Hi, Ed, It refers to the river Jordan, which is a biblical reference--crossing Jordan means dying and heading to the promised land.

I believe "Jordan" here refers to "The Jordan River".

I agree with Ashley. It is the Jordan river and does refer to entering the promised land. BTW It is expression not expiration
