THE SANCTUARY OR THE MORTUARY


There are two choices set before every man by God himself; Life or death; Salvation or damnation; Heaven or hell; Good or evil; Light or darkness, etc. Whichever is chosen determines the person's destiny, whether positively or negatively.
A sanctuary is a sacred or holy place; a place of safety and protection. It is a place where God's presence is revealed and manifested; a place used for worship, a sanctified place, Ps. 27:1-6.
The word Mortuary on the other hand is a place of the dead, a place where dead bodies are kept before they are buried. The line of separation between the Sanctuary and the Mortuary is 'the living and the dead'. The Sanctuary is used by the living while the Mortuary is used by the dead. God is a living God Matt.22:31-32, Lk. 21:1-8 , hence those found in his presence (Sanctuary) are the living and those not found there are in the mortuary of the dead. It is either one is living or dead, if one is not found in the land of the living, the person is dead and the dead are kept in the mortuary.
