6593. 'And Joseph died' means that the internal ceased to exist. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as ceasing to be such, dealt with in 494, 6587; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, dealt with in 6499. Regarding what the Church is like when the internal has ceased to exist, see above in 6587, 6592.
