God's Deep Dark (Secret) Presence-Evil (Psalm 18:11)
The Online Bible used for this article is the ESV. However to better understand God's Spritual And Prophetic thoughts it is advised that you use the King James (1611) Version. Thus you will understand God's prophetic meaning behind words such as: "buffet(ing)", "deep", "sea" and many other Bible Words (Matthew 4:4; Revelation 22:18-20; Psalm 119:105; John 17:17).
There is a "secret" and "hidden" place where God throws some of His servants. This place has many Bible names but is known as the "Deep" (Jonah 2:3; Psalm 69:1-4, 14; Romans 10:7). It is God's Deep Dark (Black) Presence (Exodus 20:21; Luke 23:43-46; Joel 2:1-10; Isaiah 45:6-7).

1) God's Deep Dark Presence (Exodus 20:21; Luke 23:43-46)
Psalm 42:1-11 explains how abandoned, scared, and loney God's servant would feel in this "Deep". This article explains God's Hidden Place "The Deep" and why "dark", "undesirable" and possibly "evil" presences do not necessarily equate with God's displeasure.
David and Jonah were thrown into God's Deep (Sea) Darkness (Jonah 1:15-17; Jonah 2:3-5; Psalm 69:1-4). Paul also was "taken (caught up)" into this Deep Dark Presence of God Which Is Paradise (Luke 23:43-46; Revelation 2:7; 2 Corinthians 12:1-4; Joel 2:1-2; Exodus 19:9-17; Psalm 18:6-11; Psalm 104:6, 20-27).
Shadow- The Shadow Is In The Deep Dark Presence Of Death And Hell (Hades). It Is The King's Inner (Wedding) Chamber. The King Is Jesus. Jesus Is Light And Causes A Shadow In God's Deep Dark Presence. This "Shadow" Is God's Secret Place (Hidden Place) Which Protects Jesus's Followers From God's "Evil" Wrath Upon Sinners. Moses Law Was "Death" Because No Human Could Keep It. In God's Mercy God Sent The Light Of Jesus Out Of His Dark Presence To Save Humans From Death/Hell. This Is What "The Keys To The Kingdom" Represented (Isaiah 45:6-7; Psalm 23:1-6; Psalm 91:1-6; Psalm 18:1-30; John 8:12; Exodus 20:21; Luke 23:43-46; Revelation 2:7; John 1:1-20; 2 Corinthians 3:1-17; 1 John 1:5; Exodus 19:9-17; Psalm 19:5; Song Of Solomon 3:4; 2 Samuel 18:33, Judges 15:1; 1 Kings 6:8; 1 Kings 17:15-23; 1 Kings 22:25; 2 King 23:11; Nehemiah 13:7-8; Revelation 19:1-12; Romans 10:4; Matthew 16:19; Revelation 1:18).
God gives Revelations and Prophecies To Those Cast Into His Deep (Psalm 69:1-4, 9, 21; John 2:12-17; Matthew 27:34; Jonah 2:3; Jonah 3:2; 2 Corinthians 12:2-4; 2 Corinthians 12:1, 7; Ephesians 4:1-14).
There is also Horrifying "Evil" in being present in God's Deep Dark Presence (Dark Shadow-Valley Of Death) causing recipients to "cry out" for deliverance (or withdrawal) (Genesis 15:12; 2 Corinthians 12:7-9; Psalm 69:1-4, 14; Jonah 2:1-17; Exodus 19:9-17; Exodus 20:18-21; Psalm 23:4; Mark 15:34-39; Matthew 27:3, 46, 50; Luke 23:46; Jonah 2:1-2; Isaiah 45:6-7; Joel 2:1-10).
1) God had "thrown" David into the "Deep" (Psalm 69:1-3 read that whole chapter)
Jesus Christ was also in the "Deep" (Romans 10:7)
2) This Deep "Pit (Ditch)" (Psalm 119:85; Matthew 15:14) that David was thrown in has acts of perversions (Psalm 119:78) and afflictions (Psalm 119:92, 107 153). Demonic Princes (angels/messengers of Satan) persecuted David in this pit (Psalm 119:161, 84, 86, 157 Daniel 10:13 Ephesians 6:12 Colossians 1:16 Colossians 2:15)
3) Apostle Paul was buffeted and persecuted in the exact same way by the messenger of Satan (2 Corinthians 12:7, 10). This buffeting persecution (Mark 14:65) occurred when Paul entered the exact same "Paradise" that Jesus entered on the Cross. That "Paradise" was the Deep Dark Presence of God (2 Corinthians 12:2-4, 7; Luke 23:43-44; Revelation 2:7; Joel 2:1-10; Exodus 19:9-17; Exodus 20:21).
4) Jesus promised "Paradise" to the malefactor (criminal) on the cross as Darkness (Luke 23:43-44) filled that location during the sixth hour.
The Bible Number Six Prophetically Points To The Sixth "Hour" Of Darkness Where Disobedient Humans Are "Pressed" And Prepared (Made Ready, Make Ready, Prepare) To Cast Off Their Fleshly "Garments" And Repent Into Spirit So They Can Enter (Passover, Rapture) God's Presence "Paradise" (Heaven-Holy City-Jerusalem) (John 19:14-16; Luke 23:43-46; Revelation 2:7; 2 Corinthians 12:1-7; John 3:1-8; John 4:24; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17; Hebrews 12:22; Galatians 4:24-26; Revelation 21:1-5; Matthew 27:50-54; Revelation 19:11-10).
5) It was also the "sixth" hour when Jesus met the woman at the well and this well was (the) "deep" (John 4:6, 11).
6) Jesus entered Paradise with that criminal during that sixth hour of Darkness (on the Cross). God's "Secret Place" (God's Hidden Place) is usually connected with Darkness (Psalm 18:9-10). Paradise is the lower (lowest) parts of the Earth that the Bible talks about. Job and all Israelites went to this location (Sheol) when they died. They waited until the CROSS to be "delivered from sheol (deep/pit)" by Jesus. This "pit/deep" is Abraham's Bosom and Paradise (Acts 2:27; Job 14:13-Douay Version; Luke 16:23).
During The Sixth Hour Of The Crucifixion and His Death Jesus entered "Paradise" where Jesus freed Abraham, Abraham's seed and the Gentile believers from sheol (Luke 16:23 Luke 23:43-44).
Jesus also entered the Evil Spirit Prison which is the "Deep (lower parts of the Earth)" (1 Peter 3:18-21 Romans 10:7 Ephesians 4:10).
7) The Bible implies that Christ descended into that "Deep" and ascended from it to give spiritual gifts and teaching positions to others (Ephesians 4:7-13). I know I have a calling in these areas.
8) Notice how may Bible people are connected with waters (Genesis 1:1-5), deep, floods-Noah (the deep Genesis 7:11), being thrown into the sea/deep (Jonah Jonah 2:3), the sea (Red Sea-Exodus Chapter 14), Beast out of the Sea (Revelation Chapter 13; Psalm 104:20-27), pits, sheol, cave, Noah, ark, sepulchre, valley of the shadow of death, tempted in the wilderness, and so on.
The "Deep" is an actual place in a Christian's mind/thoughts/heart (Psalm 64:6 2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
