Is there a verse that says when the silver cord breaks you are immediately in the presence of God?

Hi JF Maddox. Ecclesiastes 12:6,7: "Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." These might be the verses you're thinking of.

Or even of the hymn from the same Scripture:

Some day the silver cord will break,

And I no more as now shall sing;

But, O the joy when I shall wake

Within the presence of the King!



Refrain

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story, saved by grace:

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story, saved by grace.

(and 3 more verses)

These verses in Ecclesiastes speak of the certainty of human death (of the body & its return to earth), but of the eternality of the human spirit which returns to God.

Dear "JF Maddox"

Ecclesiastes 12:6

Stay Blessed in His Holy Name Jesus, love u in Christ. Luke 8:40-56

Sounds like a Poem.

It may be a poetic writing inspired by the WORD of GOD. Resemblance to GOD's timing & mercy.

Please see, these scripture, Matthew 24, Mark 13, whole chapters, 1Corinthians 15:52, Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 12:15-59, 2Peter 3:9

Hopefully these are helpful
