Valley of the Shadow of Death
through which Christian had to pass in
order to get to the Celestial City. The prophet Jeremiah describes it
as a “wilderness, a land of deserts and of pits, a land of drought and
of the shadow of death” (ii. 6); and the Psalmist says, “Though I walk
through the valley of `he shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for
Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me” (xxiii. 4).
“The light there is darkness, and the way full of traps and gins to
catch the unwary.” —Bunyan: Pilgrim's Progress, pt. i.
