When King David wrote the 23rd Psalm he was not talking about a specific valley in the promised land. He was speaking of this earthly existence. If you have any doubts that we live in the Valley of the Shadow of Death, hopefully, once you've read some of these postings, you'll come to realize that we need God's divine protection to even survive this fleshly life until our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
The BLUE pill or the RED pill?
You take the BLUE pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the RED pill, you stay in the valley and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
The Valley AFTER the Veil is Lifted
Ephesians 6:12 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
Isaiah 29:15 KJV Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Ephesians 5:11 NKJV And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. (27) What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. (28) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
1Thess 5:4-5 KJV But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Rom 13:12 KJV The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
