious members which thou hast given him, Jatavedas, bear him to the world (of the virtuous)." / "…Putting on (celestial) life, let the remains (of bodily life) depart; let him, Jatavedas, be associated with a body." (sukṛtām u lokam)
The Final Testament
[36:78] …"Who can resurrect the bones after they had rotted?" [36:79] Say, "The One who initiated them in the first place will resurrect them…" [75:3] Does the human being think that we will not reconstruct his bones? [75:4] Yes indeed; we are able to reconstruct his finger tip.
"May all these streams of butter, with their banks of honey, flowing with distilled water, and milk and curds and water reach thee in domestic life enhancing thy pleasure…" / "Bereft of physical bodies, pure, cleansed with the wind, brilliant, they go to a brilliant world…" / "…Those having unflinching faith attain this abode of happiness…"
The Final Testament
[47:15] The allegory of Paradise that is promised for the righteous is this: it has rivers of unpolluted water, and rivers of fresh milk, and rivers of wine - delicious for the drinkers - and rivers of strained honey. They have all kinds of fruits therein, and forgiveness from their Lord… [56:25–26] They never hear any nonsense therein, nor sinful utterances. Only the utterance: "Peace, peace."
Hindu (Rigveda) — HellReasonable reading
Rigveda 4:5:4 (as quoted)
"May the bounteous fire-divine consume them with his fiercely glowing sharp jaws like flames, who disregard the commandments and steadfast laws of most venerable and sagacious lord."

The Final Testament
[2:28] How can you disbelieve in GOD when you were dead and He gave you life, then He puts you to death, then He brings you back to life, then to Him you ultimately return?

"It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."

Jewish (Prophets) — each soul answers for itselfClear match

The Final Testament
[53:38] No soul bears the sins of another soul. [53:39] Every human being is responsible for his own works. [99:7] Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it. [99:8] And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. [2:48] Beware of the day when no soul can avail another soul, no intercession will be accepted, no ransom can be paid…

To a Hindu, begin with the Rigvedic funeral hymn and the Atharvavedic rivers of honey and milk beside 47:15 — the listener will hear their own svarga — and only then raise rebirth, as a question about which Vedic texts are earliest, never as a charge; keep 2:28's two-lives reading ready. To a Christian, begin with Luke 20:36 and Hebrews 9:27 beside 44:56 and 3:185, then Ezekiel 18:20 and Galatians 6:7 beside 53:38–39, and let the question of a mediator arise from the listener's own Ezekiel. To an atheist or agnostic, this strand follows strand 10: first the Creator, then the moral argument (8.10), then the Quran's own resurrection argument (36:78–81, 75:3–4). Always pair warning with hope (R24): 39:53 "never despair of GOD's mercy", with its limit (4:48 and footnote) stated honestly.
