I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with her bars closed upon me for ever; Yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.

I express gratitude to the entire families of Adebiyi and the Idowu for their kind support and prayers. I wish that my late parents, Gabriel Adekola Idowu and Susanna Jumoke Idowu were alive to see the woman that I have become since Jesus took over my life. May their souls rest in eternal peace. Anyways, this expression has existed for at least 400 years. It was used, for example, by William Shakespeare in the play Twelfth Night, written around 1601: to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored. While death is a solitary experience, it is followed by the communion of saints. We will be united to all those we have loved who have themselves been saved. Best of all, we will be united with Jesus Christ forever, an ecstasy that will be denied to those who have denied him and sought in every way to resist his love (Matthew 10:32). As Thomas Aquinas assures us in his hymn Adoro Te Devote:Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death, views of the publisher, and the publisher hereby disclaims any responsibility for them. Appreciation I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.

It was clear the 1,500-mile flight fromMindanao to Australia was not going to be a “milk run.” At one point their path took them between two major Japanese airbases. Nevertheless, the two bombers took off and arrived safely at Del Monte around 10 pm on March 16. There were supposed to be three bombers, but one did not leave Australia because of a fuel leak. For one who is without faith, so long as he is in good health and comfortable circumstances, the fear of his own death hardly ever occurs to him as a matter of great and terrible significance. Yet such a person cannot escape the growing conviction through advancing years that death is for him the ultimate end beyond which nothingness lies. He must come to conclude in time that at the end he will become stiff, lifeless, cold … decay, decompose, and stink…. The deep promises contained in love, goodness, and beauty would be a lie. Earthly life would indeed be ‘a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ We can choose such a horrible death, of course; but who would want to choose it, and why?

Be gracious to me, LORD; consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me. Lift me up from the gates of death, To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, | The earth, her bars [are] behind me for all time. And You bring my life up from the pit, O YHWH my God.

Taken into the bowels of the Earth, they discover they are in the lost kingdom of Atlantis. Offered as sacrifices to the fish-goddess, Amdo, the Doctor and his companions are rescued from the jaws of death by the famous scientist, Zaroff. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.Be gracious unto me, O LORD, Behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death; Thus, this phrase’s origin might have to do with fearsome animals like these and the deadly jaws they have. After all, if someone managed to escape from them, they would literally have escaped from “the jaws of death.” Be gracious to me, O Yahweh; See my affliction from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom…
