Separation of Death

Is Till Death do us Part about the death of the Church? Let's examine.

DEATH OR HELL: UNSAVED CHURCH THAT IS BABYLON?

Ps 49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed <07462> on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

Jer 22:22 The wind shall eat up <07462> all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

Ps 55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

Joe 2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

Na 3:15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.

Ps 17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, {} thy sword:

Job 24:20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

Ho 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

MARRIAGE: UNION OF CORPORATE CHURCH TO CHRIST?

Jer 3:14 TURN, O **backsliding children**, saith the LORD; for I AM MARRIED TO YOU: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

Jer 3:22 RETURN, ye **backsliding children**, and I will HEAL your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.

Jer 2:32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a BRIDE her attire? yet MY PEOPLE have **forgotten me** days without number.

Ho 11:7 And MY PEOPLE are bent to **backsliding** FROM ME: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

Jer 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby **backsliding ISRAEL** committed ADULTERY I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

2Pe 2:14 Having eyes full of ADULTERY, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

Re 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit ADULTERY with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Re 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the BRIDEGROOM and of the BRIDE shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

SEPARATION: JUDGMENT ON THE CHURCH THROUGH DEATH?

Ru 1:17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death <04194> part <06504> thee and me.

2Sa 1:23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death <04194> they were not divided <06504>: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

Mr 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let <5563> not man put asunder <5563>.

Ro 8:35 Who shall separate <5563> us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Lu 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a GREAT GULF FIXED: so that they which would pass from hence to you **cannot**; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Job 19:8 He hath fenced up my way that I **cannot pass**, and he hath set DARKNESS in my paths.

Ge 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden CHERUBIMS, and a FLAMING SWORD which turned every way, to **keep the way** of the tree of life.

Ex 14:20 And IT came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a CLOUD and DARKNESS to them, but it gave light by night {}: so that the one **came not** near the other all the night.

Isa 59:2 But your INIQUITIES have **separated between** you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Eze 42:20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make **a SEPARATION between** the sanctuary and the PROFANE place.

Mt 25:32 And before HIM shall be gathered all nations: and he shall **SEPARATE them (through death) one from another**, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the GOATS:

Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very GREAT VALLEY; and half of the mountain shall **remove** toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Re 2:23 And I will kill her children with DEATH; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

ABSENCE OF DEATH: REDEMPTION OF THE BODY?

Ro 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; DEATH hath no more dominion over him.

Re 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more DEATH, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Re 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more SEA.

Ho 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from DEATH: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is DEATH.

Re 20:14 And DEATH and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

Although the language of Till death do us Part is not in the Bible word for word, the Bible appears to be painting the picture of this being God using Babylon (death) to create the separation of the Body in judgment. We understand the Elect are eternally married to Christ so that death (Babylon) can never again be a part of the Body. However, God’s marriage to the corporate church was conditional. Her lack of faith, however, caused God to judge her with death.
