It's an actual threat of some kind "Do this and you'll go to a place you actually know about" with a supernatural twist "...and burn forever".
Again, the point ultimately is it's the bible and everything there-in is bullshit anyway, but you get the point.
Is there a primary source I can access that states Gehenna was a city dump?
