I think you're taking His statement way too literally.
John 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
The context reads more about the purpose of Lazarus' death, not the reality of it.
He died, but Jesus resurrected Him, therefore His sickness as a means to an end was not to death, but to present an opportunity for God to be glorified. That's how I understand it, anyway.
