4833. 'And Jehovah caused him to die' means that there was no representative of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as ceasing to be such, dealt with in 494, and also as the end of representation, 3253, 3259, 3276. The meaning here therefore is that no representative of the Church could exist with any who would have been descended from him, as accords with what has been stated immediately above in 4832.
